@GrimmReality Haven’t read the WAPO thing yet either, but the linkef Salon article you alludes to studies showing that married people are happier than single people:
IIRC, those studies showed that married MEN were happier than single men. But married WOMEN, were generally not as happy as single women.
Again IIRC, another study shows a similar gender divide for the health effects of marriage; & one showing that women who’ve never been married are financially better off than divorced women.

We had to give up all the furry pets when we moved from the farm to town (because parent's allergies in combo with much smaller land area), but Gilmore had nice hypoallergenic scales. He was very sweet & cuddly,

(I don’t bother talking theology with the kid: babies make all sorts of noises that don’t require verbal engagement)

The Ides Of Evelyn (gorfram@beige.party)'s status on Thursday, 07-Dec-2023 23:33:36 JST The Ides Of Evelyn @seanbala @LifeTimeCooking I think it’s something like this:
You post something about a local river having turned an alarming shade of green. I see that you’re in Chicago & it’s March 17; &, because I’m a fellow American with a pulse, know exactly what you’re talking about. But then your post gets boosted into the TLs of a few non-Americans, who might very reasonably conclude that there’s been some terrible environmental disaster, especially your post included an image. -

Every other Irish-American population in the US also pulls out all the stops & paints them green for the day; & everyone who wants to be is an honorary Irish-American. My father, although non-Irish the other 364 days of the year, always dyed the white streaks of his beard green. -

(I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but I’d like to know how that plan is going to work.)
