The cousin came over to me with mu husband and said “I want you to meet my baby cousin”. I laughed and said “are You his lawyer”?. Then we all laughed, and that was it. 55 yrs ago, haha.

Medsed October 28, 2020 Share October 28, 2020 We were assigned lab partners in chemistry 101 freshman year of college. We hit it off and have been married 34+ years and together a few years longer. When we got married our lab instructor found out and he sent a card shaped like a flask that said...see, I knew there was chemistry..... still have it tucked away somewhere. it seems like yesterday that I met him and thought his dark curls were sexy....he still makes me weak in the knees! 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10625-small-talk-who-to-marry-where-to-live-and-other-non-show-stuff/page/3/#findComment-6422202

I also noticed it looked like he had a gun holster under his shirt.

A went to Vegas a few years ago with a friend who'd never been before - I'd been a few times. We rented a car one day and did the Death Valley thing. It was amazing. We were there in March and it was still incredibly hot, and we made sure when we were walking in a section that was sand dunes that we left markers (empty water bottles that we picked up on the way back) - and we didn't go more than a few hundred yards. I'm glad we did, as there was a weird mirage where it looked as if the car park was not behind us (as we knew it was) but way over to the right. I can see how people can get lost there. We also saw a roadrunner cross the road followed by a coyote (!), and there are so many different places to see - the Golden Canyon, Zabriskie Point at sunset, Ash Meadows... it was astonishing. I said to my friend that, as he'd not been to Vegas before, we'd do whatever he wanted - with one exception. I insisted that we went to see Donny Osmond at the Flamingo. I was going to marry him when I was 14, and still love him as much as I did in 1973. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10625-small-talk-who-to-marry-where-to-live-and-other-non-show-stuff/page/3/#findComment-6590475

I cannot stand humidity! Back to our show....... It seems like most of these people, other than Virginia have been to Vegas before, so it doesn’t seem that exciting to go there for a honeymoon.

Honestly, these are the couples make this show - not the total obvious villains like Chris. There's nothing to discuss there because there is only one way to see that couple - toxic. With a couple like Jake or Haley I think everyone's personal experiences and own stories influence whose side you will end up on, much like Brett and Olivia. But at the end of the day, neither of these people are horrible, just horribly mismatched. They both seem much more likeable when apart. It would be best for them to end it now and go their own separate ways. That being said........Team Jake all they way! ;-0 I really struggled to finish this one. I have been care taking my husband who just had back surgery on Wednesday. I just couldn't concentrate. I only remember Jake and Haley and a sad/awkward dinner and wedding video for Clara & Ryan. Something is definitely wrong there. If they don't make it I will not be shocked, but I do admit it will make me kind of sad. Were Vincent and Brianna even on this episode?

gingerandcloves January 21, 2022 Share January 21, 2022 I recommend the NOLA season also. Washington D.C. was a disaster. Houston was also really bad. Atlanta had its moments. If you watch it, I would recommend fast-forwarding through any segments with Chris and/or Paige. Just my two cents. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10625-small-talk-who-to-marry-where-to-live-and-other-non-show-stuff/page/3/#findComment-7243527

It’s funny, I remember criticizing the NOLA season (12) early on for being boring. But by the end of the season, I loved that the couples mostly dealt with “normal” relationship issues—and the early days of COVID. There was the expected reality show editing and producer antics, but this season remains my favorite. I haven’t been able to finish most of the other recent seasons—my heart breaks too much for these couples and what the producers put them through. Charlotte (9) had some cringey moments, but I remember having lively discussions in the forum. And I liked most of the couples. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10625-small-talk-who-to-marry-where-to-live-and-other-non-show-stuff/page/3/#findComment-7247667

Yeah No February 25, 2022 Share February 25, 2022 (edited) Quote I didn't say it was. I live in New Jersey. I live in the east. Money goes further in Boston than it does in the nj. NJ is crazy expensive to live in. I make less than Mark seems to while i live in my own townhouse, have no debt, have savings in the bank, save money every month, never miss a bill and never struggle for money. Im also not rich by any means. Never have been. I see the world. I understand the struggle. Six figures is not the norm in any state of the country. Certain areas in certain states. Sure. But, that's splitting hairs. @Racj82, here are links to some articles ranking the top ten states with the highest cost of living in the US. In the first two, New Jersey is not even on the top ten list. On the second, it is tenth on the list while CT and MA rank with higher costs of living. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-expensive-states-to-live-in https://www.insure.com/cost-of-living-by-state.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/these-are-americas-most-expensive-states-to-live-in.html This one below, based on the government cost of living index places MA as 5th on the list, while CT is 8th. NJ is 12th! https://meric.mo.gov/data/cost-living-data-series So this is why I don't agree with you. Some of what you may be experiencing may be because NJ is very expensive in some areas and not as expensive in others. Bergen County is very high compared with other counties. The people on MAFS are living not only in one of the most expensive states in the nation, but they are living in one of the most expensive cities in the entire country when cost of living is factored into the equation. Here is an Investopedia list of the top 10 most expensive cities in the US. Boston is number 4 on the list under NY, San Francisco and Honolulu in that order. CT is also extremely expensive. Sure, we have areas that are less expensive, but especially in the cities and their suburbs it can be very high. If an admin. assistant can make upwards of $65,000 per year 6 years ago in Hartford (which is when I stopped working), I can't imagine what it must be like now to live on that as rents and housing prices, plus groceries (all thanks to the pandemic) have gone way up. I was living alone on $55,000 ten years ago and struggling, and I didn't have a lavish lifestyle either. I was lucky and had a comparatively cheap apartment in not such a fashionable neighborhood. And even THEN it was hard to get by. And believe me, I'm the queen of budgeting. I cook for myself. I shop in off price places. So Mark, selling gym memberships? Not a lucrative career.

I was reading on Boston.com earlier that Boston has the second highest rents after San Francisco. Average rent for one bedroom in South Boston is $2375/month, well above the national average of $1688. This is why there are not many working class folks left in Southie. Mark's friend had on a Brockton t-shirt. If Mark lives there, the rents are a lot less so he is probably living well with his salary as the average rent is $1400. .

ByTor February 25, 2022 Share February 25, 2022 Well this is really interesting. I assumed Boston would be fairly expensive, I had no idea it was this much so. I would never dream of dunking on anyone for what they do or how much they make, but I get why $65k isn't great for that area. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10625-small-talk-who-to-marry-where-to-live-and-other-non-show-stuff/page/3/#findComment-7312931
