Marriage=Death...I always suspected...

There is a new study that shows bad marriages can literally kill you. People who don't have healthy close relationships are more likely to suffer heart problems. Go figure.

Is there anything positive to say about marraiges these days? All you hear about are the problems, the high cheating rates, high divorce rates, death. What happened to marriage being something to look forward to?

Is marriage considered serious these days? Or do people just think of it as something to try with hopes of it lasting forever? I'm not quite sure what I think about getting married. I want to believe that if I get married it will last, but realistically it doesn't seem like the odds of that are very good.

Any thoughts about marriage?

Here's the link to the article that I found on CNN.com.

Monkey News is the Best Kind of News

I was scrolling through the New York Post's website when I thought I saw a picture of one of those little monkeys that kinda looks like it has a beard. Of course, I go back to it because this has got to be some interesting stuff. But no, it was not a monkey. It was a man. Apparently an actor named Harvey Fierstein. Here's the photo. I swear if you are just going through a page quickly, it looks like a monkey.
