Dear Addled-on-Cortes

    I’ve been on this island for months and I haven’t met a guy yet who wants to
make a commitment. What do you suggest?

Dear Empty Handed

Erma Bombeck once said that no woman should marry until all her children were
finished college, and I tend to agree. Any woman considering tying herself down
before the age of fifty should realize that with any permanent partnership here are
a few things of the pleasures to expect.

   More parents; lack of mobility; insanity; debt ( someone else’s) movie nights..at
   home; more Christmas cards to write; gardening; clogged plumbing; an average of
   7300  dinners to plan, cook, and later clean up, alone, unless one is ok using 14,600
   biodegradable paper plates ( I recommend Chinet).  Several children..some who are
   not even yours ; Insanity; And there’s more! There’s always more!

Think carefully..whoever it was that said marriage changes your life knew of what
they spoke.
