Congrats to Caustic Yarn and D'ern

You're a good man.

 

Well, if Dern says it's okay...

 

No where in the country are you legally next of kin unless you are married - or born next of kin. Minor children don't count as they cannot legally make decisions.

It is easier for family to contest a will or override a medical proxy if you aren't married.

It's my family I am worried about - I would have Derns body through the woodchipper before his could even rally.

 

And North Dakota being so close by....

 

Bitterness? Not on my part.
A little vindication, maybe.
That's not rude.

 

Texas has some very well laid out common law marriage, laws.

 

You are officially now the owner of a pickled egg...

 

Will that now be considered a term of endearment?

 

That hurts...out flanked by the Casper McWhitey. What am I chopped Jell-O?

 

Yep!

 

You and I, my friend, will have a different arrangement.

You have something to barter with, and I do like a redhead. What does Powder McCasperpants have to trade? Papa?

 

I'll have to start working on my end of the deal. Do you own a tool belt? Tool belts are her thing.

 

So within 72 hours this went from a marital congratulations to wife swapping...

god I love the Beeb

 

No actual swapping has taken place yet. The deal is currently still being brokered.

 

These need to be two separate events and not a group thing.

And I get the red-head.

 

Minnesota dropped its common law stuff a long time ago. I don't remember why.

 

How do you feel about event historical preservation via video?

 

Good on you both. Congrats.

 

I'm not watching it, but I will consent for historical preservation purposes.

 

Ohhh if it's you and the red head there will indeed be video preservation. Dern and I can take a long vacation with the generated revenue.
