funny-relationship men want
Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from.
communication want mail
The odd thing about this form of communication is you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many... somethings. So, thanks.
love-you want problem
That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.
fun pie want
I know that I am essentially a sort of fun-loving person who really just wants to sit around and eat pies.
age want aging
I don't know why so much nonsense about age is written - although I can certainly understand that no one really wants to read anything that says aging sucks.
expectations want settling
I don't want to be someone that you're settling for. I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?
want ifs women-want
If Sigmund Freud had watched Phil Donahue he would never have wondered what women want.

again almost basic believe desire equally followed married primal regret seemed single urge women
It seemed to me that the desire to get married - which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again
few good hit remaining
The realization that I may have only a few good years remaining has hit me with real force, and I have done a lot of thinking as a result. I would like to have come up with something profound, but I haven't.
believe life
Denial has been a way of life for me for many years. I actually believe in denial.
american-author hard worked
What my mother believed about cooking is that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.
death love people strikes
Death is a sniper. It strikes people you love, people you like, people you know - it's everywhere. You could be next. But then you turn out not to be. But then again, you could be.
