Not everyone is aware of this, but the Big Mac was invented in 1958 by Ray Kroc in Peoria, IL. He had the idea in the stockroom of his flagship store, during a guilt-ridden orgasm

Well, you know my thoughts on the matter of soulmates and such. "If it's meant to be, it will happen." I don't think this means there's a "window of opportunity" where if you don't jump, ya missed the boat. If the sailor is one that is fated to be with you, then eventually his boat will return at a time that works for each of you. But if it's not meant to happen, nothing you do will make a difference, and in fact could make things worse and more painful.
You know, I go back and forth on that one. I used to think no, using that old standard logic of "what if my soulmate is on the other side of the world". Although I was a religious person, I didn't think God/Supreme Being/Creator/Whatever you call Him, took the time to match up each individual with someone else. But the more I think about it (ie. older I get) the more I warm up to the idea that there is indeed one person out there for each person. What if that person is on the other side of the world? Then one of you is destined to travel to the other's side at some point. The happy and successful marriages/relationships that I've seen are all couple where the two people really do seem like soulmates

Thanks for the input. I totally agree; I think it takes both fate and a certian amount of proactiveness (is that a word?) to match up with The One at the right time. But the question is exactly how much do you leave to fate and how much do you actively pursue? Too much or too little of either could conceivably screw up the whole thing. I feel like I've been leaving it all up to destiny, believing that The One will come and knock me off my feet, and I'll just *know*. Ugh, see that's the problem with watching those damned BTTF movies so many times -- they've given me these jaded views on love at first sight! :-P

I think everyone has that feeling that there's someone in their life, whether it be the person you are with now or someone else, that is their soulmate. But, I don't think it is necessarily a two-way street.
You can spend the rest of your days searching for "The One" and never find them. Or you can find that person, but lose touch with them, as you say you have. Or you could be with someone who is everything to you, but somehow, there isn't that "spark" that you had with a past relationship. But, at some point in your life, you have to make a choice

"A crazy, wild-eyed Dr. Phil", eh?! That really made me smile. :) Thanks for the taking the time to impart such words of wisdom on me. It's really good to get a guy's point of view on this, since all I've talked to about this have been females--and we tend to have a romanticized view on how "true love" is supposed to be. It's funny how I'm very logically minded/scientific with everything else -- I really don't buy into the supernatural, etc. -- but I'm very superstitious when it comes to love. *sigh

Wow, it's weird that we had a conversation two nights ago about this very thing, and now here I am coming to your post on the subject. But I guess it's not all that surprising; it's probably something on your mind a lot. Well, anyway, I'll wait until you get in another serious mood to make another lame attempt to offer some insight on this issue.
Hold on a minute... I just realized this is the legendary "guilt ridden orgasm" post! Wow, what a historic occasion! Was THAT what inspired you to write this? Did a guilt ridden orgasm cause you to start thinking about your soulmate? Hang on just a minute. I'm trying to see how many times I can squeeze the phrase "guilt ridden orgasm" into one paragraph. I'm still trying to get into the Guinness book, and now that they've stopped including the "Stuffing Midgets Into the Bottom Cabinet of an Entertainment Unit" category, I'm forced to find something different to try. And you know the day I make it into that book, I'm gonna have one major guilt ridden orgasm!
Yes, you figured me out! I started having these deep thoughts when my life flashed before my eyes during a guilt ridden orgasm... It was NOT in the stockroom of a McDonalds, though. It was an Arby's.
Okay, I propose our new Guinness goal is to get the record for guilt ridden orgasms just as we did for whore. (Um, SAYING guilt ridden orgasms, not having them, I mean.) And FYI, if you have ANY sort of orgasm from stuffing midgets into the bottom of entertaiment units, I can't see how it would NOT be guilt ridden....
I am all down for your plan to get into the record book by saying "guilt ridden orgasms" the most times. As it happens, I already own the record for HAVING guilt ridden orgasms, but Guinness won't print that one for some reason. But an orgasm brought on by midget stuffing doesn't necessarily have to guilt ridden. What if the midget likes it and ASKED you to do it?
