So after 3 months of legalized same sex marriage in Iowa
how many hetero sex marriages have broken up?
Any one here having problems?
I was hoping to hear of at least ONE republican legislator getting divorced, thus proving their point. But I haven't. Has anyone?

1. My neighbors next door just celebrated their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary
with a big family party but I'm sure they'll be getting divorced any day now, because of gay weddings taking place in Iowa.

I'm a little unclear on exactly how this is supposed to work.
Maybe if I asked Rep Steve King, he would explain it to me.

3. I wouldn't worry about the noises -- she may just be muttering to herself
while trying to find her reading glasses or the car keys or the WD-40 or the antacid tabs or the pliers or her checkbook or the good paring knife or the light bill.....

I'm a lot older than she is and these are the things that seem to migrate from where I think I left them. A great deal of muttering goes on during these times (Fortunately, the cats don't care).

I humbly suggest the noises she's making probably have nothing to do with you at all...

4. Well, let's see
Since the introduction of legal gay marriage;

So far the sky has not fallen in.
Nothing unusual has rained down out of the sky.
And there are no rampaging hordes of beavers or any other animals running around eating everything in site.

8. Yep.
We just spend a ton in Iowa. It's just too bad that my own state of Indiana chooses to deny our rights. Dinners, gas taxes and lets not forget taxes on alcohol! We would have much prefered that the sales taxes we paid go to my fellow Hoosiers.
