11. I tried crying
we even went to game stop where I was going to force him to let me buy it, but they were out!

I told them I thought it was cruel to put out the boxes in front of their counter when they didn't have any to sell.

:cry:

13. My wife just went out and fucking bought us one. Well,
it has kept her and our daughter entertained.

I tried a couple of the games, but was not really into it.

:shrug:

14. If your not legally married, the remaining partner has no right to the
deceased person's property.

Here's a true story for you: A gay man in my former church spent over 25 years with the same partner. Then the partner died of a fast-growing cancer, six weeks after diagnosis, without a will.

The partner's relatives, who had never approved of the relationship, came into the house and took everything that the partner had brought into the relationship or purchased for himself--furniture, dishes, artworks, the piano, books, clothing, everything. According to law, they had the rights of survivorship, since the deceased partner had never willed his property to anyone else.

The surviving partner was left with almost no mementos and couldn't do a damn thing about it.

THAT's why you need a will. People, gay or straight, in any kind of a relationship that is not legally recognized, need a will. Otherwise, the blood relatives automatically get everything.

16. Sensible but the argument is for a WII not a will unless I am wrong.

19. Can't you do excercise using a Wii? Someone I was talking to at a party said he
breaks into a sweat while on his Wii.

21. 1) You've met another guy... a guy with a Wii. 2) It's not Jesus saves; it's Wiisus saves
3) Martin Luther King had a dream... a dream of you with a Wii. Don't let this great American haved died in vain.

4) When you think about all the meals you'll miss because you're stuck in front of the monitor, it practically pays for itself in 6 months!

27. because it's fun and you can actually get some exercise as well. There are games where you can
sit on your ass too. We have more fun at my house when my daughter and husband are both home and play something, the family room becomes house of smack talk.
