IndyGirl I also have not proposed to anyone. I agree with Udderones about being curious about arranged marriages. I am glad yours works out and you have a daughter. Be happy. It is always interesting to learn things from other cultures.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 5 Aug 07

The other day I was watching an episode of the Rachel Ray show and one of her guests was talking about how to get the perfect pair of jeans. Most of the advice was lost on me as I rarely wear jeans. But, Rachel did say something...

IndyGirl I agree with Robinhood88, I could wear jeans everyday. I love them. I think Levis are the ones that fit better after washing. I wash all my jeans before wearing them. It makes them not so stiff.
