Domestic Bliss

My warranty expired about five years ago, and Big Guy has either been too cheap or too thoughtless to get it renewed. So I was pleased to see today that I can probably get my warranty upheld under Big Guy's fantastic new "domestic partners" policy for government employees. I really need a de-frag bad.

I know that, technically, he and I aren't "married." But then again, if you believe all the rumors (some of which I can neither confirm nor deny), Big Guy either is or isn't a U.S. citizen, either was or was not formally married to Michelle, and may or may not be a Muslim, Baptist or atheist.

He and I have been cohabitating for more than 10 years; that's common-law in most states. It's either that, or try to pass myself off as Toes' committed partner. I'm not that desperate.
