How much longer
I grew up slightly wistful that I wouldn't see the year 2000. It wasn't because I couldn't imagine being that old, I just knew I wouldn't. At 2 minutes to midnight, Dec 31st 1999, hectic street party, someone fired a shot in my direction and I thought oh, riiiight. Then I thought hang on, am I dead or not?
So it has been unexpected borrowed time since then, and the last couple of years have been particularly brilliant. But how much longer before that bullet finally catches up?
I come from a family which roars into the eighties before starting to falter, but that thought horrifies me. I don't want to get old (too late, too late, would be the chorus from most on this website) but when does old actually start?
First signs of losing of the memory or mind? If I have, I haven't noticed. You'd tell me, right?
First aches and pains and groaning when you get up (or sit down)? Touch wood, still leaping around like a flea (especially when cramp attacks during that morning stretch, but that's not age, has had me dancing a morning fandango for years)
First time you get a chance to go out with someone hot and think hmm, rather stay home and read a book?
I have friends younger than me with arthritis and aching joints, yikes. I have friends 10 years older who insist life gets better and better. Luck of the draw, but I do know I don't want to get old. I long since told my daughter if anything abruptly happens and I'm gone, she must remember I'd have been surprised but ultimately downright relieved.
I just wondered when, apart from having a bloody birthday, one realizes "hell I am OLD". Anyone got an opinion?

It's OFFICIAL
Received the Judgement from the court today, I am offically divorced. Took a painstaking 9 months to finalize and several trips back and forth to the court house..... (one day after my mom's passing...thanks mom)
Ok, they say things come in 3's, so here they are: Last night my baseball team won their final playoff game to appear in the World Series. In their 54 years existence they have gone to the big dance 5 times. This may be the last time I see it in my lifetime....oh, it's the New York Mets. Sorry for you guys from Chicago who haven't been to the dance in 70, yes SEVENTY YEARS. If you beat the Mets I was ok with that, your so overdue.
Great stock trading this week (still one day to go). So, there it is 3 good things in a short period of time. Now, I know three good things are followed by at least a couple bad things, so I'm ready for ya....hit me with your best shot........
So, all in all 11 months of marriage (cost about 50k) not bad....
If you recall, I met her on another dating site, Skyped for 9 months and met in London and brought her back to the USA. Beautiful woman, very intelligent and 17 yrs my junior....who could ask for anything more.....ughh!!!! My words of wisdom......watch out what you wish for.....And I thank the friends I've made here on CS and totally don't like the in fighting....life is too short to fight with people you don't know....save it for the ones you do know.......

Suspicious Deaths Update Lothian
On Monday, October 5, 2015 at approximately 12:56 p.m.., Anne Arundel County Police Southern District officers responded to the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland for an unconscious male lying near a handgun. Upon arrival officers located an adult male subject suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the upper body in the master bedroom. Fire department personnel responded to the scene and later pronounced the male as being deceased. The deceased male was positively identified as Anthony Joseph Anastasi Jr, a forty year old male from the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland.
As patrol officers were conducting their initial investigation, an injured adult female was located in the basement area of the residence. The adult female suffered apparent trauma to her upper body and was also pronounced deceased by medical professionals. The deceased female was positively identified as Jacqueline Irene Riggs, a twenty five year old female from the 600 block of West Bay Front Road, Lothian, Maryland.
Homicide detectives along with technicians from the Evidence Collection Unit responded to the scene searching the area for any items of possible evidentiary value in regards to the death of these two individuals. Several witnesses were located and brought to the Criminal Investigation Division where interviews were conducted.
On Tuesday, October 6, 2015, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner located in Baltimore Maryland performed an autopsy on Mr. Anastasi and Ms. Riggs. Mr. Anastasi’s cause of death was a gunshot wound while the cause of Ms. Riggs’ death was multiple cut/stab wounds.
As detectives sifted through the evidence recovered from the crime scene several items were forensically analyzed. The forensic analysis of several items of recovered evidence did not coincide with what the crime scene depicted. Working in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner the deaths of Ms. Riggs and Mr. Anastasi were both ruled homicides.
Through physical evidence along with witness and suspect interviews homicide detectives were able to piece together the events that led to this double murder. Ann Marie Anastasi was the wife of the victim, Anthony Anastasi, and had been married for eighteen years. Ms. Riggs had been an associate of the family and had been romantically involved with Anthony and Ann Anastasi. During the summer of 2015, Ms. Riggs moved into the basement of their residence located in the 600 block of West Bay Front Road which caused tension within the residence.
Within a short period of time, Ann Anastasi and a thirteen year old juvenile decided to have Mr. Anastasi and Ms. Riggs killed. They enlisted the aid of the thirteen year old’s boyfriend to commit the murders. During the morning of Thursday, October 15, 2015, the Homicide Unit worked with the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office and secured an arrest warrant for Ann Anastasi. During the evening of Thursday, October 15, 2015 Ann Anastasi was taken into custody without incident in the 600 block of West Bay Front Road. She was charged with two counts of First Degree Murder, two counts of Second Degree Murder and the use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony. Ann Anastasi is currently being held at the Anne Arundel County Jennifer Road Detention Center on a no bond status.
The thirteen year old female juvenile was also located where she was taken into custody and charged with two counts of First Degree Murder and also Accessory after the Fact. The juvenile was remanded to the custody of a juvenile detention facility.

Oct. 12, 1963...52 And Aged To Perfection!
The sexiest and hunkiest man for me has turned 52 years old today.
I have so many good wishes for him...good health and happiness among others.
He's in Scotland at the moment, spending his birthday with his very lovely mother . Woke me up with a nice phone call yesterday and sent me lots of beautiful photos. The most special one is a very nice photo of his mother he took when they had lunch earlier. She looks very young for her age, 89 years old...in a year or two he will surely look older than her, unlike him she doesn't have any grey hairs
For my jerk, Love each day!

LOVE YOUR FAMILY
Let's Not Forget the Importance of Family
As per the dictionary definition of a family, all its members live in a common house and are linked together with each other economically. All family members are also emotionally linked and have a strong bond. A family consists of adults of both the sexes who are married to each other and have children.
A recent death in my family, made me realize, that today family values are less important to some people, then they were
Family is where we all belong to and from where our identity comes from.
Family is where from we grow and learn each and everything and this is where we learn the importance of family values in our life. Every child turned out to be a good person is from the basic concept of family and the value given to it.
Family is a bond, a long lasting relationship that holds a bond with each other. It all forms when man and women become one and from there a family is born. There are many values that one has to learn to get the family bonding in the right manner. Bonding does not happen overnight. It forms with every second, every minute that you spend with your loved ones. The understanding, the acceptance, the belonging and the security all enclosed together is how a family bond is formed.
To have parents, who support us, teach us values in life, and gives us a strong foundation in character, teach us the importance of love and being loved, trust to be there for one another and many other morals that could be obtained only from a family
Family does not necessarily mean the parents have all the responsibilities but it expects love and respect from children as well.
The Significance of Family and Kinship One of the most important and essential things Families get togethers crucially communication, flexibility, and unity
Everyone must have in order to live a great and joyful life is family. One must follow values to be successful in life, and one must also support their family to keep that success advancing towards the future.
To be part of a happy family, one should always thank God for the blessing we have in lives, as having a family who cares and loves us is the greatest blessing that any person could get in life.
Families are crucially important to society without doubt
