It's too easy these days to use temporary insanity, any medical condition,, even P.M.S., as an excuse to get away with murder etc.
Some times I wonder if a person, stops taking meds, or has pre planned what they are going to do? For example, take something like booze to make it look like they are drunk, or high... so later on they can use that as an excuse.
How do you feel about someone using the "I was abused .... " excuse? JMO... not everyone that was abused turns out to be an abuser, and some people never abused, turn into abusers.
My heart goes out to the young lady who was burned. If she survives, she will not only have to deal with her internal scares but will have to handle the burn treatments.
You don't even have to be a mother to enjoy this one...
Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Jennifer than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.'
About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?'
Brian said, 'Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote: ___________________________________________________________
Dear Mom,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian ___________________________________________________________
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read: ___________________________________________________________
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
It's my personal choice... to now date guys the same age as my kids...
I just feel I have more in common with some one my age.... does not mean I am not open to someone with in the 10 yr age range.... younger or older... it has not happened. If someone did show interest and we clicked and there was a good relationship... who knows.
Sorry au natural.... is what I am.... sags wags, and wrinkles.... only thing not natural is the hair color.... getting a job with all white hair gives the wrong impression to 23 yr olds interviewing you.
Friends of mine are a great couple. A couple people could take lessons from. The friend that decided these two should meet was not told about age being a problem.
When he met her, she was a widow with 4 teen aged children. JMO, most guys would run in a situation like this.
They have been married for over 17 yrs now. Her children call him Papa .. the grandchildren love their Grandpa.
This couple also have the same colored white hair, give each other that look and smile at each other. He is 11 yrs younger than she is. He did not view her as an older women with 4 kids.... he saw her as a beautiful woman from the start. He did not run away.
The age difference was never a problem for either one of them. They hold hands everwhere.... and whenever we were at a dinner or dance/party and one of them was across the room or even just across the table, they had this little sign they gave to each other. It's their sign for I love you.
It might sound like a silly fairy tale, but they have been through lots regarding raising 4 teens, health issues, death of a child, etc., but have stuck be each other, and still can give that smile and look to each other.
So if I could, I would love to have what they have.... still have that "I'm in love with you" smile at the end of the day, no matter what life has thrown at us, and strong enough to stay and support each other through all of it. Still want to hold hands....
By some of today's standards, and from what I have seen on some profiles, this couple might not have met if it they had the feeling that age was a problem. (JMO)
12fox, Have to pay you a compliment. Looked at your profile and the photos. you are a very beautiful lady!!!! Your eyes say a lot. If some males can not see that, they are stupid and need one good kick in the betootie......
We come here to have fun, and if others join in, even better..... for the most part we try to poke fun at our selves.... and Brew, because hell, it's too easy to make fun of him and he loves the attention. We just hope it's not at any one's expense or to hurt their feelings.
Welcome to the group, Sit back enjoy..... make friends, and if you meet someone special even better.
If you keep telling Brew he is a sick puppy.... he'll love it.
I was born in London England, and my parents are from Ireland. Back in the day, when the kids turned a certain age, they went off to England to work and send money home. My parents met in England, married there, and its where I was born.
They definately broke the mold when they made you Brew.... That makes you UNIQUE...... crap did I just say that....... now he will walk around with a swelled ego...... thank goodness I did not say ..... swelled..h..d.
HUSBAND'S LETTER A husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining room table:
'To My Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you, and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter I hope you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.
Please don't be upset - I shall be back home before midnight.'
When the man came home late that night he found the following letter on the dining room table:
'To My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old. As you k now, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you're at the Comfort Inn, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, he is 18 years old. As a successful businessman with an excellent knowledge of math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference; 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.
