I was first married in 1962. You are so right about the way things changed. As I remember right, it actually started in the 60's. Another thing that started big time back then was LSD and many different kinds of uppers and downers (as they called them).Another big one was psycology. They started infuencing alot of people. They were actually brainwashing, especially young women. Then there was the womens lib. Oh yes, equal pay for equal work. Not many men were out of work back then but soon were and some probably decided why not let her support me and I'll stay with the kids. Women started getting too independant and I think it was a womans downfall when she went to work, because she started throwing it in the mans face--"I can make my own money and buy what I want" They lost respect for their husbands and the male ego was really shot down. The man is suppose to be the head of the house. Not the woman. It's in the Bible, but now even the Bible is getting doubted and God is left out of most everything. Americans--we will pay and pay dearly. It's already started, can't you see it? Better read and study the Bible. If we are ashamed of the Gospel of Christ and deny Him who died for our sins and paid the price we could never pay. He says, He will deny us before His father. Read and study. Three minutes after someone goes to hell, they will be sorry and there will be no more chances. We have now to get ready. Don't procrastinate.
Just a suggestion but I would advise you to get the teeth. Girls probably would be emarrased to be seen in public with you. Don't it bother you also? I think you are expecting more than you should be from a young girl who doesn't know you from Adam and doesn't know how good a man you are. Just put the shoe on the other foot. Besides, you should know better than me that men are very visual. Don't you think women might be also? Especially in your age bracket. Give it a try. You can get used to dentures even though they will never be as good as your own. Plus you need to chew your food as much as possible so your stomack doesn't have to do all the work. From a Granny.
I sincerely hope your loved ones are alright. let us know, Ok? People do care but some have to avoid sad and bad things because they don't know what to say. Loss comes to all of us sometime or other. I do hope this hasn't happened to you now. A child is very hard to lose. My sister has lost 2 of her sons. One was almost 4 yrs. old of Luekemia, and the other was 32, killed in auto accident. One of mine was 18 and drinking with friends and allowed one of them to drive his car. They hit another car head on going 100 MPH 2 young girls were in that car--all 5 from both cars were killed. All the boys were drinking. I always pray for all our loved ones and try to ask for Gods will to be done (as He does know best). The Bible says "Blessed are they who grieve, for they shall be comforted". Time is the only thing that helps but the loss and pain never really go away. I believe it does make a person care about about others more and all the suffering that is in this world. God is a just God and He does not see things the way we do. We have to live by faith in Him and trust that He knows best. There is comfort in that. God bless you and I do hope all is well with you and your family. Love each and every one of them and let them always know it. Never let the sun go down being angry. Even if you have to be the one to eat the crow. Believe me, growing up--I have eaten alot of crow, but I'm not sorry for it. Sincerely, Pat
I will join you all in your complaint about being lonely and not happy about it. I got on this site because I thought I might meet someone. It's not happening for me either. I am wondering why people say they want to meet and date and then they won't even call you if you put your phone number on here. Maybe they just want to complain to someone but don't want to put out any effort into a meeting for a cup of coffee or a coke and a good conversation. In my day--the man usually asked the lady out and he would be the one to call. It was not very proper for the lady or girl to call a man or boy. Now I don't know what to do. I tried going to church and no one seems interested in wanting to get to know me. I am a very friendly person and I will stick my neck out and make the first attempt to make a friend, but I don;t care for the rejection at all. I wish you all the best. You are mostly alot younger than I am so maybe you have alot more chances at starting your lives again. I feel like mine is falling into a sink hole. Patsy1945
I know you must be young, therefor I understand where you are comming from. I raised two sons. Learned alot from them. Some things are only learned with age. For some of us "alot of age"! There is a poem I heard from someone very famous but I cannot remember who wrote it, it foes something like this: "Come and grow old with me, the best is yet to come". As I am a widow now I believe it is good for me to share with young people even knowing some won't listen at this time. Love is not lust, although you can lust after your love. Age and time spent together, learning from each other and being there for each other in good times and in the bad. Still loveing them even after death.
Without a second thought, I agree whole heartedly! Beauty or looks are only skin deep and fade with age but the soul gets richer and is for eternity. Looks or money cannot buy love but it does get lust. Not a keeper. Patsy1945
