Einstein was considered to be "slow" when he was young.
A child learns from all sources, not just having been birthed by his mother. And also, kind of funny, that you feel it is only a female's DNA that produces intelligent children, guess males have no part in it...
Not a guy but I would wonder why the person would say "I love you" after so short a time and ask them if they have some co-dependency issues or other issues that they need to discuss....
When they start with their "I'm not really following you but I am following you" routine, I start asking them questions that tend to fluster them, such as "Do you feel that the relations are strained between the Dust Bunny Litigation Society and the Free All Dust Club members?"
I would much rather hear "Have a Nice Day" said in a monotone rather than someone forcing their fake chirpy little selves on me and following me around a store because they think I'm going to shoplift.
I don't know if it classifies as bad manners or not having been taught any etiquette but individuals chewing food with their mouths wide open is pretty disgusting...
There will always be a part of me that lives on, just as there will always be a part of my ancestors that will live on. The world will continue and somehow, I will always see its beauty.
I never smoked in my home when I was raising my children, (having quit and resumed smoking several times, quit this past summer and started up again), nor have I ever smoked around my grand-babies.
Smoking in the home is unhealthy not only for the non-smokers but the smoker, animals, plants, etc., it also makes the house smell and walls and furniture become discolored.
I truly wish that I could work to live or even live to work. Unemployed for 2+ yrs, no income save small student stipends, no savings (gone through) and no assistance.
It is almost as if looking for gainful employment is a full time job for me, along with attending school. I wake up every morning hoping that I will receive a call or a letter offering me employment and I go to sleep each night wondering if I will ever find employment and wondering what the future holds.
None of that was said to gain sympathy, I am very grateful for the little I do have and I strive to stay positive but sometimes I do wake up from horrific dreams regarding the future and wonder if I will ever be in a position to command my own life again.
I agree with you Jan that sometimes at a certain point in life, people come together for the security factor. I hear my own mother talk about finding someone who will take care of her and I hear some acquaintances talk about how they need someone who is financially secure to take care of them, it's sort of scary. I hope that I never fall into that trap.
I like the scammers who send me mail. It always cracks me up when they write that my profile caught their and they are so happy to find a woman who is so well-written and wants so much out of life!

RE: The future
Free love? Or free diseases? The 60's were kind of a mixed up era....
