As a historian, you should know that more than anyone.

Right back at you.

You sound kind of young. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I'm not dictating anymore than you are, I'm just giving my opinion. I'm a fan of family, not everyone is, but I still don't understand it.

I agree, but weddings and other family/life affirmations should be appropriate.

I love you.

The point of my post was that I was welcomed to "adult situations" and I was able to cope with them.

Get over it. Kids are not judging you, you're projecting your judgment on them.

Wow. So angry.

There is a special kind of self-loathing that comes from an intolerance of children.

I'm an old person, and I continue to be amazed at the kid-intolerance demonstrated by the youngsters today.

Fortunately for you, you've gotten lots of options/propositions here. I hope you make it to the Promised Land!

It's not that easy. I looked into it when bush 2 was elected.

This was my exact response to this post.

My niece and her kitten just left this morning. I have a kitten the same age and they've been playing like crazy for the last week.

That made me giggle. Too many vodka sodas for me.

I'm very happy for both of you. Truly.

Those poor overbred mutant puppies make me sad.

Truth.

In my experience, it goes at about the same rate as the hair on your head.
