wow!I would never go with a 43 man!  * laughing out loud *
maybe I'd do if he was my perfect sou lmate but that's the only case!And BTW I like them younger than me or younger looking  * wink * (not younger looking than me since I look about 13 without make-up and scarcely 16 otherwise..younger looking than their real age.)

Yak, I like them much older...but thirty-five is where I draw the line.

It's so weird thinking from your perspective. I can't imagine dating someone younger  * raspberry *

This is totally off subject, but I was just reading a pet magazine at work today that told about a company (Cuiffogatto) located in Turin and I thought, "Wow! That's where dora is from!" I'd never heard of Turin before you mentioned living there, and now I hear of it again so soon.  * smile *

As I suspected, if you check the advanced stats, the younger people tend to have older parents and the older people tend to have younger parents (relatively). I've seen statistics on this. 100 years ago, women got married much younger, and the age difference between spouses was greater. Since then, women have been marrying later and later. Men too, but more gradually. Now the average age difference is only a couple of years.

If you date someone younger than you, you would be a pervert!  * laughing out loud *

I'm not sure - 25-30 I think. They lived together for a year or two before they got married, so they never even remember how long they have been!

They were 18 and 19, and had been dating for two years.

Hmmm...I have heard of it, but I don't know what or where it is. Are you gonna tell me, or do I have to look it up? *she asked lazily*  * smile *

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you just find out recently? That must seem really strange. It may not be as hard on you as it would have been if you still lived with them, but I imagine it would still not be easy. Are you okay?

Jesus, death shroud, photo negative life-size image of The Big J.C. on it, people have been trying for decades to find out if it's real or an elaborate hoax. The Discovery Channel does specials on it every so often.

They've been separated since January, and the separation was coming for a few months before that. Mom decided she wanted a divorce a few months ago. The really hard part is that my father's a big wreck and has been relying on me a lot for emotional support. It's hard to stay out of the middle. I'm doing OK. The divorce itself doesn't bother me as much as the fact that it's really hurting my father to go through this.

Oh-oh-oh!!! Yeah! Thank you! I have seen something about that on TV where they were discussing whether or not it is authentic. I guess I didn't realize it was named after a city in Italy...I never really thought about why it is called the Shroud of Turin. That must be where it was found then?

That's a bummer. You and your dad are pretty close, aren't you? I hope he comes to terms with it soon.

Yeah, I'm Daddy's little girl. He's doing much better, although he's still pretty upset. He's able to let other things distract him now, at least.
