That's ok. There are plenty of 30 somethings that wouldn't mind dating a 21 year old.
But I'm not looking to have a family until I'm 28 or so. That kinda makes a difference, doesn't it?
Plus I have enough trouble understanding the cultural background of someone my age. Add in an extra decade of culture I know nothing about and communication gets even harder... I mean, you guys all laugh every time someone dies and I say "Who's that?", I don't guess it'd be much easier in rl.
Oh, yeah, and I don't want my father to have to kill anyone.
I haven't met any unmarried thirtysomethings that I wouldn't mind dating.
I figure now is the only window re leaving, since roads will get too crowede in a couple days.
If your not really a 'mainstream' culture kinda person then that is not as much of a factor. A common outlook and common values are much more critical and harder to find. 2J is right, Early/mid twenties guys have hardly grown up yet.
Keep us informed, if you can! Where are you heading?
Isn't it heading toward LCS in that picture?
Yep.
Virginia, probably.
Well, like I say, I still have my prayer map on the fridge...
I love to hear that!
Kerry accepted a Remington 11-87 from the union at Remington Arms. It would be illegal for a mere mortal to possess that "assault weapon" under the expanded "assault weapon" bill that Kerry has supported. The least Kerry could have done was lock the bolt back before flourishing the shotgun for the cameras. Maybe he got his gun safety course from Al Gore.
I'd pay good money to see Kerry crawling around in the mud, hunting deer with his $20K Purdy double barrel shotgun.
It's also illogical. Why, all of a sudden, do we need a draft to get the military back to a size that was easily maintained by volunteers in the past?
The only rational explanation for this to be remotely true is that the military, which was quietly downsized 40% during the "golden years" of the Clintons, really is too small to handle the major-war-and-a-brushfire that is still the official mission statement on the books. During those same klintonian "golden years", the industrial base upon which the military depends shrank, too. There are no armored vehicles, combat aircraft, or small arms in the pipeline to equip a bigger military, draft or no draft.
The truth-that-dare-not-speak-its-name is that the klintons may have shrunk the military so far that increasing its size is unthinkable, and certainly unmentionable. Instead we have a phony "debate" on bringing back the draft as a diversion from the real problem.
Klintonism, the gift that just keeps on giving.
Safe journey, friend.
Please keep your cell phone charged, so I can call and give you the "all clear", OK?
Yeah, I'll keep it charged.
If I get to VA, it's rural enough where I'm headed that cell phones don't work there.
Talk to you when I get back, for sure, though.
Stay safe, Ruthy, good luck.
I'm assuming the thing will probably miss Miami, but it's getting too close for comfort.
Been through 3 of these things, decided not to make it 4.
SSQ is not a cookie fan! ;o)
Ooooh...
Ok.
Thought about that after I had that blinding idea.
(grinning sheepishly)
Would you please send me a copy of it? I'll freepmail my e-mail addy!
Precious?
