I do understand that as people age they start seeing things through rose colored brown colored glasses........but this is ridiculous....

I have noticed there is always a hard edge to the comments you make especially when interacting with the ladies. I often wondered if you feel confident with them or you just use boorishness to cover your inadequacy or fear of relating with them in a civilized manner. Perhaps you believe that is how real men are supposed to behave.
That belief is dangerous for a personality such as yours that soaks up authoritarianism - you would never break the rules, as you perceive them, it is against your nature.
I must now say Goodnight to you and all the DDers, I will read your response in the morning.
Let me leave you with a picture of the Castle in Segovia to enchant you. :)

Ahem, Gentlemen, you two play nice :) Don’t make me hafta come getcha.
