” She’s the last one of my grown kids who thought her parents train had ran off the track.(senility setting in) lol “

Just had a curious thought — what’s the demographics of this thread??

I’m willing to bet that the majority of us are of the pre-nanny-state generation...

I’ll start: 59 YO/ divorced, but still friendly with the (last) ex/as I previously mentioned, urban apartment dweller/not particularly high-paid hourly worker - retail.

You're probably correct.

I'm 47, married with a 9 year old. We live in a rural comunity near the beach and have 2 acres. Our tilled field is about 1/2 acre and we'll start planting this week.

If I had started a couple years sooner, you could be my son.

You should never ask a lady what her age is.

She will just lie to you anyway.

LOL

75 and hubby 80-still going strong. Married too many years to mention-before most of you were even born. We cut, split and stack in woodshed 5 to7 cords of wood every year and have large vegetable and flower gardens. Keep all the younger neighbors supplied with veggies and flowers as well as our five children.
