My family and I were very involved in nursing home ministries in New York City back in the 90’s. What you said about alone and dying in a nursing home could not be more true.
My young children walking among them and talking to them was, and I know how to use this word, literally a life giving moment for the residents. Eyes would start to shine, voices would start to be used, and people who had not moved from a wheelchair in months would find the strength to go to where the kids were.

Progressives slime everything they touch.
Everything.
Best advise is to send everything they think, say and write through an inverter.

I proposed over the phone.
My romantic skills have improved. But I sure set the bar low. Ive exceeded that every day since.

....doesn’t reflect the kind of modern, egalitarian relationships many women want today.Attention men: If you find a woman who wants a "modern, egalitarian relationship"; do yourself a favor and DON'T pop the question.

My one regret is that I didnt do so. We e been married 33 years and I just realized it when my daughters fiancés asked me. Looking back, it was arrogant and thoughtless of me.

lol.
Nowadays you would not do that. You would send her a text.

And dont forget Miss Havishams boyfriend refusing to honor his proposal!
He was on his way. Heck, she was still in her wedding gown!
I got my nine-year old son to watch Great Expectations by selling it as creepy, and then described Miss Havisham. Then, in the BBC version we saw, they got her all wrong! First, Gillian Anderson interpreted the role all wrong, too much of the wisp. Second, the book makes it clear that MIss Havisham had only one show on, as if she got the news while dressing. The Anderson version had her wearing both shoes. One shoe is MUCH more jarring.
My son wound up being okay with it despite these and other weaknesses.

Try the brilliant David Lean version. Of course, your boy probably doesn’t like black and white. Most kids don’t.

“Sounds like SOMEbody is upset about not being proposed to.”......
You don’t have to ask yourself “why” she hasen’t been asked, it’s pretty obvious..

He prefers color, but he gets a fair amount of black and white. He liked the old Green Hornet serial movies from the '40s. Not exactly Dickens, though.

This is how it’s done, biytch. The man pays for dates, opens doors, protects the woman, proposes, earns money to support his family.
