I'll take that bet........ tell LauraEarl not to let you bet on anything.......... I'll be 45 this November........but my husband just broke 40....lol
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
I wanted to help you understand the pressure he's under living up there with the commies. I have a sister-in-law from Canaduh. I truly hate her. She is a socialist pig (literally) and nobody but my stupid older brother can stand her. Even he admits her politics are faulty. She is always talking about Canaduh's free health care and she loves the Clintons. I always tell her to move back to her wonderful place and take the dang Clintons with her. At family gatherings she is like pee on the campfire. Laura Earl hates her worse than I do. My kids avoid her like the plague. Whut can I say?

Oh! She and I have fairly close birthdays......mine's the 28th - and you know that you and I are cradle robbers........lol
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
Heck I was a hippy before and after USAF. But I wasn't a liberal overall. I hated Kennedy's, Johnson, Carter, and you know who. I believe that sometimes war is the answer like right now. I believe you should work for what you want in life. I believe the government takes too much of what I work for. I'll fight any threat to American security to the death if needed. I love my family and my dog and my friends. And I don't mess with Texas. I guess my hippy side just liked wearing the long hair, beard, and the chicks. I grew up early so I think the hippy thing for me was trying to grab back some of the childhood I missed.
Finally got to know me and I like me alot. I wish I had a few more friends just like me.

I don't judge by years of age I go by maturity. I know your hubby was mature BC I've met few vets who weren't. Laura Earl is extremely mature and has a great head on her shoulders. Plus she's as crazy as me!!
