another sob story about the mean ol’wumon.......poor thing...
you sound like my husband.......stable, sturdy type of guy.......the kind you love for a lifetime...
I seem to recall Dr. Laura several years ago saying she loved riding a motorcycle, but she had given it up while she had a minor child because it was too risky. I think she said that once her son reached a certain age, she was going to take it up again.
When the final epitaph is written for the end of western civilization it will be noted that people like Lori Gottlieb and Gloria Steinum are most responsible for it. A few others are about 30-40 million educated idiot white women between the ages of about 65 right down to todays teenagers. The next group of people are what I call the super idiots-the types who watch Oprah and think that she has something to say. I know about two dozen of these types of women and I would rather spend my time my Labradors then these women. My Labs are smarter, more loyal, have better dispositions, and take less maintenance.
Outstanding Baynative! I live in Bay Area too and have noticed the same thing. You really hit the nail on the head.
No disagreement from me.
Any man who chooses toys over family is still a kid. Run away, as fast as you can.
I don't disagree, but I'm not talking about consumerism, keeping up with the joneses, or validation.
I'm talking about joy, happiness. Not the temporary validation that comes from buying stuff or impressing the neighbors, but an outlet that relieves stress and provides lasting enjoyment.
And I can relate to comments on what's really important, but that perspective continually adjusts as you move through life.
