@Yorick What makes you such a nice person?

What do you think of someone who admits they made a mistake?

I think you're right. It shows strength, character, power and confidence in self, to admit when you're wrong.

I knew I'd go grey.

Just wait til ALL your body hairs go grey.

I had a life long burning question answered recently (accidentally) when I was living in close quarters to my Grandma...

;)

I saw my first grays when I was 23, right before I got married to my first husb. It was only a couple hairs and it took a long time to get more than that. But I did get more and now if I don't dye my hair (which I do fairly regularly), I'm sort of "salt and peppery," with more pepper than salt, thankfully. Maybe 3 to 1. But when I was at the hairdresser's, she told me that the texture of my hair is changing. That means it's going from the (annoying) baby fine (few) wisps I've had all my life to the coarser, curlier grays....

I'm with the Doc. It's better to just not look too often. Good thing my vision is going, too, and I need glasses. (I don't wear them). My lines look softer and my hair looks nice when I can't see it...

I will also agree that having a face that looks happy and shows laugh lines over the years is optimal.

After nearly 20 years, 4 kids, and TONS of frustration on my part, my husband has said that we should divorce.

And...thank you all for your care and concern.

I will not be here much; I feel like working on the marriage and family is best

@Sherlock I agree. Cops have higher incidences of divorce, alcoholism and suicide. So I guess this rough patch maybe "goes with the territory?"

He's looking into using his GI Bill...or whatever it is called for military guys to go to college. It seems as if he is eligible for a set amount, whether college costs that much or not. So he's going to take a financial planning class (or a few classes) in the summer hopefully and use his military award money. He is then going to apply to work at a bank or other financial institution. He has an MBA but he got it in the 1990's, so he feels like he won't be hired somewhere without taking the class(es).

The thing is: he's always bemoaned getting an MBA and not working at a job where it was needed or even appreciated. So this will be a good thing for him to do. I think it will make him happy.

I'm writing a book, picking up more kids to tutor versus babysitting (tutoring pays far more than babysitting) and thinking about working somewhere soon....just that part of being a stay at home parents helps with so many things: our son had his first heartbreak, after a couple weeks of arguing with his first serious girlfriend...it's great to be home and be there for him. My daughter is trying out at dance studios all over, to get into a dance intensive this summer...it's great to be able to take her to these things and be there for her. So, again, going to work FT will damage our family life...I'm going to try to find something PT.

We also did go ahead with buying the new house (IDK how smart that is, but we decided to do it). So we are moving. We close on March 4th, but don't need to actually be out of the house we're in until April 15, so we have LOTS of time to move, which will make it far less stressful than it would otherwise be....

Yeah, a vaca would be awesome. I need one. I feel completely stressed out and tired lately!

We are working on things. We haven't gotten divorced. He got the paperwork, but hasn't filed it.

@Nix...can't raise the rent until time for contract renewals in August. Then we will for sure.

Do married people fall in love with another person easily?

DocteurRalph wrote:
Sure people can fall in love at any time. Of course if you are already married and especially if you have children you just walk away. I mean you made your choice is your life really going to be better shuffling your kids around and dealing with an ex and dividing up friends and property just so you can be with someone else? I mean aren't you going to meet another person that you fall in love with again after the second marriage?

Being married is not easy, there are going to be days when you wake up and hate everything about everybody. Then you see some stranger eyeing you and by golly why not give life a try with that person? A week later you realize you hate them more than you ever did the people you were with before.

I guess it's not that big of a deal if you don't have kids. If you do and you act on these feelings of love every time you are attracted to someone then you are just a selfish asshole. Your kids don't want two moms or dads or stepbrothers or sisters or whatever... hell that's half the problem with the world is that there are very few children being raised by their real mom and dad who inherently love them. I mean I would die for my children, most people would. Step kids, ehhhh maybe.

I just read a psychology report that said that girls are having their periods at a younger age because it is a defense mechanism their bodies have to get away from unsafe environments. Unsafe environments like no man in the house, or a man in the house that is not their father, things that are ingrained in our being. It effects us physically...

And it's the age old feelings vs facts syndrome and I think it manifests itself in government too. Liberals try to do what makes everyone feel good at any given time and conservatives do what they think will give them the best outcome in the long run. That's what I think.

100% agree

Nobody else is going to start a post, looks like I'll have to talk to myself.

I'm sorry you had to go through all that, Doc. I do agree that people who are on drugs need help versus being "thrown away." They have issues to work through.

I also agree that weed isn't necessarily a bad thing if used responsibly, just like alcohol. I rarely drink and I haven't smoked weed since college, but I have a friend who beat breast cancer and went through chemo. She used CBD or had a doobie once in a while for stress, to stimulate appetite, and to relax/relieve pain.

As for the motorized bicycles: I've seen them ridden by tons of people in town and they look like they are a blast to ride, but they are loud.
