Iโ€™ve been stuck here for such a long time I donโ€™t think I will ever get out.

That's like the main problem in America now too. They call it "failure to launch". Yeah it has it's own name. Rent is sooo high and wages are sooo low that kid can't get out from under their parent's roofs. I should know I have three middle aged men living in my house, two of whom are my sons and the other is one of their friends who I just took in because he needed help. They are all three gone right now pooling their resources and looking for someplace else to live.

And really in my situation I'm not sure I want an empty nest. My wife claims she lives in a men's dormitory and bitches a lot about it but I enjoy having people around I always have and I always will. If they move out there will be three empty bedrooms and a big empty house with just me and my wife... hmm. They hate the stigma of living with their parent's and I can certainly see that. I moved out when I was 18 but it was a whole lot easier. TV was free, rent was cheap, and still employer's paid about the same as they do now. In 1980 I was making $10 an hour and a lot of people can't do that now. It's sad all over. Welcome to the global economy we will all be eating rice when the Chinese take over.

Her dad was invited, he chose not to come after the paparazzi debacle.

Honestly, I haven't really taken to her yet. I dont think theyre a match, she seems like a loud limelight kinda person and hes much more reserved. I feel like shes on the red carpet everytime I see them on tv. Plus shes kinda old, a divorce and not upper class.

TBH I'm still not a huge fan of Kate either.

I like the Queen, not much of a fan of the rest of them. Apparently the wedding is even bigger stateside than it is here.e he's 6th in line to the throne now so it doesnt really matter.

Glad I got a reaction out of someone from the UK, that's what I was looking for. Thanks Nix. And I can fight my own fights big alone, but yeah I like what you say!

What song do you have stuck in your head?

I have Eddie Van Halen's rendition of an old Kinks classic running through my mind a lot too. Senior in high school when this one came out, funny how gay Dave looks now. I don't remember him looking that way 40 years ago but he did. Nobody will ever hit as many notes on a guitar as Ed did, he changed the way people looked at guitars.

You know Chrissie Hynde had Ray Davies daughter. Ray Davies and his brother Dave Davies are the Kinks. I was 5 years old when this was recorded and it was very clear the world was changing fast. The 50's and Elvis were old school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DV-5d6a5g

And she's a yankee too. Everyone I know that has spent much time abroad says there is a tremendous amount of hate or racism against Americans almost worldwide... can't imagine why. lol

Post closed, thank you for your help

I went to two schools, one was k-6 and the second was 7-12.. the 7th and 8th graders were upstairs away from the older kids at the second school and ate lunch at a separate time and everything. They did a good job of keeping 18 year old boys away from 12 year old girls. But yeah it was a junior and senior high school and the junior high school was the upstairs part for 7th and 8th grade. I always considered that there were 4 years of high school. Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior... your husband's wrong but you already knew that. ha ha ha

He does have a valid point though. In the nearest real city to where I grew up they had "middle schools" that were 7th 8th and 9th, and the two high schools only had sophomores, juniors, and seniors... so it was kind of like that in my city too.
