How Old is Grandpa?

I worry, too. You look at older movies and see the respect shown to women and children. Now it's totally different. Men who don't know you hardly ever offer their seat to you and if they do, you can tell, it's usually not sincere. If you start to sit down and a young kid can beat you to the seat, it's their gain and your loss. You're old and stupid for moving so slow. It's disgusting. I get very frustrated in parking lots and at gas stations, too.

People as a whole have no respect for themselves or for you.

It is not like this in Europe. I was amazed, but they are much kinder to each other, even in the larger cities. Europe is a kinder gentler place, over all. It's like they have a social maturity that American's lack. Perhaps it's the blending of so many diverse cultures over here. Though Europe is pretty diverse as well. And they are not supposed to like Americans. Strange how polite they were to people they don't like. (Except in France. They realllly don't like us!!)

You don't find kids with manners too much anymore but, my daughter, Jaci, started dating a couple of weeks ago and I was so tickled that the young man was opening doors for her!!! She finally told him that she could get her own pickup door!!! I'm glad to have someone that treats my daughter special!!

My daughter, Dae Lynn, has dated some that have left her to pay for the food that they ordered! She's still looking for that someone special! Any one know a guy about 25 years old, that's a really good Christian looking for a really wonderful Christian girl? Have them contact me!!!!!

Diana, I wish she lived near me!
I do know a wonderful Christian man, 29 yrs old and wanting to find a decent woman to fall in love with and settle down. He just happens to be my God-son, so I've known him his whole life. I wouldn't be afraid to let one of my daughters go out with him... he's just a really nice guy. She wouldn't want to move to Wisconsin would she? lol

He's a wee bit on the shy side, so has trouble meeting nice girls as they aren't usually the ones who will come up to him and start a conversation and he finds it hard to initiate one on his own. lol

He sounds like my 17 year old Tink. I keep trying to push him a bit, but he's not budging...kind of on the shy side.

I don't think that she'd want to move quite that far. She's pretty much a mama and daddy's girl. I think that she needs someone who's a little bit out going because she has a quiet and shy side too. We live in such a small town that it's been really hard to find someone to date. She's dated a couple of guys fairly seriously but they've turned out to be huge, and I mean huge, jerks! I just know that there are nice, Christian guys that are looking for nice, Christian girls somewhere.

If you mention this to him and he's interested in e-mailing her, let me know and I'll get her e-mail and send it to him. Who knows she might like Wisconsin!!!

A Lady never gives her age away

let's just say that I was born two weeks after this guy.

Did I say that out loud? Are we playing the answer a question with a question game? Do I know the difference between a squash and a thong? Do I wear flip-flops?

Do I have tears running down my face from reading all your funny threads? Do I need to get a Life????

Thanks for the memories Kat! I'm 61 and love that I remember the different things that happened during the past 60 years of the evolution of society.

I don't like the values right now, but I do like the people I know in their late 20's, early 30's. There is definitely hope for the future.
