<t>Quite an emotional roller-coaster. Our little dog went from being reasonably normal to barely able to move and not being able to eat anything since Sunday. Had her on IV and massive amounts of anti-biotics at the animal hospital but she wasn't improving. She was only semi-coherent. If I left her ...

Can't seem to delete. Will move to a more appropriate heading.

John Lennon is one of my favorites, but "Watching the Wheels" is not at the classic rock caliber of Satisfaction.

Satisfaction.

<t>I don't think anyone has explained how life without money would work. (With the possible exception of the barter system which uses services or products as a means of exchange.) Would everything be free? What if someone worked twice as hard as someone else? Would they still have access to the same ...

Hard to compete with the Beatles. Let it Be.

A tough call - Watching the Wheels.

Wonderful tonight.

I like Eric but I have to got with Stairway to Heaven.

It's pretty hard to compete with the Beatles. Let it be.

An easy one for me. Satisfaction.

<t>Part of the reason I like posting these types of questions on a forum rather than asking someone in person is that someone in person will probably give me the answer they think I want to hear. So I honestly appreciate the feedback. <br/>

I'm not against anyone keeping anything that they ...

<t>The china cabinet is fairly tidy. It just gets messy when excess mail and papers get stored in there. I wonder if some of you may be misunderstanding me - the only thing that I threw out was papers - mostly Christmas cards and old school correspondence (not report cards). And it was in a recycle ...

It's funny that you should say that ...

<t>My wife have also been considering a vacation to Barcelona. However, some people have been telling us that the crime rate has increased considerably. Others say that it is not a problem and just like any big city, you just have to be aware of your surroundings. Is crime in Barcelona worse than ...

<t>I don't know if any of you have read the book "Your Money or Your Life" but it has an interesting take on possessions. The authors basically say that possessions bring us pleasure until we reach the point of what they call "enough". After that point possessions have a negative effect on pleasure ...

<t>Thanks for all the helpful advice and the friendly welcomes. I think my wife has calmed down and I have too.<br/>

I believe that my wife is a bit of a hoarder - not anywhere near like those TV shows. However, we have 30 years of income tax and other files such as letters, a closet full of ...

<t>I'm not a churchgoer but I try to keep a sense of spirituality. For me, a true sense of spirituality is accepting people to the fullest extent possible rather than judging and criticizing those who follow a different religion or lifestyle. In fact, that seemed to be the example that Jesus set ...

<t>I'm not sure if you are saying that a fellow only has control over a workshop or garage and has no say over the rest of the house. These things have come up in the past but now that the children are almost all adults, I am at the point where I figure we deserve to have a little more order. I don ...

<t>I don't know if this is an unusual problem or not. The biggest thing my wife and I argue about is tidying the house - the problem is not that I don't do it but that I do.<br/>
<br/>
We just had such an argument. The dining room table and china cabinet had become storage magnets. About a 2 months ...

Thanks for the welcomes. Likes/interests - travel, language study, physical fitness, kayaking, investing. I don't mind the odd criticism regarding grammar. I don't give much grammar advice myself, but I do sometimes think I know about everything else. (Probably a guy thing.)

<t>I've been reading through this thread and can definitely relate. I think part of the problem is that unless someone is unusually attractive, or has a very outgoing personality you become somewhat "invisible" after sometime around the 40s. It's a common complaint amongst women but it happens to ...

Hi,

I decided to join. Need some advice from time to time and willing to try to help others as well. I'm mid-50s, married, with 2 adult children and one still in high school.
