  28. My response to a 70 year old that has had a wonderful life and doesn't understand why everyone thinks like this. "There is always an exception to the rule. I'm 68 and not an exception. My parents weren't the exception, both my wife's parents were not the exception. Most of my friends parents were not the exception. The few people that were an exception were far and few between. Even many of those exceptions maintained a marriage and were not happy and just endured it. I have known a few beautiful couples that stayed together and spread that down into their bloodline, but even then, somewhere down the bloodline it does strike and the exception rule falls apart. I and many others have our hats off to you sir, but you are an exception. I also wonder when a person loses their spouse, if their relationship was as ideal as they remember it. A loss like that makes the person focus on the good times, whereas a loss due to divorce or infidelity makes the person focus on the bad times. In addition, you were married twice to people that passed away. My heart goes out to you, I would have had a hard time with that myself. But, if your first spouse had lived, we don't know if you two would have made it to the end. Culture plays a big part in how people change as individuals. You were married a second time and again, would that marriage have been so ideal if it spanned a lifetime for you both. Now at 70, you are in a much different frame of mind and physically your desires no doubt have waned some, like most men, so staying married at that age may be much easier. Again, I applaud you and wished everyone was more like you, but I wanted to point out some variables in your life that don't exist in most men's lives."

  41. Ringo Starr did a great song. "No no no I don't need it no more, tired of waking up on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze and then it makes it hard to find the door." I grew up in Hawaii. We had Kanekapili parties in the backyard, barbequing, families getting together, playing music, talking stories and kids running with their friends. The adults spent the night on the picnic tables, drinking, smoking and having so much fun. We watched all that and couldn't wait to get older to drink and have that fun, but we began earlier, sneaking beers and liquor. Later in the evening, drunken adults got obnoxious and unruly. Saying or doing things that weren't acceptable or stuff they would normally do. Lots of time by the late night and early morning, the heavies got into arguments, which helped the party end, many times badly and police coming. Later over the years, the same parties shifted, the uncles and siblings older than us, maybe in their 20's began the party with a few drinks and then switched to drugs. This really changed the dynamic of the parties. Kids running around to now seeing drunks and druggies for their role models. Eventually, while alcohol was still there, stuff like heroin and meth came in the scene. Before long, most families were broken as the parents were hauled off to prison terms if lucky and dead if not. Now parentless kids were being raised by older parents or grandparents, some, if not many, alcoholics themselves. I think kids today do show signs of waking up to being just normal and actually living. I'm 67, quit drinking and drugging awhile ago. When I say drugging, I include prescription medicines. I am in better health, mentally and physically than I ever have been. I got sick of knowing my kids had to see me like that and swore my grandkids wouldn't know that man. I love the man, grandpa I am today. Single, working on cars, raising animals on a small Virginia farm and being a role model to my grandkids. Big business used the power of the media to sell us all down the crapper. The media can influence everyone, especially the children. Just look at what kids are being sold now. Being gay isn't just happy anymore. There is no way to describe gender properly anymore. Sexes trying to become other genders. It's a new set of problems 😢 and so sad for the latest generations.
