    Iran plans to knock out U.S. with 1 nuclear bomb.

    I think even Putin of Russia is warning Iran now.

    Class Reunions

    I'm reminded of 2 episodes of the Andy Griffith Show where high school reunions are portrayed. In both reunions, Barney is crushed, first by Ramona Wiley, then by Thelma Lou. In the first one, Andy rekindles a romance with Sharon DeSpain (but later in the episode they remember what caused them...

    Class Reunions

    Thanks for the response. This one is supposed to be a Friday to Sunday weekend event. In 1978, it was a small senior class of 72 students in a small high school in a small town. The reunion would be all the classes prior to 1980, so it would be 40-somethings and up. In contrast, I had moved...

    Class Reunions

    I just received an invitation to my high school class reunion. It will be a combined class reunion for all classes prior to 1980. How many here have been to class reunions and what are your experiences with them? Particularly for single vs. married vs. divorced classmates, what kind of...

    What would you think?

    This would be great news, as it would be just the type of "qualifications" I would be looking for in a woman. No baggage and no past entanglements would be the ideal relationship.

    Which would you rather be- a divorced single or never married?

    I would rather by "never married", because of the flexibility and independence. Of course, everyone's responses are largely based on their own situtation. It would be surprising to find someone "never married" to pick "divorced single", for they would be entering into marriage vows...

    How many past 50 have hope of finding love again?

    There's probably more eligible people around than you think there is. It would be interesting to know the statisitics involved, of how many singles there are by age group, particularly in the older ages. I would guess that the percentages are much greater today than a generation ago.

    Do you get tired of meeting people?

    Yes, sometimes I lose track on what I've said and the questions that have been asked and answered. I guess it's a good idea to keep notes handy so don't you get mixed up. After a while, and if you are really interested in the person, you shouldn't need the notes! As far as the...

    You Know Your Getting Old When:

    Looking more closely at my alumni directory, all are deceased prior to the Class of 1928. In the Class of 1928...1 of 26 still living. She would probably be about 97 years old. Of the Class of 1945, 6 out of 14 are still living. They would be about 80.

    You Know Your Getting Old When:

    You know you're getting old when more and more of your former classmates from way back in high school and college are deceased. I just got the latest alumni directory from my college which goes back to the Class of 1908. Almost all the names in the early classes have an asterisk by their name...

    How many of you have gray hair?

    I've looked at the Grecian Formula and Just For Men hair products in the store, but haven't felt compelled yet to try them (yet). Judging from my parent's change in hair color over the years, mine will probably also gradually change at the same pace. I think it's an enhancement of one's...

    How many of you have gray hair?

    I have have had a few gray hairs since my teens and they are getting more numerous, although from the distance you can't really tell. My hair has also started to thin at the top in the past few years. I have tried a vitamin-enriched conditioner to help stop the thinning, and it seems to be...

    Earliest belief of a symbolic Eucharist ?

    I found the following research on the history of the symbolic presence here: From: http://www.bible.ca/ntx-communion-transubstantiation.htm Some excerpts: Roman Catholics and Orthodox misrepresent the historical development of Transubstantiation, since its invention was no sooner than the...
