- Lots of good stuff deleted..

- YES!!! I am begginning to think like this..Besides the younger guys give a lot
- more attention and seem to be very much more cuddly than some of the "Older"
- guys. I am not saying that I will marry one but if I do sooooo what?? I know
- a lot of men my age marry a woman who is 20 years younger than him.
-
- I feel in this day and age people need to check out all their options. Not
- just people their own age. I know I am not going to let age matter in my life
- anymore. <as long as they are over 18> ;-)

- Merry Christmas everyone!
