can we talk about anything else
except french kissing and who to spend the night with? I know who I want to do it with and since it is none from DU, I leave it like that.
And xmas' thread was about age difference and double standards.

3. LOL
it wasn't me who got locked. xmas thread got locked and others who were more obvious didn't.
You will not get on my ignore list because I am not a donor and therefor don't have the possibility. I wouldn't do it anyway, so don't worry :)

2. "talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout
let's talk about. I wanna talk about."

We could talk about WTF that song is supposed to mean. I never had any idea, except that the young Zappa was reputed to be a good guitar player.

5. not by me
You are probably just too young and certainly not from Minnesota. Anyway, sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

15. Gott im Himmel
I could not even read "The Cat in the Hat" auf Deutsch. I kinda shudder at Goethe, since I hold "The Sufferings of Young Werther" partly responsible for making me suicidal when I was in my twenties, but the two courses on Deutsch geschichte were my favorites in college, but Buddenbrooks was somewhat depressing as well. Are we Germans given to dark moods?

17. Here is a German with a sunny mood
:D

To tell the truth I haven't read Buddenbrocks. But I know it is a book one should read.

21. Frankfurt.de sagt "wolkig"
I would not put Buddenbrooks ahead of Vonnegut's "Mother Night" although that book involves two suicides as well. I am trying to think of more German authors, and all I come up with is E.F. Schumacher, an economist. Economists are traditionally gloomy, but Schumacher is not.

22. when I look out of the window I see blue sky, sun
and some tiny clouds. Nothing to worry about.

Friedrich von Schiller, the Mann's Günther Grass, Martin Walser, Marion Maron, Stefan Heym, Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Dürrenmatt (ok he was Swiss).

12. I'll go searching for the threads by xmas.
The news from the EKG wasn't good. It showed one heart attack. The heart mummer that wasn't there when I saw this doctor back in 1998, was unmistakable this time. We scheduled a few test and I'll figure what to do after I have a better idea about my options.

14. ouch, that sounds really not too good

16. I did see
one about something like ... the 'age difference in someone that you dated' but there was nothing objectionable when I last looked.

Oh well I hope she enjoyed the thread before it got too hot to handle.

I did start one thread that had a leg which was beginning to look like a train wreck about to happen. I didn't respond to that inflammatory post and only one other person did, so that died a natural death without getting locked.

I believe that one heart attack happened while I was here at the computer two weeks ago, but there's really no way to tell exactly when it took place and there are 'silent heart attacks' so I may not have even known about it when it happened. We won't know anything more until we do the test. It may require surgery or just prescriptions to avoid another heart attack. I'm not worried because I believe that I'll be OK.

18. I think a positive mind helps and it seems like you have one
that is really good. But I hope you get around a surgery.

The thread by xmas I was talking about was not the one with the age different. She started one this night. It got locked a bit afer I showed up.
Sometimes I am amazed how long some of my threads are living.

19. Mind ? I ain't got no stinking mind ! I got lots of attitude!
I would love to spice things up a bit more while keeping it clean enough to avoid getting locked. We were doing pretty good the other night talking about leather and lace :evilgrin:

20. guess they didn't see it.

23. Your English was perfectly understandable, thank you for the complement.
I was being silly because I don't want to dwell on this too much.

After returning home from the doctor's appointment yesterday - I opened a fresh bottle of Chevas and poured myself a Scotch Mist, sat down and thought holy-shit I had a heart attack, now what the hell do I do.

Tim McGraw said it very well in his hit song last year "Live Like You Were Dieing". I've lived my life with that attitude for years. I realized a long time ago that once today is gone, it's gone forever so I try to celebrate every sunrise and make the most of the new day. There really are very few do-overs in life and I get down-in-the-dumps just like everyone does but I refuse to waste my precious time looking at the depressing side of life for too long.

So let's :party: while we can making memories to enjoy during the rocking-chair on the front porch days.

29. peaceful moments into hours
laying under the shade of a huge tree watching the Swans float by has replaced my days of sailing, pulling on yacht braided ropes.

I was once the first mate on a 60 foot sport fishing boat from Key West Florida to the New York Harbor, the flying fish and dolphins played in the wake of our boat while we were still in the Gulf Stream.

Memories ! I've got some to make your hair stand on end, some that will make you laugh so much that your sides would hurt and some that might make anyone cry. But Not Enough Yet! ......

31. Well one day when I was out sailing while wearing a string bikini
the local small military planes seemed to be doing some very low-flying training maneuvers ... or something because I waved back to at least one guy as he flew over my little sailboat :evilgrin:

33. I was 31 with long blonde hair
and a figure that looked great in any bikini.

I have always been unforgettable, I had the most fun staying out of trouble while having fun. I attracted 'bad boys' like black velvet pants attracts cat fur.

35. Ah Yep That's what life is about *Havin Fun* and being happy!
then there was the time the power went out while we were having a dock party ... our golden retriever got so drunk steeling everyone's rum & vodka fruit punch that the next day he would stop and lay down every time he tried to walk more than a few steps.

36. oh boy
