The vast majority of my friends are married. I know a few widowers, and they were married for most of their life, and really have no interest in another wife or even dating.

I have been happily married for 32 years, and I can't image dating again. Blech!

That's pretty damn funny. I'm 64, almost 65, and I'll be using that in the future.

Shaun, I think with your body type a simple black dress without the lace would be a better look, I like the sunhat though. You wear that and the glasses well.

(PS, the reason you identify as 20 is because you don't have kids. This is a known fact.)

Shaun is a dude! KC was just giving him a hard time because his post talked about both himself and some woman and he posted the lady’s photo.

I'm pretty sure that KC knew that; so did I. I guess the green type is ALWAYS needed on this forum.

Shaun can also be spelled Sean or Shawn. Same pronunciation. And I've heard Sean pronounced "Seen".

My wife's friend came over this morning.

"Since you're a man, I need to ask you a man question. What should the tire pressure be in my Chevy Trax?"

The nerve!! What a sexist. I should know the tire pressure in a car I've never seen just because I have a nice bulge in my pants?

"35 front and rear."

I am very well aware of the lace faux pas, it was part of the converation that day over brunch, fun fact, I sold my boys clothing line to start a women's couture line and Tru6 was just a cash flow vehicle to give me time and money to work on the couture for a year or 2 before launch. Sadly it took 4 whole years to solve a creative challenge that was central to the line so here we are.

You know I always wanted kids and even had two magazines, Modern Dad and FirstTime Dad, but god I'm glad I didn't. I know the rewards are great but I couldn't imagine a better life. It's pretty great never getting old. Only problem is other people do.
