I hear many married women say that they need a sense of humour to deal with their husbands.

That may be true for other married women... but I would have to say that I don't qualify for those satistics because my husband is not what I need a sence of humor for... I need a sence of humor so I can laugh at all the weird and wacky things in life. Without Mick and a sence of humor I would be one of the plain, young, nose-picker people. And I like being different. But not so different that I am going to dye my hair orange and sing songs about murder and mayhem and drowned my coffee with cream and sugar. NO!! That is not me!

I would like to have peace of mind... and that requires a sence of humor. Without it, a person would be fruity like my mom and be walking the streets with a frown on their face.

Also having a sence of humor is important in how you take things... humorously or seriously.

I like my husband and I like his sence of humor... although, (heaven forbid) without his sence of humor I would need a sence of humor.

How Mick says it, "And I thank the Gods daily..." for him!!!

From what I've read you seem fairly open-minded on the whole idea of age. Where I live people often look down on me because of my age and treat my opinion as inferior because I haven't seen as many cold winters as they have. It's finally refreshing to hear people who actually care more about your opinions rather than talk about how invalid they are because of your age.

As with I, Brian - I know plenty of younger people who I have more faith in than older people based on attitude. Whilst I may still posses naivity it still gives me the opportunity to question what everyone else is saying who doesn't have it. I see it as more of an opportunity than a burden in the greater sense of the word.

Finally - alright then, I'm not the youngest, the second youngest and it's still the thought that counts.

Anzac, I have been there myself, so this is my "Intifada" LOL against "youre young therefore youre "green" ie inexperienced attitude. I dislike this, so welcome to the club, comrade keep up your youth spirit. because in this there is still hope and hope is one of needed facets
to have if 1 wants to have drive for the change in life.

Marhabatere, Phyllis!
What kind of thing is geritol? Is it a medicine or fountain of youth perhaps?

Geritol is a vitamin/mineral supplement here in the United States. One of the formulas is specifically for old people.

I had to post something, and I wasn't sure how he'd react to being told to sit back and listen to his Lawrence Welk tapes. (Lawrence Welk was a band leader/musician who specialized in "old fogey" music.)

What a wonderful thread!

Regards to everyone! Since I seem to be at the "geritol" end of the spectrum here, I'll say it's encouraging to see someone young enough to still do something have the courage, wisdom and vision to participate amongst such a motley group of obviously enlightened and interesting people. I am really pleased I stumbled on this forum.

[I, Brian]

And welcome aboard (again!) to CR, juantoo3.

Anzac asks:

...and what made you join the board? (this is more knowing people's motivation rather than anything else).

Honestly speaking, on my own part, I just like to write posts and see them put out in the message boards, it gives me a kind of pleasure and thrill.

You write to the papers and they don’t ever seem to print them. Here what you contribute regularly comes out and before an cyber-internetional audience.

So if at times and plenty of them some people here are annoyed, I just hope that they can see that as I understand from Brian the owner-administrator, we are here to enjoy ourselves.

Yes, I do learn from the learned and intelligent posters here. Maybe my own comments to their posts could contribute some insights also.

On my part I try to appear humorous in my posts, and again I feel a bit of apprehension that some people here might not welcome my kind of humor. Please be patient and forbearing, because we are here to enjoy ourselves and learn something useful and instructive in the process. Learning does not exclude having fun in the process, my own belief. It should not be dismal.

I also tend to be negative in my reactions to others’ posts; please be again patient. I will try to be negative without being unkind.
