Do age gaps matter to you?

My sister, who is 14 years older than I, was in a relationship with a man who was 2 years younger than my ex-husband, who is 3 years younger than me. The age difference wasn't the reason it didn't work. You do the math.

Green_eyes comments on Apr 19, 2019:

I can’t date anyone much younger than myself. I don’t like the cougar stamp. I wouldn’t mind dating older but it gets tricky with children. I was almost 35 when I had my first child. Older gentleman don’t want to be messing around with teens. I respect that.

Sticks48 replies on Apr 19, 2019:

It depends on the teenagers. There are teenagers, and there are TEENAGERS! :)

@TomMcGiverin We will never know if it would have had any effect, and I am not saying for fact it would have, but they are not making that mistake this time. If he gets the nomination, l think he will be fine. If the evil empire people were going to get rid of someone, Trump would have been taken out. He was not one of theirs. Other than Cruz, the Republican establishment would have preferred any of Trump's primary opponents. IMHO

Sticks48 replies on Apr 17, 2019:

@Neenz That is a good question. I have no answer. I am not a bad person, but I do tend to stay out of other people's business. I found out a long time ago, unless someone asks for help, they generally don't want it. I might think someone is living a life no one would want, because I wouldn't want it. Of course I could be very wrong.. As for the children, one can only hope at some point they will be able to look at their indoctrination as just that and figure out what works for them. This is all gray area, except the overall harm that comes from organized religions. IMHO

Sticks48 replies on Apr 17, 2019:

@Neenz I really don't have a problem with people believing in God or an afterlife, or any of those things. It is my disdain for organized religion that will not waiver. They are organizations whose negative effects on society far outway the positive in my opinion. I know and have known believers who don't go to church or even talk of any affiliation with a church or doctrine. They are not a threat or danger to society. They are live and let live folks.

@Sheannutt I had a close encounter with a roadrunner last year. I was doing some work at the edge of the woods when I saw him watching me. He was 8 to 10 feet from me. So l stopped and talked to him. He just stood there listening to me, occasionally tilting his head. After 3 or 4 minutes I went back to working. He stood there watching for a minute or so, then walked past me into the woods. He was beautiful.
