Sorry for the qoutes Theia. Not a fun AM. When it pours for a couple of hours and the temps are in the mid 20's, you end up with a lot of ice. Just salted my driveway. Probably 1/2 inch of solid ice on it. Temps are now righ about freezing, so hopefully between the salt and rising temps, I will be able to get out of my house at some point today.

As a general rule, of course not. My sister's DH is 7 years older, my brother's DW is 8 years younger. If you are compatible, what is age?<br><br>
My personal preference is no more than 4 years younger and no more than 8 years older. But, I am willing to be flexible if I meet someone really cool and is a few years on either side of that equation.

I'm glad to see there is a strong consensus about it! I guess it sounds weird to me to think of a 42 yo as not too old (since 24- 9 years younger- would be WAY too young!) I think part of it is that I don't see myself as 33/adult, etc!<br><br>
Kini, sorry it didn't work out for you. Seems like you have a very healthy attitude, though!

Catching up in the thread. DS#1 is at theater, DS#2 is coloring. So far, everything on schedule. Even got a run in. Cabernet is awaiting.... Will catch up on the rest of the fun later, wine in hand.

The midlife crisis thing. Older man wants way younger woman. *shrug*<br><br>
I agree 100%<br><br>
Thank you.<br><br>
I will agree some are nice to have around, but most are not worth the trouble.<br><br>
I will admit when we first split I did not have a good attitude at all. I was depressed and upset about the whole thing. It took some time, but I realized that he was an ass and I deserved better then that. I am in a much happier place with out him.

Beth - If he were +/- 2 years, would you give it a shot? If yes, then why worry about a #?<br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><span style="color:#C0C0C0;">Hmmm. I will be in the 30+ group shortly, and there us plenty of greying going on up top. Although thankfully no thinning.</span></span>

<b>gov</b> - so glad to hear your brother's doing tons better<br><b>LL</b> - hope you're feeling okay for fireman duties<br><br>
And now for the ages...rock of ages...still rolling...rock rollin'<br><b>Colleen</b> - 40, no big deal. Besides, you're 34 in <b>McT</b> years, and that's what counts<br><b>Beth</b> - 42, no big deal. Besides, you're due for a good relationship, and this may be it<br>
Of course, I'm 41 and I'd take almost any deal at this point (well, okay, not really, but still... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> )

Love it, <b>Moon</b>!<br><br><br><b>Beth</b>, my parents are 9 years apart, but they're disfunctional despite 39.5 years of marriage. It takes all kinds, but if he makes you happy, why not?<br><br><b>QODcreative</b>: This year I'm giving themed gifts:<br>
PANiece#1 -- 2 HP books and jelly beans<br>
PANephew -- binoculars, magnifying glass, trail mix, safari hat, bug book<br>
PANiece#2 -- animal book, animal crackers, ? (don't want to buy another stuffed animal)<br>
VANiece -- Mythology book, ?, ?<br>
VANephew -- truck book, construction/truck stuff<br>
I also create a family calendar from walmart.com and give to each family for the next year. The older generation likes it the best b/c they have pictures of the grandkids on the wall the entire year.<br><br><b>QOD$million</b>: When I was hyperventilating on the ground after my 5k in August, I dictated my will to my friend (history of stroke in the family), and after about the 50th bequest, she said, "You don't really have that much money, do you?" Even the $million couldn't cover everything that I wanted to do with it.<br><br>
Ok, I've read the thread instead of going back to the diss. Will try not to cry this evening.<br><br>
Glad everyone is safe in spite of the weather!

I'm 34, and I've got plenty of silver hairs on top of my head (when my hair isn't dyed anyway). I noticed in the full-size version of my avatar photo that the top of my head "sparkled" a little. Didn't realize I had enough for it to be photographically noticeable. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/huh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="huh">
