Aging

I got this funny one on aging from Martha.


I read this wonderful story in the newspaper last week, and thought I would share. It starts like this:

'Pen pal marriage marks 50 years

The intent was clear from the beginning: let’s get married. That they hadn’t even met didn’t seem to matter much to Ilija Smoljo or his soon-to-be bride, Nena.'

    Too funny! I don't have a great love of skunks since they decided to live under our deck in Chicago.

    I am glad we have no skunks over here - not yet, anyway, but love the cartoon! Valerie

    Without my glasses I bet I'd misidentify skunks!

    Oh, what a great marriage. That man reminds me of David, who loves to talk and talk and talk. I sometimes listen and chime in when he pauses. Lol.

    him looking for a fellow Serbian is about the opposite of what I've done in my romantic life. Daisy and I share very little on paper.

    I'm Caucasian-american of unknown generations, she's 2nd generation of (Laos) Asian-American. I'm from South Carolina, she was raised in Minnesota. I'm an agnostic non-theist, she's Buddhist. I'm a dog-person, she's a cat-person (unless there's a husky dog around). I don't eat meat, she'll eat almost anything. She sleeps on her side, I sleep on my stomach. She doesn't need glasses, I wear contacts.

    Sometimes similarities are necessary, but opposites do attract.
