27 years between me and my lady. a happy ten years together, and a beautiful 7 year old daughter. I am 55, she's hot and the world can't be better. Soul mates for sure.

Much to be said for a younger man to marry an older woman. Friend of mine, from many years ago, said the man should be 10 years younger, mainly because, at that time, the average lifespan was 10 years different between men and women.
Men died younger. Fact of life. I know my own father died in 1962, my mother died in 1999. She was a widow for 37 years, a heck of a long time to be widowed.
Were I to remarry, now, at 61, my brain tells me I should find an older woman, my gonads tell me the younger women look better and would, probably, kill me even sooner.
Would I rather die with a smile on my face, or just keep on keepin' on and see if I can last long enough to see my youngest grandson , so far (7 months) grow up? Got 'em all the way up to 17 just the other day. I kinda like seein' them grow up.
Cheers,
George

Gyrene, Gotta agree with you there. Did divorce my first, said I don't know why, took her back, after about 2 weeks smacked myself in the head,
"Now I remember why!!!"

Gyrene · 12-20-2005, 01:46 PM

gmatov -My oldest sis had remarried her first husband for the second time (she made the same mistake twice) about 6 months after they divorced, and 4 years later after more of the same old rough stuff, she divorced him again.

I have a few years on you, and my last two ladies are within 10 years of my age, I can vouch for the fact that I probably won't die smiling. I had dated some 35 to 40 year old hotties (some would call them hardbodies, with nothing sagging), that wouldn't make me die with a smile on my face either, they were no more active than the ladies my age. I can understand the harem psychology. Maybe I am far too demanding, and in pretty good condition.

Unfortunately for me I have no known grandchildren, but those are the choices of my son and my daughter, it is not up to me. On the other hand that is a BIG BIG bone of contention between the EX and my son and daughter.

If you're old enough to go to war, then you're old enough to boink old folks.

Ctwo · 12-20-2005, 04:49 PM

If you live to be 98, then I say no more than 80 years apart is OK!

If your only 58, then only 40 years apart, unless your looking at someone who is 109+

IOW, any mix of 18+

My Dad was twenty one, and my Mother a week or two short of sixteen, when her big brother tried to tackle him and got his collarbone broken (my Dad was an ex-paratrooper). My Grandfather started keeping a loaded shotgun by his side 24/7 after that. So one day my mother stepped out of the school bus and into my Dad's Model T. They got married in Yuma, AZ, and worked their way up to Oregon. My older brother, myself, and one of my sisters were all born up there.

Eventually we came back to California. My grandfather put away the shotgun for good when he saw his grandbabies, and he and my Dad became the best of friends.

Hey, Edgar Allen Poe married his cousin and she was 20 years younger.

Man Thats bad! Actuall, 16 is legal in MD. My Grand parents on my mothers side had quite a few years dfference between them, My granddad was about 20 years older and he married her when she was 16. That had a very good relationship.

gmatov · 12-22-2005, 01:12 AM

Otter,

10 years after you die, she catches up. Make her work for it. Keep healthy.

Gyrene,

And, too, after they're married to you it's like "Thank goodness, I can quit doing that!"

Got 5 of 'em so far, g'kids, happy with 'em all, my only bone of contention is I would like a second g'daughter. I raised 4 girls, love all the g'kids but just might be a little more partial to my g'daughter, my Soccer and Bball buddy, ol' Jedo takes her to all her practices and wouldn't think of missing a game.

Can hardly wait for the Spring and the new session of Soccer.

Like to take her and her 17 year old brother to the range to shoot BP. Have to sign them up as Junior members, our club won't allow ANY non-members to shoot. Different from the clubs I belonged to 30 + years ago, take a guest. I understand the insurance implications, am not complaining. Just would like to take them once, if they like it, sign 'em up, if not, don't.

Cheers,

George

Gyrene · 12-22-2005, 12:27 PM

I kind of made up for the lack of grandkids, by running (at least partially), the Clubs' Junior Program. When I started, the guy who was running it and I would shoot, and wait, and sit and wait for hours on the Juniors' Day. Many times we would get nobody, and some times we would get 3 to 5 kids. It is free and the club provides everything, including Safety and marksmanship training, safety glasses, .22 Cal rifles, .22 Cal ammo, targets and coaching.

After they turned it over to me, I started talking to Scout Troops, 4-H, church, and other various groups. It built up from what we had, up to 20 to 40 kids on a Junior Day. For the past 4 years I have had to work every weekend, and unfortunately that is when the Junior Day is held, though I still make contacts with youth organizations. Many times the guys running the Program now, have to run two sessions in the same day with 25 to 40 kids in each session.

Some of these kids were interested enough, and got the support of Club members, going to State and National Competition. Shooting at Camp Perry was a big accomplishment, where they always perform well. No Champions, yet, but they are in the shoot, making the winners perform their best.

gmatov · 12-22-2005, 11:47 PM

Gyrene,

Our club has sent some juniors to state shoots, and they do well. Good kids, good, very good shooters.

But we still do not allow guests, some of whom might be the member's g'kids or nephews/nieces.

When I had young nephews, 30+ years ago, you could take 'em to the woods and allow them to shoot, unorganized. Get 'em a license, take 'em hunting.

Nowhere left, here, to do that, too built up.

If you are going to get a kid in your program, it is going to have to be a kid from a family that has shooting in its background. "My Dad shot, and I shot, and my kids are gonna learn to shoot!", and if there is nowhere to shoot, they are going to have to join a club and enroll theri kids there to learn to shoot, again, because, in settled areas, that's the only place TO shoot.

I am happy that the club does not require kids going for the Hunter Safety Program to have a father be a member of the Club.

Most of the anti-gun hysteria is, I think, from parents who have never been exposed to firearms, instilling it in their children, (The anti-gun "Liberal College Professors" should fit in this category.)

Innyhoo, I'll get them there, somehow.

Cheers,

George
