lxdollarsxl Having a long life or a short one is not the point, its what you put into your time and what you get back from it. Its no good worrying if we will be around for a long time, you have to do what is best for you - Who knows what is around the next corner? For me...

lxdollarsxl Sounds like you have had a wonderful visit, just like a story that Disney might have made into a film. It does feel like family and i guess its very tiring with long days and nights, but im sure you would not swap one day of it to be back in the city. Enjoy...

lxdollarsxl You seem to forget it wasnt a child who gave birth to you or looked after and fed you when you were helpless. Acually in many western countries the population is decreasing and not increasing, mainly because people live longer and the cost of bringing up a...

I have heard that the parents like to arrange a marriage for the their grown up child. If the grown up child falls in love with someone that the family had chosen they might be trouble. Even though the law in India says that...

lxdollarsxl I dont think India has the market cornered as far as arranged marriages it is quite normal in many cultures. Although i dont agree parents should be the ones to arrange/force children to marry any particular person, this custom has been going on for centuries...

Do you like the smell of rain or right after it has rained? I personally don't love it but it does bring up some sort of subconscious memories. Kind of makes me smile for a moment. I guess this is why we like a lot of smells. Do...

lxdollarsxl Just love it, it does bring back memories - also love the smell it seems to make everything around fresh and clean again, especially in the cities. Gone is the smell of traffic, pity it doesnt stay this way too long. Sitting outside on the porch during a...

We hear that the TSA can not do a psychological profiling of a terrorist but they can force people with implants, prosthesis, or joint replacements. My wife has a knee replacement, my daughter had a metal plate in her leg to...

lxdollarsxl i totally agree with you, unfortunately these agencies are a law unto themselves - until the average traveller makes sure his/her voice is heard by his/her government the situation will get more involved and more invasive.

lxdollarsxl I dont think its weird at all, does getting married mean thats a real relationship and not being married a sham? They obviously know what is best for them and im sure have talked about it. Some people never marry but live together very happily, that bit of...

lxdollarsxl Well i guess im considered very old then at 62, but you know age makes no difference when it comes to people making trouble. The sad thing is it also gives the wrong impression to the young when stories like this surface and they tend to think all older people...
