Mama Carol

That was on the hill above my house. I was in that shopping center at least once a day, often three or four times a day. I think I had just left the hair salon in the shopping center and was heading home.

And you always told ME to get with the times. At least you have a PHONE and can make and receive calls (and text messages).

Funny thing is I have a better memory of Cobain's passing than I do Elvis'. I wasn't a fan of either really. I do remember Cobain because my daughter was, and still is, such a huge fan of his and Nirvana. Their music influenced her music. Fortunately, his life and death didn't influence her.

Yes m'am I did. and LOL at the last one because we both know my hearing is not good but my reading is just fine.

My bad. Been a long time since I had to know that.

My phone could quit working and I wouldn't know the difference. Nor would I care much. I only use it to send and receive texts.

All of you who are saying you were 3 or not yet born are making me feel really OLD. I was already out of school (tech school) and working and had been almost a year! Geez. Let me go get out my walker. Just thought I'd let y'all know that.

We weren't that far apart at the time, were we?

Driving in the parking lot at the Winn Dixie at the corner of Concord Road and South Cobb Drive. I honestly didn't believe it but when I got home just a few minutes later my brother told me that it was on the news. In a lot of ways it was like when I heard about the World Trade Center on 9/11. I just didn't believe the report was true. Elvis was about two weeks younger than my oldest sister and it was completely foreign to me that someone that young (though he was 20 years older than me) could be dead.

My sister in law has had a Diet Coke "addiction" for years. She drinks about 15 of them a day. FIFTEEN! I can't imagine drinking that much of anything in one day. And now, after the Dr Oz show a few days ago she is scared she might get pancreatic cancer because apparently aspartame increases your risk. Yet, she had a brother die of lung cancer and she smokes a pack (or more) a day and has since she was a teenager. And if it weren't for a friend of mine who got me hooked on Cherry Dr. Pepper, I would NEVER drink a soft drink. I've gotten rather fond of those Dr. Peppers though.

So will tequila. But that could kill me, too.

Yeah, that one sip is not very fast.

Bayer loves it when I drink diet drinks. I HAVE to have lots and lots of aspirin because aspartame gives me horrible, horrible, blinding headaches.

I know what you mean. My oldest nephew is older than my husband, who is three years older than me! My mother in law is 83. My brother is 80.

I would agree with the talk starting in fifth grade except for the fact that a good number of girls start their periods at 8 or 9. That "talk" really needs to happen before that. I'd say 3rd grade but not too graphic and have sex ed every year all through to senior year in high school, getting a little more graphic every year. Then again, I personally see little reason to have an unwanted pregnancy, pregnancy terminations or a sexually transmitted disease when there are ways to prevent such things STARTING with sex ed.

Call whichever department in the county handles real estate information. They will have accurate information.

Statistics can be manipulated to say anything you want them to say. And I agree with you. I believe there are WAY more unwed teenage moms than in 1975. More people, too, so the rate could be lower but there ARE more. Period.

My mom was 39 and my dad was 44. My mother in law is 3 years older than my brother. It was really being different when I was growing up to have parents as old as my friends grandparents and siblings the age of my friends parents. It did make me want to be sure to complete my family before the age of 30, though.

One week after graduation one of my classmates married her high school sweetheart. They had started dating when she was in 9th and he was a senior. They continued to date all through her school years and are still together FORTY YEARS LATER! We only had one or maybe two other couples who got married that soon after graduation and to my knowledge all are still together (or they were at the last reunion 10 years ago). So Scott and Janet, Randy and Ginger and Leone and George (at least I think that was his name) are all celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year. All the others, I wen

I was 9. I actually started before my sister who is 6 years older than me.

My boyfriend in 9th grade was 16 and had a car. I think I was 14, not quite 15. He was a big guy and refused to play football. He was a lot bigger than the football players (I'm sure you remember the wimpy team Wills had).

I actually didn't go on my first real date until my senior year in high school. I was friends with a lot of guys but wasn't interested in dating any of them (and vice versa). The really funny thing is the guy I went out on that first REAL date is gay. We dated for several months. Even before we dated, we would spend HOURS on the phone at night. Thank the Lord I did NOT marry the first man I dated. Nor the second, third, fourth or fifth (or even sixth or seventh). Nor the first one who asked me to marry them. But by gosh, I married the RIGHT one.

Have you figured out who "they" are yet? I haven't. 39 between me and mine.
