'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Here in retirementville we hear lots of stories of early sweethearts finding each other again after being widowed. It must be easier to start again with someone you knew than a stranger. Guy across the street was married for 40+ years and less than a year after she died he married an old girlfriend from high school.
At the moment we have not so many old folks as spring breakers. There were 6 girls in bikinis at the 7-11 when I stopped earlier.
I have no idea, but GONE WITH THE WIND? How many people have actually READ the book, and not just seen the movie.
When we were in Atlanta, GF and I toured the Margaret Mitchell house and they said that GWtW is the biggest selling book in history behind the bible. So somebody is reading it (though I haven't).
ETA: They said Harry Potter was nipping at its heels...
I didn't mean head replacement, but was thinking more of head addition. It would be conjoining, I guess.
Huh. So suppose someone is dying, and the only option to save their life would be to transplant their head onto their spouse's body.
I suppose some people might agree to this but... I imagine almost all doctors would consider it unethical.

This was an episode of Futurama, incidentally. (Fry's head on Amy's body.)
My spouse would be outta luck. I am not having his head transplanted on me.

I read it!
Still appalling, mind.
GF read it after our Atlanta trip. She couldn't believe how racist it was. She kept having me read passages - definitely racist. Ick.

Yes, it was strange to see an old photo of my Dad and have my stepmother say something like "that's your dad and me at so-and-so's wedding 50 years ago," but it was great for them because she already knew so many of the people my dad had begun to reconnect with after my mom's death and his retirement. And she was so wrong for my Dad when he was younger (and she was the polar opposite of my Mom), but was the perfect person for his golden years.

Phew! I was just editing something about Le Petit Prince and am happy to see that Wikipedia jives with what the author was saying.
