Postponing the date is a drag. Boo.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Our wings are not tired.
My rule of thumb is ten years or less, the age difference won't even take any work.
DH is 11 years younger than me, and my mom is 15 years older than her DH. Like any other difference, (religion, ethnicity, politics, upbringing), a generational difference can cause issues, but it doesn't have to.

Burrell, how old were you and your DH when you met? Thanks everyone for the reminder of several awesome buffista couples! I feel like if I were 40 and she were 30 29, it wouldn't be such a thing. But 24 seems so young....if only because she's still friends with people in college and she works at Starbucks. Yknow. Still figuring out her life.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My theory is that it is not so much the numbers as possible differences in stage of life and (great) differences in maturity. For instance it would be much more challenging for a a twenty-five year old who is still in party-and-occasionally-show-up-to-work mode to be with another twenty-five year old who is in career-going-ok & thinking-about-establishing-family mode to make it work, than it would be for a twenty-five year old and a 40 year old who are both in career-going-ok & thinking-about-establishing-family mode. Of course, the younger a person is, the more likely it is for such a person to change focus and direction and stage of life more than once in a decade, which can be disconcerting to a person who has already gone through those changes of focus.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
meara, I'm 39 and still figuring out my life. It's a constant life-long evolution. I am a different person than I was 13 1/2 months ago. Change happens at any time. Is she happy at Starbucks? Then it doesn't matter.
Get to know her outside of the making out. Find out if you like her. See what happens. Deal with the issues as they come up; don't fabricate ones where they don't exist.

Bit by bit, sumi. A hot bath is a fantastic idea. Some scented candles and just relax. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My personal mantra has been "the only way out is through."
And promising myself lots of rewards once it's actually done.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX daily use moisturizer UVA/UVB Spf 15
I found this at CVS, surprise surprise.
Steph, for moisturizer I like ShiKai. I also sometimes just use coconut oil or jojoba oil.
