* I wonder how many women were actually married when they got pregnant and lied to their husbands about the kid.

Husband would know instantly when child recoils in fear at the sight of a sears catalog.

*That's a lot of child support

yeah right... Back in the day it was not at all uncommon to come right up to the porch, chat with the lady of the house, probably be offered a beverage and come into the kitchen. With the kids outside playing or at school, and the hubby at work till 5pm at minimum it wouldn't be that hard to charm an otherwise lonely housewife.

Damn it, it's false. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/postman-fathered-1300-children/

The first man who ever picked a flower and gave it to a girl really had no idea what he was getting the rest of us into.

Chocolate man was worse. Virtually no chance the rest of us can get that for free.

DeBeers wins this by a long shot. The diamond engagement ring is a "tradition" created in an advertisement.

Yeah, but they KNEW what they were getting us into. LoL

Still remember when I was about to pop the question to my bride of 47 years. I quit my high paying job and became a part time bag boy at the A&P to use that income in the formula for how much to spend on the ring.

I never wear my ring because of my job and she rarely wears hers. I actually had a part in it's design and used a green (her favorite color) diamond I bought separately while in Afghanistan. It's this kind of thinking that always gets me in trouble. I go above and beyond by a lot and when the next time comes around it's not always as great. Luckily she's awesome and for whatever reason decides to stay with me. One of my life's mysteries.

I may be one of these guys then...I hand-forged her rings... 2.2 ct natural sapphire.

Nice! Hand crafted things are always the best. More satisfying for everyone involved.

Some Thursday Thoughts.........for us older folks.

March Madness. After an absolutely beautiful weekend sunning on the beach, a little rain must fall but I've been sitting here thinking....

1. Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty.

2. I thought about when I was 20 something, drinking beer, eating pizza and doing sketchy stuff just for fun..........THEN, in the blink of an eye, I'm over 60 (heck... let's be honest, I'm over 70!!!) drinking water, eating Kale and not doing ANYTHING sketchy since I've pulled a muscle putting on my socks!

3. I remember when I was a kid, I didn't need an Elf on the Shelf to motivate me to behave during Christmas time, I had a BELT on the shelf that motivated me to behave the entire year!

4. ....and I'm so old I can remember we actually HAD to win to get a trophy!

5. Today, some 8 year olds are getting IPhones. Heck I thought I won the lottery when my dad bought me a "cartridge" pen.

5. We all know mirrors don't lie...but, at my age, I'm just grateful that they don't laugh!

6. Everyone should really enjoy their 20's, 30's, and 40's because once you reach 50, that "check engine" light is going to come on.

6. I'm so old I can remember when paper bags were being blamed for the destruction of trees - and plastic bags were the solution!

7. I 'm also so old, I remember multiplication was called "times tables"

8. I have discovered that Dove Chocolate tastes way better than their soap.

9.. But, they say that every piece of chocolate you eat shortens your life by two minutes. I've done the math. Seems I died in 1537!

10. Who would've thought one day we might be smoking weed at a family gathering, but the illegal part would be the family gathering!

11. But they say we can have gatherings of up to 8 people without any issues; but I don't know 8 people without issues.

12. What do you think about this? We could train all Amazon delivery drivers to give the vaccine. The population would be immunized by Saturday. Friday, if you've got Prime.

13. As I'm tying to type this, I am imagining that auto correct is actually a tiny little elf inside the phone who is trying so hard to be helfpul..er. helpful, but is, in fact, quite drunk!

14.....and finally, remember, we are NOT aging, but ripening to perfection!

Enjoy your upcoming weekend. Spring is right around the corner and so is daylight savings time! What could be better!!!!

If 2 vegans are arguing, is it still considered a beef?

There would be fewer accidents if the ‘fine’ for texting and driving was a mandatory 30 day suspension of your texting service by your cell phone provider.

I have a new saying- Four More Years-
I'll be 65 and I'm going to retire so I can drive my Mustang when I want to instead of when the job allows me to.

I believe that kids that can’t color between the lines grow into adults who can’t park.

I never stayed in the lines as a kid, I'm a great car parker now.
