Miracle Man. No cane, no walker, no wheel chair. In SAMs no less! 45 pounds less of him to love. And most importantly no staph!

As in Earnesttalks.com? If you haven’t enjoyed my stories before, by all means check me out.
I haven’t been around for a while because, to be honest, I got bored with blogging. I turned it all over to Ron and believed he would keep up. He didn’t.
Now I admit that he hasn’t had the best 2011 (nasal surgery in January, staph infection in his knee in March, long recovery since then) but still, he could have done a post or two. Well, I don’t think he’s going to do it so I may as well.
OK, this is not really about age-gap relationships. After all, that’s not my job – it’s Ron’s and he hasn’t done well with his blogs recently. My job is to watch folks, tell stories, and have fun. He claims to not remember much of 2011 so he can’t tell us anything new right now. What a whiner!
So why have I come out of retirement? It’s like this. Everywhere I go, Ron follows and like it or not, I have to watch him as he lives his (our) life. Tonight, as he worked much later than he should, he reached into his “stash” for his drug of choice – peanut butter and Club crackers. Not unusual, right?
No, it’s not unusual. In fact, I was hanging out with him when he first discovered Club crackers. I don’t remember how young he was but he was still a child. Club crackers rule! Unfortunately, back then the choice between saltines and Club crackers was his parent’s, not his, the cheaper saltines were almost always their purchase of choice.
Did you ever wonder why you do certain things? In Ron’s case he likes to talk about the affect Reeses Cups had on his later financial life. Tonight I looked at that box of crackers and realized that it also represented part of his measure of the success of his life. Weird, huh? He was never hungry as a child. He can tell you, however, how important Reese’s Cups can become in your life if you aren’t careful.
OK, enough, already. So he likes Club crackers. So what? Think about it. What do you have now simply because you couldn’t have it when you first wanted it? Just a question. By the way, Club crackers are a good way to coax the dogs back into the house.
Now, I’m not sure how Ron justified the airplane, but I surely enjoyed flying it.
Good to be back, folks, even if it’s only an observation of the life of Ron. He seems to be regaining most of his brain tissue from the (prescribed) drugs and may even be posting soon.
Love you all,

The Unequal Marriage
I’ve been known to praise the UK for it’s willingness to talk about age-gap relationships in their media. This article has me absolutely fuming. It represents the typical prejudice and stereotypes age gappers are know for. This is the quote that sent my blood pressure soaring.
If you’re the older partner in an age gap relationship, the worst thing you can do is expect, or assume, that it will last – it’s highly unlikely.
My goodness! You may as well just tell the older partner…. “don’t work at it, don’t even really bother to try because it’s doomed.” This is one of the those times when I’d like to take all 25 years of my marriage (imperfect as it may be) and wave our marriage license in the author’s face. Marriage is hard work…. period. full stop. end of sentence. And yes even people with significant age differences can and DO MAKE IT WORK!!!
I’d love to hear what you think about this one:
