And we could only hope to be half of what our grandfathers were....The man I considered my grandfather was a two time Purple heart recipient, four Bronze stars. Was a battle engineer in WWII.....fought in every major theater in Europe. Was 97 when he passed. Lived on his own and still drove his self to the doctors and grocery store. Was as sharp as any of us. Just dropped dead one day. Times up...

Was nothing more then 5' 2" but was the tallest man I knew. He was honored at Ravens stadium a couple years before he passed as a "Home Town Hero". One of the proudest days of his life. Harbaugh took a few minutes to speak to him......from that day on in his eyes Harbaugh was the best thing since George Patton. He wore his "dress" uniform jacket at the ceremony before the game. Many many people came up to him during the game and thanked him for his service. I cry every time thinking about it.....I don't remember who the ravens played......don't remember the score. But I will remember the smile on that old mans face for the rest of my life.

My son is 21. He is dating a nice young lady of the same age. He just finished his AA, is Cisco certified and looking for his first REAL job. In the meantime he is working at a local establishments (has been for 5 years) and we are in no rush to send him out of the house. He cuts the grass without asking and otherwise takes care of himself (laundry and whatnot, does his own shopping for toiletries, etc - he will be fine when he does move out).

She is in her sophomore year up near Buffalo, so they don't see each other for weeks at a time but of course with phones these days that isn't as big of a deal. She is a smart and sincere girl and they are quite happy with each other, apparently. From reading this thread and other things it seems she is a rare find.

We would be blessed to call her daughter0-in-law should that happen.

I assumed there might be a difference in what each defines as a relationship. But I was struck with the same thought that this is odd.

This is so hard for me, because I can’t deny the opportunities that have been afforded our women. It’s no doubt been crucial in raising the intellectual capital we collectively have through education and such, but the main issue that I see is that white women’s struggles are not ours. From what what I can see, whites women feminism allows them to accrue more and more of their white partners wealth.

Whereas black feminism is focused more on ancillary topics that have nothing to do with actually attaining wealth

My sister in law is at Princeton and currently in the same phase unfortunately.

I'm 37 and have been single for a good minute, I can't imagine changing my life style at this point, never been happier. Being alone is the peace I've needed for a long time.

I noticed as I get older I crave solitude, although I'm married to a wonderful woman. Men are solitary creatures. Women are social, which is why they need constant validation.

Your son is fortunate - she IS a rare find, from what my son and nephews tell me. Your son is also seems to be, so they deserve each other. Great job to you and the missus.

And as I continue down this path, I am just going to be more set in my ways. And I'll be honest, I just don't want to do shit that I don't want to do. I don't want to go to some family event that I'm going to be wanting Stan my eyes with a spoon, so I won't.

I’m in the same boat.

I am converting my garage into my workshop…which is really just a place that I can go that’s just mine with my stuff.

Well, you say that until the right lady comes along.

Everything is give and take.
