<t>I have read through this thread and found some of the responses to be quite insightful . Certainly in some of the more realistic and honest appraisals. Particularly Flopstick , Lon and SnoozControl. As an ( I suspect) older observer with some experience in this subject I offer the following:<br/>...

<t>If anyone believes that the economy of this country is not in serious jepordy due to the amount of debt the average home owner and the Government is carrying and growing are on some pretty good drugs. There is a real and very serious threat of collapse of the housing price bubble in the wind. Man...

<t>My guess is that the era of cheap oil ended with the present administration's secret development of our energy policy with the help of the US energy industries<br/> <br/> top mgmt. You remember - our VP's buddies behind closed doors . <br/> <br/> Has anyone here checked today's futures price on a...

<t>New England (USA) <br/> <br/> I think a forum on New England could interest many - even those from the UK <br/> <br/> since many here have ancestry there . I live in a small town on the Mid coast of Maine that has a tremendous maritime history . There are many remarkable locations with histories ...

<t>This is a real loss for those of us who cherished the fearlessness he showed in his writing. I always enjoyed and admired his genuine disrespect for authority. Many felt that he was an insightfull and an often joyfull risk taker. I hope that he found some happiness in his writing accomplishments....

<t>Hello Letha<br/> <br/> I've read all the posts (replies) from those offerering advice . Well, I smoked for almost 35 years and have not smoked now for more than 10 years. I will tell you how I did it and that it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. YOU -CAN DO IT . You must believ...

<t>Jack<br/> <br/> Am in a sort of similar situatuation but can still do light work (if I want to)<br/> <br/> After your last reply - had a thought to pass along.<br/> <br/> Lots of folks around here go south in the winter.

While I'm certainly not a qualified critic - I think its very good .

<t>Having recently retired to the Coast of Maine after living in a relatively large city<br/> <br/> in central Massachusetts - I am discovering what the real America is here vs there.

<t>Personally I can not see anything wrong with an older woman - younger man<br/> <br/> arrangement. At 28 I had an affair with a woman 20 years older.

<t>Hi Angie<br/> <br/> Welcome<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> That is a most difficult request.

<t>Upon reading the article from the posted link I found that they actually have NOT discovered another chamber (room) only that there are indications that one may exist. That’s the first misconception. Having studied the known history and some additional, not widely published information abo...

<t>I agree with Illuminati - there could be other explanations for this much activity.<br/> <br/> Its always suspicious when a newspaper reports this kind of thing in a sensational manner.

<t>Hi<br/> <br/> I'm kind of new to this forum myself and was intrigued by your situation.<br/> <br/> As an older married man (3X) who has survived a number of <br/> <br/> "situations" over the years that have taught me a few lessons, I thought I would take a shot at a reply. <br/> <br/> I would sug...

<t>In reply to Suresh -<br/> <br/> Certainly there were other ways to tell him she didn't care. But thats just the point - she didn't care and she lied to avoid telling the truth about her true fellings for him. The message was obvious - Our actions will eventually reveal our true fellings.
