Cheer up. If 40 year old's still go for you when you are 60 then you will come out ahead.  |

| Thoughts on the Royal Wedding. With all the worry about terrorists and protesters, will the royal couple and the royal family arrive in open top carriages or bullet proof cars? Remember a few weeks ago when protesters were rocking and smacking the car containing Charles and Camilla, yelling "off wit... |

| When you were fifteen years of age, what did you think about dating? As a boy, when I was 15 I was so frustrated that sheep were starting to look good! I might have become Gay if I knew what Gay was in those days. The girls in your class are taller and more developed than you are and interested in ... |

| There is a woman that I see at church a lot that I am trying to work up the nerve to ask her out. For a start, forget the word "date". She goes to your church so it is not like she is a stranger. She knows who you are. Look for an excuse to get into a conversation that she is part of. Then say "Tha... |

I remember some Dr Phil episode where a woman was ready to divorce her husband because he dropped his wet bath towel on the bedroom flo... |

Perhaps you just don't want to mow the lawn or weed the garden.  |

| I wonder how accents develop. You can tell an Australian but you can't easily tell where he came from by his accent. Yet New Zealanders have a noticeable accent where "fish and chips" comes out as "fush and chups" and "six" becomes "sex". So how did such a young country settled mostly by English and... |

| I can guarantee that anyone who "loves" snow doesn't come from an area where there is snow for six months of the year. Slush, ice. Your car being a huge white mound. Your driveway having two feet of snow on it. Rubber overshoes. You can't go anywhere because the snow plow has not been down your road... |

I'm not into hugging. (Especially blokes) but I could manage a pat on the shoulder or a manly mock punch in the ribs if that would help.
I will buy you a pint but since you are not here I will have to drink it for you. |

Did you know that a lot of American words, expressions and pronunciations are more English than the English?
