You're welcome. Yes, when I went back and looked at it I thought "UHOH". I should probably edit.

No! Don't edit! It's a real eye popper of a title. A lot of people should be noticing it.

I liked this so much that I copied it and forwarded it to a couple of my sisters. I've already heard back from one who said she loved it.

You can't go wrong with the list at age 72 .

You'd hope after so many years of practice.....................but no.

hilarious post. i was thinking this could also read "what you want in the same man over the years". LOL
