Very interesting, but let's get back to that piano. Can someone (me specifically) learn to play the piano at age 72? I bought a Petite Grand two years ago on a whim, hired a piano teacher, fired him because he insisted on me counting out loud. I told him I wanted to learn how first then would work on the accuracy, so I started to teach myself. Using your math, 30-10=20 years. Reapplying that to my situation, 72+20=92. I sure hope I can learn in time. Did I get the math right? Is classical a good place to start?

Yes. Lol some days you regret moving my rock. It's like Pandora' s.

Between her and Hillary being named on this post there's not room for another hag in here. Bla

Yes, sorry, I actually don't know any other Jane.

That's a good one!

Fonda?

Congrats. We just celebrated 20.

Precisely, what difference does it make? I just want the truth and the specific facts. Today on the news I saw Jane, she still doesn't get it, she still thinks we, the military, lost the war in Vietnam. Perhaps she should run for president against Hillary. I've got to go throw up now.

At this point what difference does it make? Hag.

I haven't shot a monkey wrench recently, but I know my aim is still pretty good. My real shooting experience is M110 (8-inch Howitzer) and M107 (175mm Gun). and I'm proud to say we never shot out (that would be a gross error). I kind of wish I still had one or the other and a couple trucks full of ammo. Benghazi is my biggest issue. If they get away with the truth not coming out, then I really fear for my kids and grandkids.

yea right. not adventurous. that's how we met-she was hiding under a rock and I kicked it over. snort

that is my experience

I still have a crush on LS. I am happily married 29 years next month ;)

knives?

LOL!

Wow... sorry about your brother :(.. my childhood was near perfect, well except for the one sister who wanted to kill me, other than that it was great. lol

I'm not adventurous, I prefer to stay home, I don't like people much lol (the vast majority are disappointing)...never speak in public (no no no no), but the rest of that, yes. :)

Never afraid of new things. Speak in public regularity. Prefer principles to "rules" ...and will break rules to garner sanity. Question everything that doesn't "jibe" with reality. Seek knowledge for its own sake. ...etc.

Yes. My older brother was born badly and ended up in an institution when he was 6 and I was 5. Two more brothers followed ...and because of the dysfunction I ended up as the "substitute mom". Brothers can be a good thing. Almost no "competition"!

You are correct.

What kind of 'leaders' were/are you?

Were there brothers? I had none.

In a strange way that info helps my research in a way that was unanticipated. Thank you. FYI: I am an only-daughter of an only-daughter of an only-daughter and have spent my life being persecuted for "thinking like a man" . (Dagny?)

Yes...you have to know what evil looks like to recognize it when it reveals itself. People are easily swayed by a nice smile or friendly gesture. They ignore warning signs usually because that want to BELIEVE the person is being honest with them. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Plus too many these days are scared of offending someone so pointing a finger and calling someone what they are is a frightening thought to them. Oh...and what's up with people who can't say "no". Why do so many people feel the need to be liked by everyone, as if that's important some how. People are weak. arg.

There is 4 years between me and number 4. She resented me my whole life for stealing her babyshipness. Does that make one determined in life??? lol I was born this way, that's all I know.
