I'm horribly worried about my 17 year old daughter. She has developed a huge crush on one of her girlfriends. I'm so afraid she may have homosexual tendencies. I know, I know I really do have nothing against homosexuals, but it's a bit difficult to face... read entire post

What is 'old' ?
I'm approaching half a century and I feel not much older than I did when I left college 25 years ago. True, there are the gray hairs that I think I should start colouring, the odd twinge in my knee when I've been sitting too long... read entire post
