Comment on The Difference Between Boys and Girls by Darleen

Well .. interesting, however we have 5 girls and now a granddaughter and grandson.

The girls adventure to the museum was not usual. Girls squeal, and fight with each other in the car and get hormonal. Sometimes I wished for boys – especially after PMS week. Or was it during PMS week?

My daughter that is the mother of our grandchildren, however says she will have a 3rd one, if she can have another girl. They stay babies longer is her reason.

Maybe true.
Thanks for delightful writing for me to read.

I was stunned the day I read that Mary’s column was cancelled. I didn’t want to read the paper anymore! The columns and tidbits in the paper now are bland compared to Mary’s delightful and heartwarming writing! Thank goodness she has begun to post her columns online to add a sense of comfort and reality to my life again! Thank You Mary!

I was stunned when I read that it was Mary’s last column. I am so happy to be reading and enjoying Mary’s sense of humor again!

I’m so bummed to read about the San Mateo Times ceasing publication of your column. I’ve been enjoying it since it was first published. I understand their need to cut costs, but I think your column should be considered an investment, not an expense.

Hey! So you DO listen…. and I DO read your column! Thanks for disseminating the heart-to-heart (vs liver-to-liver) FYI.
Uh-uh, we do not share bile, angst, jealousy, or rage.

Mary,
You are definitely not old! Loved the column, though. I can sure relate to it!

This doesn’t sound like the column of an “old person” :>)

You can’t be old until you move into one of those geriatric ghettos

Yuk—Now that is a place to feel old. The residents are sequestered from the real world. The landscaping looks like Disneyland: All man made–nothing that wasn’t carted in from somewhere else.
.
You could move there when your’e 55 and feel like a youngster? But, then how you can you feel when you can’t hear children laugh?

Sorry Mary—ain’t buying it. When you and Keeper move to Sun City, then I’ll know you are old.

In order to maintain our friendship, I won’t say what I REALLY think about that little, obnoxious yappy dog?
