Personally I believe that there has to be other planets with life, somewhere. Maybe intelligent, maybe not. Perhaps more advanced than are we and perhaps less advanced. However I think that it is very possible that there are no other planets in our galaxy with life, intelligent or otherwise. If that is the case then I am sure we will never meet them. We certainly might not meet other forms of life even if they do exist in our galaxy. Remember that life on earth is very finite and we simply may not advance to the point that we could freely travel the galaxy before we face extinction. What do you think?

Can someone explain what a troll is? I have never quite known. Is it someone who goes through and provides meaningless answers to many questions? Does it include someone who asks stupid, meaningless questions?

I will retire in a year and move here permanent. My GF seems quite content and obviousuly I am pleases with the situation. She doesn't seem to notice the body and even conisders the extra weight as being a sign of health. I guess that means that I can eat well. The fact that I can't make it up a flight of stairs without getting winded seems to raise no concern.

Clearly my abiity to provide a far better lifestyle and future even after i am gone are big players here but there are some other probably lesser factors involved also.

This is not an uncommon occurance here in the Philippines. Basically a 63 YO guy with a 19 YO girlfriend draws no special interest. Possibly a look of uneasy humor from some of the local Pinoy (males).

I wonder what the long term result of such a relationsihp might be. Well - long term being within my life time.

The first surgeon, from New York , says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second, from Chicago , responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon, from Dallas says, "No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: "You know, I like mechanics ... those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

But the fifth surgeon, from Washington D.C , shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."
