Another year in life of

[DonH]

Ah so you have to get married for it to be a success.

Not at all! Dawn beat me to it but the definition of success varies from person to person but can also be debated. It’s hard to debate a happy marriage as anythung but a success which is why I used it as my example.

A happy rewarding year or two R could also easily be termed as a success. A single date? Not so much. I just look at everything with a cost versus benefit or risk versus reward bent. And as Butterfly says, age has a huge piece in this. I have no idea how OLD works for a 20 something - although I suspect it’s similar. But I really don’t know. My comments hold for the demo of this section of the boards. It might be different for younger ages. It’s the same with my thoughts on vaccines. The risk versus reward is clearly demonstrated for 60+. It’s very hard to argue. Not the case with children who rarely get sick. Their risk is higher and reward much lower than a 70 year old where any risk is well worth the benefit.

And I have no axe to grind with OLD or no regrets. I’m just trying to warn others. Simple as that. I’m way way way more upset over my life be hijacked by morons the past 2 years - time and lost experiences I can never get back - than I am with OLD. I just know I feel worse and a bit scuzzy when I tried it than I do not trying it. But I don’t even have regrets. It was a life lesson learned that I’m just trying to now pass onto others. Nothing more.
