Re fran Sounds like you and I are both feeling about ready to throw in the towel Maybe throwing in the towel on the sexual part for now. And then again who cares what BB thinks about being too old for sex and just see haw far I can go with some romance. But there is consideration and rejection to contend with. sounds like an old story? It is.
no-one gets to tell the driver what to do unless there's a 10-ton truck bearing down on you that he/she hasn't noticed. I go for that. BB gets worried if we are there with less than 5 or 10 minuets to spare but also starts jabbering about the other party, will they be late or on time. It works best if both parties are about 6 minuets early, but I can't control when other couples arrive.
we pay 16p per kilowatt/hour for natural gas. 16p is about 25 cents I think? Natural gas is measured in BTU or Dekatherm IE. A measure of the heat content value of gas. Gas usage is determined by multiplying the Mcf used by the heat content value of the gas.
Fran, just curious. I see that most things cost more in the UK than in the US except health care items. We pay lots for drugs and doctor/nurse/hospital things.
I ask about prices because in some countries it is costly to drive but something else is less expensive. When people talk about how they live or what they do, I like to know a little about costs and how much work they have to do to have those things.
I saw a post from Russia about going to the ballet, a play, or a museum for a couple of dollars/euros but in New York they are $85.00.
Every once in a while, some parts I order come packed in newspapers. I look at what is going on and what things cost, that is if I can read anything. Japanese yen is easy to convert to US dollars.
I have mostly been reading your thread. No advice but I do have sympathy for your situation. Disagreements about kids, money and religious teachings, the big three.
