OK, this was a bad idea. I can't figure out what everyone
is saying. I can't see the text on the right side of the
the page frustrated


Did you adjust your horizontal view?

Maybe it's your browser? Do you have IE or Firefox?

I have IE and see the screen just fine.


I see it good now too, I bagged Google Chrome, back to IE, but you tube ain't gunna like me now.
I have yet to see a setting for horizontal view in here anywhere frustrated

This is the only website that does this.
I wish they would lose that damm black border.
I upgraded to google chrome for you tube, and
this is the result of that I guess. Dennis

that happens to me on occasion it is a glitch...just hit select all and it wont blend in anymore.

If all fails hold down
the Ctrl and hit the A key it will
highlight the whole page and you will
be able to read all the words...

Or if you hold down the Ctrl & Alt
key and roll your mouse roller it
will adjust the page for you once
all the text is with the white area
then let it go.... click on the
page and it should stay that way for
you...


Wow ! You just taught me some new tricks !
Now I have to go back and get google chrome again, so my you tube stuff will work. Im not real good at this puter stuff.

I'm in my 50's and don't mind looking like I am. Aside from coloring the grey in my hair, I'm OK with being me. I would hope that it would be my personality that would win people over and not my looks. Looks will continue to fade but the essence of who I am will be the same until the day I die.

Pardon me, but the pic I see appears to be that of a woman in her 30's or something. Is that an old pic or what ? Dennis

LOL. The pic is my face but the bod is from "face in hole" website that a fellow mingler posted. If you go to my profile you will see recent pics of me--not that far off from the pic you see but pics that are close ups

Is it just me ?
When I was younger, people my own age, looked my age to me.
Now at 57, people my own age, look older than me, IMO.
I suppose I look their age to them, but my brain hasn't adjusted yet I suppose. I feel like im in the black hole of life...
At first, I thought I was going crazy, but then I started noticing other stuff, like music interests. Im still into AC/DC, Johnny Winter, Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, The Doors, etc... Am I some weird old guy who never grew up, or just set in my ways ? I hope im just firmly set in my ways. I don't wanna be some old weird dude bigsmile


I enjoyed reading your thoughts. flowerforyou

I am 44 but I don’t feel 44. Most of my friends are in their early to mid 30s. I exclusively date guys 12-15 years younger. I hate saying it but most guys my age look to be 50 or older. At some point, some men stop taking care of themselves. I know men probably think the same about women but I don't date women so I can't comment! laugh

I don’t have children nor do I want children; therefore, guys my age are generally not on the same page as me because the majority has kids.

In reference to music, I had to giggle because I think of the bands you listed as “old people” music! My choices are Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Hollywood Undead, Five Finger Death Punch, etc.

I gravitate towards people with whom I have more in common – and if the age-set is quite a bit lower than so be it! I don’t look at “age” when I choose my friends and lovers. I look at happiness and commonalities.

It’s a good thing to think of yourself as being young. I love acting like a kid but still having the resources to be responsible. The glory of being older is having the common sense to party your azzzz off and still pay the bills. drinks

I’ll admit to being set in my ways on a few situations but having an open mind is part of why a person still feels young. I’m sure you have that essence as well. winking

Don’t dwell of this situation – just have fun! Connect with people YOU wish to connect with and enjoy the ride! :thumbsup:



That sounds good to me ! Maybe im not goin crazy.
Im gunna just keep being me :banana:
Oh, I don't party anymore... no more hangovers for this dude.
I just ride and kick back alot these days.
When the chores are done, this dude is out riding, and enjoying the beautiful Northern California forests. No more drinks

with technology and surgery being what it is,, some older people are aging slower,,,,


with gluttony and the american diet and lifestyle being what it is,, some younger people are aging faster...


I totally suck at guessing age, and its probably the reason I dont pay much attention to biological age. I am much more apt to 'match' with adults based upon their emotional and intellectual maturity and their 'general' health. I dont spend so much time thinking about their biological age. As to the music, I can appreciate most genres and I find things to like about my kids music,, but my preference is still gonna be those songs I grew up with...

Im terrible at guessing peoples age also. I ride by a high school, and wonder what all the junior high school kids are doin there. hahaha !
Had a guy I thought was maybe 60/65, tell me he was 82 the other day.
Guys always seem to look younger to me than they really are, but women tend to look older than they are to me for some reason. Weird.

Hummmm have thought the same thing and well starting to see Judy's point here on dating younger. Seems to me that most of the men that are 40 look my age and the ones my age look in their 60's a some of times.

Now before anyone gets defensive I did say most and sometimes....

I've always dated those my age or older but honestly the ones younger are looking much better to me shshsh...bigsmile
rofl rofl rofl shes going cougar!!!!!!!!!!!!rofl rofl rofl

op well ive had those thoughts since i was hmm 35? and even the women my age looked 10 yrs older back then. almost all of them did. its a little better now with the women maybe only half or little less look older. i suppose lol< maybe im aging nowlaugh > however the opposite sex well um... i guess in looks age wise i may match up to about a 38 yr old guy.< that looks average for his age>
