I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic, so I’d love to believe in the idea of soul mates, but I also look at it more like Sabrina and some of the others have. I like the idea of a puzzle piece, but that’s not quite how I feel either. I think I’m a fairly independent, well-rounded person, and I can’t say that my life is ‘missing’ something just because I’m still single. I do want someone to ’share’ my life with, and enrich it beyond what I have now, but if that never happens, I’ll be O.K. with that too.

I’m probably in the minority, but I actually like Hugh Hefner–NOT, however as he is now (he does strike me as bit of an old geezer with the ‘bunnies’ around him), but in pictures of him when he was MUCH younger, I thought that he was quite attractive then. I do feel that age is mostly a number, but when it gets into the ‘ewwww’ factor, I’d say that it’s too big of gap.

My Aunt Nea married a younger man when I was a young girl. It was shocking in the 70’s to marry someone almost 10yrs younger.
Now that she is in her late 70’s and he is 70- not so shocking.

My sister will have 30 yrs with her lovey hubby come Christmas. They are the only soul mates I believe in.

And I agree with Ellen on the whole Suri thing- she’s his mini me. snicker!

I haven’t really thought about soul mates.

My best friend and her husband are 12 years apart in age. Next month will be their 14th Anniversary. I was more concerned that they had known each other less than a year before they got married then the age difference.

Some old/younger couples just give me the creeps. I think it has to do a lot with the couple. I went to the post office the other day had three boxes and three small envelopes. this older man came running up to open both doors for me. I think he was in his early 60’s very nice looking and polite. I can overlook several years for being treated nicely.

I like Rachel’s puzzle pieces. I don’t think there is the “one” out there but someone that fits.

Soul mates are fine it’s when people say their mates are their best friends. It seems like redundantly stating the obvious. I like my friend Jennie’s age old saying: Every pot has a cover!

Did anyone see Tom on Oprah? I never watch Oprah (coz I am never home) but if someone did - please tell me - how did it go? I am assuming his b$tt was glued to the couch this time

Happy anniversary, Rachel!
