A few details about myself,I am 82 years young,retired at 77years and now enjoy being a columnist although I have not contributed much so far,and bye the way i am English.
I am married and my wife is a young bird 76 years and we are in our 57th year of marriage.
We started early as she was 11 years old and I was 15 because my sister married her brother and in the early days we used to wrestle over comics (we got off over doing this which we did not admit until many years later as it was not the done thing in our days),We spent a lot of time together in air raid shelters with the womenfolk as the bombing was very ferocious.
I was called into the Army at 18 years and served with The British Army and also with the Indian in Burma and also sometime with Vinegar Joe Stilwells American Forces where the fighting and conditions were horrendous but the comradeship of all nations were unbelievable.
I arrived back home in 1947 and the reason for being late after the war finished is that I joined one of the searcher teams looking for evidence as to the fate of 330,000 prisoners of War and Civilian Internees missing believed killed.
I married in 1947 and we have 4 children and now are looking for things to do and probably bring a little joy or comfort to our correspondents

I have a male friend who is 39 and has told me that he never wants to get married or have kids. That is fine- for him. But I've told him how someday I want to be in a proper marriage and have children. Well we were talking today and I told him how a medium had read my palm several weeks ago, and told me that I would be having 3 children, (one set of fraternal twins, and a girl). Well this is what my friend said "well you better get started right away, and you'll need to find a husband".
I thought this was a very vindictive thing for him to say. I am only 27 and told him I still have a lot of time before my clock stops ticking. I have a theory on his attitude: two years ago he told me he wanted to sleep with me. I told him I was saving myself for my future husband, and that I wanted kids. This is when I found out that he never wanted to get married or have children. (not that I wanted to be with him anyways).
So my question is, does anyone else think what he said was mean? And do you think he said it to get back at me for not wanting to sleep with him? (link)

Here you have a typical attitude of a lot more men these days who just wants the nuptials of married life but not the commitments.
I should not worry about upsetting him as you say you are not particular of being with him anyway so go out and find someone genuine who wants a women to marry and have kids to grow up together with.

My younger sister constantly bugs me, because I don't have 50 friends like she does. I just have 15, 6 of which I talk to on a *daily* basis. Is it bad that I don't have a million friends like she does, or is she just being a bitch? (link)

A real friend is someone is sincere and you can trust,Quantity does not come into it because even if you only had one who you could discuss you problems with then why worry about your sisters insecure social state where she has to have loads of people around her which I doubt you can call genuine friends

I am having a yard sale. And I told my friend who lives next door, that she had anything she was welcome to bring it over.
The promblem is that she is not only bring things over for her but, she has things her family has asked her to sale and her co-workers.
I asked if she was going to be able to help me. She said she would come over for a little while. But won't be able to stay very long.
I am now overwhelmed, I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old, and a yard sale. The first day my husband has to work so he can't help. Do you think it is right that she is bringing stuff for other people. Without asking me? And if so, how can I get her to understand that it is almost too much for me? (link)

This could be a very ticklish subject if you do not handle it carefully as friends can act very funny if they are being told off about something which they had taken for granted, it could be long lasting.
what you need to do is to explain to your friend the position you are in as far as looking after the other peoples goods and as there are co-workers besides herself suggest to her that they come and help with the disposal of their property, if this fails tell her straight that you cannot do it.after all who wants friends like that

If you are No:-2 on his plaster list what are you worrying about,you are home and dry,if you are too shy to tell him slip him a note detailing your feelings,I am positive you will get the reaction you want.

I have liked this guy for a really long time and i really want to go out with him. He really likes me too. The problem is neither one of us is brave enough to ask the other one out. So do you think i should make the first move or wait for him. I hear him talking about me all the time. What should i do? (link)

Write down your feelings on paper and drop it through his letter box, at least it will be a start and maybe get conversation going or he may develope into your penpal.
Best of luck
