People get excited and want to share their experience. Sometimes, they do not use the right words or say it in the wrong manner, and offend without realizing it.

Uhhh, NO. The ocean is nice for about 3 days. Then it's boring (to me).

You could have spoken your mind. "Well, I do not mind being there a few days in the winter, but it's too hot and humid in the summer for me. When can I visit?"

Wow! Maine & The PNW are very different places. Check out the Olympic Peninsula before you buy that house on the Maine coast.

LOL - I get that here in my 55+ community! Pregnant male seniors. Fortunately most folks leave during the summer and we can enjoy the pool by ourselves in the evening.

Me too. One of the nicer old men at our gym drives a terrific bright-yellow muscle car. He is kind of shriveled-looking, wears an eye patch, and probably would have scared me when I was little, but inside he's only 23. And has a great smile.

My one plea for males, as far as looking at them, is that they not need a bra more than I do!
Pretty much everything else is OK, carry on

I knew a 90 y/o man that drove a Hummer. A very conservative gentleman but having fun in his twilight years. He passed away a couple of years ago and luckily never ran over anyone.

I used to have a brother that wanted to control every aspect of the lives of me, sister, parents, his grown children and his ex-wife. Ex-wife dumped him and when parents died my sister and I disowned him. It was that bad. Life has been much better these past 8 years.
Some times you just have to distance yourself from the negativity in life regardless of what others may think.
Cheers!

He needs one of those belly-dancer bras with jingle bells on it. At least he isn't old and dangly!
