i am single, 52 & have dogs. never in a real relationship. worked in law enforcement with deep ties to terrorism..brother also in military with ties to terrorism & military. i have a college degree.

t is about the same age but has 4 kids...& a phd. we are from the same area altho living in a diifferent area now (weird right?) we have spent time hashing over the terrorism aspect of things since one of her kids is considering doing the military thing..

we are different religions & my parents were greatly biased & bigots altho i am not.

but we work closely & well together.

different but yet the same. i will never totally understand the kid thing...& that is ok...i never could really given the crap my parents did to me..even if i was a parent..my skew on it would be off.

she has offered to help me learn how to do things my mother should have shown me how to do back as a kid..which still cripple me even now as an adult. & for that i am so grateful.

honestly i think if the relationship is there...the "click"..then i don't think it matters.
