Guys that looked like girls, girls that looked like men were a close second.

Our family was Methodist, and mom was pretty serious about it, but we were OK with our catholic relatives.  Not sure to this day how that happened.

I think I had an aunt and uncle that were atheist, but that was NEVER discussed.  My aunt would go to church with us when they were visiting (they lived 1500 miles away, visits were very infrequent) he never did.  If they were atheist, I'd suspect my uncle's legendary cheapness played a large part in it.

I've mentioned before, my mom had a special horror of what other people were thinking about us.  In reality, I think more people should have been worried what my mom was thinking about them.

Any chance we had the same mom?  Actually no, mine wasn't the driving force for church that yours was.  But we were also Methodists.

Do you miss the free love era when no one had to worry about AIDS?

There were always STDs.

When I met my wife 30 odd years ago I was only worried about herpes. I knew the other STD's were out there but I naturally avoided sailors.

Did you wait until marriage?

Why would I do that? Buy a pig in a poke without a poke? I don't think so.
