senior years iphone
I am living in the Google years, no question of that. And there are advantages to it. When you forget something, you can whip out your iPhone and go to Google.

summer winter men
There are plenty of men who philander during the summer, to be sure, but they are usually the same lot who philander during the winter - albeit with less convenience.
romantic hands movie-love
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a cab. And it was like... magic.
senior google sound
The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.
mirrors age trying
That's another thing about being a certain age that I've noticed: I try as much as possible not to look in the mirror.
too-much belief ifs
You can never have too much butter – that is my belief. If I have a religion, that's it,
