An ADMM hater, how is that possible? I can understand not believing this ship or simply ignoring it, but hating it???

I don't understand people who think that humans just stop having sex at some undefined moment when they become "too old." Where's the fun in that? A good majority of us will reach old age and I don't think we will all be sitting in rocking chairs all day and night.
When I was 12, I spent the summer going to lunch once a week with my grandparents and a group of their good friends. The women would all sit on one end of the table and the men on the other. There were probably 7 or 8 couples and me. I will never forget this one woman Madeline and her husband Charlie. They were both very sweet, but Madeline carries herself in an almost regal way. She is oh so graceful and put together. basically Audrey Hepburn at six feet tall and over 90 years of age. Anyway they were talking at lunch one day that summer and she started talking about sex and how much she still enjoyed it. I was traumatized since I was 12 and hadn't even hit puberty yet! lol Without giving details (or if she did, I have blocked them out) she said the Charlie wasn't always as interested anymore so she sometimes took matters into her own hands (which I'm not even sure I understood at the time.) Anyway the other women all like-grandmothers to me, shushed her reminding her I was there, but that moment has stuck out in my mind. lol Probably b/c I need counciling for it, but still. Old people make love. Big deal! lol

My main man would say: what are going to do in the weekends otherwise? -yeah, he can be quite rude...
I don't know why people think sex is only for the young. And how do they define old? When you start to get wrinkles? When you need a Zimmer-frame?
I suppose it is good excersise and no-one is opposed to excersise, right?
Yesterday I read him the passage from CoS in which Minerva and Albus find (in my language his name is Kasper... great, now I don't know the English name...) being Petrified.
He is with me on this now. He wonders how he could have missed it, but I know: he is dyslectic, so he waits for the films... makes it hard to discuss my MMAD theories...

I know an old couple (in their 60s) who are just so cute it is unbeliveable. he calls her baby and she just rolls her eyes, but they are such flirts! We were in a parade in town and George was really dressed up in a tux and she was in a victorian dress. Anyway, she complained that his tie was crooked and he said "Why don't you straighten it for me, baby?" with a little swagger and a suggestive tone. It was too funny and so cute...
What do people think, that when people turn 50 or so they automatically stop having sex? I mean, if the sex is good, why stop?

so true..... My god-sisters parents are totally amazing... they are well over 60 and they are still having sex... I know its true cause last year, when I visited them in Scotland, they were doing it next door... And I was curious enough to ask them.. *blushes*

Maggie said this after Richard had died : "We walked around as a pair in Harry Potter. I always think Prof McGonagall was madly in love with him anyway"  I think we can´t ignore that can we? Lise Hell, no! That's got to be seen as a directive. We would be negligent fans if we didn't expound upon it! ;D On the, 'They might have been lovers, once, but he could never commit!' issue, I think it's more complex than that (or else, why would we bother exploring so many different scenarios!?). I think foci has a point, but I can't deny that I lean more towards Mugglemin's angsty path. Even better; what if Minerva refused Albus' advances? What if she wouldn't be his lover, but loved him too much to leave his presence entirely? Perhaps she tried to leave him, but couldn't do it, came back to Hogwarts seeking to readdress the constant agony of an error she made in her youth. And maybe Albus's own heartache had forced him to change the way he felt about her, in order to survive. And when she returned, they were both desperate to remain close, so never dared to go back to the past and try a different kind of relationship. So now they're happy but always with that nagging doubt and desire tugging at their souls.. Enter the shipper! Hurrah!Oh I love angst! There's an entire plot there! LOL |

Actually, I have a rabid plot bunny about this hiding under my bed...I used to read lots of the Perry Mason books and I'm a huge Perry/Della shipper. In one of the books he proposes and she turns him down because she would rather be his secretary and join him in all his wild adventures than to be his wife and sit at home. I think that would be one way to explain albus and minerva's relationship-she turned him down because she would rather spend her time at his side as a friend than be his wife and never see him.

I read a lot of Perry Mason too and watched the tv series - the colour one, I am way too young for the black-and-white episodes! But I do remember that book: there is something with a suitcase that has the monograms DM - so Perry suggests it should be Della Mason!
Great you read them too!
With all that happened in HBP - I am half expecting to see Minerva with waist-long silver hair with Felix sitting on her shoulder!
