Answer 1

'So, I have the usual socks and underpants for John, the skateboard for Peter and the iPod for Patricia. I think I am done' Mary sat down and heaved a huge sigh of relief - shopping was over, as regards presents for another year. Her husband John's, good-natured joking about his usual presents would be no surprise, but as Mary always said, 'At the rate you go through socks and pants, I always need to get you more by Easter'. Mary was awoken from her day dream by a half familiar voice asking 'May I sit here, if you please'.
Mary looked and was so shocked by whom she saw, that she could not speak. It was a voice from all those years ago, almost twenty, and the person from whom the words came, had not changed one iota.
'Peter', Mary asked 'is it really you?'. 'Sorry' the man said 'my name is Peter alright, but I am sure I would have remembered a face as pretty as yours if we had ever met before'.
The music in the background was playing old classic rock and roll tunes and suddenly 'At the Hop' blared out...........'You can rock it, you can roll it, you can stomp or even stroll it, at the hop, bop, bop...............'. The man turned away, then suddenly returned his stare and blurted out 'Mary, is that you, Mary, Mary. My God, but the years have only made you more beautiful. I saw in the High School Confidential Magazine that you had married. Congratulations'.
Mary blushed at the memories that began to flood her head - of the first time they kissed, the first time.......... 'That's enough of that', she silently scolded herself. 'And two children later' she added. 'Two, well done Mary, I am a bit surprised, maybe I'm amazed, but not shocked. I always thought that you would become a career woman and leave all that motherly stuff to the others'.
'You know, Peter' Mary spoke softly 'I had a feeling that was what you thought of me when we were dating'. 'I must confess' Peter replied 'I did and that is why I broke it off. Come on then, Mary, tell Peter - who was the lucky guy'. Mary replied almost apologetically 'John, John Anderson, you remember'. 'What', Peter almost snorted the name 'that jerk, that nerd - why on earth did you choose him'. 'For the simple reason that he asked me' Mary said in a matter of fact tone. After all you were dating that blonde from down your street'. 'But Mary' Peter almost pleaded 'We were on a break'.
Mary felt herself becoming more annoyed as the conversation continued and decided to bring it to an end. 'Well Peter' she said 'it was nice to see you again after all those years, take care of yourself. Did you ever get married yourself'. 'No Mary' Peter replied after a long silence 'for some unknown reason, I never met the right girl'.
Mary stood up and shook Peter's hand. All she could manage to say was 'Take care of yourself - keep searching'.
As she walked away, the music was playing another old song from the fifties: 'Only you, can make the change seem right, Only you, can make the darkness bright, Only you, and you alone can thrill me like you do, And fill my heart will love, for Only you...................'.
Mary quietly slipped into the ladies toilet where she wiped the tears from her eyes. She was not going to let Peter see how she still felt after all those years.............Wasted years. Socks and underpants indeed....................

Answer 2

Finally, we've crossed each others path again after "all those years ago." I thought we'd never greet again. I thought we'd never be again. I thought I'd never breathe again but now I see you and your standing right in front of me...
I don't know what it is "mabye I'm amazed" at how God has worked things out in such a mysterious way, it's like He said to himself "at the hop" and at a distances time they too will be, for they were, they was and now they are again- through me.

I believe in my heart "we were on a break" that's all it ever was that's all it could be.

"Only you and you alone" know me like you do, from the things that were just "high school confidential" to things that have now long become grown folks business.
I think it's true what they say, don't you? I think they're so right... "You take the good, you take the bad and what exactly do you have? *The facts of life..."

It's funny how life repeats itself, how history is a mystery and chemistry -is you and me, yet then again I do believe if it is love then let it be, set it free, just let it go, let it soar it's wings, let it grow and grow some more but if it's really real, yes- if it's real love, then it'll come back to me.

Answer 3

Only the grumpy and the grasping emerge as monsters. It used to be in them already. The individuals who determine they're above all of it to start with and the retail outlets must be empty for his or her comfort. To h ell with them. I love the crowds at Christmas and the entire recreation, the hustle and bustle. Blessings to EVERYONE (even the grumpy & grasping)

Answer 4

Yes I can.
