It said Sian-Pierre in the video I thought? I figured it could be because the mother was Irish or something. Sian is Jean like Sean is Shawn

Once everything on her bucket list is done, she won't have anything left to live for - just an empty bucket waiting to be kicked.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

When you're depressed part of the despair is wanting nothing. Drawing her out of her dark place, helps her find the spark to want life.

It's from a movie but yeah, it's "List of things do to before I kick the bucket."

Why isn't she retired at that age? Seniors should just be relaxing or do a different job. Is this a USA thing?

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 2

Yes. People don't stop working because we are taught that only working matters. Its very sad here.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

She might not want to. She said her job gave her purpose. My grandma didnt officially retire until 80. She liked working.

Dunno about America but people retire around 60/70 in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

US too, but some people keep a part time job to get them out of the house and socialise.

But she got fired, it wasn't a retirement so there's no pension for her which really sucks

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

That's the worst employer I've ever heard of. Devote your life- take away pension because they get fired. I'm not sure about that.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Especially with that many years of service. Maybe a newbie who's not vested? in the US she would definitely qualify for social security.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What? She gets social security either way.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What ? In Europe, it doesn't matter how the work contract is ended : if you meet the conditions for retirement, you're getting it...

And 55 years of work plus age 75 is far above the requirements, at least in France.

maybe she just didn't want to retire and having the job drove her.

It is here too. You get full social security at 65. Don't know what this guy is talking about.

fantasy but generally openminded, adventurous and respectful. Be willing and prepared to not have sex soon - stranger threesomes are rare.

Really important: don't be homophobic, don't be jealous. Virtually nobody who'd be game for a threesome will be tolerant of those.

Where do you find the poly crowd, though?

Look for poly meet-ups in your area. Search for poly people on dating sites. If you're not in a big city, it's hard, though. It's the 1/
