Practically all "troubles" can be solved with $, time, and love. Problems is with not enough $ and timeRemember, two lovers = four times the troubles. It's an exponential thing.

Ach der liber, some thoughtful responses, and some in jest (I hope!).
Ran into this same "love dilemma" in the movie "Dr. Zhivago" ('65) where the main character was in love with both his wife, and his gal-on-the side for different reasons.
And as shared, time/place/circumstance can come into the picture, esp with those caught up in a traumatic event like "war"!
I think boredom also might be a mitigating factor.

You know your old when you find a new song on utube only to realize it was put on there 12 yrs ago ! Lol
Hey! Give yourself credit! At least it came out in this century.
Signed, an ancient fart.
I'm so ashamed of the voices in my head.... and myself. I gave up on trying to accomplish anything outdoors with the wind. Just too much. So, the nearby Dunks is just way too close and convenient and that's where I went. While sitting here, a little man (is that the proper term now since "midget" is considered offensive?) entered and went right to the men's room which required him to walk past me. He had an angry look on his face and as passed me, the voices, all in unison sang "and he's half the man he used to be". Somehow, I managed to stop myself from laughing until I heard the door close and even then to stifle it. I think it had more to do with his expression than size alone. All of the voices are grounded for week!
The wind is so brutal it knocked over the gas price sign at BJ's. There were concrete blocks on top of the feet which didn't help in the slightest.
While paying a bill at a busy diner I said “ you folks are busier than a one armed paper hanger “ I heard a laugh and when I turned around there was a man at the counter with one arm , then he gave a big belly laugh obvious got a kick out of the uncomfortable look on my face ! lol

Much like a couple of Christmases ago when I was at a home for the elderly (volunteering), sitting at a table sharing thoughts of past carols. And when it came my turn, I mentioned the song, "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth". The aged gent across from me then smiled, revealing two missing front teeth! And with that smile, he seemed to enjoy my choice of songs. I was a little quieter after my remark.
Q
Listening to The Who, I am so glad they recorded a lot their songs before the metric system. Can you imagine "I can see for kilometers and kilometers and kilometers...."? Or how about the lines from "Magic Bus", "I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile, your house is only another
1.609269391696169939 kilometers"?
1.609269391696169939 kilometers"?
Centuries ago barbers also acted as medieval doctors. They would do bloodletting to drain the body of disease (so they thought). Red represents blood, white is for the bandages used afterwards, and blue is for blood left in the veins (oxygenated blood is red). The downward spiral of the sign represents blood flow in the body (heart to toes).Found out on Saturday last, why the white/red/blue colours were used on the old barber signs. Got this from my hair cutter.
Am I the only who didn't know this meaning?

Because the official name of Holland is the Netherlands.
The term "Dutch" comes from a Proto-Germanic word meaning "of the people". It shares a root with the German word Deutsch.
A lot of people think that Keith Richards will be the last of the 60s rockers to pass away. My money is on Roger Daltry. Roger did less drugs than everyone else. Of course, he did some, but not nearly as much as the rest. He also took better care of himself than the rest. Just my take and I could be wrong.

Hey, what about Mick J.? He really can't afford to pass on!
With at least ten official gals, and untold others, and I think about 6+children to "look after"...the music has to keep playing.
FWIW
