According to your definition of cougar, I don't qualify, as I was younger than 40 when Douglas and I started dating. As for cradle robbing, I don't think so.

I think it means we are wise women. When we find the right one, we don't get tangled up with what others may say. We go for it

Here's what wikipedia has to say on their page on "Age disparity in sexual relationships" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar_...29#Slang_terms):

Cougar—a woman over 40 who sexually pursues younger men, typically more than eight years her junior. The term appears to have been coined by Canadian website Cougardate.com and has been used in TV series, advertising and film. The 2007 film Cougar Club was dedicated to the subject and in Spring 2009 TV Land aired a reality show called The Cougar.

E.S., check out Phesina's post - a woman over 40. You made it just under the wire

But you know....this still leaves my original questions unanswered.

The older woman is called a cougar...what is the younger man called?

Other than very fortunate??

so to get back on point....looks who was irritated by hecklers at town hall meetings...in fact having someone thrown out!!

PHOENIX — Sen. John McCain met with an angry crowd at a town-hall meeting about health care reform Wednesday, sometimes having to fight to talk and telling one woman who wouldn't stop yelling that she had to leave.

The Arizona senator hadn't yet opened up the meeting at McCain's central Phoenix church to questions when one audience member continuously yelled over him.

"You're going to have to stop or you're going to have to leave," McCain told the woman. When security guards approached to escort her out, he told her "Goodbye, see ya" to a round of applause.

Now...I am going to sit back and wait for those who were so incensed by the treatment of people at town hall meetings to chime in. After all...this woman just wanted to be heard...right?
