I wonder how many of these things men over 40 in Rockford still have in their collection.

There are certain pinnacles in a man's life. When you reach particular age levels, you are expected to act, dress, and talk in certain ways. It seems like I never fit into that scenario. I can imagine many men in Rockford feel the same way as me, but I'm sure the women of Rockford wish we did.

According to bestlifeonline.com
