RE: need help

What are you doing involving yourself in this? Ex is ex for a reason…AND, karma is real. If the break-up between her and you was your wish, then you need to step away fully. If you wanted her to stay, and it was her idea to leave, then her chips are falling as they may; the universe is evening the score. It is exponentially inappropriate for you to insinuate yourself into her problems in any way, shape, or form. If you talk to her, make it one more time only, and tell her point-blank that you are NOT facilitating and then block HER. People need to learn their lesson, and the way you’re going about it is NOT helping the process. Get yourself a brand new life. Without THEM.

RE: What's the difference between......

Yes, I know you’re correct. I wasn’t saying otherwise. I wonder, if for safety’s sake, it would be prudent to send a letter to the commerce authorities, because you bring up a very important observation and record.

RE: Just fun

I believe what you want is possible, but extremely rare. All of the women I’ve known in my 60+ years, no matter how independent, etc… want stability and security. Even if they say NSA, they really don’t want that. Women, by and large, want a safe place to land, a nest. Why not reassess your priorities, find a super nice lady (you can do this) and have some permanent arm candy? You might be surprised to find out it works for you. Hint:

There’s always free cheese in a mousetrap.

They’ll hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies, than cross-ties on railroads, or stars in the sky.

Find yourself a forever love, Danny Boy…

RE: What's the difference between......

In America many people still say it, and it continues to be printed on some merchandise and machinery, etc…

RE: What's the difference between......

1. Irregardless
2. Regardless.

1. On accident.
2. By accident.

The #1’s are incorrect.

RE: What's the difference between......

1. “I could care less”
2. “I couldn’t care less”

Most people say #1. It’s incorrect.

RE: The disadvantages about modern life ..

Over-zealous political-correctness. People just waiting for someone to say just the “wrong” thing. Every situation somehow becomes a cause celebre. Road rage— guy in loud truck giving others the finger, revving, shouting profanities…(pulls into his neighborhood pub, goes in..all hugs, now he’s everybody’s best buddy…) Society has gone to the mega-ridiculous.

RE: The Reith Lectures 2022 - AI

Thank you. You understood what I meant. Perhaps I’m in the minority ( or not) but I am inclined to reject, or at least be reluctant, to embrace AI. It has very dark repercussions, in my view. ie, —-“artificial intelligence” is an oxymoron in my opinion.

RE: The Reith Lectures 2022 - AI

First, I googled “Reith” lectures; read up a bit on Lord Reith, BBC commentator. I must say you have high eclectic hopes starting this thread the subject matter is as varied as flower types— just where would one begin? Perhaps you could choose a particular lecture in this genre, and have folks start from there…like, “In what direction do you ( readers) see the recyclables/bio-degradables movement heading?” Otherwise, there’s no focus point, no compass.

RE: Science and technology

BUMP

RE: For or against

yes. I agree…

RE: True or False

The thumber-downs will DEFINITELY not be working for me…because anybody who disagrees with what I said about cell phones at work is NOT DEPENDABLE. You’re fired before you sparked, honey…

RE: Employment

You’re a spunky Colleen— good for you!

RE: Employment

I have always believed that women make great managers. Analytical, less prejudicial than many men, they weigh a situation carefully before action. Not so much shooting from the hip. Overall, more careful.

RE: You Have Your Own Late Night Talk Show. Who Is Your First Guest?

Thanks love. I’ve been a fan of her for years.

RE: True or False

No kidding. Anyone working for me leaves any telephone device at the front office. People are abusing cell phone usage at the workplace. An employer has the right to expect and demand a paid employee’s UNDIVIDED attention. Carrying a cell phone is too much of a temptation - AND, there just aren’t THAT many emergencies. Come on…I understand the opposing argument, however, it can be solved by having the person call the business. Then, administration can decide if it’s important enough to interrupt the work day.

RE: You Have Your Own Late Night Talk Show. Who Is Your First Guest?

Dolly Parton. Hands down. Other guests would be Hugh Jackman, Liam Hemsworth, Sarah Ferguson.

RE: What is your Motto?

I have several…

“Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind, than I am of what is true”.

“Enough is a banquet”.

“Don’t let your simplicity be imposed upon”.

RE: 1000 years ago

Watch a movie titled “Just Visiting”. Two medieval friends are swept into modern Chicago. It is an absolute riot. One of the few movies I would watch more than once. I can’t help but thinking, should the scenario unfold as you describe, that ‘somebody’ would have a heart attack or a severe nervous breakdown. Hell, that happens to some people who are USED to it!

Ridiculous Inflation

Wonderful me too..

Ridiculous Inflation

Good heavens! That IS expensive. I’m so fortunate to have a cooperative duplex—( similar to council house) keeps one of the biggest costs stable. It’s still expensive, though. I have to juggle a bit, scrimp a bit, but I make out fine.

Ridiculous Inflation

I see. Believe it or not, a “branded” pack of cigarettes (20) is now $11.00. When I told a relative in Prague this, she said, “That’s nothing…they’re the equivalent of $25.00 here”. Neither of us smoke, btw. Drinks prices are skyrocketing all over. Incidentally, I’m having to go on an alcohol holiday - some types are causing anaphylactic shock, and it ain’t pretty- so…no cigarettes, no sauce. (I should get rich real soon… )

Ridiculous Inflation

Mo laoch…

Great to hear from ya, ya ole booger…

RE: How do you reply in 3 words to a text from an Ex that reads "I am dating someone better than you."

Actually, silence speaks louder than words. I think not responding at all is the best way to address this. Silence is Golden…

RE: One for the road..

Where have you been, Chara? Not Gael,I hope!

Ridiculous Inflation

A Chefs’ Salad is more than $22.00 where you live? (Wondering if you read what I wrote right…I gave the actual grocery store cost, then the salad cost in a restaurant. Hope this clarifies..)

RE: Showing yourself to be single

Don’t know why it printed twice..

RE: Showing yourself to be single

It’s good to stay optimistic. Read “Desiderata”. It’s always in style

RE: Science and technology

I’m not sure whether it will all pan out. Mother Nature has a very solid way of keeping everything in check. For instance, in order for some regions to expand technically, thousands of flora and fauna must give up their existence. Is this REALLY progress?? By the same token, the population is not ebb/tide; but I hesitate to say much else because it could hurt feelings…and I like to think of myself as a nice guy…but I think everyone “gets” it.

Blessings…
