Why ask why?

Hello SA,

You should have been in my shoes when she asked me what I needed it for.

Why ask why?

Hello Dedo,

You do not have to admit to anything. But, do you have a hairdryer?

RE: Some frightening statistics on mental health

Jim..


I was going to question that low 12% figure, but I know better.

RE: Consumer rights...

Hello LFA,

I am not aware of your consumer laws over here, but I was assume it is legal. You were evidently happy with the price, otherwise you would not have purchased it. At least, one could argue that.

If you feel their practices were unfair, I would not shop there again. I think that is all anyone could do. Or....not shop there again and also try to return the item for a refund.

Hello Teen,

I may have missed it....how much do you like books?

RE: Anyone play the stock market?

Hello Legs,

I don't really dabble with the stock market directly. I picked a good mutual fund and let them do all the leg work for me.

But, the US stock market is on shaky ground right now. Don't put more in it than you can afford to lose (at least for the short term). Even though, I doubt you will really lose anything (at least in the long term).

I had a professor that was big time into the stock market. One could even label him as obsessed with it. But, he told the class that even from the times of the Great Depression, the stock market averaged a return of around 10%. So, even if you have money in it and the bottom falls out....hold strong and don't sell.

RE: What is Thought?

My answer also answers your dream scenario. Dreams are said to reflect our real life experiences and dramas.


But, since nobody knows for sure about dreams and thoughts....we can just stick to speculation. I do not think science currently has a way of proving or disproving any answer that is given.

RE: What is Thought?

Hello Soc....a thoughtful question.


I think thought is framed by our personal life experiences and guided by the nature of our being.

If I recall, I think I remember reading somewhere were nobody really knows exactly where it comes from. Some suspect it originates from the spiritual world.

RE: Ideal Man, Ideal Woman…or Settle for 2nd Best

What's the matter with a mustache. I would settle for a woman with one.

Ha Ken! That is perfect. You know, I need to start paying attention to the lyrics of songs more often. Some great advice there.

Thank you for sharing. :)

Usha....check your beauty routine.... .....and you do not want them to do that...... .....are you up to no good in this department? Please tell me you are not drinking blood or something to maintain your youthfulness and your exquisite beauty.


Just joking about the blood thing...but not about your youth/beauty.


But....so right you are Usha. I think as time goes on, we will all become a little more keener with the "true beauty" department.



<---u drink beer, right?

LM....once the mustache shows up, I would suspect one of two things happening.....like you said, ego becomes ground.....or.....if they do not understand, depression could set in. But, I will say, reality might kick in.

CC...

In essence, that is what it is...being spoiled all their lives. It is sad...the people who really care for them (close friends and family) wind up being the "bad guy" in their eyes.


Thank you CC.

<---- if you drink beer.....if not--->

LM,

I am glad to hear you enjoyed the read. Yes. Like with George, people can do things to "manipulate" other people's perspectives of them. I have seen this already.

Thank you.

Hey Robert,

I totally agree with you...on your first statement. I think it is really smart to tread carefully when finding a woman. It might be even smarter, to tread extra carefully if you are looking at an attractive older woman who is single. For me, the question of "why"....comes to mind.

Thanks Robert.....

To all of the single people....I hope we find somebody with a genuine loving heart and somebody we can live a peaceful happy life with....of course, drama free and somebody who can give genuine compassion to their partner.

okay...phone rang as I was making my final edits...


...just my 599 cents. lol

RE: Essential advice for men

Legs,

My ex and I were having a heated conversation and I rolled my eyes at her. That made her realize she was not being reasonable.

RE: Inside a Buddhist Offering Room

Hello Tat,

Here is the U.S., life is not like it was just 15-20 years ago. There are not many places you can go in public that does not have cameras. It is good....but like you said, sad too.

RE: Words Of Wisdom

Geez....from my statement, you would think I did not pass the 2nd grade in school....but, you get what I am trying to say.

RE: Kissing frogs

So CH...you are telling me that all my wedding plans I made for us on April 1st 2016 were for nothing?

Who are "they"?

Thanks all for the comments. I did read them all and do appreciate them. :)

Hello CH,

I am happy for your son and you.


Not sure how my name got brought into this....maybe it is another johnny?

RE: Break-up in Relationship and Divorce

DC....hey, I am just saying.

It would add up and make sense for the conclusion of the survey.

RE: Break-up in Relationship and Divorce

I would be curious as to know which gender takes the vows of marriage more seriously....if there is a way of getting an honest answer to that.

RE: Spiritual Awakening is Awakening from the Dream of

Hi L.L & Call..


I was going to say it sounded like something Tolle would say. Good stuff Call....thanks for sharing it.

Something interesting happened yesterday

Ed....I feel the same way. Thanks for sharing....interesting lifestyle some of those famous people carry.

RE: So...?

I learned the other night the importance with NOT passing on the right with a two lane highway.

I was following two cars at night. The first car had to stop all three of us because he was making a left turn and waiting for oncoming traffic to pass. Just as we were slowing to a stop, there was a person riding a bike on the right hand shoulder. I thought to myself, thankfully the guy in front of me did not decide to pass on the right.

It is illegal to do, but I see many people, in so much of a hurry, that they do pass on the right a lot.

Given the angle the biker was in position to me...(I am assuming the guy in front of me also)....and with the dark, I had no clue he was there.

I don't know about that. (me looking fit).... I really hope that our younger members of society are not 100% sheep....and can discern between reality and what they see on television sometimes with the paid participates being paid to act in extremes to draw in viewers.
