LoL, I think talking on a blog about topics not related to the OP is also rude, and begs for deletion. If someone has a different topic to discuss, there is always create one's own blog.
Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, DVDs from all the movies I didn't bother to go see this summer, a warm friend for the cold nights, and of course, snow shoveling.
So really, you are in search of a Dog fearing man.
It won't be me. I have no fear of them. I have scars from many bites by different dogs. They have sharp teeth and strong jaws, but their shoulder and hip joints break easily and their ribs can't take a good bear hug from behind.
Now if you had said a tiger fearing man, maybe that would be me.
OW, let's face it, if some strange male had walked up to me in a store and without warning grabbed and hugged me, I'da probably smashed his jaw in the next second or two, without even waiting for someone to translate what he said. Officer, he assaulted me first, check the store video...
Also you are a little detached from reality if you are thinking there are thousands of American youth needing help with Immigration to avoid deportation. Reality is there is not a single one. The key word of course is American. Likewise most Americans speak English and the youth here are taught computers and how to use them in school. So nothing I provided is needed by an American youth.
You are also detached from reality in imagining she is the only one I am helping.
Yeah I was gonna debate about the life saving crews, the guys going way back to the 16th century who would row out to ships in trouble and pull folks off. Agreed they were local folk and not nationally organized (so too for the first lighthouses of that era). But I always in my heart view them as the ancestors of the Coast Guard rather than the more fiscally driven and military Coast Watchers that came later.
You would have loved the Southbound car I saw on I 81 yesterday up just above the rest area. You would have loved the fact it was in the Northbound side just barreling along on the shoulder trying to keep pace with the cars on the Southbound side (o.e., he was doing at least 65) and ignoring the horns and flashing lights of the oncoming traffic. There were about a dozen VA and West VA State trooper cars headed North to deal with it.
I think if you are there to dance and some older than George Burns type comes up to you and wishes to dance with you, maybe what should be important is how good a dancer is he?
Yeah, like when AF tested their anti-ballistic missile laser in the skies over Hawaii five years ago and as far away as Louisiana and Mississippi thousands of starlings and other high fliers dropped from the sky with their retinas burned out.
Sigh, well I have taken many women home from bars in my youth, but the next morning I would be less than thrilled with the new friendship. Simply put, bars are about first impressions. You learn much more over the next few days and often wind up wondering why you thought she was cute.
Supermarkets still work for me. No I don't run my cart into theirs. Instead I just look in their cart and ask them about a product. 'Hi. I see you are buying that new soup. I've been meaning to find someone who has tried it. Is it any good?'
Then go on from there. Or not, depending on how they respond. LoL, more than once I hear, 'no it is terrible, but my husband/kids loves it.'
So then I back off. But sometimes I hear, 'oh yes it is good. I find it a perfect product because the can is just sized right for only feeding one.'
Now I know she is unattached. I may just jump in depending on the smile and tell her she looks great, or I may open a general discussion about other products. If she is interested that will come forth, if I am not her type, that too will come out in posture, expression and tone. Either way, in a minute or two I either have a phone number or a date, or I know to wander on to another aisle. I once had good success by telling a woman reaching for a box that my last girlfriend did not like that particular brand of sanitary napkin and explained why (the adhesive backing tore the clothing). That led to some interesting discussions and later a phone number and a few good dates.
Also good of course are music recitals, concerts, art shows and museums. Church is a waste of time because it is a place full of gossip and the women in there are more concerned about how the other parishioners will view them flirting with you to let their hair down in there and talk frankly.
Don't waste time at art shows or concerts if you don't like the artist/musician. You want someone whose tastes are the same as yours. I know one man who met his dream girl at a gun show. He was looking at the Colt Peacemakers and noticed her looking at the Ruger Blackhawks. Instant love on both sides.
Stringman, it is not a guiding principle. It is just a motto some clever Christian Congressmen had enough votes together to force it to be put on some coins back in the 1800s. Later when the Congressional membership shifted the other way, it was removed, then it shifted back to Christian domination and it came back on the coins. Back and forth it goes. Just a stamp on some coins, hardly a guiding principle. If you wish to learn guiding principles, read The Federalist Papers. Let us know what page you find we should trust God on.
Thanks to all. I will pass on your congratulations to her on Tuesday. We have plans then to wander around the site of the Battle of Sharpsburg (aka Antietam Creek, also the site of Bloody Lane). Since she now lives and works an hour or so away from me rare opportunities to do interesting fun stuff together are seized on by both of us. This will tie in with one of her college classes on American history and I am familiar with the site and how it went down. Hopefully rain will not force a postponement.
For those not knowing, the Battle at Antietam was the single bloodiest day of the US Civil War, with almost 23,000 soldiers killed in a single day of intense fighting along a thin, wavy line only about mile long.
The unemployment crisis was inevitable before Obama ever took office. Quite simply we could not financially afford to go to a pointless war with, then rebuild and prop up Iraq. I knew that then, but no one wanted to hear it. The money diverted and spent in pursuit of that war came from other programs and President Bush's decision to spend the money on war and and foreign economies very much helped set the stage for the 2007/2008 financial collapse. Way back in 07 I forecast it didn't matter whether the winner was Republican or Democrat, either way the economic ripples of what we chose to do in 2002 would be devastating by 2012. Sadly I was correct. Doubly sadly our downward economic spiral has not yet bottomed out IMO.
Name one current candidate that has proposed a serious, detailed plan for returning the US to heavy industry production or regaining the frittered away leadership of international commerce.
May as well write in Kim Kardashian for President for all the good the other candidates offer in terms of jobs and continued economic growth.
I can;'t see having concrete in my home. So it would be yard furniture. But I think the wood is too nice for yard furniture. It won't last in our winters and it would bake in the summer time.
How much would I pay if I wanted it as yard furniture? Well, concrete stuff should be really cheap. What'd it cost to make? A dollars worth of concrete into a mold? On the other hand, shipping concrete all the way from Vietnam? Yowza! It may be more cost efficient to ship just the wood parts and combine them with concrete upon arrival.
The competition of course is plastic yard furniture which rarely rots and comes in any color. Inside the home I would expect to see either all wood, or wood and an attractively finished metal, even polished aluminum or stainless steel tubing or epoxy coated. Something light and sturdy. But never concrete. Jails get concrete furniture. I have a home, not a prison.
How much would I pay? I look maybe $5 - $10 for the concrete part, and the bulk of the cost dependent on the type and grain of the wood. And there we hit the problem. Pretty wood doesn't last long outside. So I wouldn't be paying for a $70 hunk of wood that gets rained on. The second problem of course is most folks with their own homes are quite capable of mixing and pouring some concrete. We don't do it much because it is a lot of bother, but we all know how much a sack of Quikrete costs and that is the problem when you look at homeowners. Apt dwellers don't know nothing, so they would probably pay more for that.
Sorry if this isn't a good feedback but I am trying to be honest.
In 2043 an asteroid will destroy the moon. Many lunar fragments will rain down on the Earth causing huge tidal waves and earthquakes and dust clouds blocking the sun. By 2046 most of humanity (and many plant and animal species) will have died in the cold and famines that followed. Although the sky will begin clearing in 2052, by then there will be fewer than 10,000 humans left on the entire planet. In many ways their lives will be fairly easy as they will have inherited the technology existing at the beginning of the catastrophe and they will be so scattered the competition for resources will be very slight. Although everyone will have plenty of oil and gasoline a lot of humanities time will be spent planting and attempting to raise enough green plants to replace some of the atmosphere that was ripped away by the collisions with lunar rock. By 2060 it will have been confirmed that without the moon not only had many much of the land mass sunk into the sea due to the lack of tides, but also Earth's orbit had changed as well as the other planets. New longer years had begun. In 2064 it was agreed by the survivors that an attempt would be made to place much of humanities history and knowledge on glass pages which would be launched into deep space in a rocket with a beacon on it, so that maybe some future spacefaring race would perhaps find it and learn that Earth once both existed and also held people. Inside 10 years it is believed the new orbit would have the Earth too close to the sun for humanity to survive and also coming close to Mars in the winter. In 2065 the last 800 survivors watched the rocket lift off, then after a night of partying and revelry and good will they all drank poison.
Yeah she means the dentist. Despicable 'hunt' in every way. I am hoping Zimbabwe will find there was an illegal action on his part and not just leave it all on the hunt guides and land owners. A lot will depend on how they describe his actions and comments in the days before and who it was who proposed trying to destroy the radio collar they found on the lion. Noting also his initial facebook pretense of being a successful mighty bow hunter.
Actually this cell phone thingie was a dream of Tesla back in the early 1900s (and the rest of his life thereafter). He called it a personal communicator. He just couldn't get any of the big financial names to underwrite the cost of building the system from scratch. Of course once he died without heirs the US Patent Office allowed AT&T to repatent many of the things Tesla had already patented and exploit them. This way they didn't have to pay him a dime.

Dunno, not much caring. I blocked her emails a long time ago.
