Thanks for the greet memory boost, T. With my dad, now gone almost a decade, it was hitting the baseball. Usually, when dropped from his hand and hit away, cleared the fences, and we just began letting the smallest guy (guess who?) just stay beyond the fence, to just throw it back in. He had many good qualities, but was a product of his time and culture, as many will understand. And Biff, what's this soft dough boy stuff all about? Bet I could arm wrestle you with both hands tied behind my back.
HW. Yes, biology seems to be destiny. I understand how practically ANY response to a male will, in many cases, enable the lower hunting brain to become engaged. Probably a good policy not to kindle any unwanted fires, in the kindly service of politeness. Not everything Granny taught us once we are out in the world works. I try to answer all likes, and notes of interest/introduction, but usually say that we aren't a match, if it looks like it' s so. Often also try to say something kind, usually that the age difference is too great, which usually is actually the truth. Imagine that, a man only partially lying. Still work to do on the Karma generators.
H. All good points here. But for me, one of the best was said by war Criminal Henry Kissinger. Power is the best aphrodisiac. Political, social. intellectual, financial, athletic, musical, etc. Different females are attracted to some more than others on the list.
Let's all ask riz, as I do many times, directly or indirectly, just how comfortable he would feel, writing as he does here, about pols elsewhere, only focusing instead on even low level party pols in the PRC. C'mon, rizlerboy, just a few posts about Tiannemen, or Artist Wei, or bridges to nowhere, or connected developers getting peasant farmland for greedy development, the arrests of the two Canadian diplomats, the pushy elbows in the SCS, and many more. We are waiting.
Yes, P. Many of the religious men in my church as a young boy were quite amazing. The correlations were quite high, one heard tell by both some men's wives, and certainly from some Aaltar boys, between their bodies, and their abilities to perform many interesting acts. Thankfully, acts much different, one hopes, from the fun and harmless things your nice Father Vonhoegen does with free time. We need more like him, and fewer of our sort.
All. Ach, was, der Wein ist gut....Ich brauch' keine' neuen Hut... Setz' mir den alten auf....Ehe dass ich Wasser sauf'. Old drinking song with old hats theme. "The wine is wonderful, Who needs a new hat, Will use the old one, Before I drink (as animals) water"
Er, ah, that would be "effect", for certain northern nursies who like such scrutiny, just somehow to bolster their insecurity over being the hairdressers of medicine. Did I really write all that?
Yep, LJ. These dems are used to our side cringing in fear of not being liked, or worse, called all those words ending in "-phobic". There's a new sheriff in town---drives 'em all crazy. See my Typically Trump brilliant idea for the wall and subsequent CONTROLLED-LEGAL guest worker program, elsewhere in blog here on this topic of the welcome wall.
Tantos idiomas, amigo! Und dazu sogar Deutsch. Best of luck. But perhaps not the Yanks. Less ideal than others for anything to do with languages. Exceptions exist.
Biff, gotta start reading more carefully. I misread that some store Santa told the kids he wasn't real. Alzheimers medicines are getting better every year, so perhaps there's hope.
Had he done that to our twins at that age, the proper course would have been to tear him a new butthole, and stuff it with his scratchy fake beard. VERY fake.
H, couldn't agree more. But adopting a human isn't entered into lightly. Recall all those nice parents who got killed by a young man they got from Romanian orphanages, when he was old enough to use a big kitchen knife. I even have to watch my adopted pups carefully. Our ten stone Bravo could do lots of damage, if not raised well.
Yes, LJ. just another item to add to the "He's so different list." A few, such as the narcissism, excess tweeting, and occasional mouth, need continued gentle challenge, counseling and slow improvement. However, on balance, precisely these personality trait anoyances likely have contributed greatly to his personal successes (and a few failures) of our brilliant President Trump. Lots of evidence based data here, and striking examples. But who really thinks the current tumult of the Chinese FINALLY beginning to hear our VALID concerns about almost silly restrictive/espionage trade practices would have started without it? Same with immigration, and lots more, in the interests of American workers, and many others.
Predictable Canuck nursie reflexively driven response. Cavorts with, but doesn't at all look like, all those hopeless lonely females. Goddess hasn't been kind to most.
Yep, predictable. If our FLOTUS looked like Frau Merkel, these hopeless, lonely, unattached TDS afflicted females would probably be a bit kinder to her.
Quite, LJ. I recall a line from a famous actress/singer. Might have been that hot Kate Smith, but correct me if I err. "I've been poor, and I've been rich---rich is better". But the beautiful and multitalented FLOTUS, dear wife of out brilliant President, probably could have married any number of powerful men. University graduate, multilingual (in the EU sense), nice family, demure--yet not overly quiescent, and easy on the eyes. So many angry, hate speech filled, unloved liberal women say terrible things about her. I've just listed all their reasons for being such sorry witches, in this little regard.
RE: Is This Law And Order?
Hey, CF. All good points. Yep, no shortage of sociopaths out there and some tend to populate certain professions more than others.
