RE: Dow Gains 10,000th Point !!! Since President Trump Was Elected After Democrats Warned It Would Crash

The dollar itself looks a bit weak though - it has softened against all major currencies

RE: Opening Your Eyes

I suppose it depends what wakes me - the alarm clock or simply running out of sleep (which I do on Sundays and it is always a treat) and maybe also how I slept. If it was one of those occasional nights where I was still grumpily awake at 4 in the morning and finally dropped off I want to smash the alarm clock

The alarm clock at an unexpected time, now that's always exciting because there's always a reason hup hup hup hit the shower boil the kettle let's go go go!

If it is the cat yowling the eyes are fully open as I leap up and search for shoes to throw.

Most of the time it's a non-event. Back in my days of getting up at a horrible time to go to work I had a clock radio set to a classical music radio, it seemed the easiest way to let the morning happen, but now I only need to wake at 9 and often wake before the alarm anyway.

Of course in winter I'll snuggle until my bladder says that's it, up we get. The bedroom is dark so eyes open, eyes shut, not much difference...

RE: Stunning Landslide Conservative Defeat Of Socialists In UK Spells Doom For American Democrat Party

It does boil down to leaders. The Labour party (that's the left) leader is a brass-plated moron who cannot even understand his own budgets finances or policies but had a solid following of not very clever people and kept saying 'the British people' adored and supported him.

He was wrong. All too many of the people who have historically shared his political leanings couldn't stomach his idiocy enough to vote for his side. Sad.

Make sure you pick the right precedent here.

RE: Love Hate Relationship

I have the absolute opposite of a smart house when I switched to a new router I had to let my phone know. That was it. If there's anything else affected I haven't found out yet but I did switch a couple months ago.

I'm surprised there isn't a little Alexa-type robot that can buzz around sorting it all out?

RE: It's Friday...

Oddly I've never had bad Friday 13ths but I think I relax too soon had some truly bad Monday 16ths.

RE: why people never meet on connecting singles

Hello Molly

RE: why people never meet on connecting singles

I've met over a dozen people from CS.

Not only me - two marriages that I know of and lots of relationships. Some still working some failed.

A lot of people here are crackpots some are fine a few are great. Bit like life, really.

RE: cryogenics: my coolest blog ever!

The idea gives me the heebie-jeebies

A Star Trek episode covered 3 frozen bodies in space and brought them back to life - I think 300 years involved, could be wrong. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

RE: Christmas and New Year....

I have before now wandered around the streets when it was snowing with my dog and it wasn't so much fun.

Sunshine or moonlight on fresh snow is beautiful though. Cold cold cold but beautiful.

RE: No Real Regrets

Nice one but I have seen a SOTP sign painted by the authorities so that could still be a real poice car

In Wales all signs have to be up in Welsh and English because everyone is now supposed to speak both. One council emailed their usual translator for a complicated sign about truck access. The Welsh council gave the prompt response to a Welsh signpainter and up it went as follows - Rwyf allan o'r swyddfa ond byddaf yn ymateb i'ch e-bost ar ôl dychwelyd


To save you looking that up - 'I am out of the office but will respond to your email on my return'.

RE: No Real Regrets

Hey Luke I thought the most magical thing in the Harry Potter books was Dumbledore's ability to spin selected memories out of his head and keep them separately. We've all got some we'd be happy to lose. Some would leave our heads very nearly empty.

Joining CS got me talking to people I'd never have met otherwise and even met a few in real life. It has been a very happy place in the past and I am always happy to see blogs which are true to what it once was.

RE: insurance

The first fire brigades were on annual subscription if you hadn't paid up you had to put out your fire yourself. A few arsonists drummed up business ...

Long long ago and we take free firefighting for granted now. Like free libraries, they were also originally on annual subscription. Probably a few other things.

RE: cellphone cords with the ability to hack...

And the pressure is on to get more and more apps and more info on your phone. I have one banking app which can only be loaded on a phone not on a PC. My main bank will only let me change address details if I load the phone app to do so otherwise I have to go into the branch or complete and post a form

RE: Stop The Madness

Conrad, what was untrue in the above?

RE: The Future:- How would u like to see it ?

Hi Kal I think Snookums is gone, perhaps even forever and ever

Her profile was probably deleted for good reason she seems conceited argumentative and stupid we just have to hope she never comes back

RE: Age

Fairly safe guess most of the bloggers are pretty long in the tooth.

And yes I am too that isn't a dig at anyone. Let me reword it we are seasoned interesting experienced individuals and it takes time to accumulate that sort of value



Also be useful if blogger status showed if they had any interest in meeting other single people but most of the time the topic makes it pretty clear that they don't even know or care that it is for single people who would like to talk to other single people about sociable stuff

RE: Aphorisms

Wow Wiily this is quite a breakthrough for you.

Lots of good ones - there's also the famous "politicians are like diapers they need to be changed often and for the same reason" which is coming up for both Mark Twain and Ben Franklin.

RE: A Shameless repost for those who need it...despera

Yes not many have kept original ID's

I was referring to the first paragraph of your blog,

I got from that there had been an influx of multiple newbies with firm ideas as to how blogs needed to be handled. Also implies that having all active blogs on view isn't a new innovation but an old one brought back to match the forums and agree with what you said then it is boring having one or two determined bloggers hogging the front page unless of course they are so incredibly good that everyone else wants them there and keeps hauling up their blogs. These days that isn't always the case and the determined bloggers are still doing most of the work themselves.

#CShistory101

So I was asking if those newbies are now the old guard or whether they dissolved in the mists of time which is a hope to cling to

RE: CS Annual Party!!!

Anyone who has already organized meets knows that there are lots of instant replies ooh yes count me in but when it gets nearer and nearer the time the excuses start and there'd be about 1 in the original 100 who would actually appear

Those would be the ones who post accurate profiles correct to within a couple of years or dress sizes or looks and how many are there ... online we are anything we want to be reality is less kind

virtual parties are fun though

RE: A Shameless repost for those who need it...despera

Jim this was a genuine question and I know of no other blogger I can ask who has been here so long - perhaps one will appear who is able to answer if you won't

Out of curiosity who were the newbies 10 years ago did they leave or do they now form part of the Old Guard complaining about the newbie MD hogbloggers?

RE: Still single

'never mind the title'

you mean you're not still single?

RE: Weekend again

Did you get stoned straight away or were you a gent and helped her pack?

RE: HAS ANYONE EVER REALLY FOUND A TRUE,IN PERSON MATE ON THIS SITE?

I've thought I found a mate on this site a couple of times don't know if that counts

If you genuinely want advice and you genuinely want young women to have babies with change the photo. You look cross and old. Take off the hood and the glasses and smile for your selfie.

When you write DON'T USE CAPS WHICH ARE STANDARD FOR SHOUTING and don't tell them you are interviewing

Most women get several mails a day saying things like ´hi wanna chat' and we know the men sending them have often sent out 10 or 20 messages saying exactly the same thing. If you like the look of someone make the mail personal refer to something in her profile then she knows you read it. Even so she will read your profile before replying and if she can see you two aren't a fit she probably won't reply

Use spellcheck before you send your message - it is like ironing your shirt before your first date it shows you are making an effort and women like that very much

If all else fails back to the "whoprehouse" where you will definitely find a pretty woman with some assets of her own who will likely be happy to give up a series of johns who shout for the nice quiet life of just one.

RE: Pet The Nice Kitty :)

Pass I'm attached to my hands and would like to keep things that way

RE: Happy Hallowe'en Y'all!

Great idea earlier in the comments about posting a Halloween pic

Putting this on my profile briefly too hope the mods allow the fun for 24 hours

Those who have Messenger on their phones can take a pic on messenger then use the special effects wand to disguise yourself and use the pic

RE: Writers' groups. Ah, the siphoned equanimity of the years....

Aren't most writers gearing up for wossname NANOWRIMO at the moment?

Don't tell the bossy lady where the next meeting is

RE: Safety First

I always feel strangled by seatbelts, suddenly I feel they could be worse

RE: I'd like to propose.....

That was my first husband

RE: Wonderful Feeling

His birthday with people who love him, how great and how wonderful that it was one of his good days

RE: Meeting potential partners......

One really good way to meet potential partners is to join a dating website.

Huh

Most of us really looking for companionship? Here? Nuh-uh. CS is for religious nutters and politicos too dull to engage attention on topical websites so they nag endlessly at us resentful social butterflies. We'd go elsewhere but there are so few dating websites with blogs. Hundreds and hundreds for the religious even more for the political bores yet here they are

I had to skip 27 blogs to find one that was about being single that may be a record
