RE: The chair draggers...

Now my guy is retired and the neighbor construction guy sold out to a mega guy. So now he hears the back up buzzer, clanging, grinding, roaring at 6 am or 10pm. So much for a peaceful retirement. I could never stand in town nor apartment. Lose your apt cause some dumb idiot burns a candle or pot on stove or cig.

RE: What Will This Summer Bring?

I don't mind walking out the door to a dead critter. I object to walking out and almost stepping on its guts or half eaten parts. My cats all hunt, but mostly the females. They bring things to their kittens. No kittens? I get it. Yuck. Thanks for saving half for me!sigh

RE: Stay away from Medicine

I stay healthy by avoiding the medical industry. Last time I saw a Dr. was 30 years ago or more. I needed a script for horse worm medicine. Found out same as dog wormer.
I have been an herbalist most of my life and believe nature provides us with what we need in life. All the pills are either derivatives of plants( so use the plants) or some chemicals invented to make money, cause side effects so they can sell more pills against those.frustrated

RE: Why Do We Keep Feeding the Merchants of Death?

Agentbob..you never make sense! The world needs to put the kibosh on Putin and Russia. A few other countries could be squashed too. The main thing the elite see though is that any way is a money maker. Not just for them, but the economy in general. Dump all the old and stored and boom times for manufacturers.

Medicine in the 21st century.

I stay healthy by avoiding the medical industry. If they can't find something, they invent it. Just to sell pills and tests. I haven't seen a doc for 30 years or more. And that was only cause I needed worm medicine for horse worms. Found out I could have just bought dog wormer. Same stuff.wow frustrated very mad
Docs have figured out the more time on back and not moving, the faster a body deteriorates. So some of the idea of movement is good. But, with someone like my tenant with other issues, like edema for the radiation he had to cure cancer and smokers issues...think they might want to observe a couple days at least. But, then..insurance companies and VA want a patient gone as fast as they can.
That is my laugh at how bad socialized medicine would be. Government telling you what and when. Yeah? We already have it via insurance companies. A Doc orders a test or procedure and it has to clear with insurance first. And their "docs" veto it.

Simplify

There are advantages to owning my home. But, with property taxes, I end up paying "rent" to the government. And with new eminent domain laws, they can kick me out anytime some company wants my land. Zoning tells me what I can and can not do with what I own. But, at least quiet and don't have to worry some idiot leaves a pot on the stove or a candle burning.
The joke is all these climate whiners flying all over the globe to their conferences. Poor people are supposed to spend 50K on an electric car and utilities are supposed to become green. Yet jets zoom constantly. The proof is how clean the air became when air travel was banned for a week after 9-11.
Pick on that middle class guy commuting to work for minimum wage and let the beautiful people fly hither and yon for frivolity.frustrated very mad

Right now I have half a barn roof on and no sign of the roofer! There are times I think a two bedroom apartment would be so nice. Let someone else deal with all the stuff a home owner puts up with. The more you own, the more time and money you spend taking care of it all. Yep..use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. But, that is not the American way because that doesnt make others rich.frustrated

Too bad Goodwill got bought up by the Japanese. Now they do little for the mission that they once followed. Laugh when you see the old rummage tag still on for 50 cents and GW is asking 5. Or turn that 2 dollar over and see the Dollar Tree label.
We grew up, you bought it...you wear it. Til it wore out. Now you see resale with tags still on and some gal paid big bucks for it. Now I am at that stage in life where I don't own stuff..it owns me. It goes! Yes, I liked it. Yes I wore it. Yes I still like it. Fine! Want it now...uh..TODAY! moping sigh no..Good! Then into the donation bag with it. Quit pretending. You dont need office proper anymore. You aren't going to any parties anymore. You haven't found that use for it after decades.
Issue is tho...the world is dependent on making stuff to sell. Sad tho, now with mass producing, there are not enough people to consume it all. Especially at high prices. Don't think I have room in kitchen for 20 frigs. And no, I will not buy new until mine dies.frustrated

RE: Twister...

The news said it is rare to get tornadoes in Florida. Somewhere I have a photo of my ex standing on four feet high of hailstones that ended up in the creek where we were rock hunting. The storm blew up so fast..he said what do we do? I said nose the 59 Ford wagon into the cut bank of the gravel pit as tight as you can and we turn tail to the storm and hunker down. Talk about noise. AND..not a single dent in that old steel wagon. Nature is the one thing we all should fear.wow

RE: Extra terrestrial communication.

The sad thing is SETI has been calling for decades and no one answers. Or!!! They are already here.dum de dum! One issue I have is the need for humans to base life forms on what is known on earth. We need water so they must also. We need O2 so that has to be the norm. If..and that is a big if..there are life forms on some distant planet, they may be as alien to us as those blind snakes in caves or diatoms in the sea. Man has a big problem. He thinks everything has to fit the mold HE makes.scold roll eyes

Old age sleep patterns.

Shawn, that is not a good combo to use again and again. I did sleep more normal last night. I think the time change is actually good. I run by the sun and moon, not a clock devised by humans. So maybe when it reset, I caught up.

Is gouging ending?

You mean that big nursing home called congress?

RE: 85 year old woman gets taken-down by an alligator...

My guy lived in Florida for a while. He said there was a retention pond that gators were in. And big signs that warned beware! So why didnt this lake have them. She lived there. They said everyone knew about the gator, even named it. WTH? Yes..why WASN"T it removed? Simple is always look around and beware of your environment. That is in nature or city.

Humans eat what?!

You sound like my guy. He says if he cant cook it in 10 minutes, he wont make it. Sure like to visit and eat the big meals I make tho.laugh Which is the only time I cook. I mostly graze and eat little. Bagel and coffee or maybe oatmeal is good til night. Then open fridge and eat what falls out. Microwaves are great.banana

Humans eat what?!

I have never figured out the whole cooking kick. I eat to live, not live to eat. Animals worry about one thing..finding food. They dont spend hours inventing recipes. Nature make lots of tasty things just fine. I like shrimp. Buy frozen pre-cooked, heat up and slather in butter. Nothing more. Sorry you taste so good little ones. I find it wrong to cover them with sauces, spices, booze. I figure if one has to doctor any food nature made, then you don't really like the taste of it. Of course in todays world of hockey pucks pretending to be tomatos or peaches and meat that could serve as shoe soles or cardboard..I guess processed needs doctoring.moping

RE: Have you ever...?

As a recluse I have wanted a shirt that shows a bloody jawed wolf that says, Do I LOOK cuddly? For some reason in my life, everyone wants to hug me.roll eyes sigh There is something I have noticed with women especially. There are some, like my mom, that when they hug you, you feel all tension fade away and enveloped in caring. And those who hug and it feels more like hugged by a tree.
Lots depend on the toucher. Some times a pat or hand on a shoulder is welcome. And some times, like getting bit by a bug.
I find with age, touch is less desired. My guy and I are not overly demonstrative. He because lacked it growing up. Me cause just being together is enough.
I miss my dog. She had a way that to hug her, all aches fell away. I guess it is the aura thing. If they match, touch is fine. Not and leave me alone. I hate shaking hands. Why cant we bow like Asia. Germy hands dont appeal to me.

RE: Another Tesla nightmare...

One problem is lazy people who are stupid and think auto is a dream. And over rely on it too. I see videos of cats riding around onto of Rumbas. Do the idiots not think of what that weight is doing to that robot? It is not designed to be ridden on. Yet they post those cute videos. Until the robot dies a miserable death.frustrated
Auto is assist. Not mommy taking care of me. Add to it people who go zombie when driving.
I watch the traffic cams on interstate. Watch as cars and trucks race past the camera so fast it is scary. Add flawed self driving cars and exploding batteries to the mix of failing brakes, bad tires, rusted A arms, disintegrating tires, falling cargo, flung rocks, animals, bicycles, pedestrians and no wonder the slaughter rate on highways equals a skirmish.
I have watched...standing along side my country road. I am back in the field a bit, not in the ditch. People drive by and never notice me. They stare ahead, never check around their car. No wonder they hit deer in broad daylight. I constantly check things when I drive. Ahead, sides, behind. And plan that that car will run his stop sign.scold

The fun of youth.

Do you ever look back at your younger years and it seems like it happened to someone else? Or you can't believe you actually did stuff you would never do now. hmmm...like climb a tree?laugh

Targeted ads.

That is why the best film production these days are commercials. Comedy, drama, history, travel. But, many fail what I was taught in advertising. Make sure they know who the heck the ad is for!! I was taught saturation too. But, not do it til no one listens. And I think most now with the 10 sec attention span tune out like us.sleep

RE: Rock stars going under the knife...

Yep...looking good with eyebrows at hair line, skin tight as a drum and implants that make one look like a fruit basket. But, give Dolly Partons doc credit. He is superb. Sad to go through it all.
Joke is the hands always give the age away. And the insides are still old and failing.
Do I look in the mirror and ask what the H happened? Sure. Risk surgery for a temporary fix? No way!
Liz Taylor did a movie long ago that has vanished. As the wife, worried about looking old. Snuck off and got plastic surgery. Came home young again. Husband panicked cause now he looked old and divorced her. Just why she had done it. Thought he would leave her old..backfired.doh

Targeted ads.

Ads are the time to hit the can or kitchen. On the computer I do a C clean almost every time I turn it on. How companies hear. I contacted Pillsbury and said I hate the exploding cans they use for rolls. No issue with any kind, just the cans. She said she would pass it on. So how do they respond....send a coupon to buy more with a sorry note. So much for listening.
I get lots of reading in watching TV.roll eyes

RE: I need to apologise...I know where I was wrong...

Isn't it the truth. We hang on to hurts we caused, broken promises and things said or not said or not done. Meanwhile those people forgot long ago. I was going to make a rag doll for a co-workers baby girl. Finally when she was a pre-teen, I handed the cloth back along with the pattern to the mom. She did not remember it at all. So for all those years I periodically felt guilt for nothing.
I wish I could tell mom and dad regrets I have about things I said. But, unless there is an after life, guess I can't.
The teaching we should do is to not say things before thinking it over. I learned long ago to say no. I may change it after I think about it. But, people love a no changed to a yes. And never forgive a yes changed to a no.

RE: Astronomy and the dark side of the moon!

I bet those little green men get tired of cleaning up our trash after we leave.I wish more attention and money was spent on this miserable little globe we cling to. But, man has always sought more territory. Why? Some the reason we stood up..to see what is over there. Mainly tho..greed. We didnt go back to the moon because there were no diamonds, emeralds, gold..just dust. Know what? It is still dust! But, greed needs a base to move to other planets to hunt for treasure.
Some feel to have alternatives to earth if...The sun powers this whole galaxy. It goes, all those planets, moons, stars go with it.
Can one imagine what could be done on earth with the money used for a moon shot or any other space missions? But, the rich squander their money they steal from the poor in the humanitarian quest to get richer.tongue
Seti has been sending signals out for..what? Forty years? And no answer. It scares us that we might be all there is. No other life forms to save us from ourselves.moping

RE: IQ

I feel sorry for anyone that is IQ of 200 or 300 or even 400. How frustrating must be the world to them. Limits of knowledge, time and physical ability. A brain of a million ideas trapped in the limits of their body and other people.

RE: Extinct, or just 'hiding'?

They have been there forever. Humans just never were where they are, when they are. The earth is covered with areas where humans never or rarely go. And do those who enter care or understand what they see? I had a terrarium once in the house. I dug dirt outside and stuck plants in it. One day I take a good look and see something different. Got a magnifying glass. WOW. It was a mushroom I had never seen before. The top was so tiny and the stem was a hair holding it up an inch.Almost invisible. Amazing something so delicate and fragile could exist in the wild. But, I researched and they do. Now what person stomping around in combat boots, with eyes 5 feet or higher above the forest floor would ever see one?wow

Did the wool bear tell the truth?

I've always had the thought that there are different types. So one kind is black, on brown on black and one black on brown. Never studied up on it. I usually see brown middle or black. If I see a brown with black middle I am running south. lol.wow help

RE: It's right around the corner.

As most, the holiday has pagan roots. Blessings of harvest and hope for the suns return in spring. Even tho not Christian, have always kept Christmas eve. Mom, dad and I went out to our trees and cut a pine. Dad put it up and mom decorated it. It was the whole ritual. Empty the coat closet so dad could fit the ladder and himself up into the attic trap door to get the box down. Argue over which tree. Mom always won and it was always bigger than she thought.frustrated Dad whittling the base to fit. The tree went up in the start of December. Dad was German so it was tradition to have a tree. Presents went under to sit tempting til the eve. Christmas day was just another day. Tree stayed up til dad got fed up with the fire hazzard and needles and would start to take toys off. Mom would yelp...I"LL DO IT before you break them.
I was into decorating when first married. Finally bought a fake tree. Did the whole deal for years and years. Last decade...little pre-decorated tree. Sits in the library all year except Dec it comes in the living room. Get my guy something and my boarder. Or not. Now holidays just are work no one sees so who cares.yawn

RE: Camp Lejeune this, Camp Lejeune that...

I believe the term is "ambulance chaser." IE a lawyer or firm that finds anything possible to sue someone for. The joke is we dont get paid unless you do.
Years ago, my husband and I were so angry at his doctors, we got hold of a lawyer like that. He came to the house and said we did have a just case. Then the kicker. Yes, he worked free. BUT!! If he made phone calls, we were billed. If he drove somewhere, we were billed mileage. If he got a Doctor to testify for us, we paid the Doc, time, mileage, motel, etc. If the lawyer mailed letters...guess what..billed.
So one can end up paying out a ton of cash even if the lawyer isn't getting his 80 or 100 an hour. What a joke.
I was awakened yesterday by robo. Medicare..you can get money back. What bull...and use it to pay their premium. I long for Dec 7th when enrollment ends for medicare. Yesterday was 9 or 10 calls. It goes on all day. Medicare, Spectrum, Auto insurance, life line, Amazon purchase for 1000 phone. Good luck on that one. Go right ahead. Take that $36 left from a gift card. No credit card attached.
Political ads. On and on and on. A few more days and then peace!applause dancing Until they start in for 2024!

RE: Monday, 31 October Halloween

Insanity is teaching your kids not to take candy form strangers and then on the 31st of Oct, send them off with a bag to collect candy from strangers.confused doh
I never went. Once, the neighbor wanted to take me along to town with her kids and dad vetoed it. Why? Mom explained. He had seen kids in Germany begging and equated trick or treat with begging. And he could afford to buy me candy and I was NOT going begging. Parents did make it better..we went to the neighbors that evening later and they visited while us kids ran around outside in the dark and collided with trees.laugh
