Hello Nam, As a 16 yr old , working as a labourer on a cement crew, I was allowed to work in a prison one summer. Having someone watching you thru binoculars, continually, seeing some of the inmates, seeing the guards in towers (with rifles)keeping an eye on you, sure made up my mind on whether I was going to make a return visit. Scary, learning experience for a young kid, who thought he knew everything.
Good Morning Abby, Me being somewhat old fashioned used to think the man should be paying, but have changed somewhat due to changing the changing times. Now I figure whom ever first asks the other person out should pay. Then taking turns paying, taking turns choosing the restaurant makes things work out. Trying new restaurant, and different types of cuisine makes for a nice outing, You have a Good one,
Hello Cat, Today is a present, like that. Carries so much truth, that a lot of us don t realize. Lou , sorry to hear of your friend, thoughts and prayers are with you,
Hello Georgie, You heard the old saying you earn respect, I got my own play on that, Respect is something you give away, it will come back, That fellow you mentioned Very disrespectful, genuine Behind.
Hello Abby, You actually notice what color your lovers eyes are, If you do it in the dark, does it matter, Okay, I m being a smart a**, Giving some thought to that question, the color of a persons eyes, is one thing, I never seem to notice, A persons voice, manners, and the way they carry themselves is noticed first off. Maybe its just me,
Hello Cat, Well, it 2 40 AM here , and I m wondering why I m awake, Oh yeah, can t sleep, might as well peek at the computer, Comparing cars to people is a Good comparison, Theres a lot of similarities . Some cars, and people have a lot of milage on them. cars like people need some maintenance .Theres lots of similarities, but the one I like best is ,amongst all the used cars out there, there are some Gems, just like people , there are some good ones out there, No harm in taking either one for a test drive. And am dozing off, going to call it a night, you have a good one Bud,
You take care there Bud, there a lot of people pulling for you, Don t hesitate in seeking some professional advice. Lately one of the neighbors (a very strong minded,good person) had a breakdown, The thought of her having a breakdown ,seemed unreal. After she got some professional help , her life is now back on track. You re not alone Bud. You take care,
Avias, Thanks for such a good blog. Wasn t fully aware of Thomas Jefferson. Love those quotes, a lot of wise words there. Definitely a remarkable Man. Once again Thanks, really enjoyed that,
Hello 2Bback, I have on occasion known people, who after a very short while, were set to get married, And after the shine of the fling and good times wears off, things get back to normal, reality sets in. Theres the old saying look before you leap,should definitely fit your friends situation. And then again occasionally stranger and stupider things have happened, There is no laws against stupidity
Hello Nam, The other day, I had a coffee with a few of my neighbors daughters at the local coffee shop. I watched these, kids grow up, ( call them kids ), they re in their mid, late twenties. good kids, and no I m not an antique. They told me of their experiences on a dating ,chat line, I can t believe how they were spoken to,, and what pics were sent to them, There is a lot of very sick people in the world hiding behind a computer screen,(progress) but that's life, and I have to remember there is a lot of Good people out there too, A person definitely has to err on the side of caution,
Hello Avias Thanks, made for some Great reading, Definitely priceless. Makes you wish those kids would never grow up, Once again Thanks, and you have a Great DAY,
A sign of old age is when a person worries about money, a sign of senility is when a person worries about someone elses money, But 72,000,000 I recently watched LIFE STYLES OF THE VERY RICH AND FAMOUS, it s an eye opener,
Nam, theres no shortage of Larrys in the world, Users, and takers, I have on occasional bumped into a Larry, and before they laid their BS on me , hit them up for some assistance of some sort. Most Larrys, besides being bums, are also LAZY. Its surprizing how quick they can turn into Hudini, and disappear,
Nam, you being a trucker, working difficult hours, and schedules,is tough on a person. Those people who don t realize this and don t want to leave , are inconsidate, idiots,
Back again, there are those people who never want to leave, Too bad they re not Good Looking females, Me , with some health problems, tell the person, I m under the weather, time for you to leave Mentioning being ill scares a lot of people away, (not wanting to catch something), Nam, I may be crazy, not stupid,
Hello Nam, My father taught me people like Larry can be beneficial, I make a point of borrowing Larry , say 5 dollars, that comes with a deadline date to be paid back, And in most times I never see the fellow again, That 5 dollars was worth the peace and quiet, And if anyone else ever wants to borrow money, I tell them, Larry owes me a few bucks, go talk to him about that money he owes me. And me with a big mouth, usually tell a lot of people about Larry. Larry gets no favors from anyone, And its easier than shooting him with Leony s shotgun, Okay Nam, I have too much time on my Hands,
Cocheta, I keep hoping I win one of the big lotteries over here, Then myself, and some of the nice people off CS would be getting together, And a Good time would be had by all We ll kick that long distance thing in the butt,
Miclee, Isn t that ever the truth. I ve made that mistake numerous times, and am regretting it to this day, Oh yes, you re invited to have coffee with Dreamcatcher, Cocheta, and myself,
