My family was poor in the sense that we didn't have a lot of money but we didn't starve. We had a lot of property next door to our house. My father planted a vegetable garden with all kinds of vegetables and my mother canned them in pressurized Ball jars. If the jar lids didn't pop then we knew the jar wasn't pressurized and we couldn't keep the contents. When all the jar lids popped then we put the jars in a cellar that was always cold.
At the time we were a family of six, mother, father, sister, grandfather, grandmother. My father worked on the railroad for menial wages and my mother worked for a pharmaceutical company.
My parents went to a market where they sold half a cow cut into pieces for stews, roasts, steak, etc. It all went in a small freezer. When I was very young we had chickens that we sold including their eggs. My parents always found a way to make sure there was food on the table.
You like that idea that I'm busting your junk don't you. It sounds cool doesn't it. Not as cool as if you said I'm giving you a hard time about something you said.
Do you expect me to agree with everything you say Gal?
Even with people that I like I don't agree with everything they say. When a thread is written it is assumed that people are going to have opinions about it.
If you want to control what I say in my responses to you then it's better that I don't respond to you at all. That's too bad cause we've known each other a long time on here.
Nobody in the real world or on here controls me. I control what I say because there are Rules and certain things shouldn't be said in public.
I completely agree that you do try to get along with everyone. I've seen people take cracks at you and you rarely come back with sarcasm.
What you are asking Larry is for every single person who is a member of CS to like each other. That is taking into account all the countries that are on CS. That wouldn't happen in the real world much less behind a computer screen.
I try to do my part to get along with people. When I sense that they don't like what I post I walk away. If I offended them I apologize first. If they don't accept the apology then it doesn't matter to me.
It's up to each person to do their part. If they don't it's not your fault nor mine. Cause we are
I'm glad to hear that you are the opposite of my father, aren't most men.
I don't understand what your message is. First you say you're not like my father, then you say two women wanted you but they dumped you. Then you say you should have been carnivorous which probably means you should have been forceful. And then the big reveal you can't figure out women.
What a shock. You are not alone. Most men don't understand women.
An opinion from the peanut gallery is..............Men and women think of each other as being a good person if the other gender abides by their standards.
If my way agrees with his way then he will think that I'm a good woman. Men don't need all the picky things that women put importance on. They want her to be lovable, a good cook, kind, thrifty, give him his space and willing to warm up his bed.
If he agrees with my way (which rarely happens) then I will think he's a good man BUT when I tell him the screen door is broken I want him to fix it pretty quickly. When I tell him I had an accident with the car he doesn't want to hear a half hour of how it happened, he just wants to call the insurance company. Women have more specifics in their description of what a good man is. One if the big ones for me is when I need to talk about something important I want him to hear the words I say and not just listen to my voice.
