Try to get there for a few days yearly, usually with family in tow. A touch of Europe north of Maine. Took touring MC--old Wing---ladies in family roundly disapprove. Men and women.
All, my points exactly. Also, we all make mistakes, but where children are actually desired, and the means exist to support them (without whining over the unfairness of government) ---that's fairness to all involved, and not directly involved as well. Irresponsible non use of effective birth control---now that's more like sloth.
MK---of course you are correct. Route memory is an important, but only a minor part. Education. From the latin for "leading or bringing out", much of which is there.
All. Yes, our Milky way is over a hundred light years across. Just one of perhaps billions of galaxies, each with as many stars, all receeding away from each other, at near light speed. If anyone wants to really learm about all this, check out Professor Fillipenko's 96 lecture series, second edition, on the Universe. Mind blowing. And we are just beginning to understand tiny parts of it all. Course on DVD's, by the Great Courses, of the Teaching Company. Pricey, so see if your library can get it for you, on inter library. Loan. My third viewing. Awesome.
Yes all. Humility, and gratitude. A woman's path to such divine qualities of character can only arrive by remaining barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. Kinder, Kirche, Kueche.
I get nervous when going to purchase parts for MC/cars/boat and a woman is at the counter. Eye doc, primary care clinician (FP-NP) and vets are all women. I'm affraid I need to try to work on this some. More and more ladies in such roles.
As LC intimates, I will turn it ON for the type of date from hell from which one sometimes needs immediate rescue. The conversation usually goes something like this. Thanks officer. How are you sure they are my twin girls? Their purses? They are still alive, but critical, and in hospital? Thank Goddess, but you really had to use the jaws of life to get at them. I'll be right there. Hpspital Terminal, you say, yes I know it. Have you called their mom.?-----Now, I make sure to use a loud voice, and act hysterical. I jump up and leave with little excuse and say I need to be alone at this time. Added benfit---if you endure her long enough to get some of the food down, often you can eat and skeet away, leaving her the bill. Is any of this sociopathic? I need to know.
T, Our twins were HS valedictorian and near salutatorian, and endured bullying from the kids of toothless, low information, low life-tattoed parents. It is out there, as you say.
KN. I try always to reply. Just as you mention. Sure, I've gotten a few insults this way. But mostly I've gotten thanks, or questions as to why there's no match. Recently, one female kept pressing me for a more detailed answer, perhaps not happy with diplomatic kindness. The insult only came when I wrote, "ok, you asked for it. Too much cheap make up".
I get many replies, initial notes of interest, questions, and a like now and again. I engage with most to guage possibilities. The go around has lasted for long periods with a rare few. Most are either scammers, or dislike writing. Am getting better at early vetting to save time. Some acquaintances, and meetings. Still having fun and learning a lot. Except possibly for highest priced sites and private matching services, I really see little difference between free and pay sites. This one is the best. Occasional pearl in the sea grass.
Allow my dilletante wannabee philanthropy to gradually morph into the real sort. Our local lotto is near USD 10 large----very large. Ought to do the trick, with wisdom.
S. Love to visit RSA and include that cafe chat. But, C'mon. The country could use a big change, starting with finally cetting the tree top corruption in check, before it is once agsain a world class tourist destination. Fix the corruption, and the decrease in every day violence will take care of itself. We all pray for the success of the new-old RSA government.
Goldwingers differ from Hog noisemakers. Tats, dentition, smoking, other addictions, education, digs, hygiene, obesity, same with girl friends. Guess which is which.
Thanks, ar. But believe me, as proud as I am of such help, and of our evolved friendship, rarely does even hinting at it with a potential new partner bring anything but a mad rush for the door. As we mention in our forums/blogs. Strange.
Yep. their mom and I never married, and in this State, that means no 50:50 forced by courts on (typically) dad's assets. But I helped her and the girls, with housing, autos, education, etc. The right thing to do, of course, and zero scheisters to suck everyone dry.
Could be either. Just should be understood and interpreted, as it might affect the current relationship. And the old ones, for that matter. But today was helped by the twins' mom with a conjoint yard sale. In our case, better for the girls. Better for us. Worse for the lawyers.
Well, the term does have contemporary meaning. Decades ago, other, perhaps much less racy terms were used. Women called men "dreamy", and men used words like "dream boat". Seems like times may be less innocent.
First thing I do is to see if they have a healthy sense of humor. Very telling about mental health, intelligence, outlook on life, adaptability, sense of self worth and ability to self reflect/depreciate, and lots more. One figures out the rest as we go along.
While a much younger hormone drenched skirt chaser, this was a mostly unidimensional topic. Age and hopefully a little wisdom of experience bas broadened things.
Excellent point, MC. Mom and I weren't married, so in Maine, there's no crazy woman takes half law, if no marriage. I did it voluntarily, mostly since I really live well simply, do much for myself, and don't really need the Church altar boy money. The twin's mom is a class act, and isn'y that type. But she's also smart enough, as am I, to either avaoid the dying institution altogether, or insist on the all powerful pre-nuptial agreement. Why Not? Stops many fights, keeps lawyers begging, and vets away the gold diggers, all at once. Slick.
TH---as with much in life and human health, these things have many components. Genetics, culture, education,home life, diet, beliefs, etc. Used to be thought that it was possinle to be fat AND fit, based on poor thinking and data, such a a few obese marathoners. Best, unless you are 6-11", to become less heavy.
RE: Burt Reynolds dies
Handsome guy, fair thespian. But it's said that like Rock Hudson, he too had a hankering for that one -eyed spitting trouser snake.
