The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
Why do I wonder about these things instead of going on meet and greets?
It is rather odd when you're shopping and you keep running into the same gal and she continually returns a smile. My thought is, " I wonder if she's thinking the same thing I'm thinking?"
Never drum up a conversation though... as I'm so shy
Don't really care to date someone newly divorced as they're still in he mode of sorting out the baggage. If a year has passed, there's a good chance they've worked thru the bigger issues. Plus, I really don't like hearing an ex spouse being put down as it's only a single perspective. Chances are the guy has his own story too.
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, Ill say it clear, Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full. Ive traveled each and evry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried. Ive had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, No, oh no not me, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
I think everyone has an addiction to something. Some are just more socially acceptable than others. The way I've got it figured, I'm going to die from something, I could be wrong ?
Due to their association with this odd behaviour, lemming suicide is a frequently-used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with popular opinion, with potentially dangerous or fatal consequences
In Indy last year, Little White Lies (an anti-cig. organization) was running a commerical that 250 people a year in Indy die from 2nd hand smoke.
I called into a local talk show and asked them to research it. The county coroner came on the station and factually stated that there has never been a "cause of death report" showing "2nd hand smoke". It would be virtually impossible to make that diagnosis.
Soon thereafter, the commericals stopped. No one can argue that smoking is good for a person. However~~ it was ironic that the organization was called LittleWhiteLies....would lie~~
I'm respectful of other's wishes. My daughter in law doesn't allow smoking in their house. So I step outside. However once when it was 10 below outside I was helping my son fix a sump pump in his basement. I told him, "son, either you can fix this yourself w/o my help if you don't want me to light up.", He said, "smoke away Dad" lol
With smoking being banned in all public buildings in my town, I usually go to other towns that aren't so restrictive. Basically, I boycott local pubs/establishments. Several pubs have went out of business this past year :( The law of unintended consequences.
It's more the principle of the issue than it is the non-smoking that bothers me. Just another restriction of personal freedoms as tobacco isn't a controlled substance in the United States, yet anyway.
