RE: What do you understand at "down to earth"?

Realistic about things. Understands the ups and downs of life. Doesn't think he is the greatest thing on earth and people should worship the ground he walks on.

RE: Utopia

I am buying a burka and bushel basket. Going to the capital and saying me refuge. Fill basket with money for me.

RE: i want to move to another state

Give her credit. She tells the truth. She is a lazy B who wants a free ride. Maybe there is an Eskimo with an igloo that will take her in. As long as she has enough teeth to chew his hides for him anyway.
Go get a job. Save up, buy an old RV and hit the road to where it takes you.

RE: How many here drive a stick?

Brought the 48 back, still own..business coupe. Also own a 4 door 47 with suicide doors.Gonna sell that one tho.
Used to drive a 51 Desoto with fluid drive. Those are some WEIRD tranis!! Cool car. Had metal dash to floor. And the big conquistador hood emblem. I can't remember the trani now. When cold, use first. After warmed up, second to third?

Heres a laugh!

Just checked out stuff on ebay. Typed in fancy in crafts. Listing is for 10 assorted pigeon feathers. The type of listing is under pre-owned! WELL! I would certainly hope so! Maybe because the person collected them? But, I am sure the pigeon owned them first.

RE: How many here drive a stick?

Try a stick 48 Dodge in the mountains. PLEASE do not have stop sign at the top of this street.
My plow truck had an auto. There is enough going on when plowing snow without a clutch to boot. Autos now are like...15 speeds? Huh? What do the tranis look like, so many gears is resembles something built with legos? How many times can a car shift anyway?
I crack up with movies..guy is racing to outrun another car...and shifts. To WHAT?
Autos are nice when old. Enough to keep track of in town.My car, your car, his car, turns, lanes, lights. And that jerk who thinks if he kisses your back bumper at the stop light, he will get there faster.

Truth in advertising

Amazing that we are the most cultured, educated animals on earth.Yet our whole societies center around getting it on. Books, movies, clubs, social media. Humans have more in common with Bonobos than they will admit. To heck with HAND shake.
The breeding instinct rains supreme. That is why marriages fail, crimes get committed and kids grow up in broken homes.
For all our intellect, humans still center on physical beauty to generate lust. Whole industries cater to achieving and keeping it. So many people miss out on true love and togetherness because they all want the same movie star and reject less.
At least humans don't go around sniffing butts like dogs and cats.

RE: How many here drive a stick?

My 1949 Chevy truck. Like to see someone try to steal it. Starter button on floors. Why wont key start it?
Had a 61 Ford convert. Changed to stick, auto read end. Spent an afternoon trying to learn to drive it. Ran out of gas. Walked back to house. Husband said where are you..where you left me. Finally learned how.

RE: Name a store you shopped at that doesn't exist anymore.

98% of our downtown. Named ones, Wards, Sears,Woolworth,Schultz, Pennys, Coast to Coast, Aldens. Local ones,Atkinson Dept store, Rhymes Drugs, Spurgeons, furniture stores, clothes stores.
The local cafes hang on with new owners over the years. One drug has passed on to kids and grandkids.
Now the town relies on a Walmart, Dollar Tree, Aldis, Tractor Supply and a couple of locals. If Wallyworld pulls out, town is screwed.
Big R/Stock and Field opened two years, bankrupt. Getting a Dollar General on other side of town from downtown.
Good thing I have always shopped catalogs.

RE: Welcome to America, 11 million are thus favored to come, oh just the beginning? Likely so.........

News headlines is Biden ordering ICE to release all the people they have held. So what if 70% or so have criminal backgrounds. Now 9000 heading this way from the south. This should be interesting. Our border with Mexico will be wall to wall refuge camps. I wonder if our US homeless will be allowed to join them so they can get free food, shelter and medical care?

Cant stand romance novels. Thought of writing for Harlequin. I guess they send you an outline and basically you fill in the blanks. Can't believe women devour them. I read lots of books when younger...like fairy tales.
She wishes for her knight, he shows up, they fall in love at first glance, obstacles separate them, she flees, he flees, she gets hurt, he gets hurt, wars, fights, bad parents/stepparents, and finally love conquers all and they live happily ever after.
Give me good sci fi, monsters,action..no romcoms! No wonder young people are so messed up.
Real life is what you think you want, is not what you will fall in love with. And don't pick on looks cause we all get old.
Neighbor wanted a wife. And kids. Rejected women with a kid. Now he is too old to hope.

Blame this site. They don't have choice, you get what they list. I would choose, not looking, period. But, they don't have it. As to what would I do with an 18 year old man... lets see... I need that blasted oak sofa out of the library, and the console stereo out of my house. There is a pile of cut ash across the drive that needs to go to the woodshed. What do you mean...what else would I use him for. Young and dumb and ego filled...I like older men. Unfortunately at my age, they are either in the nursing home or grave. Guess I will stick to younger men...my fella is almost two years younger.
Another joke of date sites.. self employed...hmmm...NOT employed, selling drugs?

Truth in advertising

I get a laugh out of the ads for date sites. The women are all gorgeous babes and the men are hunks. Even the senior sites. And the women say they are looking for a fun time, romance and a caring relationship. Read between the lines...they like to party and get drunk, get swept off their feet by a man who groves at their feet bestowing jewels, furs and cars on them. Cash will do too. They want a guy to care for them enough to support them and their 3 kids by different dads.
The men might look like that...30 years ago before the beer gut and flab set in. They are looking for a long term relationship..IE, no wedding ring hon.
Then we have the foriegn ones. Anyone will do as long as they will send them money, a plane ticket and green card. Age unimportant.
The other fun one is weight average or a BIT heavy. Does 450 count as a bit?
Anyone have some more to add?

No miracles here.

News flash bogart..it IS the science community and doctors who are warning about the vaccine not preventing the virus and that people can still infect others. So guess you think they are idle social media too? Go smoke your joint.

No miracles here.

These vaccines are not like measles or small pox. One can still catch it, and still pass it onto others. I see fools on TV, oh..got it so now can run and hug people. Little on news about NO..still wear masks and distance. Yet media and gov gloss over that. Herd immunity is a dream when it is already mutating, people getting it after shots, no idea how long immunity lasts and all. Saw a guy had shot one and caught and died.

Insane English.

Oh boy...now my head is spinning! Now...first off English in the US at least, is no longer what it was. We now incorporate tons of foreign words to add to the confusion. Like the German word schadenfreude because there is no word in English for the feeling.
I cracked up at a couple of the "poems." Now there is a work..why did they feel the need to put a c and a k in cracked. Aren't they basically the same?
Read somewhere that our idea of Shakespeare's English is how he talked. Seems not, it was how he wrote, but spoke the common language of his time.
Part of what gets people through their language is growing up with it. That includes dialects. I look at a Chinese or Russian or Arabic alphabet and can't see how one can create word or sentence with them. Total confusion.
One word that drives my guy bats is asked. So many blacks say axed, but also others. I read and found that it is a natural bent by toddlers. It is up to adults to correct them and if they don't, the kid grows up pronouncing it axed.
Us has a bad habit of changing ts to ds. Wader instead of water. I catch myself doing it too. Lazy tongue syndrome. And a t gets stuck in niche and cache. And my guy will NOT drop that stupid T!
I was taught Spanish that the la and the el is the way to change gender. Simpler that separate words.
But, for every rule in every language, there are the except whens.
And then you have spell check that proof readers/editors miss. NO!!! But, we enjoy the laughs if not the mystery..huh?

RE: Expression on a guys face when he meets his bride for the first time....

I can hear his thoughts..WHEW!
I remember the first photo my fella sent me. We had been writing for 2 months or more. I hounded him for a photo newer than when he was a kid.
Finally! I clicked on the email attachment and went WOW!! Two women friends were here. I hollered at them..come see what I have been writing too all this time.
I don't know what I expected, but it sure was nice to find out he was the handsomest man in the whole state.

Insane English.

I lead the way, or did I lead that seam? I read it, and I will read it. All the examples my brain has right now. But, when writing run into many words that has two pronunciations and even meanings. Have to know the context to understand the meaning. Then we have two, too, to. How about silent letters thrown in for the halibut of it, or ones pronounce contrary like F and PH. Is that ending a er or is it an or..trailer, trailor...Then sometimes it means giver or receiver, grantor/ granter/ grantee.There's another idiot thing...i before e except after c, usually. OK, do I accept it or except it? I feel sorry for anyone learning English. Dad said it was the hardest language that made the least sense.

No miracles here.

Despite all the blather, docs have said, doesn't prevent, only lessens risk and risk of death. Still can get, still can pass it on. The rose colored glass crowd dont want it known. I guess the hope is with mass vaccinations, people will still get it, just not fill hospitals. Nothing said tho about long haulers.

No miracles here.

Everyone read fast before this gets taken down. California congressman had the first virus shot. Hadn't gotten the second..caught the virus. Another congressman, had both shots and caught the virus. Maybe if I don't say its name, this can make it past the ones who want to promote a failed miracle that is supposed to save the world.

RE: What's on your bucket list ?

Live til I die cause nothing I do matters to anyone now or after I am gone.

RE: How do you like men and women to dress: Formal, Casual, for Church, for CS etc

Dad was born in another era in Germany Mom in major US city. I was raised to the belief that if you go into public, you owe it as a sign of respect to dress as well as you can. Now adays, people go to formal affairs like church, funerals, weddings....whatever..dressed like they are heading out to clean the garage or garden.
It has to do with the new attitude of I am great, I am superior to all...take me as I am or go jump cause I am special.
It started with no dress codes in schools. Advanced to casual Fridays and has progressed to slob- ville.
Fashions have changed through out history. Some of the past dress was ornamentaly gorgeous but how the heck did people function in them. Some even cause death.
I am crazy for bling, shine, glimmer,bright colors and the creations of art that many countries create through beading, embroidering and embellishment. But, with a small town, no place to wear many. My fella is a basic jeans and t or plaid flannel shirt. He dislikes me to wear much more than boring. I tell him life is short and 6 feet under is boring so why rush it.
I like collars/chokers. The wider and blingier the better.
I notice foriegn countries where women may only have a couple of dresses, but they take time to look thier best. Men also.
In the US the worst you can look seems the ideal. Like paying $50 for a pair of holey, distressed jeans I wouldn't wear to the barn because I would get dirty though the rips. I can do that on barbed wire without paying for it.
My other crab is the bare leg look. Dress to the nines and no stockings. So the statement is...jump my bones cause I aint got no undies on under here? Plus not many women have perfect skin on their legs.

RE: Hot Rods and Motorcycles

My dream car! I want that gold Lincoln.

RE: The boomerang generation.

I dont get why it is so horrid that kids stay with parents. I grew up at a time when women stayed with parents and men with parents til married. Even then they moved in with one set of parents. Grandparents, parents and adult kids stayed together as family units. And helped each other. All of a sudden that was passe and any kid who stayed home was a loser. Didn't matter if they lived in a dump as long as they lived alone.
Independence doesnt have to mean cutting ties like parents hate kids and kids hate parents. Families used to stay together to benefit all.
I never had kids. I stayed on the family farm through both marriages. It was taught me that when dad died, it was up to me to care for the farm and mom and take over when she died. I ended up quasi adopting my boarder and he lives in my basement. We provide for each other. Makes life easier for him and for me.
Lets end the isolation people suffer because society says we all need to live alone.

RE: Will your political views...limit who you date?

You need a depends. Like on how rabid the person is. My fella and I believe mostly similar. But, we can get into it over his addiction to youtube videos and conspiracy theories. Also aliens..and mothman and...anyway, to keep the peace, I try to listen and shut up. Since we don't live together, it is easier. But, I can see two who do getting into some horrid fights over politics. Or anything else. So when one person is rabid and the other is rabid the opposite, forget it. On any subjects. Or even if only one is rabid because at some point the other will get sick of hearing it.

RE: what song taught you the most in life?

Ka sara sara, what will be will be.

RE: Do women prefer real or faker finger nails?

Hard enough on farm to have real ones! My fella likes long red nails. So I try. Then either snap a couple to the flesh or use paint or some chemical and there goes the polish.
The fakes are dangerous. Especially the build up ones. Gal I heard of wore them for 10 years. Almost lost all her nails. Doc said no more. She did, til grew out all better and then...had them back on. Vanity your name is..IDIOT!
I dislike the fakes because they get so extreme. What, women wish to look like Mandarin lords? How do they toilet? Deal with daily chores? Long nails look nicer than stubby polished. But, I prefer claws on dragons!

RE: What did you ask Santa for this year?

A super big...electric frying pan to replace mine that broke. Darn thing only lasted 30 years!
And a big electric kettle. My boarder gave me the kettle and my fella gave me a super big...........frying pan.

RE: Why did everyone in East Germany speak U.S. English on November 9, 1989?

I watched it on TV and cried. Dad was born in Germany and he never lived to see it. Deutsch-land united once more.

RE: Will the entire world be on welfare by 2021?

Anyway, as soon as the Dems take over and Biden orders the Fed to start printing dollars 24/7.
