RE: childhood habits

So did The Duke of Windsor. Wallis would put them on him, and then start teasing and tickling, they were a very unique couple.

RE: guess the word

ever see the movie "Lady In A Cage" with Olivia deHavilland? In one scene, a street walker is offering breakfast to a hobo she knows. She notices his hands, which have religious letters tatooed on his fingers. She says,
"Yeah, that's the thing with youse guys--repent, slobber, repent, slobber......"

I wondered if anyone would be surprised, but google "Ezekiel Breads", "Orowheat Specialty Breads" (the dark ryes, etc..) funny that milk stays around the same 3 or 4 bucks, but this IS dairy country, b t w...

drizzle avolemonado sauce (thick lemon-chicken gravy) over it---a hint of Heaven....

RE: groceries

Saturday I went to a supermarket, commonly called "Freddie's" here. Overall, factoring in quality, discounts, coupons, etc...it's my opinion that it is #1 for our area. I only purchased grocery items, and nothing "ready-to-eat", save pistachios and crackers. I had expected to spend under $60.00 (U.S.) and as careful as I was (I am a super-great shopper...) the bill was $109.00. The better breads are between $4 and $7 a loaf; crackers are about $3 per 15oz box, milk is $3.50 gallon, orange juice in the carton is $5 to $7 (42 oz) eggs are $4 per dozen, fresh salmon steaks are $10 each, London Broil slabs are about $25.00 now, a roast of 2.5lbs is from $22 to $30 . Getting up there.......

RE: unfulfilled desires

Flowers cannot bloom without the rain--
Rivers cannot run without the snow--
Cold and stormy Arctic winds-
Make Southern breezes blow--

So when Life before you seems weary--
And everything's going wrong--
Remember- it's the stones in the water-
That give the brook its song

RE: Traveling

I drive frequently, but almost always just very short distances--the supermarket, the beaches (they're close), church, the library. A trip of an hour or more is usually off my radar--but occasionally I will...

RE: self-control

Well hello angel...

RE: self-control

we can be angry but not act on it. Or, annoyed, or even elated, and not act on it. It isn't about dismissing feelings, but rather coping with them, or acting upon them with at least some control.

RE: self-control

For this chapter in my life (best yet) I've become great at curbing negativity--something started me on this very optimistic path about fifteen or so years ago--I have a refrigerator magnet made from a small cocktail napkin. It simply reads:

"I never look back. I'm not going that way"

RE: Emotional intelligence

Oh come, now. There are many men who are just as sweet as butter--and would gladly take the time to develop friendship and romance.....please do not stereotype--(I know it's common, I've done it myself....but it isn't always true, so be equitable for those who don't fit the stereotype...)

RE: Laughing WITH me, or laughing AT me? What do you think?

In most cases I believe it is best to err on the side of giving the highest benefit of the doubt--just look at it as an attempt to lighten an awkward moment--give them a break. JMO

RE: How many United States are there in the USA?

You know, I forgot to count Washington, D.C. What are the other eleven territories? Can you name all 14 you mentioned? (google claims there are 5 U.S. territories. Just asking...)

RE: How many United States are there in the USA?

In The United States Of America there are:

46 states
4 commonwealths
5 territories

the commonwealths are also called "states", but originally this was not used for them. For a period of time, the land west of the Rockies was simply known as Oregon Territory.

RE: Mean to others

Yes, Pedro. YOU remember that.....

RE: Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

When both (or all) parties are respectfully listening and NOT INTERRUPTING while ONE person is giving his/her point of view, that is a fair sign that the conversation is productive, or "fruitful". When one or more participants are cutting the one speaking off, raising their voice, etc...that's a very good sign that it is non-productive or "useless". Caveat: "You're talking so loud I can't hear what you're saying"

Did you know that most people being yelled at don't hear a word being said? True story...

RE: Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

I've become very good at walking away.

RE: unfulfilled desires

I think that it is a bit of an error to be too regretful of something you could have done (that you wanted to) but life just got in the way and now it's rather late--however, I'll share one of the biggest of mine: Beginning the junior year of high school, I became fascinated with Australia. It so happened that a girl I attended school with had lived there with her family for about 8 years. I was working part-time, so started saving money right and left. This girl's family got me in touch with an American family that had fully emigrated, now Australian citizens. They lived in Brisbane. They were quite willing to be my host family. When the time was coming to get the passport, etc...the consulate general in S.F. called and told me point blank that I could not obtain a work visa, and to go over and attempt to work cause my arrest. The family, however, insisted that I come, claiming they could remedy it from that side, once I got there. My family was against me going and possibly getting into serious trouble. I've always wished I had trusted that family, and went anyway.
