Aw Larry. I'm a smoker (trying to quit) and too old for you. Such is my luck. I'll just have to keep looking. I can only hope I know him when I find him. And I also hope he'll be able to appreciate the philosopher in me; not many folks do.
I remember several years ago being in the craft department of my local WalMart. I was after yarn for an afghan I was making. There was a woman standing by the yarn bins yakking on her cell phone. I scooped up every skein in one bin because I needed that color. Just as I turned to leave, the woman told her phone companion that she could now NOT get her yarn because someone just stole every skein from under her nose. Good lord!
Hi Larry! I find myself crawling out from under my cloak of invisibility a bit more often these days, but I still don that cloak too frequently. Old habits die hard, but I learn so much by being invisible.
How sweet! Always thinking of the alternatives. Never been to Applebees.
I go out to eat maybe twice a year, usually with my daughter and her family. I'd still rather just go for a nice walk and munch an apple. Or sit by a campfire and drink a cup of tea.
I am horribly romantic. The little things a SO does are the things that thrill me. And I love doing romantic things for that special someone. Unfortunately, romance is a dieing art. In my time on dating sites I've discovered that relationships are now simply business transactions. Few are willing to put much effort into a relationship and even fewer would be willing to make any kind of sacrifice for another. They just move on to someone who does not require even the smallest sacrifice from them.
We now (apparently) live in a disposable world of instant gratification. It's all about "me, me, me". It seems that people's own wants, needs, and desires are THE top priority in their lives. If all of their wants, needs, and desires are not met, they move on. How sad.
The world is full of romance. But we must be able to understand it for what it is.
Learning to take responsibility for our actions is part of growth. Until the entire human race accomplishes this feat, we are not growing or changing as a species. I have only myself to blame for the poor choices I've made in life. I've learned a lesson from every event in my life; good or bad. Too many are not willing to take responsibility; it's far easier to blame others.
The human race has many evolutionary stages to survive before we become anything resembling a remarkable species. Having the powers of independent thought, free will, and reasoning don't make us smart (as is evidenced by the state of the world today). The human race is not as intelligent or as advanced as we like to tell ourselves we are.
What I find totally funny is someone who has no pic posted in their profile yet states that profile viewers MUST have photo posted to contact them. No photo, no response.
Please provide the exact location in the Bible of the statement mentioned in the OP. Also, please provide the exact location in the Bible of the statement concerning private interpretation. Thanks.
I don't recall any totally fab chicken recipes right off the top of my head. Sorry. Right now I'm making 20 quarts of veggie soup with fresh venison. Takes about 8 hours. Yummy. Next I'm making 20 quarts of chili. Even more yummy.
I love scary movies. Saw, Nightmare on Elm Street, Asylum, The Abandoned, Cube. Never had a movie actually scare me in a lot of years, but White Noise gave me a healthy respect for static on the radio or TV.
Unless you actually tell the CS system to sign you out, you will remain signed in for a period of time. I don't know what the inactivity limit is before you are automatically signed out. Even closing the page (tab) will not sign you out. At the top right side of the page is the link to sign yourself out. Even closing the page, you will remain signed in until the inactivity max is reached. I read forums and view profiles without being signed in all the time.
I don't worry about counting them. They're part of who I am. I won't worry about them unless someone tries to play connect-the-dots with them and my freckles. That could prove interesting.
A "man of the cloth" turned me from a believer to an agnostic. Life events have me bordering on atheist. Organized religion is the opiate of the masses. Brainwashing at its best.
I'll put 911 on my speed dial just in case, and when the big moment arrives and I find out he feels the same way, I'll have to push that button just as I'm collapsing from a coronary.
The smell of leather and horses remind me of my deceased middle daughter. Horses were our life.
The smell of bread baking reminds me of when my 3 girls were little. They loved "helping" make bread from scratch. We'd have a great time messing up the kitchen throwing flour around.
The smell of suet pudding and doblolly reminds me of my grandma. She always made it for me when we'd visit. She's been gone more than 30 years and I still miss her.
The smell of clean air, fresh-cut grass, hay, the woods, rain, snow, fresh turned earth remind me that I'm grateful to be alive to smell those things.
Would I relocate? Absolutely. In fact, if I don't have that special someone in my life by the time the opportunity arises for me to relocate, I'm thinking of moving to Kodiak Island in Alaska. It's gorgeous and isolated. There are a couple other places I'm considering. I'll move alone. Not a big deal.
As for relocating to where a SO lives; that depends. I refuse to move to or near a city. I'd have to think very hard before I'd even live in a small town. I need fresh air, green fields, and wide open spaces.
I've had my bike license for more than 30 years. Used to sell Harleys. Had a belt-driven Sturgis. A short ride to me is 8 hours. One day I will have another bike and will ride the length of Old Route 66.
RE: DO YOU LIKE THE TASTE OF BEER ?
Beer? Yuk! Never liked the taste; never will. Smells like skunk cabbage to me. It was the worst part of bartending for me.Back in my party days I usually drank Ouzo along with glasses of Black Velvet and orange juice.
