Mom never told me I was special.

Not many seem fake to me. Stubborn, picky, fussy, or generally look down on me? Those I see quite abit. Sites are getting scarce, most think a person is pretty dumb, and would freely shell out good money to be on their raggedy old site.


And, I see that same, old tired comments.


"Give people a chance, they are nervous too, maybe uncomfortable. They might sound like a dork at first but maybe they aren't."

Sounds nice. Too bad very few wish to follow that bit of wisdom.

Well, I'm in the same boat, photos, sent messages, no response.


And, I see the normal response of no photos, no messages. Then I see "Oh yes we do!".




Umm....... Mind if I not believe you? That's the sole reason why you see no photos of me on here. You won't respond, so why should I bother?

It would be different if I sent vulgar messages, birthday suit photos, or just flat out asked for sex. I do none of the above.

Wanna get right down to it? I find it very irritating. Or, if you like, plain old RUDE. Don't give me weak reasons, saying you would, IF. I've moved past that. I'm not speculating anymore. After six years of dating site turndowns by saying nothing, I just don't bother anymore. I no longer do this >

Do me a favor. Just quit lying about it, please?

Actually, I think lottery tickets might be a better deal. At least there's a glimmer of hope that you might have a very remote chance of breaking even.

Be self employed- you don't qualify for any of it. Be self employed, prior to working for someone else- you get accused of double dipping. More often than not, they will just flat out deny you any any compensation.

I don't qualify for any of it. I do qualify for paying taxes, however. I do despise dems for wasting money. You made 'em, you support 'em. Lots of jobs out there that require you to show up, work, and require nothing more than a high school diploma. Work at it long enough, be dependable, and lo and behold! People ask you to come work for them! They're very willing to pay more on top of that. Why collect unemployment, when work pays so much more?

What do I think of dems? You don't want to know.

People are abusing medications like penicillin and preventing their bodies from building up immunities by using sanitizing cleaners. The saying, "A child needs to eat a pound of dirt" refers to this.

I agree with that statement. I've had enough tetanus shots to last me until I'm 150 years old. People tell me I should get flu shots every year, yet I've yet to get a case of flu since they started it. I've avoided the common cold for the last five years, just by not touching my nose or face while out in public. Of course, I do wash my hands often during those outings. A cut? Slap a bandage on it, don't bother with antibiotic. I'm still here.

Point is, you can sanitize yourself so much, that you invite bacteria to invade. I use echinacea, that's a natural immune boosting herb. You'd be surprised how well that works.

I think we all learned about Match, one way or another. Match getting sued? Makes me wonder why it took so long. If it turns into a class action suit, I'd bet that would put them under.

Depends what you think is good.

My state does voting electronically. BUT, these machines are not connected to anything but the plug on the wall to power it. Our state police is on all suspicious absentee ballots. Case in point- they went after a lady that filed three absentee ballots, and she is currently in prison for that. We have to have current photo ID to vote. No ID? Bye-Bye.

What with voter fraud being watched closely now, I'd say anybody getting caught doing it could find themselves in lots of hot water.

True. You must consider that these forums are a good place to vent your frustrations. I do, and I've read others that do the same. Is there someone you can gripe at, just for the sake of griping? Not many of us have that luxury.

It's taken a while, but I've grown accustomed of being my own master, and the perks of that situation. I find myself asking if I want to get into a relationship. The usual answer for me is no. Oh sure, it would be nice to know someone to have some whoopie once in a while. But I won't loose any sleep over it. (If she snored, I would if I did)

It gets to us occasionally. We're human. Why drag another into our lives just for that purpose? I'd say we're doing them a favor by not doing that.

And what about the millenium shutdown in 2000? The mayan calendar in 2013? ( I personally thought he ran out of paper. Or ink.)

Hmmm!

Climbing aboard my big touring bike. It's never the destination, I reached that when I sat down.

First challenge- does anyone get past-

"Does anybody get past a meetup and get to know someone through dating?"

I haven't. I'm sure others never get past that obstacle. It's pretty insurmountable, as I see it. That's one of the few "Can't" I'll admit to. Most know me as a person who will tackle challenges pretty well. Makes my work look like a breeze.

Dating. No way. Far too much frustration goes with it. So I just don't bother anymore.

Depends.

How desperate is she. Tack on a few other minuses that I won't bring up, but you could think of, without trying.

As little as possible.

You might shoot better than he does.

I have several jewish friends. Aside from them being just a little different, they're fine people. They don't preach their religion to me. I found, they are generous when needed. They expect value for their money, are very fair, and exceptionally honest. Cheat them, and you'll lose their trust, and you'll never work with them again.

That's too bad. I've had a couple, smartest cats I ever had. One black cat breed, Bombay, are very exceptional. (All black, small frame, copper colored eyes) They tend to want to be around people, and bond well to their owners.

Sure. That's the first question that I think of, when I meet a woman. I'm sure many of you object to that line of thinking. Call it, a payback for thinking that I want to have sex with you. Call it, tit for tat.

(I'd call it something else, by the way)

There's enough women out there shopping for the almighty buck. We know it for a fact. It's a safe assumption we make everyday, and few women ever come along to prove us wrong. Now they've come up with a new term-Economically Challenged.

Nicely worded, does not make us feel any better. I'll stick to the common term that says it all-gold digger.

Conspiracy goes with all curious events. One that very few know, is one that happened in front of my property.

One late november evening, a couple was driving past my home and property. The man was mentally unstable. He stopped his car, jumped out, ripped off all his clothing, and shouted that he was going to find God. Off he ran, across my field, shouting. My dogs heard it, and just had to go out, and bark at him. I put up my dog fence that summer. Had I not, they would have chased him down. I didn't know what was going on.

Then I saw police cars show up down the road, about a half hour later. About 15 minutes later, I had one come to my house, and I found out what was going on. Then, I was asked to not go out looking with them, they were trying to use dogs to track the crazy down, and my scent would confuse their dogs. Fair enough, besides, it was about 35 degrees out. Why go out and freeze my tail off?

Apparently, this nut ran about a mile north through farm fields, until he saw a large, well lit industrial plant that sits about seven miles from my place. So he ran to the lights, thinking obviously that was Heaven. He almost made it.

He wasn't found until spring, lying dead in the middle of a field. Some cockeyed physic had told the family he was hiding in one of my outbuildings. I met most of the family,over the coming days, because they insisted to search my buildings. Me telling them my dogs would have found him by that time didn't sit well with them. I finally had to have the sheriff order them to stay off my property, after three days of them just walking in and searching without my permission.


My, what I thought was normally sane neighbors, started tossing around conspiracy theories.

"He was picked up by the CIA"
"UFO's nabbed him"
"The Mob kidnapped him"
"He was a spy, and the Russians had picked him up and took him back to Russia"
"Black helicopters took him"

Oh come now, you HONESTLY expect me to believe that??? The only other explanation I didn't here was that the Great Pumpkin took him on as a partner. (He did run through a field of pumpkins on his naked run"

I wonder, do these conspiracy theorists actually know how silly they sound?
