No, I just can't reach it. I like smoothing lotion on my body when I get out of the shower.

Some kind of reaching gizmo so I can put lotion on my back

Can I match myself with someone?

I am probably going to be burned for this..

Bottom line for me is we do not live in caves. In society we live AMONGST others, so we DO in fact impact and are impacted by others.


I don't care for the labels because I feel they are used as emotional fear mongering tactics these days. It is like with 'religious values'. What is that? In the Bible it teaches not to steal or murder, so does that make those things 'religious values'? How do we pretend things fall neatly or squarely in one box, when instead there can be a GREAT DEAL of overlap between political ideas and values.


Arguing about 'concepts' does little towards discussing reality. For instance, the fist definition I find for 'socialism' is this:


a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.


Nevermind that it deals with 'production' and not services. In political fodder, it is applied to both. And if we take a very 'American' concept of "of the people, for the people, and BY the people", it can be argued some form of 'socialism' is designed to be included in our American fabric. It can also be argued that public services (for the people) are also a part of that fabric.


So the idea that there should be no private property does not have to coexist with the idea that communities or 'the people' should own more of what they are contributing to. Workers contribute to profits. The idea they should be better represented for it is not a terrible one. Citizens spend a lifetime paying taxes. The idea that those funds should likewise be an available cushion for them when and if needed is also not a terrible one. If someone is innovative, they should be rewarded, but not at the expense of those who help them MAKE something profitable from that innovation. The innovator should be rewarded, but so should those who labor to help the innovator create more from their innovation than an idea.

There are levels. It is not all either/or. It is not all simply boxed and labeled.

I feel like I've heard it so many times I want to put needles in my eyes..

Silly, in a good way, lol

Crayons and a coloring book... Money was tight this pay period.

I choose to be alone because I am enjoying my life without a partner.

I was with my ex for such a long time that being on my own is still a novelty and I rather like it.
