I know what you mean. I recently located to a very small town from a city. I thought it would be wonderful with that "small town hospitality" myth.

since i have come here, because I dress differently, I dont wear sweatpants and tshirts but instead skirts and knee boots and the sort...i have been titled a witch, freak, satanist...etc.

So I have not really tried to meet people, why should I if I am going to be judged so harshly for not being a local.

thus i am on a dating site. I figure if someone is nice enough and friendly enough they will extend out a welcome to me, instead of me trying so hard just to be kicked in my face.

I am always polite though and ready to smile and say hello, but i just get hating darting eyes in return.

I suppose my point is just to be yourself and those who are worth befriending will gravitate towards you.

all families are messed up like that.

so it is best just to create memories rather than mementos

In my opinion the meaning of existing, the meaning of life is love and experiences/memories...I believe that defines who you are

You regarded your father as "daddy", which makes me think you may be very young.

If my daddy said that to me about my siblings I would not worry. daddys sometimes say things like that so to inforce and establish who is in charge.

I have heard this definition before but do you truly believe that???

not me.

if you or I, or george or martha, started chewing bubble gum, and at first we could not blow a bubble, but we kept on, expecting that sooner or later we could. WELL SOONER OR LATER WE WOULD. that is not insane it is called perseverence.

Insanity is removing yourself from rational and realistic thought.

sure enough if i try repeatedly i will blow that bubble gum bubble, that is not insane.
If i put that gum in my mouth and kept trying to blow gold, well that is a different story.

insane acts is not even deemed unusual...no doubt with the over medicated society inwhich we live.

INFINITE MONKEYS is not a sign of insanity but a testiment of certainty.


insane and crazy AND gross as it seemingly is, if a monkey can type out the works of shakespear one day, over eras...then


Schrödinger's cat

apologies for not directing my response.

i was responding to the original poster

formulating your theory by something you read gives you no credit. Your ideas are nothing new.

you have been bought yourself.

have an original thought and then you may have the ammunition to form a very powerful creedo.

i noticed you said store or gas station. first off, those gals are going to be hit on at least 50 times a day. I know from experience.

the men I noticed were those who were always polite, addressed me by my name and instead of saying things like "marlboros" then throwing the money on the counter..they would hand me the money and treat me as a person and not a flunky

if you see a girl there you might wanna get to know...always be polite and say thank you and please..and she will notice, she will see you are not just treating her like some servant.. next.. begin small talk, fun banter. she will remember you I promise.
after awhile she is going to view you as one of her fav customers and be happy when you visit and then you are on her sweet side.

saying hello and being personal goes a long way...you will be a joy instead of just another customer.

if you take my advice you must invite me to your wedding.

introducing myself..im julie.

enough about that.

I am a movie buff. In era pieces the men would always wear hats. usually bowlers, derbys, top hats even stove pipes, cowboy hats and berets.
but to me the most sexiest and so amazingly masculine was the fedora.

When i go into a restaurant today, (not even an A place) when I sit down, I notice that baseball caps are the favorites. Men do not remove their caps at a restaurant. It makes me dishearted.
I recenty went to a funeral, and again the baseball caps were not removed. I so much wanted to say something but alas I remained silent.

Perhaps I should be from a different era. but I wish I could see a mans head without their head mask.
I think it is so sexy and classy seeing a man remove his "hat" when entering a dwelling.

i suppose I am saying to all you guys...enough with the effing baseball caps.

those are cute.

I just hope they are not made from ginger bread.
I don't like the taste of gingerbread.

to me it tastes like ****. (how fitting if you allow the pun)

But those tooshie cookies are cute as can be, and if you are the artist/baker I give you a salute for your creativity.

I read those who responded and the general feel was that when they die it would be the end of the world.
I give that thought great merit because to each has created the world, and when they are gone so is the world...to them.

the actually planet earth does go on tho. and I think about that more than I should...it is not any one persons burden to worry of such an event.

But if I were to guess out of the scope that my brain can wrap around..I think it will be a cataclysm...horrid climatic wrath. Shifting of polars and equaters, complete annihilation. This planet will burst into an infinite amount of specs and become a nutrience for the universal community.
and I think that all of us, all of mankind will never have to worry or witness, we will be long gone.
who knows.. we might be playing croquet with the dinosaurs in some better place when the world finally breaks down and crumbles.

in your post you say "white man" that makes me wonder if you are of a native descent.

are you? If you are I will tell you something about spitting.

my anti-peeve is, and this sounds arrogant, stupidity.

Not having manners, not keeping your word, apathy, these things I always equated with stupidity....but i have mellowed.

I finally decided to be more accepting, and choose my battles more selectively lest i go completely mad.

Those who do the things that annoy me are not doing it to me, they are just being who they are, and ignorance may be a factor there...but god help anyone who litters in front of me I just might go berzerko. Not really but maybe.

I think i misread. If you do have a cold sore, do not use lip balm. it will not help, and the repeated rubbing of the cold sore can do more harm than good.

I read eating too many cashews can cause cold sores.

but to answer your q. NO, lip balm, even when used in excess can not cause them...unless you are sharing said lip balm, then all assurances are off.

maybe decide what you want and do it. You can you know, even with three kids. Stop sulking and start living.

does anyone air guitar to the opening sequence to Law and Order? Because I know for sure I do not.

I was wondering if anyone else does not air guitar to any of the shows they watch?

Maybe it's just me but I think it is best to reserve complaining about not getting any action until you have been here longer than five days..I'm just saying.

aw mat. some of us have to do this in our job and I can tell you right now all of my 5-50 responses all said the same thing.

I said "Hello"

they said "hello" or maybe sometimes "Hi"

that is the usual customary response.

I am quite sure if saying it spontaneously out on the street the normal response would still be "hi", "hello"....given a non response would not be worth indicating on your survey being that it was a non response (but i am sure those not responding said "Hello" in their brain.)

Is saying "hello" preposterous?

I suppose I would start at the beginning.
