I don't text and I don't use text-speak. Grammer and spelling are so bad these day and I believe that is because texting is more common among some people they don't observe and learn grammer and spelling. To me this is a litercy problem and a communication defect. When a person has grammer and spelling errors in real life situations to me it shows a lack of education and maturity.

Reba is hot because she doesn't have to resort to titalating skimpy undies

Ron

So you as a 28 year old boy sees a hot woman of 55 "an old lady"? How can she be hot and an old lady? You can admire a good looking woman no matter what her age is. And Betty White at 86? Boy was she hot looking in her younger days in TV. Now she still is hot but other things are in the equasion(sp?).

Ron

"older", I agree with you there, at the time I couldn't come up with a better discription. It's how you feel about yourself. I've seen 20 & 30 somethings
that are 'old'.
What do you think 50, 60, + be refered to as that's not defencive: 'Senior citizen', 'Later in life', "of Respectabe age' - I like this as the orential respect their elders, 'elderly?

Ron

I wonder! I was at the grocery store today and was walking out. It was a crowded aisle and room enough for one person to get through. There was me, with a walking cane, and a woman with her arms full. I stopped and backed into an empty space so she could come through, and I waved her through. Then another man, old enough to know, came walking on through as if he's the only one in the store.
Ok, it is a busy time, shopping and driving around, but remember your courtsey.

Ron

Seems like most people thought of employment with this question. I took a different view It took me three years to get a two year AA degree. I pride myself on spelling, grammer and on, know the difference between
their, there, & they're. Some people with BA, MA, Phd's do not Then it comes to common sense!

Ron

WHY is he 45 and not been married? LTR and living with a woman for 20 years. Being in the service, and not wanting to subject a wife to that. Being 'married' to his job, and not wanting to subject
a wife to that. Lots of traveling on the job. Should find out why, not just assume that he's a slacker or jail bird or something.

Ron

On the fireplace mantle for several years I've put up a pair of pantyhose. Hasn't fill them yet though. This year I'm not sure if I'll put up Pantyhose or just hose.

Ron

Yeah! the stores. Commershilism (sp?) and political correctnes has ruined Christmas for me

It's Merry Christmas, not happy holidays & seasons greatings. Those two offend me. Yes I'm Christian, but I wouldn't be offended by recognizing Hanukkah & Ramanden (sp?) holidays along with Christmas.

Ron

I have four hats, lots of caps.

I like movies and pictures from the 30's - 40's - 50's, the fashons, men would wear hats and ties most the times, and women would wear dresses or skirts.

Ron

I'm surprised at the answers here, none of the serious for such a question, or did I read this wrong?
I see it as lookig deeper inside a person other than the outside package. The real person is inside - the overweight man or woman who's beautiful inside, the real hot chick or stud who has nothing inside, etc.

Ron

You forgot The Federal Republic of Oregon! The last governors election I wanted to make bumper stickers
"Another Illegal Align For Kulongoski" & I'm an Illegal Align, And I Vote".

Ron

And put O'Bamas press confrences on Comedy Central, and his writings in the comic books!

Ron

Veterns, Thank you for serving our country!

World War I was orignally known as "The Great War".

November 11 -the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 commemorates the armistice signed at Compiegne, France with the Treaty of Versailles.
.
The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. Almost 20 years later in 1938, Congress voted Armistice Day a federal holiday. President Eisenhower had signed a law that broadened the meaning of “Armistice Day” by making it “Veterans Day” in 1954. But in the minds of the World War I generation, the memory of that armistice still held sway. In 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. People protested that November 11th was a date of historical significance. Congress, in 1978, restored the observance to November 11th.

The most known poem is that of Flanders Fields. Flanders Fields is the generic name of the World War I battlefields in the medieval County of Flanders. At the time of World War I, the county no longer existed but corresponded approximately to the Belgian provinces East Flanders and West Flanders and the French Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.

Ron

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Ok, so when are you going to volunteer to give your life up so they may find a cure for Cancer, Aids and other medical causes????????????

Ron

It's the female who gives birth. Should they be 'patched' and leave the men alone.

Ron

I would like the opinions of Christians of Mingle 2, verses the of the others.
This is for the older people in their 50's or 60's +.. A lot of us have had a bad experience in marriage and do not want to get married again. Now if you met someone you knew you want to spend the rest of your life with, would you change your mind or make other arrangement to be with them?

Ron

Murder of innocence, trust, their self image and confidence, etc. Is there any kind of a punishment bad enough. Let them stand naked at the town square (Portland it's Pioneer Square)Put their 'weapon in a gallows and have people take target practice at them. Then after a time a blade will come down for a public castration. Or throw gas on their weapon with a flame getting closer and closer until.....

Ron

Any sex crime, not just pedrophiles. Men casterated by being hung by their 'weapons' until they come off. Women - patch them up with tree patch cement.

Ron

"Is masterbation a sin?" Yes and no. If you do it and you have a partner; yes - if it takes you away from the love you would have with your partner, do it to porn, or fantize of another. If you are single and have lust in your mind for someone else, or looking at porn - yes.
"think the bigger 'sin' would be to shame someone and make them feel bad about them self..and that can be done just by telling one they are 'sinning'. ". Agreed - find out about your body and what turns you on -'finding you way'.
