Normally I would not recommend drugs for anybody because they often cause other problems. But in this case where therapy has not solved the problem I would suggest there are some drugs that may help control the anxiety. Otherwise it shouldn't be too hard to find a woman who wears the pants in the family, it's actually pretty common.

I think she meant to put "also to search for money" but ran out of room being she is Asian but listed Native American and she lives in England. But I'm sure somebody out there is interested in Haha.

I wonder if this is what Cat ment when she said there should be more "deep topics"?

Wow, impressive! Think maybe somebody has done a few too many whip-its with that kind of intelligence. Pot-kettle, kettle-pot, just don't call me black because I might be eligible for some reparations then. So glad to hear those comments that added so much to the topic!

My issue is not whether somebody is black or gay, or even black and gay. The issue is when it's rubbed in everybody's face like the group is so desperate for attention that they need everybody to see it. The best way to fit into society is to blend in. 100+ years ago all of the nationalities in the United States hated each other, or at least thought they were better then others. But thru time they learned to adapt to the other cultures and blend in with everybody else. This was not done by making a scene or forcing others to do things their way. I will put it this way, if you drink a big glass of milk everyday and one day you start to slam that glass of milk and it's curdled and sour you will probably be worried about all milk for awhile after that. It just takes one bad apple to ruin the whole bushel, and if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth you will not only remember, but subliminally you will think about it too. I don't care what people do on their own time, but when it interfere with my time and money it leaves that bad taste in my mouth. If somebody chooses to celebrate Juneteenth go crazy. But when it shuts down the government and those employees are getting paid with my tax dollars then I got issues with it.
I laugh at Bud Light and Target for all the loses they have occurred for pushing homosexuality down people's throats. I would much rather be factually correct then Politically Correct, or fallow the so called Social norms that so many go by. Those things have been made up by society, who is society? Me, and you, and that other guy are all society and we are all allowed to put our input into what "social norm" should be. I look at what has happened in history, research done on subjects, and I use a little common sense which doesn't seem all that common. I think outside the box to figure out why things are the way they are, many don't understand this approach because it doesn't fit into their social norms or political correctness.

The thing is run off from an x-box controller, heard the lights were from camping world. Don't know about you, but I think I would do a little more quality control before going down in something like that. It reminds me of the subs they build in the jungle down in Colombia to run cocaine to the US. They build them out of wood and fiberglass to avoid radar, they have to surface every so often to get air. They got away with running a lot of cocaine before somebody finally snitched. The cartel would force people to drive the submarines, saying no was instant death so people had to chance it. Think they found one on the surface not all that long ago with the people inside dead. It's a very interesting story for those who want to look into it.

It's like this, I am allergic to shellfish, well more like shellfish people. Whenever I'm around them I get a headache and feel queasy.

Instead of the world coming closer together they are being driven farther apart. Some of this is being done intentionally by politicians and advertisers, other parts have more to do with pop culture. Society is becoming more bi-polar, or tri-polar, or even beyond. It's not just the liberals verses the conservative. Look at the stupid things they got going this month. Pride month? Like gay people need a special month? When gay people fly a rainbow flag outside what are they truly trying to accomplish? "Hey, look at me I'm gay"? Or "screw you, I'm here and I'm queer"? They are not trying to "fit in",and have "equal rights", they are saying they are going to rub their lifestyle in your face wether you like it or not.
Then we got the dumbest holiday ever invented aimed at people that don't work and want everything handed to them. Who ever came up with this "Juneteenth"?. That's not even a word and is even more make believe then Columbus day. Congress just wanted another paid day off. If it wasn't for slavery 90% of the black people wouldn't even exist in the United States. Why are they so fixed on the past? Why can't they assimilate? Why do 100 people get shot every year at "Juneteenth" celebrations. It's not bringing people closer together, it's making people say "hey look at me, I'm different from you"

I heard somewhere that after the so called "pandemic" people are associating less with classes other then their own. Maybe because people who work hard for their money don't appreciate freeloaders? Or is it more to do with driving people apart and pinning them against each other?

Someone mentioned all the people on Mingle, well I get plenty of hits everyday on my account, problem is they are all fakes, fake people don't post in the forums, well not often anyways. They still have profiles of people from 10 years ago, the number of people that are on this site long enough to realize there are forums is very limited. That along with the fact that every topic has already been covered a number of times makes it tough to come up with new content. I'm not big on social media but I've even noticed people don't comment on Fakebook like they used to either, and if people don't click on "like" for every post then people don't do it in return, or they drop the people. Maybe the forums should come up with a "like" button, and a "dislike" button also?

Basically this is saying if you believe something it must be true, that we should throw out all logic and believe in fairy tales. Mary was certainly not a "virgin". Just for "make believe" sake let's pretend there is a "god" which in most likely hood would have absolutely no human like qualities as he would have existed long before any humans would have ever existed. Now why this "god" would have "created" Jesus as the messenger is very far fetched. There are plenty of religions that started long before Christianity and yet there are many that believe only in the stories that have been created in the last 2000 years. Jesus pretty much sold snake oil to not very bright people, basically he practiced witch craft, a scam artist, and there was good reason to crucify him as was pretty common practice of the time. He was not all that special, could pretty much compare him to what Hitler was trying to do but in a more advanced time. Religion is power, the bigger the group you can obtain the more power (control) you can have, so they form a pyramid scheme where they get lower level people to recruit more people. This is done with false promises (just like politics). Sure Santa and the Easter Bunny are real, but then you are one day disappointed when you wake up and there are no presents or Easter baskets. Ironically these holidays have been highjacked by Christians. Jesus is not the "reason for the season". Has nothing to do with his birthday, just away to promote their religion by altering others beliefs. It's all a fairy tail writen by not so special people over time that has come to be believed by many people as fact when it is clearly fiction. Not that religion doesn't have some good points, as does government, but along with the good comes some bad things. It's not bad to pretend you are living in a fairytale as long as you know it's just a fairy tail.

I forgot what this topic is about but would anybody happen to know what time the game is on?

Lincoln's was supposedly a slave when he was a teenager, he felt bad for the negros that were enslaved and wanted them "free". Originally he planned on sending them to a reservation in central America after they were "free". So when people start throwing around this BS about giving people free housing, free education, free food, I say look what the F'n indians have done with all that we have given them? Like Bart says throwing $ at a problem is in no way going to solve that problem, the way to make productive, assimilated people's is to have them go out and earn it and prove themselves.

So if slavery would have never existed in the United States then descendents of slaves would not exist. In other words most of the black people in the United States would not exist, pair that with the fact that many white people fought and died to free the slaves, and many white people are responsible for giving blacks the freedoms they have. To me it looks more like the black people should be leaning down to kiss the feet of white people then the white people trying to kiss the blacks ***** as they would not even exist had it not been for the white man.

Made me think about when Oregon became a state. They had to decide if they would allow slavery or not. Their simple solution was just not allow black people into their state, problem solved.

Ivory is a pretty good choice, it's 99 44/100 pure,
whatever that means, and it floats so you don't lose it at the bottom of the bathtub! Ivory has been around for 150 yrs and has stood the test of time.

I am not saying I don't use soap What do you think I'm one of those dirty Europeans who don't shower or use deodorant? I'm saying there alternatives to buying a plastic bottle full of body wash and having the bottle end up in a land fill or the ocean. I prefer bar soap anyways because you can feel the cleaning action. Buying from a local farm market can be good, but there are also other options such as looking at the packaging before buying something, or finding a local refillery that sells all natural, plastic free alternatives. Back in the day many people made their own soap, usually out of tallow rendered from animal fat. People are always looking for advancement, bigger better things, but now trends are going back to organic food, using more basic ingredients or even making their own soaps and cleaning supplies at home. I grew up with a garden in which we canned food, canning food has been on a decline for decades but now people are wanting to know where their food is from and how it was treated. Maybe people are too selfish or lazy to look for alternatives and say there are billions of other people in the world that use plastic bottles so why should I waste my time and money looking for something else? Well it's all got to start someplace, corporations love the packaging because it advertises their items, however it cost a lot of money to make and ship all that packaging. Wouldn't it make so much more sense to just ship the product to the stores in bulk and then distribute to customers in reusable packages?

Indicted of what? Having classified documents? Guess that would be one way to drain the swamp in Washington being all the politicians seem to have top secret documents.

January 6th? So when a major sports team wins a championship and some dumb-***** go out and start some dumpsters on fire n trash a cop car then they are going to prosecute the sports team? When some POS dies cuz he shoved enough fentanyl in his mouth to kill a horse just to hide it from the cops and then a bunch of losers go out and look, riot, and destroy cities are we going to prossicut all those politicians that encouraged those people to go out and riot?

Or are you talking about taxes? Cooking the books? Just because Trump tells his accountant to fudge some numbers does not make him responsible, it up to the bean counter to do what is right under the law as they are the ones with the education and license that should know better. You know Trump ain't afraid to throw anybody under the bus.

The Russians swinging the 2016 election? That's old news and has run it's course, but we all know social media is very dangerous in persuading and brainwashing people with propaganda. You go after 1 party and the other party is even more guilty.

Even if Trump is indicted does not mean he is convicted, we've seen it all before. Many are just looking for a reason to start a civil war, however that just makes the USA look weak to other countries.

I'm saying the average person consumes about a credit card worth of plastic every week, we have islands of plastic floating in the ocean, I'm saying most of the plastic that gets put into the recycling bin they actually pay another country to take where it is then dumped and/or burned. Yes we have had a great 100+ year run with plastic, yes plastic is still useful for many things. But the way we use plastic and what we do with it should change. Plastic is made from petroleum, plastic gives off chemicals, plastic is not biodegradable, it can last thousands of years. For awhile people were on a better track, do you remember the milkman? They would bring you fresh bottles of milk and take the old bottles to be washed and reused. Pop bottles and some beer bottles did the same too, glass which is made of sand and can be recycled and reused without leaching chemicals into our bodies. They can make plastic out of plants that is biodegradable, but if it is biodegradable and starts to break down too soon I could see that doing a lot of harm, it's like when they told us to eat margarine instead of butter because it's made from plants it must be good for us, not true at all. The best thing for people to do is educate themselves and make wise decisions. Many other things are coming to light too, such as bamboo and hemp fabrics that have many advantages over traditional cotton and is much more sustainable to produce.

Now whether people are listening to what I'm saying, or not, that is another story in its self.

Only about 7% of plastic is actually recycled so yes, many people are discovering shampoo and conditioner soap bars, or buying in aluminum bottles (75% of all aluminum ever produced is still being used, and it's more efficient to recycle) People are also buying refills for all kinds of stuff in pouches, some being biodegradable because they are made of plant based plastic. Other things include toothpaste tablets to get rid of toothpaste tubes, laundry detergent sheets, and you can even get some soaps and cleaners in concentrated tablet form which not only reduces the number of plastic containers, but also lessens the impact shipping has as most things are mostly water anyways.
Going green and shopping for plastic free options isn't just for tree hugging, Subaru driving,vegan lesbians anymore, more and more SUV driving soccer moms are getting into it too breaking the traditional stereo types.

Caffeine is not only great for the skin but also stimulates hair growth for those with thinning and balding. But if it stimulates hair growth on your head I would assume it also stimulates hair growth on your arms, legs, and back so people should proceed with caution. Coffee soap and shampoo is a great way to start your day.

Not if you take him a long to join the action.

If I wanted to know the weather I would look outside or check my app.

If you ask somebody how they are doing most often they will lie. If they are having a bad day they will say they are OK, if they are having a great day they will say they are doing GOOD. That is unless they like drama, or want somebody to feel sorry for them.

Please don't ask if that dress makes you look fat ( no, it's your fat that makes you look fat)

If you have to ask somebody if they love you then you should focus on what they do, not what they say.

Thank you for holding the door, well you should have done that anyway, but I will thank you anyway because everybody deserves a participation award.

Do people not understand that China already knows more about us then we know about ourselves? With all the technology floating around and so many things built in China it's not that hard to track everybody, and everything. We send weather balloons up all the time as do many places so I would guess China thought they could get away this. Anything visually picked up by the ballon most likely could have also been picked up by a satellite. Do we think the balloon was filled with Coronavirus? Or some new virus? It is a big deal when others trespass on our private places, but in our world economy with the world wide web I'm not sure how much they are actually gaining?
