Do you think a good person is someone who never gets angry?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 2, 2018:

There is a difference in an angry person and a person who gets angry. The first one can be dangerous the second one is normal.

I'm probably the outlier here, but I think fireworks are overrated and over done.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 2, 2018:

I wouldn't miss them. I like a well put together show put together by professionals. I don't believe they should be available to the public. We have been in a state of drought for most of the last few years. Very dangerous.

My mom and her mom (90) have always been involved in church.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Don't tell her.There will be nothing gained except to make her unhappy. What she will get from this is she won't see her baby in heaven one day. She doesn't need to carry that with her for the rest of her days.

Words go here. I'm not sure what words, but I know they go here.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

As long as you use words, and so you did.

The challenge is real.

It is a good thing for Donald Trump that he has never had to be an employee working for a living.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Nope! Had he not been born into wealth, he would have been a successful used car salesman. I'm convinced of this.

Attention Tax Payers

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

I have really had it as of today.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

It is surreal to me this is really happening, and l did alot of acid in the 70's and 80's. Could this be a flash back? I think not. I never had a bad experience on acid. ?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

My parents and grandparents. All are gone, so no.

I recently discovered minimalism.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

For professional musicians it just naturally happens.

Will the rise in gender neutral toys and clothing lead to a bland future ?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Happy 151st birthday Canada! You don't look a day over 100. (Must be the healthcare.)

Sounds simple enough, but we all know it ain't simple. ☺

What’s the best way to flirt?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

If you don't have a natural affinity for flirting, you will most likely never be good at it. If you are not good at it, don't try it without a helment. ☺

What's a No on The First Date?

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Started yelling at me in a late night restaurant that if l thought l was going to get in her pants that night l was wrong, when nothing even remotely came up about that subject. My last blind date, and that was in the 70's.

So someone created a group simply to get points.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

I don't think most people do that. I know l got some double points because at 2 or 3 in the morning when l do a lot of this, l am the first one to see a post. It might appear l was rushing to get points. Once you get to eight, it is so far to nine people probably don't pay attention to the points anymore.

If Your Ex Started Dating.....

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Maybe, maybe not. It has been my experience, including myself, men tend to get back out there faster than women. If this is a persoal experience, l wouldn't dwell on it. It certainly won't do you any good. It is about you and your life now. ☺

A question for those hoping to find love again.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

I have had two LDRs, 90 and 200 miles. Niether one lasted very long because of the distance. For me the problem with relocation is how do you spend enough time together if you are much more than a couple of hundred miles apart.

Wasted days and nights

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Not really. Doing nothing sometimes means at least I'm not doing something stupid. That is a positive.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Very much so.

Do you have experience with a parent with Alzheimer's/Dementia?

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

I haven't personally, but two of my close friends have recently gone through this with their mothers both of whom l knew. We had many conversations about this. The frustration for everyone is exhausting. It is an insidious disease. At times they turn into people you don't know. I am truly sorry this is happening to you and your family.

Age range for dating

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

At this point, 18 to 80, blind, crippled, or crazy! ☺

Ghosting! Because avoidance behavior is so much easier. Who here has done it? I'll admit to it.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

I am new this messaging back and forth, but it seems to me sometimes the conversations just seem to peter out and you both know it. It is not the best way to converse.

Many studies have reported a negative correlation between religiousness and intelligence.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

You don't need studies.You just need just need to converse with enough folks to figure that out.

Steve Harvey once saved me from beat up by my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

If you ever get a chnce to beat up Steve Harvey, please do so! ☺

This applies to religion as well as personality disorders...imho.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

I try to avoid those folks at all costs.

Name calling and cursing at someone is not effective in a healthy debate.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Sometimes being a dick is called for and l have no problem going there. If rationality and honest discourse worked this planet would not be the fucked up place it is.

Do you ever miss the community that church provided?

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

I am depressed by the appearance of the number of trumpie supporters.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

It shows a frightening level of ignorance in this country! We have the rich, who believe being simply rich is not enough. They must be super rich. We have the the lower middle class and poor who want to blame everyone else except themselves for their lot in life. Trump tapped into that.

What are the experiences that really shaped you as a person?

Sticks48 comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Very hard to know, because things happen and there is no way to know the consequences if they had not happened.

I try to avoid lucidity. It leads to reality and right now reality is not very good.

Yup. Beautiful day... Even in Augusta Georgia. I could use a doughnut though.

Sticks48 comments on Jun 29, 2018:

Everyone can use a donut, except diabetics and infants. I noticed you used the formal spelling. Very respectful of a great source of sugar.
