When I’m feeling altruistic I give money to the guy standing on the corner… Yeah, he might spend it on beer but I think, who need to be here more than that guy?

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

Yes, I prefer to give directly also. I send things to Africa.

So do any of you have issues with your adult children trying to control your life or interfere with ...

Carin comments on Aug 15, 2018:

Yes. Ex-to-be let our daughter move in rent free & she keeps complaining about how dirty the house is. Gets really condescending when I ask her to help out. & either won't help or makes it worse pretending to help.

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@ezwryder Well yes, but I'm still here too while I save up money to leave. He didn't ask me, he just made the decision on his own. Always wants to be the "good guy" with the kids.

O.K. Ladies is this true for most of you???

Hihi comments on Aug 15, 2018:

I'm 5'10" and stick with flats. But mostly because I only wear things that are comfortable. My ex was 6'4". If they make comfy heels I'll wear them. But also I've seen some ugly women's feet because they wear stupid shoes that deform their feet. Why wear sexy shoes if they give you unsexy feet?

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

Yeah, my mom had NO other shoes than heels & was always fussing over her corns. Wonder if she ever considered that it was her shoes?

DeeWoman comments on Aug 15, 2018:

Yes, I gave up trying to wear these ridiculous things long ago. They are very painful, and very bad for our bodies. It is not far from, in my mind, the Chinese foot binding tradition. I would have thought women would have realized by now how harmful and stupid these shoes are.

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@psycheworks You never wore spike heels I guess?

I saw something else recently about the black death reappearing somewhere, a single case. Maybe Europe somewhere....

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@JackPedigo Although the main cause of antibiotic resistance is the routine use of them in raising some livestock. Did you know that most of the antibiotics manufactured in the USA are fed to animals that aren't even sick. Can't remember where I read it.

@JackPedigo Fungi too! I try to avoid doctors as much as possible.

If you drink Samuel Adams products, Please start boycoting them.

Carin comments on Aug 15, 2018:

I guess I'm already boycotting them since I don't drink. Do they make anything else or just beer?

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@Akfishlady Never tried real hard cider. Only fresh cider that sat in the warm car a while. That's tatsy!

RavenCT comments on Aug 15, 2018:

I like watching "90 Day Fiancee" while I'm online. It shows me what cat fishing is all about! Or "I'd like to buy a green card for $500 Alex!". They are so dumb.... but it's also kind of sad. Some of them are just so broken. Other reality TV usually bothers me because "Why would you do ...

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@helionoftroy It never made sense to me that they had to be naked & not even allowed to make themselves grass skirts. Then they just blur everything out so they may as well be wearing swimsuits or something.

No..dont watch it. Never understood how you go on TV in front of the public and do these things.

Animals and religion

PenLOP comments on Aug 14, 2018:

I think animals have a great deal more going on than we give them credit for. The fact that she communicated her thoughts about death speaks for itself. Oh, and personally, if I were Catholic, I’d be pissed that my former pets wouldn’t be waiting for me in heaven.

Freeofcancer comments on Aug 14, 2018:

I cannot believe that Donald Trump is a theist. I think it is all "put on." Part of the "act.".

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

Absolutely! Never seen in church like the Obamas were.

Was becoming atheist difficult?

TGTARITPNBBGMLT comments on Aug 13, 2018:

No IT was simply a choice.

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

I didn't even see it as a choice. I couldn't really choose to believe in a god that was obviously not there.

OH MY GOODNESS! I had no idea how much work kittens are.

confidentrealm comments on Aug 13, 2018:

So sad. We have a cat that has a deviated diaphragm and the vet won't fix her, so we have the same problem, a multitude of kittens.

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@confidentrealm Huh. Ours didn't do that. Ours just made a lot of noise.

Thanks! Taking that blue bad tasting one right now, but eventually they all stop working & I have to switch. Glad to know there's one that I haven't gone through already.

Carin replies on Aug 15, 2018:

@JustLynnie I'm very happy for you then!

@JackPedigo Sadly, I do. But apparently leprosy & plague are still easily cured.

Anyone else find hitting on people in the comments cringe worthy?
