I keep seeing notices about where Beto has gone to campaign , but have not read one word about his politics , or what he stands for . I've begun to believe his campaign is based solely on the the concept , of , "I'm not Ted Cruz ."

Cast1es comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I am a realist , but there are certain kinds of magic I do believe in . For instance , I know that a lot of scientific facts were developed , proven , and went into creating computers . From my point of view , they are still magic . Using a computer , we can send communications , pictures , movies , scientific data , recipes , greetings , videos and a lot of other things through the air , not using wires , and all of this information can be received and viewed by friends I've made using info I picked up on the internet , who are on the other side of the world . Yes there are those who understand and can explain how it all works , down to the tiniest microchip , resistor , and capacitor .

What’s the worst break up you’ve had?

Cast1es comments on Aug 30, 2018:

While the first set applies , that's just the surface . There is so much more to women than appearance . But I often get the impression that men can't see more than appearance . Over my lifetime , I've accomplished things , that some of the men I've known , wouldn't have even tried to do . But I can accept that there are men who have done more than I ever could . Women , like men , can do and be a wide variety things , and can accomplish a lot , and have every right to take pride in their accomplishments . Life is about more than appearances .

Four Hour Sleep Cycle I thought it was a function of getting old.

Cast1es comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Sometimes , I find this as well . Learning to read my body signals , was a very good plan , and helps . When my legs hurt , and are swollen , especially at night , I've had something that contains salt , even if it's in such low amounts that normal people wouldn't recognize it . When I feel faint because I just got up , and deep breathing seems to help , I think it's because my iron and vitamin D3 are low . If my mouth is dry , no matter how much or what I drink , it's because my sugar/glucose levels are too high . If I get up to go to the bathroom , but am too shaky to get there , stop at the fridge , because my blood sugar level is too low .

No real problems there .

Ill-defined?

Cast1es comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Your definition does not include being part of an organized group or using that specific term to identify oneself , nor does it mention turning women into sex slaves . It defines those who are involuntarily not having sex as being an incels . And yes there were men in the old testament who were not having sex , involuntarily , as well as some who used women as sex slaves . Your point ?

Oh , ok , I was wondering what , "shut shaming ," was . I think your ID was one of the first I began to recognize , when I first signed on . Always good vibes . Please don't go . We each make mistakes now and then . None of us are perfect . Your apology and correction for your misunderstanding or theirs is more than enough . Please don't leave us .

So what are your plans for Labor Day?

Cast1es comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Ancient history . I had recently moved to a new spot within the agency I was working for . I was pregnant and due in mid October , but worked overtime Labor Day , one year . Suddenly some international crisis happened . I was tearing six ply copies with carbon paper between , from the computers like mad , and sorting them into the assorted stacked inboxes , while the computers were setting off all kinds of emergency bells . This went on for hours . Finally I gave up trying to get all the carbon paper and other trash in the burn bags , just left most of the trash build up all over the floor . Eventually , things calmed down and I got to go home , for the evening . The next morning , by the time I got in to work , the others had stacked the bags I had filled on some kind of carts , and were nearly finished bagging the sea of carbon paper and other trash in bags to clear up the mail room floor . Then they told me what had gone on in the world , and that I should have called someone to help me . I hadn't had a number or known who to call , or even what to tell them .

Cast1es comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Not all younger men are looking for a temporary relationship with an older woman . Some make it permanent because it works for them , just as some younger women prefer being with an older man . Each way has it's own advantages .

Cast1es comments on Aug 28, 2018:

The guilt , is because you made a promise you fully intended to keep . While it seemed like the right thing to do at the time , there are things you don't know and can't even imagine that happen , that you have realized make keeping that promise a matter of making people miserable for the rest of their lives . You're caught between a rock and a hard place . Better one broken promise than letting things continue to get worse for all concerned . It's time to start over . Figure out what you want your new path to be . Who do you want to be . A marriage can leave you with a lot of bad stuff , you don't want in your life . Find a new direction for yourself . Make choices . Decide what habits you made , while you were married , that you don't want to live with . Find your new goal , your new direction , and figure out what you need to do to get there . Now is the time !

What's In A Name?

Cast1es comments on Aug 27, 2018:

Ever wonder why women change their name when they marry , but men don't ? You are giving up your connection to your tribe/family/loyalty , and aligning yourself with your husband's tribe/family . You are leaving your father's possession and becoming a possession of your new husband . I used to think it was romantic . Before I married , I asked my soon to be husband if he would be willing to change his last name to mine . Doesn't work in reverse . They would not feel honored . I kept my ex's last name , for the benefit of our children . I figured it would be easier for them it we shared the same last name . But for the most part , people know me by my first name , not by my last . My ex is not a part of my life . I don't identify with him or his family . I truly want no connection with them .
