Fantasy or Sci-Fi

Cast1es comments on Jul 29, 2018:

Depending on my mood at time , I like both . Generically speaking , I find the fantasy garb more interesting , and they can add creatures not likely to ever been seen in ordinary life . Hard science fiction , is full of possibilities , and often tells of things that do indeed eventually come true . Technology has changed reality greatly during my lifetime , and there are more changes to come . I'm reasonably certain hard science fiction contributes to the reality of our future .

If you're the smartest person in the room.

Cast1es comments on Jul 27, 2018:

No matter how smart you are , there's always more you can learn . Just because you're educated in a few areas , doesn't mean you know everything there is to know , about everything there is to know anything about . Unfortunately , there are not always rooms with smarter people available . It's easy to write , to contribute to these forums , but when you're in a room it seems it's always the dumb ones who dominate the conversation . That leaves three choices : 1. Sit there with your mouth shut , even when they're rattling on about things that make no sense whatsoever . 2. Send your mind elsewhere. 3. Get up and leave nearly every social gathering you're likely to be in . What seems be a common thread among the higher IQ folks , is that we don't fit in . This is very true . People are very opinionated . They seldom deal with knowledge or logic . And they don't want to hear anything other than what they believe .

Cast1es comments on Jul 27, 2018:

I was married in 1972 . I remember looking at a VW bug and thinking , the two of us together , working 40 hour weeks , combining our income , and using none of it for anything else , couldn't afford the $1,800.00 to buy that car . NO way , were even the two of us combined earning $34,000 , by 1977 . I keep seeing these made up statistics , that simply aren't true , to provide excuses , for why you're don't have enough income . When there is a huge shift in the lowest wages , the next couple of wage levels , suddenly find themselves at a level they had thought they had worked their way out of , the bottom of the heap again . And the prices on **everything** , will jump , more than the wages were increased . Clinton put a freeze on all government wages for several years . When he decided the government's budget was in order and we could begin to get COLAs again , the first day at work , and all the prices on **everything** had gone up , starting at the soda machine . Someone had put a note on the machine , it's only a 10% increase . and someone else had added , yeah , but we only got a 3% raise . Landlords who had been putting off rent increases , felt they could now increase rent to what they felt they should have been charging all along , groceries went up , gas went up , clothing went up , utilities went up , and none of them only went up 3% . An across the board wage increase for the minimum workers , will put them in a worse place than they already are . Think of this . When you were just a kid , how much did your favorite candy bar cost and how much does it ost now ? The concept you need to keep in mind , is that the value of money changes . The more money people across the board get paid , the less value money has . Check with your parents . Ask them how much they paid for their house and compare that to how much it would sell for today . Then also look at how much they were earning when they bought it , and compare that to how much they earn now .

Need advice! Doing some painting today, decided to check paint on outside window sill.

Cast1es comments on Jul 27, 2018:

Don't know of any product that will take care of that much damage . Looks to me as if the water has already run down behind the lower sill , and may have damaged the framing behind the siding at that lower corner . Noticed a hairline crack in the siding below the sill as well . It's a lot of work you're doing . You may want to consider Hardy Plank if you decide to replace the wood . It's a concrete coated wood , that lasts a lot longer . You can paint over it to match the rest of the house .

Sounds like the problem is not the relationship you share with your younger lover , but in dealing with the child . That would be very difficult unless you can learn not only what the house rules are but understand the reasoning behind them . You'll also find the child may fight you , in hopes of getting it's , "real," mother back . Depending on the age of the child , you may want to consider , how much longer the child will be living at home . By that , I mean , approximately how long will it likely be , before the child goes off to college or to live on it's own . Good luck , hon !

I believe it was Sweden that is now buying other countries trash , because they've gotten so very good at recycling their own , that they don't have enough for all its uses . Iceland is fantastic at sustainable natural energy . India is using recycled materials to build housing for their poor . And you think we're superior because we have Trump ? ? ?

When it's your birthday , you get to choose who will get the money they're setting up a go-fund-me for . When someone posts a question , it turns out to be a link , which then tells you their tale of woe , and why they need your money in order to continue providing their free service . Drive down the street , and the dividers at the intersections have people asking for donations to pay for someone's college education , or because they're homeless , jobless , and hungary .

In fact , they've moved them frequently , the last time being this past Sunday . At one point , they sold 35 of the machines , because they didn't have a place to plug them in . I've read , that a lot of big corporations and even countries have invested in the crypto currencies . Somehow , I feel , even though that's not their intention , that this is likely to work out like a Poncy scheme .
