Do you have a "5 year plan"?

If you're that poor , you should be paying the government less than 20 % of your income . You may also want to consider , moving to a different location .

Cast1es replies on Jul 11, 2018:

When I was a teen , Mom told me a story about a young couple on their honeymoon . The new groom takes his pants off and tosses them on the bed , telling his new wife to put them on . She replies that they won't fit . To which , the groom says , remember that . I'm the man in this house and I wear the pants . At which point the bride takes off her panties and tosses them on the bed , telling to him to put them on , to which the groom replies , they're too small , I'll never get in those . She says , remember that , that's the way it will remain until you change your attitude .

There's always been a double standard. It's even worse for women, trust me on this. It's based, seemingly, on looks and how well one fits into normative behavior. More about looks if one is female. So, normative behavior these days is pretty shitty and shallow so those are the "winning" people....

Cast1es replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@twshield A couple were murdered in the subdivision next to mine , a month or so ago . It is a gated community . A car of several men pulled up to one of the gates , but it was locked so they couldn't drive in . They got out of their car , rolled under the locked gate and broke into a very nice house . The homeowners weren't at home at the time , but when they arrived home , the men tied them up , sitting in chairs , then shot each of them in the head . Because they knew the homeowners were dead , they continued to return to the home over several days , in order to continue to steal things , including money , jewelry , and guns . Because this was big in the news , local reporters , who had spoken with burgarlers in jail , wrote articles about how burgarlers assess homes prior to planning to burglarize them . Casing the joint and writing down information was a common theme . In your opinion , if a homeowner sees behaviour that suggests a crime in the planning stages , should they ignore the actions , because the outsider is well dressed ? Of a different race ? They were pleasant to talk to ? Or do you feel suspicious behavior should be checked out regardless of these conditions ? You may be saving someone's life , and the life you save may be your own .

://[www.businessinsider./science-of-cheating-2017-8] Infidelity. Your thoughts?

JackPedigo comments on Jul 4, 2018:

A truly great book on this subject is "Sex at Dawn" by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha. It shows why and how our system of monogamy is so flawed. That said, to me, anything that breaks up a relationship is a form of infidelity. My first marriage failed because of her affairs and the second, long ...

I read in a similar society , Tibet , I believe , that when a man takes a wife , his brother (s) , are also married to the same woman , due to the lack of females in a society that routinely kills off female infants .

Do Not Make Excuses When White Men Murder

LenHazell53 comments on Jul 3, 2018:

WTF? A little black girl never shot anyone, so white men are all killers? People kill people everyday, other than cases of self defence and a few other extreme cases there is never an excuse. Why single out white men? Sexist racist bigotry!

Cast1es replies on Jul 4, 2018:

I've read that 90% of this countries serial killers are white men . This is sexist racist bigotry . Not the fact the it is recognized .

Self doubt has killed more dreams than poverty ever will... Starfodder

Benthoven comments on Jul 3, 2018:

I think self-'doubt' is good for us. We should always be challenging ourselves. Socrates is cited as saying, "Know thyself," and I think that's so much better advice than "believe in yourself." Beliefs aren't really reality. "I believe I can fly | I believe I can touch the sky" Then I step of the ...

Cast1es replies on Jul 3, 2018:

And yet , there have been people who believed not only they could fly , but many others as well . And the planes go over my home daily .

I've always been interested in remodeling my homes .

Cast1es replies on Jul 3, 2018:

Thank you . Are you working on anything specific ?

I'm super happy. Been trying find more of these collect and read and found a good pile.

brentan comments on Jul 3, 2018:

This has got to stop. Agnosticism is a serious business that leaves no time for happiness, especially for something so frivolous as comic books. I would suggest Dostoevsky for starters.

@cweigle Out of curiosity , if you're not Agnostic , what is it about this group that encouraged you to join ?

Does age matter to you when it comes to love or dating?

I prefer younger men. I’ve dated men my age and older but I’ve found that they can’t keep up with me and they have outdated ideas about women and relationships. I enjoy a lot of things that people around 10-15 years younger than my age enjoy. I like to go to concerts and comedy shows and I ...

We were always taught , don't eat in front of anyone , unless you have enough to go around .

Can’t completely deny this.

Cast1es comments on Jul 3, 2018:

In my opinion , many people have selective hearing and selective memories . They don't want to know , so they choose not hear or listen . Deal with that long enough , and you give up trying , to make yourself heard or understood . If you repeat yourself , they label you a nag , and still make no ...

Buy good shoes which have good arch supports built into them .

Cast1es replies on Jul 3, 2018:

My left foot became very sore , and a red spot appeared on my instep . After several visits to assorted doctors and even an emergency room trip , then a specialist , and Xrays , I was finally diagnosed . They tried to sell me the prescription shoes as well . Didn't need those , but did make a point of getting shoes with a well defined arch support , from that time on . That is no longer a painful problem for me .

Private Pictures

Possibly. However, that would require a mechanism to selected allow some members to view them. Also, private albums often attracts nudity/etc.

@twshield Youcould try swapping other info., such as private account information , then you could send private photos .

Mortgage free at 61 .

Cast1es comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Good for you ! I doubled up on my payments , and reached that milestone decades ago .

Cast1es replies on Jul 2, 2018:

@Bigwavedave Mortgage payments include two parts , the principal and the interest . In the beginning , you're paying almost all interest and very little principal . Think of it like a seesaw . You could be paying as little as ten cents towards principal and a thousand dollars towards interest . So if your next payment would be eleven cents towards principal , it isn't hard to simply add that eleven cents to this month's payment . So you pay your thousand dollar interest payment plus this month's ten cents principal payment plus next month's eleven cents principal payment . Instead of paying $1000.10 , you pay $1000.21. Do this , paying the succeeding month's principal in addition to your designated monthly payment , and you can cut the number of years in half .

Cast1es comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Wouldn't it be nice to use gender non-specific pronouns . Do we really need to identify a person's gender every time we mention someone ? Whose business is it anyway ? Why is it shameful to simply use , " it ", if you're speaking of someone ?

Cast1es replies on Jul 1, 2018:

@Simon1 When I was studying Spanish , I learned that in Spanish , all nouns were either male or female . Why is assigning sex important , when we're speaking about someone , or even something ? If we're talking about someone by identifying them by their profession , sex isn't necessary . Dr. Smith , can be male or female . Teacher Jones can be either male or female . Or , these days , they can be both or neither , or started as one , but chose to be the other , or just dresses that way .

Great suggestion ! I pulled the planters to a more shaded area , and the plants seem to be feeling a little better . I watered them , then , naturally , it rained .

The levels are nice. But the modifiers for the increased difficulty doesn't scale with the level progression of my saving throws. And I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be rolling d10s when all I get are d4s for hit points. Oh. And the dungeons could do for a bit of spice.
