Happy Sunday! It's post your own question day!

Robecology comments on Jul 5, 2020:

My question for today Being a landlord. Pros? Cons? I just bought a Condo-townhome within biking distance of where I live. I'm fixing it up....ceiling fans, new/better ceiling treatment (removing popcorn). New appliances. It's loaded and furnished...right down to the golf clubs ...

Davekp replies on Jul 5, 2020:

Being a landlord is a lot of work even with a consistent tenant . As a vacation rental it’s exponentially more responsibility. #1,#3 are essentially the same scenario. You either labour yourself to maintain the property and bookings or hire and manage some talent to do it for you. This can be time consuming depending how often the clientele changes. #2 Is the most hands off for you.. but comes with a price. I have no experience with this kind of dealing but it sounds like an 18% fee could be a reasonable cost to offload future headaches dealing with renters. #4 Is a little different than 1and 3.. Cleaning is taken care of.. but you still need to cover the booking and front line concerns. Again.. time and stress. At this point In my life I have other interests to pursue. I would go with the fUll service office. I think even a 25% fee would be attractive to me.

What do you collect that not many people know about? For me it's pricey guitar picks. I have far more then I'll ever use and I even tend to keep the ones I've worn down to nubs.

Davekp replies on Jul 5, 2020:

My cat’s whiskers. No idea why. It’s like a lock of hair from your child or something. Have them in a lozenge tin but .. funny enough I reconnected with a cousin a couple of years ago. In random conversation discovered she saves them too. 🤣🤣

Fit50something comments on Jul 2, 2020:

That's about 106 Fahrenheit, which is just about where we are right now in Scottsdale, Arizona. Pretty typical for this time of year, and I've been here for decades, so that would be a "ho hum" for me.

Davekp replies on Jul 2, 2020:

Hardly worth mentioning then. 🤣🤣🤣

Ok here's a weird one: when I heard about "wife sex" a decade or so ago, described as "she just lays...

Davekp comments on Jun 30, 2020:

The sacrifice. lol

Davekp replies on Jul 2, 2020:

@Radu Just the notion of "sacrifice" .. that's the laugh. But hey, whatever floats your boat. Certainly no offence meant to your particular brand of sexual expression. If she's happy playing your scenario,, have at it. :)

.. there are unicorns among us.

dave1459 comments on Jul 1, 2020:

Didn't know unicorns breast feed

Davekp replies on Jul 1, 2020:

Imma thinking there’s many things about unicorns the guys on this site don’t know about. 😁

Dead comments on Jun 27, 2020:

Yeah that is pretty hot

Davekp replies on Jun 27, 2020:

Thanks. I think so too. I tend to go for the understated instead of the overt when it comes to pics on this site. Doesn't usually resonate with the majority here. lol

I had lost all 3 of my roosters to a predator.

Davekp comments on Jun 23, 2020:

What changes have you made so you don't lose these birds too?

Davekp replies on Jun 23, 2020:

@azzow2 I lost 7 birds to a weasel a few years ago. I should add I just lost the heads🤪

What is your favorite *children's book*? Mine is - "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish."

Davekp replies on Jun 21, 2020:

The World of Pooh. I had the 1957 copy of the book. In the early 90's I met a pretty cool girl who liked to transform pieces of furniture into animals with paint.. her fridge was a rhino, etc. I asked her to make me something. She said only if she could have my copy of Pooh which was on a shelf in my apartment. Yes.. even though I was mid 30's and a moving target as far as career and stability, I had my copy of Pooh at hand. So I thought long and hard... and traded it for a piece of her.

Happy Friday! Would you live in a tiny home?

Davekp comments on Jun 12, 2020:

I will be.. and the sooner the better. lol

Davekp replies on Jun 13, 2020:

@FlippantLlama Building! It will be more akin to a very small compound Start with 3 buildings being situated within a wooded, 2 acre area.The largest spaces will be 600 sq, ft. ( a 20 x 30 rectangle) Two of them. One for cooking and entertaining and one for sleep and work/ privacy. As well Initially their will be a utility out building where the electrical and heating will be centralized. Adding small buildings and cabin spaces as we go. I'm looking forward to implementing a couple of different renewable energy strategies. :)

Back Door Psychology Why do heterosexual men fantasize obsessively about anal sex?

Davekp comments on Jun 11, 2020:

Obsessively? As holes go the anus is an option, one of 3 as it turns out ( unless you are creative with other surgically created openings ). I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed. Maybe it’s just me. 🤣🤣

Davekp replies on Jun 11, 2020:

@Wildflower and that is your impression. I, personally, don’t think of it very often.

Only 38 degrees 🔥🔥🔥.

Happycanuck comments on Jun 9, 2020:

Essential cars. There is someone in my 'hood that works in an assembly plant. They were all gung to to get those SUV's out-essential. He went in for about 5-6 days now at home again. Nothing in the News regarding an outbreak but my spider sense is tingling. I will have to see what I can find out.

Magister comments on Jun 8, 2020:

More so is struggling to maintain a facade, and having to do so to hide, fear, shame, depression, sexuality, or whatever it is that it is felt necessary to hide just to get through the day.

MissKathleen comments on May 28, 2020:

Personally, I do not think anyone should ever be blocked from a group. Let the individuals who don’t want to see what one person has to say block them individually. If they offend everyone, everyone will block them and they will effectively be blocked from participating.

Davekp replies on May 28, 2020:

@FlippantLlama I wonder if there is a way for the moderator of a group to be exempted from being blocked by anyone who has joined that thread? So that if I block you in general the only place on the entire site you will see my posts is on this tread. Something to ask the Admin. I suppose.

because it's behind a paywall .

@Marionville I know. If it hadn't been for the paycheck I wouldn't be here either.

There are so many pieces of the puzzle to consider.

callmedubious comments on May 22, 2020:

how many ppl are able to surround themselves with support? most depressives don't have a bunch of friends to begin with.

Davekp replies on May 22, 2020:

I understand you would be dubious.I suspect you are by nature. lol I don't think it's realistic to be able to make everything on the list work out. Just things to work towards. And certainly not all my supports are friends.

There are so many pieces of the puzzle to consider.

Theresa_N comments on May 21, 2020:

Bullshit from a bullshitter. None of those things have anything to do, or very little, with serious depression. You really post something from Carey? He's known to promote quack theories.

Davekp replies on May 21, 2020:

Apparently I really did. Is there anything in those words you can find patently inaccurate?

It's Sunday! That most important day of days - the day you guys ask all the questions! Have fun!

Lorajay comments on May 17, 2020:

How many of you find you get excited about things you used to take for granted? I find that happens to me almost daily now because I have more time to do things more thoroughly than before the pandemic. Yesterday, I found an unopened jar of freeze dried garlic in the pantry that had fallen off...

Davekp replies on May 17, 2020:

I certainly get excited when I find something I think I have either lost, used up or thought was "borrowed". Bought a retro Game Cube for myself for Xmas a couple of years ago.. can't find it anywhere. With all this time on my hands Spyro should be at the end of his journey pounding on Bowser's door. haha

Davekp replies on May 16, 2020:

I would caution against the Cooper. It was the first thing my ex bought when we separated .. her mid life crisis sporty "look at me I'm single" car. It has cost her a lot in repairs. I have driven it and it is little more than a tin box with wheels. Nowhere near the quality of the legendary Austin Mini of yore.

Happy Thursday Friends! What’s the coldest you’ve ever been?

Davekp comments on May 14, 2020:

Hard to pinpoint the coldest I have been, as opposed to the coldest environment or day I have experienced. Growing up in a northern town, but certainly not Arctic by any means, -25 to -30 for days on end was not unusual. But I think the coldest was a day ice fishing on the Bay.. the temp was -45 ...

Davekp replies on May 4, 2020:

You do have a really valid point. the tech we use to "view" the images .. the recording, the editing, the image manipulation.. sizing, placement on a timeline, coloring, etc... can have everything to do with how we perceive the images we watch . Any person with an ounce of thought would never for a second believe any military machine can't come up with this kind of presentation to further their agenda. But I still wish a little willing suspension of disbelief in my life. lol

Broken is a tricky word. Almost two years ago, my cello was leaning against a chair, tumbled off, and the entire neck popped off and with all the pressure on the strings there was an amazing sprong noise.

Happy Friday! What are movie quotes you use on a regular basis?

Davekp comments on Apr 24, 2020:

Movies, plays, novels, poetry.. the stream of "words of others" is endless. I sometimes feel I never have an original thought. "Home again, home again. Jigeddy Jig"

@Haemish1 Lol.. nah.. that's not where it's from (but I do know the nursery rhyme)... For me it's the original Blade Runner.. when we see Sebastian's apartment for the first time. He has animatronics that greet him at the door. :)

Happy Thursday! Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?

Lauren comments on Apr 23, 2020:

My list is the same as yours, and I add ESL speakers because people don't seem to have the patience to let them talk (plus, they're usually really interesting). Also, I occasionally leave treats for my postal workers in my mailbox, particularly right now.

Davekp replies on Apr 23, 2020:

I agree with the ESL point.. I’ve taught in a couple of different situations both in Canada and abroad. Letting someone who is learning a language struggle in front of you is way too uncomfortable for most people to deal with. Lol

Well did he?

Well, Inam a single gay man and nobody tells me I am beautiful. Js

Davekp replies on Apr 21, 2020:

@Ceaselessmind Why, thank you to you. And to be sure I only mentioned orientation because it was a point of yours.. I don't usually think in such terms. :)

Happy Tuesday! What food is delicious, but a pain to eat?

@t1nick Yes.. NS is beautiful. Did you also bike the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton? I've driven the trail a couple of times but never been up to the challenge of biking it.

Happy Friday! It's payday and time to pay the bills! What bills do you resent having to pay?

KKGator comments on Apr 17, 2020:

The credit rating system IS a racket. It's a total scam. We've all been led to believe that we "need" to have "good credit" to do anything. It's just another method to arbitrarily overcharge and penalize people. It should be illegal for landlords and employers to look at anyone's credit rating, ...

Agreed

Happy Thursday! What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of?

Davekp replies on Apr 16, 2020:

@itsmedammit It's very different from Brazil.. an incredible journey through time and space, good and evil. I envy you your first screening. I remember being absolutely stunned at some of the scenes and ideas.

A thought on dating in the New World.

Davekp comments on Apr 15, 2020:

For sure the idea of "contracts" of a certain nature became more in vogue when the notions in "50 Shades of Grey" were introduced to popular fiction. If you know what you are looking for, the number of visible submissive Day Collars are quite common in urban areas where counter cultures thrive....

Davekp replies on Apr 16, 2020:

@Larry-new I wouldn't be too judgmental about that.. you did say "New World" :)

A buddy sent me this and it made me laugh and at the same time it made me sad.

Theresa_N comments on Apr 16, 2020:

Evangelical christianity happened is what. Most of tRumps supporters are white christian evangelicals. Everywhere evangelical christianity dominates, whether the US or Brazil, liberty and democracy are sacrificed to tyranny. They're not the only force, there's conservative catholics and the 1% ...

I have had the fortune of a dry. and sunny spring here in Central/East coast Florida; so I've been biking every day. I rarely go on the designated bike lanes....too afraid of cars, and I go too slow for most of the bikers who use that lane...but fortunately there's a path along the highway that ...
