Diogenes replies on May 29, 2021:

There are a few 'goodies' that are in common use: "spiritual", "people of colour" (as opposed to people of no colour, which would make them invisible), "finding Jesus" (I didn't even know he was lost), "finding yourself" (now that could be a real big problem).

That is a good one. The first part is a fairly common sentiment, that you have heard in many different forms before, but the grave metaphor, lifts it quite out of the ordinary, and brings a real originality to it. (Plus it gives me an excuse to carry on being the worlds biggest bore. LOL)

Diogenes replies on May 24, 2021:

@Willow_Wisp A truism gets to be just too obvious- anyone knows that 'anything' would have been better than Dump. If either Sanders or AOC had won, I believe that the Trump-thing would have been much closer to prison than he is now. He is still letting the shit fall out of his gob.

As far as exercise goes, now that I am 110 years old, I try to complain about all my aches and pains too--- to be part of the geezer crowd.😜I had to take a driver's test because of age. The fat lady conducting the test said something equaling, "Now that you people are beyond it, try to get your 15 min of low effort exercise every day. The guy beside me said to me, "I skied all day yesterday." I won a 30 day rowing contest in 2017.----- After all this- a big plus to you for getting out and making things happen. You look 'good', delicious!😊 Reincarnation! Humans are at the top of the pecking order. Many should not be. Many animals have more love, respect and intelligence than humans.

Diogenes replies on May 21, 2021:

Bernie Sanders is a 'Jew', only in name; in practice, he is as seculare as anyone in this room. He is not another "Bernie", Bernie Madoff, who stold billions, and even from people he knew. Sanders is trying to get the sale of arms to Israel stopped. I haven't quite figured how South Africa got into this.

Diogenes replies on May 18, 2021:

@Robecology I hate telling the truth, dam! "I don't do that much." Ya, I have done it; but I think "Usetabee" is a city in Asia; "yesterday" doesn't count? Now that I am a geezer I have to do a driver's test every two years. Something funny happened last time. I was talking to a guy about things before this farce began. The condecending, fat-laby that was running the show said something like, "Now old people don;t forget to exercise 15 minutes a day." The guy whispered to me, "I skied all day yesterday.."

Diogenes replies on May 17, 2021:

@Austin-Cambridge This/these lockdowns are starting to drive me crazier. I was already crazy enough- and I don't need the added help. I have seen almost no games this year- not even that one. Albion held on- and must have put on a good show😃!

Sneaky little shit!!!

It’s one reason why I use almond milk. Cats don’t like it.

Diogenes replies on May 16, 2021:

I don't use much milk, none even in coffee. Do you like almond milk?. I have no opinion about it; I can't remember the last time I tried it.

A consideration! I see all these advertisements for these wonderful skin creams that will make a ...

Marionville comments on May 11, 2021:

A good diet, sufficient sleep, fresh air, healthy lifestyle, and above all...to be lucky enough to have inherited good genes, are the best guarantees of a good complexion with few lines and wrinkles. Expensive creams are a con, but as long as people have more money than sense they will continue ...

Diogenes replies on May 16, 2021:

Another "Keith quote😊", but I've actually seen it in a few versions. "Food should be a person's energy sourse and medicine- not their poison." Why would anyone injest every form of junk food, and then see the doctor for pills? Most people like nuts- and nuts provide healthy fats, which helps the skin. Agreed, all the cosmetic adverts are just "money-spinners for the cosmetic industry."

Now that I am 110, I tend to 'think' a bit--- and also lie a lot.

I'm working on a new purpose, I served all my old purposes. I'd love to live to 300 if I have purpose. Without it I'd prefer not to continue. That was the odd thing about moving out west a few decades ago, I don't know the native "wild" flora. I can and did consume lots of food from the forest ...

It would be difficult to mistake dandelions with something else- but a major point, don't make a bad mistake. The best thing is to be with people who know what to look for.

Marionville comments on May 15, 2021:

Thanks for sharing...at times most of us enjoy solitude, it gives us time and head space to think and ruminate, but we also sometimes feel the need to communicate the results of our ruminations with others. We are after all, a gregarious species.

Marje good point, and thanks for that thought.

Robecology comments on May 15, 2021:

@Diogenes...It says you're 83 which is 8 years older than me...and very admirable to have achieved. I would so love to make it to 100 - or 110 - or 120? what's your secret...besides keeping a close watch on the B.P.?

Diogenes replies on May 16, 2021:

I had an uncle that lived to about 97. I really doubt that I would want to live past 100. Even now everything has a superficial feel to it. B.P. wouldn't be what it is if I didn't do a bit of exercise. I wish fitness was open, to talk to friends and use some of the machines. I do a bit of reading about all sorts of subjects. Diets do NOT work. The idea that a person will starve themselves for a few months---- and then get back to "normal" is just planing for failure. I believe that enjoying food is a better idea. Yes, cutting back on the meat and pints may have a different feel, but FRESH fruit and veggies taste good. A bear stuffs itself full of food-then it hibernates- well so do humans that don't care, they stuff themselves and then they fall asleep. I don't have all the answers but I know most diets are bull shit.

It's far too easy to get mesmerized...

Diogenes comments on May 15, 2021:

Being the dirty old man that I am, love that! And I believe "rapist" and child molesters should be hung! "Rape" is no longer any kind of humour.

Diogenes replies on May 15, 2021:

@phxbillcee I agree with you 100%. I don't agree with the remark about "rapist and harassers convention." I walked past a place, must have been a day care In the window were drawings of the pervert's rainbow. Gotta get 'em young and train them. But nobody dares to say a word about that!

Well underwear is certainly getting hotter! :-D

Male designers and husbands want women to wear these tiny bits of vaginally irritating lace . Perhaps if men wore lace that irritated their private parts , they'd understand why wearing lace that scratches those parts does not lead to satisifying sex . Idiots !

Robecology comments on May 13, 2021:

The answer has a lot to do with our pro-Israeli policy. We've been sending Israel over $5 million dollars per day for 72 years. We set them up with hundreds of nuclear-tipped warheads on submarines. We - the USA officials - are supporting a radical Zionism. Here's proof; "Israel is the ...

Diogenes replies on May 15, 2021:

@JackPedigo You would think that after the NAZI genecide, that the Jews would have some empathy; apparently most of them, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM, have none. I knew a bit about the ass hole, Balfour, but I looked it up to get my info. straight. Arthur James Balfour, British Foreign Secretary, on Nov.2, 1917, wrote to Lord Rothschild that Palestine should be a Jewish homeland. That letter is named the Balfour Declaration. Didn't the fucking ass hole know that there were people living there, some for centuries? Were they invisible? Didn't they have tar and feathers, plus rope, for a public hanging, in those days?

I would rather live life than talk about it.

Diogenes replies on May 14, 2021:

@Marionville Okay, Afrikaans is just a mix, but mostly old Dutch. His name, Coetzee, means Coet sea in English. There is a Dutch song about how the Zuiderzee was turned into the IJsselmeer. They built a huge dike in about the 1930s.Schiphol (sp) Airport is built on a polder. The name means "ship hole" Thank you for the quote, but I still see it as a platitude.

Paracosm comments on May 13, 2021:

I think thats a learned trait for a lot of people, especially those who had trauma when they were young. Solitude became a coping mechanism.

Diogenes replies on May 13, 2021:

I certainly had enough trauma when I was a kid. Now, well past my best due date, I am a bit of a hermit- but I have a few friends. I don't miss meeting any more ass holes- the first million were enough!

Last night I watched the 1973 movie, Papillion, staring Steve Mcqueen.
