What's the best financial advice you've received?

Haemish1 comments on Feb 3, 2019:

Stay away from redheads.

Haemish1 replies on Feb 3, 2019:

@Amisja Of course I’ve wondered what it would be like to have ignored that advice ?

Haemish1 comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Sadly chariot racing and burials never caught on in Montana 2,000 years ago :/

Haemish1 replies on Feb 2, 2019:

@Elganned That’s true - the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman has an outstanding dinosaur collection! I’m wondering how chariot racing and dinosaur racing would compare ?

How this became a coroner’s decision eludes me.

Moravian comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Of course the genocide of indigenous people in north central and south America was an appalling episode in history but this research is totally flawed. There was a slight dip in CO2 levels but the "little ice age" started in the 14th century and the genocide of indigenous people probably peaked in ...

@Moravian Very true, but my understanding is that most of the disease had decimated the native populations before the pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock

Is there a love song that taps that deep part of your nature?

MsAl comments on Feb 2, 2019:

Generally no. I think they cheapen it or make me feel like crap because I cant relate to their interpretation of what love looks like. My mom told me she thought of her and my dad in this song when he was away in prison. I'm glad it's not popular because it's very powerful to me and I'm generally ...

Diseases brought over by the Europeans killed far more native people than the Europeans themselves. Think if Steven King’s novel - The Stand.

Just spotted this group.

TheGreatShadow comments on Oct 21, 2018:

Looks like a nice finger picking guitar!

Haemish1 replies on Feb 1, 2019:

@TheGreatShadow I like that tune. Somehow all I can do is finger pick - holding a pick is just strange to me.

Haemish1 comments on Jan 29, 2019:

Regulations, while irksome to big business can also be looked at as creating job opportunities. If a coal burning electric plant needs to clean up its emissions, someone has to design, build and install the needed scrubber system. It may seem onerous to the big industry which had previously been...

I am on the market for a new thermos (specifically for coffee).

KKGator comments on Jan 28, 2019:

My nephew and his wife both use Yetis for their coffee. They swear by them. I've heard they're expensive, but last a long time, and keep hot liquids hot, and cold liquids cold. So, I think this is just another instance of "you get what you pay for".

Haemish1 replies on Jan 30, 2019:

@orange_girl The Contigo brand at Costco are nice, and affordable as well as dishwasher safe! I believe the top screws on, so it can be inverted without spilling.

This song came to mind over the night. Prince of Darkness Ed Miller [m.youtube.com]

FrayedBear comments on Jan 30, 2019:

A fine song that was written in the tradition. Saddened however by the odious God bothering overtones. Thanks for the introduction to both singer and song. I see that he has an extensive recorded repertoire https://musicbrainz.org/artist/c7d7ce36-f214-4ac4-940b-4e2222067e01/recordings

Haemish1 replies on Jan 30, 2019:

My mother was quite disappointed when after listening to it, she realized the song was more about unions than fighting the devil :)

Happy VD

Anyone else on Match.com?

Ragamuffin comments on Jan 29, 2019:

I find that, for all the progress we've made around gender roles, women still hesitate to make the first move. So, yeah, sorry, you're supposed to do all the work. Haven't tried Match.com specifically, though.

Haemish1 replies on Jan 29, 2019:

@SkotlandSkye You’re entitled to like them back, which is then followed by a wink - that is,if you’re completely enraptured by the initial like. After these preliminaries you begin using the pre-written messages Match provides. Done properly, you can communicate for weeks without ever having to actually use the letters on your keyboard:)

Hello and Goodbye, Colorado!

Haemish1 comments on Jan 29, 2019:

Moving to another state with kids is tough. Keep your eyes and heart open - don’t give up:) Colorado is overrated anyway - just kidding. I grew up there, but had my. reasons to leave.

This is just a country song, with a banjo, and a fiddle but cool if you dig it. Almost old time. not bad at all.

Haemish1 replies on Jan 28, 2019:

I found it interesting that an Irish group would turn to Appalachian/ old time music for their inspiration - music/life goes in circles ?

I think Yeti is over priced, and comparable performance can be found for less money. The Reduce brand has been good to me, and has good customer service when I lost the top to my 32 ounce coffee mug.

ToakReon comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I must confess I was entirely unaware of the existence of this sitcom until I looked it up. However, purely from the pictures, the dark-haired girl rather than the redhead.

Haemish1 replies on Jan 27, 2019:

You really didn’t miss a great deal, not knowing about this show. Mary Anne (the brunette) was the quintessential girl next door and somewhat overlooked in comparison to Ginger - who was well aware of her looks and more than willing to use them to her advantage.

Ginger or Mary Anne?

chilehead9 comments on Jan 27, 2019:

Have you heard the theory that each of the characters on that show was supposed to represent one of the seven deadly sins, with Gilligan being Satan himself (since he's the one that invariably foils each attempt at getting off the island)?

Haemish1 replies on Jan 27, 2019:

These would be my guesses for the 7 deadly sins - not sure if they’re good matches though ? Mr Howell = greed Skipper= gluttony Mrs Howell = pride Professor = wrath Mary Anne = envy Ginger = lust Gilligan = sloth

Ginger or Mary Anne?

WonderWartHog99 comments on Jan 27, 2019:

Ginger has the a larger selection of outfits than Mary Ann.

In bed, top sheet or no top sheet?

John_Tyrrell comments on Jan 24, 2019:

Always use a top sheet myself, but it does not bother me when I go to a hotel and there isn't one. I sleep just as well. I'm more bothered by fitted bottom sheets which never fit. Always too tight or too loose. I've never found that mythical goldilocks (just right) fitted sheet.
