Lavergne's Profile

So, I’m falling in love with someone.

Lavergne comments on Nov 11, 2018:

Someone who is a lot smarter than me said "tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". If you walk away now, you will be haunted forever by the "what if's" and "if only's"..... Try to remember that we are ALL just passing thru - none of us know what our expiration date is....

Lavergne replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@ejbman That is exactly right.....and when you are truly "there" for someone - whatever issues they have (health or otherwise) become a little easier to deal with.

Ok. Let's make this fun. Intimacy and relationship-wise. Women? Your thoughts on men as well.

MarvelAnn comments on Nov 11, 2018:

Woman--connecting with someone, anyone; even if a stranger and for a brief moment; Men--scratching their balls. I see it all the time in public. Its truly revolting and apparently, those things are really itchy which is why so many do it daily let alone weekly.

Lavergne replies on Nov 11, 2018:

Many years ago, I worked for a guy who would come up to you to have a conversation and while he was talking, he would "rearrange his package" and then grab a comb out of his back pocket and run it thru his hair. Most bizarre thing I've ever seen....

I have seen Free Willy have they made the sequel yet Free Pussy?

That was totally unexpected . In reality , I read that the whale they used for the movie was in an aquarium in Mexico m and it was too small for him . I think he has since died .

Lavergne replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@Xanadutoo ..kind of speaks volumes about how mankind seems compelled to contain or confine ...in the name of "love" or "kindness". ????

My thoughts are with you.... hope you and your loved ones are safe. It beats me how half your country can vote for a moron!

Lavergne replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@jondspen Yes, I'm well aware of that. It's very rare, though that they stray from their designated path.

Lavergne replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@jondspen trumps campaign gurus played the numbers game well and made sure to make inroads where the electoral college numbers count would make a difference. That was coupled with Hilliary's mistake in taking the rust belt states for granted. The people I talked to who voted for him all said the same thing: they were not at all impressed with him but they thought the country needed someone other than a career politician. Right idea - but wrong choice. The press should have done a better job of exposing the early years of trumps business/career. He has always been grossly incompetent and has taken every one of his businesses into bankruptcy after skimming the cream off the top. Had he surrounded himself with the best and brightest in each field he might have actually been able to get a couple of positive things done - but because he believes that HE alone is the best and brightest we will see things get a lot worse before they get any better. Top of the list for me: Electoral college needs to go.....but you don't hear very many people beating that drum.

It has always amazed me how the poorest of them stand around cheering for someone who couldn't possible imagine how their lives actually are and who talks about poor people like they are despicable - and they don't realize he's talking about THEM. They all believe they are just one winning lotto ticket away from being just like tRump.

Trump pushes back at Michelle Obama - CNNPolitics

He knows that his own wife comes up appalling short when measured against Michelle Obama - and it drives him crazy. From what I can see (and hear) she hasn't come up with a single original thought since ascending to the "throne".....which is what the two of them think happened.

yes - he deserves all the "hustlers" and golddiggers that he may attract. Once they are done with him, they will drop him and move on to their next victim. :) ;)

Well that was disappointing.

Piece2YourPuzzle comments on Nov 7, 2018:

Why is it a surprise? It's been going on forever, and the most recent time was just 2 years ago.

Lavergne replies on Nov 9, 2018:

@Bigwavedave A number of people voted for trump simply because he was NOT a career politician and for some reason they seemed to think that would be enough to bring about some positive change. ???? I never could figure out how they could possibly think a reality TV game show host would actually be able to bring about any positive changes - unless he had surrounded himself with the best, brightest, most highly qualified people in their respective fields. But, alas, that was not to be - instead he brought in people who were unqualified at best - and some who publicly avowed to do away with the very agency they were picked to head. So in the end - what we saw (rambling idiot) is exactly what we got. :(

Well that was disappointing.

Della comments on Nov 7, 2018:

Nukdookum comments on Nov 8, 2018:

Intimacy is being close with someone. There is physical intimacy which can be holding hands, kissing, sex, or anything that brings two or more people together in a very personal way. Sports is not physical intimacy. There is emotional intimacy. That is where you feel close to someone but it ...

Lavergne replies on Nov 7, 2018:

you are exactly right....he is only in this for his ego and his wallet. The harder the dems push, the more he uses his "poor victim" status to create an even bigger base for himself. We need to be careful not to feed right into what he wants....or we'll be dealing with an executive order that says he can be president for life. Never mind that he can't do it - he's become very adept at doing all the things that we know he can't do - and if his base continues to grow we'll never be rid of this cancer.

What are some warning signs that a relationship is not going to work?

KissedbySun comments on Nov 5, 2018:

Incompatible life goals Financial recklessness Incompatible sexual preferences

Lavergne replies on Nov 5, 2018:

I have to agree - the three you cited are pretty important. Easily ignored during the early, heady passionate new love stage but then become relationship killers down the road.

I can't think , especially the older I get , any other things that matter in life .

Lavergne comments on Nov 4, 2018:

I totally agree with you... We all took Civics in school and if you don't know even the very basics of how our democratic republic works, then maybe you shouldn't be given the right to vote.

Lavergne replies on Nov 4, 2018:

@Pen-n-Ink And that's my point. If all it takes to vote is to be able to fog a mirror then at some point this country is going to be in deep doo doo. I'm not suggesting the biased type of testing that was done back in the Jim Crow era - that was voter suppression in its highest form. But there has to be some sort of middle ground here, don't you think?

Lavergne replies on Nov 4, 2018:

@powder perhaps if people were more educated in how the system actually works, things like the electoral college would be eliminated and there would be more restrictions in how the entire lobbying industry is run. What we have right now is a system that runs on greed, graft and corruption. Those who excel at that are the ones cashing in. Are you suggesting just sticking your head in the sand and pretending none of that exists is the way to fix it?

that's a cop out. When you're 16 you have to take both a written and a driving test to prove that you're capable of driving a vehicle. Seems like deciding who and how our gov't gets run is at least as important as that.....

I have one of those - she used to make a noise that sounded more like a dog growl than a cat noise....and she would sit up and beg for table scraps just like a dog. Now that she's very old (21) she acts more like a cat - maybe because she's an only child now. ???

You have totally missed the mark. When they speak of a "real woman"....they are referring to a woman who has made the choice to accept herself (not just her body) for who and what she is.....she doesn't feel the need to starve herself and become a gym rat in order to have a rail thin body. She...

Lavergne replies on Oct 31, 2018:

@Tibert ....honey, you're adorable. We're just trying to explain to you that not all women are unkempt, with sagging boobs, big hips and cellulite. Some women take good care of themselves....and some don't. Just like you guys - some of you are better looking as you get older (Richard Gere?) and some of you don't age well at all. But -and I'm going out on a limb here - I think that women have a tendency to look past the exterior packing and find what makes a man really special. We'd like to think that some men can do that as well.....

As we all know.

@nikkir They need to figure out how to make the Suboxone affordable. I have a friend who is on it - and its keeping her on the straight and narrow - but it costs her just under $300 a month cause she doesn't have insurance. That's insane. My understanding is that as the 10 yr patent expiration date approached, the company figured out how to make it into sublingual "strips" which allowed it to start another 10 year cycle of price gouging as it was considered a "new" product. ?????

So I decided to by "organic" milk that comes from farms that kiss their cows daily or some shit.

Lavergne replies on Oct 28, 2018:

@Spongebob The only seafood we get here has been previously frozen. When we lived in Pascagoula, MS many years ago, we would go down to the docks and buy shrimp fresh off the boat. $2 a lb. That tells you how long ago that was. No sardines here....all the fish (tuna, mackerel, cod etc) comes as "steaks" and most of it is labeled "farm raised in _________ ". Also "previously frozen". Every once in awhile, someone gives us some fresh caught trout when they've had a really good fishing trip.

After watching this video it is amazing to me that people are so brainwashed to actually believe in this nonsense.

Lavergne replies on Oct 27, 2018:

You have no idea how totally clueless people can be. The term sheeple is totally appropriate for a large segment of the population who simply will not - or can not - think for themselves in any kind of rational way.

I believe the phrase (according to Bill Maher) is "whiny little bitch".... hahahaha

This is an awesome straw bale Greenhouse.

Lavergne comments on Oct 26, 2018:

what a great idea....

Lavergne replies on Oct 26, 2018:

@Sheannutt I'm assuming the straw bale idea is not too workable in very humid/rainy climates?

@ugly I adored Ricky Nelson....and the Everly Brothers. We (giggly silly females) called them "dreamy". Nothing much has changed - the staff on one of the popular TV hospital shows called one doctor McDreamy....and the newest one McSteamy. ;)

Would you consider yourself difficult to get along with, deal with, or live with?

Adronitis comments on Oct 26, 2018:

"Complicated" was the word used by last guy I dated. Lol. And the one before that. But I'm an easy going person to live with. Wait... I live by myself now... Nevermind?

Lavergne replies on Oct 26, 2018:

I've been called complicated a number of times....I just consider it a compliment - means you and I dance to the beat of our own drum - and that should make us "interesting"..."fascinating"..."hilarious" at the very least????? ;) ;)

Beowulfsfriend comments on Oct 25, 2018:

Language is pretty galling isn't it. Some feel their spleen is attacked while others just have heart to heart talks. Butt, we do the best we can, especially trying to avoid knee jerk reactions.

now that's good.....much better than my brain farts.

Love watching DeSantis lose his shit. It's hilarious.

Lavergne replies on Oct 26, 2018:

@phxbillcee ....only thing funnier was that stupid commercial he did showing how he was already indoctrinating his poor children to be trumpsters.

Or pot either.

Lavergne comments on Oct 25, 2018:

Ain't that the truth? And every year that goes by, I grow more and more impatient with ignorance and blind bias and intolerance. :(

Lavergne replies on Oct 25, 2018:

@ugly ....sounds like you might need some intensive therapy. Would you like to schedule an appointment? A little "shock therapy".... hahahahahaha

@ugly ...are you saying you're ignorant, biased or intolerant? ;) ;)

Because Republicans know they are wrong about people, societal values and empathy.

Trajan61 comments on Oct 24, 2018:

The liberals are generally the more violent ones. They probably sent the bombs themselves so they could blame the republicans.

Lavergne replies on Oct 25, 2018:

@Trajan61 ....oh riiiiiiight. I forgot we were living in world where truth, reason and reality don't exist anymore. We all going round and round on the trumplethinskin merry go round......stop, please, I'd like to get off.

brentan comments on Oct 24, 2018:

No doubt the Democrats sent them, making sure they were intercepted.

Lavergne replies on Oct 25, 2018:

@SukiSue yup. I totally agree. Trump desperately needed a change in the conversation. This was all done for the publicity and the distraction it would create.

Lavergne replies on Oct 25, 2018:

sorry but this has trump's stench all over it. Not saying he personally ordered it - but he is the master of distraction and now no one is talking about how much money he makes off the Saudi royal family, etc etc

I must unload.

ProudMary comments on Oct 24, 2018:

There are far too many people in this country who are living on the edge. Honestly, if something isn't done about it soon I don't think it's going to end well.

Lavergne replies on Oct 25, 2018:

I agree - I can feel it building up - a strong undercurrent of resentment and disillusionment. And, you're right - it will not end well.

This feeling has been coming on for some time...

Lavergne replies on Oct 24, 2018:

wouldn't be surprised if this was just not another freakin' distraction - the news has been putting too much of a spotlight of trumplethinskin over the Saudi murder and he needs us to all be talking and focusing on something else....

Donald must be so proud of himself

Lavergne replies on Oct 24, 2018:

He is....this is part of how he manipulates the markets - so all his buddies (and family) can buy on the dips and sell when it goes back up. He said straight up during the campaign that he didn't see any reason why he couldn't make a lot of money while being president....

I thought they were supposed to be crushed as though they were going into a recycling bin. Have I been doing it wrong?

Ever notice how right before an election some folks seem to get a little bit touchier? ouch!

escapetypist comments on Oct 22, 2018:

I only let things that truly matter in my life upset me, like why the heck does someone not start filling out a check while standing in line at the cashier?

Lavergne replies on Oct 23, 2018:

@ilovemonkeybutt the other day, after a woman had taken FOREVER to get checked out including having to slowly write that check she said to the cashier "oh - I forgot to give you all my coupons".
