When it comes to love. What form of expression ( besides a kiss) makes your emotions feel it?

lauraleigh38 comments on Sep 29, 2018:

Reciprocation of emotion and desire, of love and trust, of commitment and loyalty...all of it. If I feel something...they show me that they feel it too..somehow. There is nothing more blunting of my emotions than a unspoken message from the other person that it is not reciprocated. There is nothing ...

The people who scream the loudest against abortion just happen to be the ones who scream the loudest about welfare mothers. It's the Circle of Hypocrisy. "Round and around and around it goes. Where it's gonna end, nobody knows" Ball of Confusion ~ The Temptations

Lavergne replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@jorj you are right - women can and do carry condoms.....and we take birth control pills or have IUD's implanted. The responsibility has always fallen largely on our shoulders.....and that's fine. So be it.....but don't tell me (women) that we can't have the final say in our reproductive choices. I have two grown sons and I told both of them that there is a huge difference between being a sperm donor and a dad. And if they couldn't distinguish that - then they were not ready to be a parent.

@jorj ....oh and BTW, somewhere around high school age, most boys discovered something called "condoms". Simple little gizmo - and prevents pregnancy in a fairly high percentage of cases. So I call bullshit on men having "zero choice".

Their ultimate dream is to have a massive "for profit" prison system which will be full of - well, frankly - anyone who is not a WASP.

His base is not embarrassed at all - they still haven't figured it out. They truly believe that everything he says is true.....and that he's kept alllll of those fabulous promises he made them.

Yes....I have experienced that same feeling...

Lavergne replies on Sep 16, 2018:

I've always been a "people watcher".....I love to get to know what makes people "tick". And the more people you get to know, the more your realize just how interesting and intruiging they can be.

Just gave the cat a bath...how can something that small fight like a hellhound? :)

BobbyJaan comments on Sep 16, 2018:

What a beautiful Maine Coon. Mine lived to 18 and I never had the courage to try and give him a bath. When he got to old to clean himself I just had to brush him more to prevent matting of the fur.

thank you - actually, they are/were Lynx marked Himalayans....

What personality characteristics seem to go with certain christian denominations?

Lavergne comments on Sep 16, 2018:

I do believe you've nailed it....

I'd never consider that unless I wanted to be shredded! Did she draw blood? Gorgeous cat!

Lavergne replies on Sep 16, 2018:

thanks - she was part of a "bookend". Two sisters that were identical except one got bigger than the other. We lost the sister back in January of this year.....I've had them since they were 6 wks old and this was their 20th year with me. When she goes, they'll have to put me on Thorazine.

Aren't cats self cleansing

Lavergne replies on Sep 16, 2018:

she was up until just a few weeks ago. she's pushing 21 and having some problems with incontinence now. It breaks my heart to think of lies ahead.

What moral code do you follow now that you are non-religious?

Hicks66 comments on Aug 15, 2018:

Haven't really found a codified behaviour that sums up all my ideals. But when things are peachy, it doesn't really matter. But when they turn to shit, and they will, it is my endeavour to be a level head and help where best I can. Somewheres I wrote a hierarchy of behaviour. A sort of flow chart ...

sounds about right to me...

What hair color of the opposite sex are you more attracted to ?

CK-One comments on Jun 4, 2018:

I'm really into redheads?, except for brunettes they're lovely. ? And oh boy blondes are hot ? Of course brown sugar, pink, purple, platinum and silver are super amazing too. Basically, I like hair. Probably because I'm lacking. ?

Lavergne replies on Sep 15, 2018:

that is hilarious....to be honest - most of us (women) have been all of the above hair colors at one time or another.

Did you lose friends because Trump?

Lavergne comments on Sep 15, 2018:

I spent 25 years working with a group of die hard republicans - they referred to me as their token tree hugging, granola crunching, birkenstock wearing liberal. They were kidding (sort of) but I developed pretty thick skin. But even that didn't prepare me for the vicious way some of my friends ...

Lavergne replies on Sep 15, 2018:

@Redcupcoffee tuned some of them out....turned the rest of them off. In my younger days, I would have enjoyed engaging them in spirited discussions but these days I just find myself shrugging and saying "meh". ;)

Prostitutes, lovely prostitutes.

AtheistReader comments on Aug 30, 2018:

This is interesting. I was just thinking that this online dating thing has been instructive about my own double standards. I've met a couple of highly intelligent and wonderful women to whom I did not find myself physically attracted. Am I that shallow? Probably. But then I felt unsure of how to ...

Lavergne replies on Sep 14, 2018:

I totally get what you're saying.....for me, it was always about the chemistry. It doesn't matter how great you look or how interesting and/or compatible your profile sounds - it takes actual face time to see if that chemistry (spark) is there. And if its not - that has to be the hardest, most awkward spot to be in. :(

What is your absolute favorite TV show of all time?

Loved it.

What is your absolute favorite TV show of all time?

JeremyTaylor comments on Sep 6, 2018:

So many to choose from. I think Breaking Bad and The Wire might be the two best shows I've ever seen. There is just something transcendent about them that elevates them from TV to art. The Good Place may very well be the smartest show currently airing, mixing ethics, moral philosophy, pratt ...

I'm with you on Person of Interest and Justified.

Are you a romantic? Are you passionate in a nonsexual context?

mikebeed comments on Sep 9, 2018:

Absolutely, I write letters, poems, spend time going through cards to find just the right one, giving flowers (doesn't always have to be roses).There is nothing better than seeing a woman smile and her eyes light up.

Lavergne replies on Sep 13, 2018:

good man, Charlie Brown!

Are you a romantic? Are you passionate in a nonsexual context?

PalacinkyPDX comments on Sep 11, 2018:

I'm an 'affectionatist' and a 'co-cozyist.' Romantic is a little too theatrical to me, like someone's trying to put on a show or sell something. If I love you, you don't need to sell me on yourself or make a big show of it. Consistency means more than grand gestures.

Lavergne replies on Sep 13, 2018:

I totally get that.....I must be one of those, too.

Why are men too much attracted to sex?

JustKip comments on Sep 12, 2018:

It's part of God's plan

Lavergne replies on Sep 13, 2018:

now that's funny!

Any ideas?

birdingnut comments on Sep 13, 2018:

Alan Rickman! :-)

Lavergne replies on Sep 13, 2018:

@Avicenna I personally thought Rickman was the only thing that "made" the movie. He was hilarious.....

How long do you stay married in a sexless relationship???

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 11, 2018:

27 years after no sex, 33 years total. I thought we loved deeply, just no sex....wrong again! Taking care of my needs myself, because of things in my history, was perfectly fine....but then he (who insisted on the no sex, not me) cheated. A lot. Now I get a nice alimony check every week for the ...

not sure if I am also an introverted extrovert......or an extroverted introvert. :)
