My friend is going through some major issues related to PTSD and is looking for resources in the ...

Leutrelle comments on Feb 26, 2018:

The key is to go to the right doctor. PTSD can have a variety of sources. The doctor whoo can deal with the source is the doctor to see.

I've had depression an social anxiety for as long as I can remember.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 26, 2018:

I don't know what to tell you. I know your neighborhood makes a difference. I would talk to therapist. There is a way to get past this trouble you are experiencing. I have always been able to fight my way out of trouble, but there have been times where it was beyond my ability to solve my problem by my self, so talk to some one.Your friends are an invaluable resource.

WWYD?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 26, 2018:

When I think of someone suffering, I think of of a mortal threat. If they were not a mortal threat to me, I would help. I grew up where allies meant everything. I had 2 friends killed by biker clubs, and I carried a fie arm just in case. If I could have helped my dead friends, I am sure I would have.

I like it when the words are written with the song. I have a hard time hearing the words.

Hello tribe! I saw this online and thought it fit this group.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 26, 2018:

I AM STILL LOOKING FOR MY TRIBE. This is a very close tribe, but I am still looking;)

Have you ever known anyone to fall victim to a scam? Or, are most people wary enough to avoid them?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 26, 2018:

I know of one who went to a meeting that was to be rewarded with a place to stay and a good dinner at a high end resort. He wasted his trip and got nothing in return. I went to a resort in Kauai, and they wanted to sell time shares. I received a call saying I was supposed to go to one of their meetings. I said "OK", but I unplugged my phone, and never heard from them again. I saw the the poor fuckers who were listening to the very long presentation, and just smiled. I missed the sales pitch factor.

Hello, My name is Bill.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 24, 2018:

That is the saddest story I have read. You must be tough, so I hope for something to come into your life that lift you up.

My mom has cancer.

There is no expiration date stamped on you.

When someone invites you to a wedding, how do you feel?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I officiated at many weddings, and it is no my favorite event.

Has anyone else watched Electric Dreams on Amazon streaming?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I have not, but I will check it out.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I grew up in the Bay area in the sixties. Good times:)

DDD

Leutrelle comments on Feb 21, 2018:

The older I get the more DDD's I realize I have. There is at least one that would put me in prison. I am glad I have been able to compartmentalize, other wise I would go crazy;)

Oldies but Goodies..

Leutrelle comments on Feb 21, 2018:

I loved classic rock, but my parents didn't. I loved Neil Young, Rollin Stones, Moody blues, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Harvey Mandrel, the Kinks, the Animals, the Beetles, Miles Davis, Ziggy Star Dust, Jefferson Air Plane, Alice Cooper, and so many more.

Do you save seeds from your veggie garden to plant next year?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 20, 2018:

I save heirloom seeds. I am changing windows in my house this spring, and plan to build a green house with the old windows. I am looking forward to gardening again:) We live at 5000 feet, and a green house is necessary. I will be digging out some of my old seeds, and will plant them next year.

I am going to perch fishing at a lake I live about a half mile from.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

I just ate some Fish Fry perch!! It is the best fish in the water!!:)

Is it normal to have a phobia of webs?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

I thought you were talking computer, but I think you were. I would say roll a big fat one and do some therapy:)

We all have been in situations like this.. anyone care to share..

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

I can not feel that puppies pain. The only place I remember was in a completely different context. In the sixties I was camping about twenty miles off road at a designated camping spot in Yosemite (it might have been RAINBOW FALLS). I had encountered a big black bear early in the day. It walked through our camp ground while we were eating lunch! We wondered why the bear didn't just eat us? We just ate dinner and we raced to the the out house. I got there first, and my buddy told me,"Hey there is a bear out side the out house"! I said "Bull Shit", and he replied "I can show you! "I said open the door". He carefully used a stick to open my door. He said, "See I told ya". If I ever had a problem dealing with call to nature it was then. That was the biggest bear ever saw at 10' , and I never seen a bigger bear! I just yelled, "Close the god damm door, throw a rock at him!! It was like magic, and I was out of the squeeze;)

Are there enough Brits on this site to warrant setting up some kind of group?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

We will miss you.

To all the old men like me (over 60): Don’t you love and hate this group at the same time?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

Who are you calling old? I am getting ready to start my fifth business. I may not be a part of the new generation, but this old generation still has a part to play.

Mystery: Who is this?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

My guess is Fidel Castro.

A little over a year ago, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

I know only people who have died of cancer. So I understand when you are happy. I only hope that your recovery continues. You have great courage;)

How do I back out gracefully?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

Love is more than your intellect:)

Has anyone read the Communist Manifesto?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 17, 2018:

The Communists Manifesto is just another idea of government. Every government has failed! If everyone was good people the communist idea of government would work.

Do you have a family member (or person in your life) that you just don't want to deal with?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

My dad is a Born Again Xian. He was a bully, and sadistic father. Even with his Xian position he is not able to apologize for his wrong. I have not talked to him for 25 years.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Makes me wonder why we elected them;)

Do you trust the government as a source of information?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

I do not trust the government. With NSA listening to our phones, monitoring our computers, and tracking our credit cards: Hell No! I could talk about lobbyist, but we can do that another time;)

Spring is here!! I don't care what the calendar says.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

You make me sick, or I am jealous:)

What Kids Are Really Learning About Slavery - The Atlantic

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

It is hard to believe. As a youngen we all new about slavery and how unjust slavery was, and the civil war was fought to correct this unjust conduct. I would think that parents would chime in and help their children understand.

Running on 3 hours sleep

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

As a mechanic I don't quit on assembly of an engine, or transmission unit until it is finished. Other wise I wonder if I for got something.

What do you do that makes other people say "ew?"

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Well I eat the entire apple, seeds and all. I like chicken, deer, and beef liver;)

Is there a non-cringy way of telling someone you think they look nice on a given day?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

It's a mine field. Use extreme caution;)

Such a pickle...

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

I wish my brained worked better today. Right now I will say, "thats above my pay grade";)

More than thoughts and prayers; action!

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

I didn't grow up with mass shootings. There was murder, and drug related murder, but no mass shootings. Something has changed in our society, I don't think it is just about guns. I wonder why some people are willing to plan, and then execute defenseless people? What is wrong with their brain? What is different in society now? What makes society more dangerous today, than the 60's or 70's?

To what extent do you believe "with age comes wisdom?"

Leutrelle comments on Feb 16, 2018:

I think wisdom comes from the ability to shed light on a subject which was discovered through refection on an experience, or perhaps a blunder.

These are two topics that are very much present at my family dinner table.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

Civility is what is missing in much of political and religious discourse. We could learn much from each other with a little respect. I think we are manipulated by the media, and our politicians. I always wonder who benefits from such a polarized politician?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

The government will never take precedence over personal protection. We all must become aware of the threats that we face.

Have you ever had a stalker?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

I have no experience with this, but it is one reason I think women should be trained in self defense, and lethal force.

Here’s a helpful guide for discussions :)

Inter personal communication is key:)

Great photos. I wish I could have been there:)

Emotional Armor

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

One of my children was a drug addict. I practiced hard love, and I am proud of this child, and my grand child. My child over came the addiction, and is a very responsible human. Don't give up.

To all you Moms and Dads, quit being so damned hard on yourselves.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

My kids went through many hard times, and as parents we had our share of disappointments. I can tell you that I am proud of all of my adult children, and grand children.

Well, did the NRA congress start offering thoughts and prayers to the victims of the school shooting...

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

It's a cop out to blame he NRA. They only represent responsible gun owner ship. I only hope we can see that hate is our real enemy. No body with a sane mind is going to kill. I am barely sane, and assure you that I would never kill any one.

What is going to take?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

ISIS hates anyone who doesn't agree with their hard line politics. This is a war against basic freedom. if you are a woman and desire to wear a burka then you are safe. Other wise we have to view it as war. We must be Muslim or die! The only thing we are left with is to defend our liberty. What we face is similar to the dark ages when the Catholics ruled. It is sad but we have to fight. against such tyranny.

Here we go again. Crank up the "thoughts and prayers" machine.

Leutrelle comments on Feb 15, 2018:

Who are the haters?

Have you ever been skinny dipping?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Ya I have in my young days, and Sheriff showed up because somebody reported us;)

After a bad cold I am back :-) Anyone caught it?

Leutrelle comments on Feb 11, 2018:

Glad your feeling better:)

I have one argument that completely destroys the theory of Christianity, and it is this.
