Paging BDSM Bettie.

Robecology comments on May 2, 2019:

So-so looks and figure; but she was years, if not decades ahead of her time for soft porn pics. I don't think I've ever seen one of her with a man, and below is the only one I've ever found of her completely nude; and it might not be her; so she had a very mature relationship with her photographer....kudos to him(her?) as well for showing good taste. Sadly, she got religious, then fanatically religious,then someone got her "committed" to a mental hospital where she died at the ripe age of 85, in 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettie_Page https://s.ecrater.com/stores/327579/556b552a16b99_327579b.jpg

You have to empathize to deal with ghosting. Life situations change "on a dime"...so just deal with it without letting yourself build up angst. Just go with it...assume they've lost interest in you but it wasn't all your fault...and move on. The best- Those courteous enough to be flat out honest and detailed about why they're bowing out...those are the ones you want to keep tabs on... -the rest- Are, to one degree or another, too distracted, too disrespectful, too dishonest to even worry about.

Hey, what do you guys know or what are your thoughts about Tulsi?

Robecology comments on May 1, 2019:

She's a veteran. She's relatively young (born in '81 - so as of today she's 48), fit, attractive, and intelligent. As of 2019, Gabbard supports abortion rights, Medicare for All and same-sex marriage; she opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership. She is critical of interventionism in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. She also denounced U.S. involvement in the Yemeni Civil War and is outspoken against intervention in the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis. Her opposition to removing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power by force and her voting and lobbying against LGBT rights prior to 2005 have attracted controversy. She has since changed her views concerning LGBT rights. An educated voter is paramount in 2020. Learn, and read, as much about candidates as you can. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard

You hit, once again, on the issue that I keep bringing up....the need to raise the bar. And I thank you for elaborating your POV. I concur; we get nowhere by "Belittling and berating"....yet that seems to be coming normal. It's the reason I spend a lot more time here on A.com....FaceBook is going deeper in to the gutter with "belittling and berating"....and it solves nothing....in fact it seems to harden the POV and makes someone more defensive. Being rude creates problems; it doesn't solve them. I recommend you keep this guide on your desktop, as I do. If ever you start an interaction with someone who "stoops" to name-calling, share this pyramid.

Robecology comments on May 1, 2019:

You shared with us a world that very few of us in America are familiar with - and as a male in America, I appreciate you sharing this. It seems that there's still men, world-wide, who share this primitive view of women. We also know that the more "religious" a region is, the more aggressive the males are. I'm glad you got away from it with relatively little harm. I'm sad that other men who supported you, in particular your "Turkish friend" there said "we will take care of this" and the man who allegedly was rough and crude with you disappeared. Perhaps this Turkish man (Alok) was working to gain equality for women - and to gain your trust, as well. I hope he was successful in both counts....I just hope the aggressive man's disappearance didn't involve his loss of life. I'm sure for every hostile, aggressive man you meet, there are many kind, and truly gentle men; even in the foreign land you came from. But thanks to your story we all have a clue that life in many foreign nations is quite alien and foreign to us...so again, thank you for sharing. Let's hope that the people of lands other than America learn from your honest story.

I emailed him/her/them about it....and they said "she had some content flagged and it surpassed a maximum count". So I asked them to "please make a public policy clear so we know our limits"?. We don't want a random judgment. I also asked... What's the "maximum count"? Shouldn't we be warned if we're getting close to a "flagged content maximum"? ....I hope to get an answer soon...and will share, of course. post edit; (Tues 8:15 EST) Admin wrote back; ' yes I posted it in the (community) senate and adjusted the code. Thanks for feedback" In the meantime we all need to be less "offensive" so as to not instigate "getting flagged" and being blocked, or removed. If you (not necessarily you Sassygirl, but A.com members in general) have something to say, let's keep it constructive/positive. Attack the issue, not the person. I get the thrust of the Admin's POV...and I've cut back on my posting on FB because the rude/arrogant/nasty content never seemed to end...in fact, it seems to be increasing there. So let's not let that happen here. Keep your content "un-flag-able" If you know what I mean.... I'll even share something I've been sharing at a few other sites....a good debate guide....

A hit piece in The Guardian saying that cannabis is addicting.

Robecology comments on Apr 29, 2019:

I haven't read it; but I've seen this issue brought up for decades. I've used, off an on, for over 50 years. If we're going to move to legalization, we have to admit; There's users, and there's abusers. There's occasional riders on the Cannaibis rollercoaster....and there's folks that are riding it every waking minute of the day. So to concur with the Guardian; hell yes there's addicts. ...and yes; there's those who have died from it. Let me explain. You don't expect, if they had a heart attack or stroke while stoned out of their gourd, to put down on the death certificate "ultimate trip...died totally stoned....final freakout of his life"? Duh...lots of winking at the funeral...but cause of death? Stroke or heart attack. No cannabis mentioned. But having said that; that's all the more reason for legalization! Regulate the dose. Let users know if it's 3% "proof" or 200%.....and you "heads" know exactly what I'm talking about. ...and if you bought it from the friend of a friend...do you really know the source? Do you really know it's straight cannabis and not cut with all sorts of things? Do you know how much pesticide was used? Herbicide? Of course you don't....unless it's legalized. Yea; grow your own. And that's a good solution. But again...How strong is it? How do I "measure" the strength? Is it Beer pot or rot-gut (or rot-lung) moonshine pot? We don't know. Legalization will fix that. Then it's a tax source. Colorado's already made close to a billion bucks (see article, below). Then it's income for thousands. Then it's less/no jail time for the public flaunters and fools who blow smoke in officer friendly's face. Then it's millions saved avoiding arrest and persecution. Let's admit it. There's plenty of abusers. But the abuse gets less if it's legalized. The panicked over-doser can seek medical help without fear of arrest. It's time. https://www.forbes.com/sites/debraborchardt/2017/04/11/1-billion-in-marijuana-taxes-is-addicting-to-state-governors/#198307712c3b

B & W bird...a Magpie?

Does feeding wild birds prevent them from doing their job of eating insects?

Robecology comments on Apr 29, 2019:

#1. Birds that are seed feeders are rarely, if ever carnivorous. Their beaks give their diet preferences away. I've not seen any bird feeder suppliers supply insects; although you can get meal worms for lizards. #2. We've taken over most of their habitat; and we're growing in population (world wide) by 158 more births, than deaths, per minute! So we kind of owe it to wildlife to feed them. #3. Insectivorous birds are rare; the small flycatchers (obviously) the various woodpeckers, the Martins (that we build the big houses for) the Robins and even starlings are good insect hunters. #4. There's few omnivores that eat both plants and animals....the hummingbird are not just sap and nectar consumers - they eat lots of insects on the wing. The Bluejay is very adaptable; sort of the "Raccoon" of the bird world. The starling has not only proven to be diet-adaptable; but he's an agressive nest robber. Putting a mirror inside of any nest boxes you build will scare off starlings because they are so hostile that if they see another starling (themselves) in the mirror they run...So remember that if you build nest boxes!

Robecology comments on Apr 29, 2019:

If you're serious about finding younger women, you might want to correct your grammar, and not make it so obvious what you want out of the relationship... You wrote "I'm interested to younger women to making the deffrent fun foreplay tesing and SEX in life".... I recommend you say "I'm interested IN younger women who can make a "difference" in my life." Jumping to "foreplay" and "sex" is not only horribly obvious, it's a repellent...as is the poor grammar. Let women reading this know you're a man of means. That you have a good career.

OK...I've searched several guides; I haven't a clue about the metallic blue-yellow-dark brown (upper wing) one on the large leaf. Any hints?

Cinqo De Mayo is coming! Time to try the local Mexican restaurant...or at least experiment with some home-made Tacos!

I had a couple of visitors to my bird feeders this morning. Two cute Ducks!

Robecology comments on Apr 29, 2019:

I think I've I.D.ed the duck; it's probably a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck; https://d1ia71hq4oe7pn.cloudfront.net/photo/59936941-480px.jpg

We're on a road to destruction if we don't make changes.

It's about learning to argue, or debate, or disagree... Fairly. Both in a relationship (the link you posted) and here on our website. When you've stooped to "name calling" or "insinuations"....you've just shown that you either 1. Don't know how to debate fairly 2. Don't think it's worth it. So you have 2 choices. 1. Improve the disagreement style; remove the sneers, the degrading remarks; focus on the issue...or 2. Find a lawyer and proceed to divorce/get blocked/stop using/leave the website. I'll end this with a favorite guide that I check often and leave on my "desktop";

Today, my 96 yr old neighbor died.

That shift in tempo toward the end of the song....was so rare back then...those boys sure did make some great music. I didn't see the slide guitar being played...heard it though. Looked like a lip-synch session.... damned...the boys went through quite an ego trip...a sad but interesting read.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creedence_Clearwater_Revival

Birthstones affecting behavior...that's almost as #stupidstitious as being #Religulous....

What's your favorite thing about being Married/in a Long-term Relationship?

Robecology comments on Apr 28, 2019:

It's a higher level of being. It's very cool if you can be happy with yourself...that in itself is an accomplishment. But to be happy while sharing...learning to give and take...lead and be lead...that's just not as easy. Period. I applaud those who act truly happy being together. The problem arises that it seems that too many couples are just not happy - they plod along, make snide remarks about eachother...tolerate eachother....and don't do anything to fix it....or get out of it. Unfortunately; it seems to be getting more and more rare that you meet or know a truly happy couple. Those couples...and I'm afraid I've met many...are NOT in that higher state of being.

Not really gardening focused.

Good morning! Back to the 36 questions.

Robecology comments on Apr 28, 2019:

Indeed...some of us have "special" friends and relatives who get set off with certain "key words". I'm at odds with the lady-friend for this very reason....if I "press the wrong buttons" she "explodes" with expletives, at a tone level that makes it clear she thinks i'm deaf...or a child who needs scolding.... I don't want to go to mental health "labels" (my brother is just an avid Trump follower...so we just don't talk - let's say both of them are, IMO, a "half-a-bubble" off). But... ...to answer your question... ...of course I have to "rehearse" or "prepare" what I'm going to say.

2 Weeks on "Plenty Of Fish"

Robecology comments on Apr 28, 2019:

@Paul4747; I don't think you've discovered the "advanced search" (for POF). You can specify - -non-religious or "other" or "new-age" -height -distance and many other choices. This way you can avoid the absentees...or the non-responders ("on line now" are listed first). But remember there's a very competitive, if not better "free" dating site.. right here. Agnostic.com has many options - if you're "ready to be out there". The problem with A.com is its newness - and thus it's low membership, and wide dispersal of members. ...but A.com is growing....

What's your opinion on this chandelier, from back in the day? 🤔

I'm leaving this at the top of my alerts so when I return this evening I'lll be reminded...I might join you after 6 EST. Remember; this goes world wide!

Said goodbye to my dad for the last time today.

Robecology comments on Apr 28, 2019:

If you know he's "ready to check out" then you should put a smile on your face, and keep the good times (only) in your mind....that's what he would want you to do.

Is there anything in your life (besides religion) that you have completely changed your opinion ...

Robecology comments on Apr 28, 2019:

I concur about Education going through a lot of changes! I watched....and participated in....the evolution of the public education system. I started in '67...and retired in 2012...so I've seen a lot happen. In general, I've noticed... -class sizes got bigger; I started with groups of 20+...finished with groups approaching 40+ -requirements for hands-on experiences (in science, at least) grew -parent participation went from supportive to antagonistic -administration support went from supportive to antagonistic. -parent communication improved with the advent of personal/cell phones. -equipment and texts got better....then the computer revolution put a crimp in the textbook production....some say for better, some say for worse. -we went from blackboard to whiteboard to video, big screens and laptop screens. -we went from mimeographing (remember the smell? - I do!) to xeroxing. -we went through the textbook projector to the overhead projector to the smartscreen -we went from 16mm film projectors to Small screen TV's to large screen TV's. That's all I can think of for now..but please chime in!

I wanted to make pancakes.

It's happening. I went in to a Walmart in Puerto Rico...and had to carry out my stuff without a bag! They did sell bags there...quite reasonably, actually (typical WM)...but it's happening...I give it a year or two until almost all stores in the US sell plastic bags, and/or canvas and/or paper bags.
