How do you handle religious strangers in public?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 10, 2018:

A thank you. They are just being nice. If someone asks me if l know Jesus l tell them no, because he has been FUCKING DEAD FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS!

I went to church ceremony for the first today other then being in one for a funeral.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 10, 2018:

Was it a good time? ☺

After accepting your views on religion....

Sticks48 comments on Dec 10, 2018:

My stance on religion is because l have the ability to reason and an above average IQ. Going to church was FUCKING BORING!!! After church l felt like having lunch.

Yesssss, Spencer. What do you want now?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 10, 2018:

Look at the love in those eyes. Is that beautiful or what? ☺

Truth

While the foreground is somewhat crappy, this is one of the more magical pictures I have taken.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

I don't see anything wrong with the foreground. The contrast of the foreground makes the mountain look that much more surreal, and gives it depth. Beautiful!

Ha! You had your chance!

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

Most men like a painted lady.

I suppose now that you see my sense of humor, I won’t be getting a date with you guys anytime ...

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

I would think no sense of humor is a better way not to get a date.

Ornaments from our past. ??

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

Not very far in the past for me. I lived with a lady a few years ago who was into antiques and we found enough of those ornaments to decorate her tree. We did that for years.

Do you enjoy a good gossip?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

I hate gossip. I was part of the gossip in Taos after a divorce. The stuff was very negative and aimed at my ex. Every bit of it was wrong. Later the same thing happened to me and a lady l was dating. I find myself living in a small town again. I have not gone out with or slept with anyone in this town, and l have lived here six years. l only get into these peoples lives on a fairly shallow level with the exception of a couple of folks. Gossip can really hurt people and is almost always full of a lot of misinformation.

This is morbidly funny

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

I laughed till l cried...and cried...and cried...and cried...and then l got depressed...THANKS!

Dude from okc sent me a pic of his abs and undewear so I sent him a pic of George licking himself.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

Yes. When l was a kid l could sit and stare at the lights and ornaments for the longest time. I miss that feeling of wonderment.

Question 32: What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 9, 2018:

How cold is COLD to you?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 7, 2018:

It depends on the humidity. Humid and cold is much worse than dry and cold. It is the same with the heat. 100 degrees F in central Texas is miserable. 100 degrees in the desert is not that bad.

Best open mic in Austin?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 7, 2018:

I don't know about Austin, but we run one in Wimberley that is very good. We have a very good four piece band made up of players, two who have only played music for a living all their life and two of us who have done the same for most of our adult life. You get three songs and you can have any or all members of the band back you, or do it solo. We don't showboat, and we try to make you sound as good as we possibly can. Having a band allows people who don't play to get up and sing.
