@SiouxcitySue . . . and from my experience human tolerant to a certain extent. From park rangers experience: don't go anywhere near them. Any 2,000 pound thing bearing straight towards you at a high rate of speed SHOULD be feared, be it an elephant, a moose or a Honda Civic.

Is it just me or everyone breaking up or getting divorced?

WonderWartHog99 comments on May 13, 2019:

Divorce is America's version of serial marriages. They don't **stay** divorced, just rotated. Took me decades to get a second one. Her family promises to hunt me down if I don't stay married to her.

@aahouck49 Show up on a Thursday afternoon this summer and tell her yourself. Then tell her we're running off for Seneca's free concert series and invite her to join us. That'd be a good introduction. She's forever coming up with excuses why we shouldn't go for the series *Jazz on Ram Cat Alley.* Stuff like she's too tired, it's too hot, too loud, it might rain, I'll order too many drinks and my favorite: **there's Yankees there!** I'm in love with that last one.

@Spinliesel Cocktail parties aren't much of adventure to me after having a ten foot bull shark coming close enough to pet and circling around me. Petunia is still impressed when whenever I have had to deal with venomous snakes on mountain trails. You want adventure? Accepting a third martini at a party for murderous felons getting out of jail might fit your qualification for adventure. You'd be meeting people and living dangerously but it doesn't qualify for me. Yes, boys and girls, Uncle Warthog has hung out at outlaw biker bar and felt safe but that bull shark . . . . . those things don't just kill 'ya.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 13, 2019:

@IamNobody I was thinking of Roy, Petunia's dad. In his dotage he has difficulty in the simplest of kitchen chores such a brewing a pot of tea and knife handling. A few years ago, I was sharpening all his knives. Now Petunia presents him with our left over food and urges me to make elaborate dishes to share with him. It's scary to think one day I'll be like Roy in the kitchen. Pulling out a nuke-n-eat dinner out of the freezer is a different story.

@Naejidlopalev It's nice to know how highly you value my opinion. Otherwise, you'd explain what was wrong with it. Once I've stated my opinion, you don't try to explain yours. The adult thing is to acknowledge other people's opinions. Respecting other people's opinions are optional. The childish thing is to be so self centered you can't stand other peoples opinions and demean them for having stated their opinion. > I actually stopped posting for awhile because your comments were the last thing I wanted to see. You held my comments in such high regard, you couldn't stand missing them by blocking me. That's so flattering, I'll have to blush. > I think I did a damn good job raising my now adult children. That's **your** self serving opinion. I wouldn't know them from any other thug I happened to meet. Having worked in inner city schools, I've met more than my share of thugs and promising felons. Their parents were proud of their children as well, even if they were wearing court ordered tracking gear. All is forgiven. Go forth and sin some more.

It’s the “God Fearing” that makes you want to date them, right?

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 12, 2019:

Maybe I won't date them. However my principal is there is what they say, there's what they do. They might be having sex with dead dogs and still claiming they're God fearing. It's merely a phrase to claim they have morality even if their income is stealing from the elderly.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 12, 2019:

@UUNJ One reason another person mentioned is the long abandoned and often fake accounts on dating sites. When I tried the dating sites during the last century, I'd send out boil plate introductions to a few hundred women that seemed be in the "not here" group. I got about a two percent per hundred reply rate. It's less time consuming just to say "Hello" to a gal stuck in the check out lane with me. There's plenty of women who write introductions that tell guys they got to be a perfect gentleman that is **already in love with them** before they reply. Sounds like "Hi. I'm crazy and I want you to be my faithful slave before you whip out your wang. No wang pictures, please." Little wonder guys who see that, move on. No reason to date anyone crazier than themselves.

@Marionville Percy is my Petunia alarm. When she's getting out of bed, he lingers at the bedroom door and softly mews while trying to look under the door. It's his way to tell me to start the coffee pot for her. As a rule, she doesn't want him in the bedroom. He sheds and plays with the stuff she left out, sharpening his claws on the wicker laundry hamper. I tell her he's on constant patrol for vermin. Petunia always thinks there are mice around. Percy has killed Mickey the rodent but Petunia is certain Mickey's family still exists although she hasn't seen any of them.

If you get the chance take a straw poll about the reason for the celebration. In my experience, most have no clue.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 11, 2019:

@TheDoubter Absolutely true. It was a battle that was won against overwhelming odds. There were 6,000 well trained French troops vs 2,000 rag tag Mexicans resistance forces. It's not even a Mexican federal holiday. In Los Angles since the 1960's it's been a day to celebrate Mexican heritage, culture, food, etc. Side story: margaritas were invented by a Mexican bartender to make tequila more palatable. Once his daughter say she could drink his cocktail, he named it after her. After she approved, he sold more tequila and had a more profitable business. This ought to produce the "What the fuck" reaction for chugging margaritas in the states. The **serious** reason is the battle attracted US support for the Mexican revolution, smashing the last of European colonization of America. What the French did for us in our revolution, we did for the Mexicans during their revolution. A success story for US foreign policy. Therefore it's celebrated in the US and mostly ignored in Mexico, except in the town where the battle took place. In Mexico, the celebrations are reserved for Mexican Independence Day in September. We largely ignore Mexican Independence Day in the US. Why? Because we're **crazy gringos.** We'un's ought to go to Taco Belle and demand they get a liquor license to sell margaritas. After that we can ignore we're eating cheap food done badly. For more on the history, see: https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/cinco-de-mayo

@TheGreatShadow I like that this site because it is ad free and has a high percentage of coherent replies. It's likely to engage the well read in the discussions. I've yet to see a post that starts out "I 12 years old and hooked on phonexs." There are **adults** on this site who are willing to write short essays without people bitching about having their attention spans smashed. The message exchanges aren't bumper sticker swapping. It doesn't have things like a single bible verse followed by a series ritual religious responses like "praise the lord." I haven't gotten any friend requests from nearly naked women who want me to pay $3.99 a minute for a video chat. I used get that on the Hi5 social network. For $3.99 a minute I want a personal visit from deep throat Lucy who is known for humming rap music and a toe curling experience.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 10, 2019:

@Marionville "How is it by you" is a common greeting as is "How you doing" "what's happening" "que passa" and many more. Standard response, even at death's door, is "fine." Here in Dixie for red necks with guys the standard greeting is "How's it hanging?" Standard response: "Limp and dangling to the left." Like the other cited greetings, the **actual** state is unimportant. One could start a whole another discussion topic on why it always dangles to the left. The responses could help us seperate the bawdy broads from the blushing church ladies.

How do you de-stress?

Justjoni comments on May 9, 2019:

Breathe slow and loud; get into a good book; work up a sweat, usually a fast walk or an uphill hike; smoke a bowl; sip an alcoholic beverage; clean house; silly YouTube videos; sex (only this far down the list because I’m solo) But mostly I avoid things that cause stress to spike, like TV news, ...

@TheDoubter You mean the Gulf of California next to Baja California down Mexico way? It's on my bucket list of places to see. Everybody gets to tell me where to go. Nobody offers me the fare to get there.

@ProudMerrie it happens on coasts elsewhere By definition, only in the UK. I never saw it happen on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It's all sandy beaches. > Or you could just visit Cornwall. Cornwall sounds like it lacks the excitement of Southern Alabama with twice the sophistication.

AncientNight comments on May 9, 2019:

My parents were "city Folk" and never wanted to go camping or fishing, so all of my camping experiences were all without parental guidance. All the camping excursions I went on were, usually, Co-Ed! But, then again, it was the 60's.

I've confused people using the term "co-ed." It's slowly passing out of usage.

@Donna_I I haven't had issues with caterpillars on my tomatoes. Do you have any issues with birds on your tomatoes? I try not to have twitches when I've discovered the bird that won't eat a **whole** tomato and hits a series of tomatoes, a peck out of each one.

I used to think Cinco de Mayo meant five jars of mayonnaise. Now I'm wondering what kind of ship you're on. US military ship? During the prohibition, the grand old tradition of booze cruise was established and continues today on cruise ships. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated mainly by people in the US aren't Mexicans. I would love to know **why** but there you are. In Ireland St. Patrick's day is a minor feast day while in the states, like Cinco de Mayo, it's major deal.

Meetup.com basically said for atheist groups in my small town (Seneca, SC) "you fucked, dude." I used to meet with a group of humanists from Clemson, SC, nine miles away. Largely, they discussed liberal democratic politics instead of religion.

@Nathan222 Adding to the complication is a Southern Baptist spouse. Petunia misses me if I'm gone for long periods of time. She would have to be drug kicking and screaming all the way there and all the way back no matter how civil they were to her.

@Colorado88 The nearest **large** town to me is Greenville, SC. It's over an hour's drive away. It does have atheist groups. Time to get there, attend a meeting, possibly get a meal and get back gets a tad epic after the fifth trip.

Is this true?....if so, I've missed out on a lot.

Dancing comments on May 6, 2019:

I agree with this.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 7, 2019:

@Zoohome Petunia gives me no end of troubles. It's in her genes. Honestly, her ancestors are the Irish called "black." It's a reference to the color of their mood, not the color of their hide. They're ones who married the Spanish and the offspring ran the Spanish out of Ireland. If your Spanish parents and grandparents moved back to Spain to get away from you, there is something special about your black moods. I spent too much time on the Internet when Petunia told me she's Black Irish to find out what she was talking about. Come on up for a visit. She will chase you off with a broom. Afterwards, she'll scream at me for having "internet women." "Internet women? Woo hoo!" -- Homer Simpson.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 7, 2019:

@Donna_I Heirloom tomatoes are juicer and more flavorful than their cardboard cousins in the supermarket, which are genetically engineered for rough harvesting, careless shipping and long shelf life. The better supermarket tomatoes (don't tell Trump) are the hand picked ones from Mexico. They don't have to survive a ten foot drop from a harvesting machine. The Mexicans find farm labor is cheaper than renting the machine. My favorite heirloom tomato was the star of Obama's White House garden: the Cherokee purple tomato. Trump promptly plowed over Obama garden. Trump has the finest chiefs in the world at the White House and gets his meals from McDonald's. The Cherokee purple never *completely* ripens. The top half of the fruit will be green while the bottom half is dark red and ready to eat. If you wait for the top half to turn green, the tomato will rot. I fry the top half for that classic dish from Dixie, fried green tomatoes. The major catch with heirloom tomatoes is they're more likely to die on you than their hybrid cousins, which were genetically engineered against disease. I wind up losing about half of my Cherokee purple before harvest. It's why I see fewer farmers at the local organic farmer's market offering to them for sale. I love to visit that market because they often sell things I've never seen before. They were the ones who introduced me to purple tomatoes. The thing I have to watch out for is the horned green tomato caterpillar. It blends in perfectly with the tomato making it difficult to find before it eats **all** the leaves off the plant. Do you have those? I've never picked enough of them off the plants to justify a fishing trip. The thing I love to harvest is the tiny alpine strawberries. They're twice the size of a blue berry. Unlike their supermarket cousins they're are intense, almost like a concentrated syrup that screams ** I am strawberry. The strawberry you've never known.** I raise those in a raised bed so my back doesn't go out while picking them. The back killing happens while building those raised beds. Those strawberries come back every year and spread all over the yard.

I’m going to naked karaoke at the pool with my sombrero hat and drink margaritas.

WonderWartHog99 replies on May 7, 2019:

@GwenBFree I had to ask because the local Mexican restaurants started asking me if I wanted regular or Texas margaritas. The Texas version is the same as the regular but with orange juice. When it comes to the sneaky Pete drink, I go for the brain numbing hurricane. The next time your buff stud bunny is buying, order one. Never order two because you will want to be able walk out of the joint. It's romantic to split a hurricane with the flaming sugar cube on top. If your stud bunny blows out the sugar cube, you may need Uber to get home. Naked people in a pool sounds good to me. It has been my position that most people naked is proof why clothing is a good idea. Everybody isn't sporting a six pack belly. Additionally throw a naked woman in the pool and breasts float rather than sag. I hope it was a large crowd that avoids corny C&W songs like *Jesus kick me through the goal posts of life.*
