Could you consider someone a real friend, if you've never met them in person?

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

Not that I would deject them, a lot can be seen with the words a person chooses. However, there are semantic cues put off by a person that would inherently on a subconscious level, that would tell you if you wanted to trust that person. Body language to be simpler.

Do you have a dating pattern?

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I like people well read, I find that people that do not take an interest in intellectual behaviors, boring. Not that this is a big deal people that I have been with, with intelligence are much better with sexual behaviors.

The good old days or the present?

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I hear older people say this. I think of the antiques that I have come across. The effort that people put into doing simple tasks like laundry and all the things it would take to a accomplish that goal. From making the lye soap to boiling water on a campfire. Makes me think that with the technology we become lazier. It is simple now something made cheaply in a foreign country we use it for a short time, it wears out quickly. Then we toss it in a trash heap and just buy a new one made with as cheap labor and materials from a foreign country.

What has science done for you lately?

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

50 & Up

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I an just 49 am about 50 lb overweight I was very skinny in my youth. Do to back issues, I can not do the extreme things I had done in the past. I bought an exercise bike on the doctor's suggestions. Just got it a couple of weeks ago have not put it together as of yet. Mostly because of the laundry room is full of building supplies. When I get that project completed, I will try to bike. I have arthritis in my back L5 S1 have been fused I have a polymer cage and 4 titanium screws in my lower back. I would like to lose at least half of this weight. I know from my past I was in shape had tons of energy and the girls were more attracted to me. Trying to get past the initial pain seems to be the hard part. The agony that I feel for days after I try to do some monumental task is my only stifling factor.

Everything I Like about Religion I Learned from an Atheist - TheHumanist.com

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

Not all, many wars have been fought over religious to prove an inane point. The ridiculous thought that people are going to be forced into something they do not believe in. The best example I can think of is the pope forcing Jewish people onto being Catholic, then supporting Hitler and Mussolini in WWII.

Have you ever had a frenemy?

azzow2 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

I have a famenemy Both of my half sisters are so jealous of me they both have taken the high road to taking care of their kids. The third from the youngest is very promiscuous with a different guy almost every week drunk or high on cannabis, I can't remember the last time I had seen her sober. She abandoned 2 of her kids to pursue a brief homosexual encounter. She left her oldest son for my mom to raise. This one did ever thing her infantile brain could come up with to try and get control of my kids. My other sister is a heroin addict and is just ignorant of how to be a human being, she has been in and out of jail. I lost count of how many times. They both are self-destructive and because of the last thing they attempted to do to me, I will never speak to either one of them again.

Why do we simply group emotions as positive or negative?

azzow2 comments on Mar 24, 2018:

I live about 80 miles from the nearest city with a Walmart in it. Also am a single parent with 2 kids to be responsible for. I do not drink and my home is kind of cool for me to hang out in any way.

I have Netflix and Amazon Prime with big TVs to watch. I have a projector that the DVD player can be hooked up to so I could hook it up to watch a movie outside, just need to paint a piece of plywood white and the kids will have their own personal outdoor movie theater. I do like the occasional N/A beer.
