How often do you swear?

ashley44 comments on Feb 26, 2018:

I was born and raised in New York City, so swearing comes naturally to me. The comedian Lewis Black is the one who said that in NYC the word "fuck" is like a comma. I'm 73 years old and frankly I don't give a damn if someone doesn't like my swearing!

What are you favourite roadtriping/driving music or albums?

Crimson67 comments on Feb 21, 2018:

I road trip a lot and my musical tastes are all over the map. It has to be something we can sing along with or something upbeat. No slow music, no country music. Sirius radio actually has a "Road Trip" station that I listen to when I get tired of what is on my thumb drive.

Hi, I work for the local council but one group we do is with a housing provider for people with additional support needs, and the other one is run by me to give people some work skills, skills that we take for granted like getting up and arriving on time. It's really easy for me as I love working with wood, something I've only really been doing, thru work, over the past couple of years. I get as much out of it as anyone but then hopefully my enthusiasm rubs off :-)

Men... bald is not a bad thing?

IAMGROOT comments on Feb 19, 2018:

If you're bald man (like I am), just shave it all of and don't pretend. I've never really enjoyed being bald, but I've learned to accept it. I shave my entire head once a week and maintain a trimmed mustache and goatee. It's more difficult for women due to social "norms."

I get the idea of using Mars to iron out a lot of issues around humans in space, colonising an alien world and developing habitats and even terraforming but to colonise as an end unto itself, I'm not so sure. It;s probably how the mass media project it which means it's no where near what the real rationale is lol
