It’s been 14 months since my son died and the platitudes still piss me off.
jlynn37 comments on Aug 28, 2019:
It is my opinion that when you die you will know nothing as you will be dead. Your son lived with you for a period of time, you built memories together and now those memories are there for you to relive anytime you choose. My daughter died 15 years ago and I think of her often and always with a smile remembering her and the time we had together. In situations like this I am often reminded of the song "The Dance": I could have missed the pain, but I would have had to miss the dance, and the dance is what matters.

When I retired and moved to my lake house in a very rural area, I was looking for ways to occupy my now free time. I attended the local VFW to see what they offered and it was nothing but a room full of cigarette smoke and old drunks.

"I am that I am", "it is what it is", "you do you and I do me" all work for me.
Do you say the pledge of allegiance, when called to do so in a public setting?
jlynn37 comments on Aug 24, 2019:
I stand but do not say the pledge. If I were to say the pledge, I would replace "under god" with "under the Constitution".
I dislike the emphasis on groups.
jlynn37 comments on Aug 24, 2019:
Totally agree.

Has anybody watched "the Family" on Netflix?
jlynn37 comments on Aug 17, 2019:
I have not watched it nor do I intend too. In my personal opinion, as with all programs like this, especially on platforms like Netflix, it is fiction and produced for entertainment purposes only. Again, just my personal opinion.

jlynn37 comments on Aug 10, 2019:

Stop hating something that does not exist. Concentrate on what a special and unique individual your are, have become and will continue to become. Love yourself and those around you. I wish you well in your life's journey and success in finding what you are searching for here and in your life.
Admitting the truth
jlynn37 comments on Aug 4, 2019:
I see no reason to assert any belief or non-belief until a need arises to do so. ETA: When the need arises, simply state the truth of who you are and what you believe or not believe. I personally do not use the word atheist because of the negative connotation that it carries and non-believer, based on lack of evidence, facts and data, is just as true.
I don't know when or where she said this (assuming it's a valid quote) but I love it.

jlynn37 comments on Jul 29, 2019:
I own my home and property, paid cash for a repossessed double wide mobile home for $20,000 including delivery and setup. I would never buy a home that puts me in debt for most of my life and would use primarily to sit in one room to watch TV and sleep in another a few hours at night.

"to bring change most Americans voice for". In my opinion this is very much reflected in how the voting citizenry vote in our present system as most do not bother to vote. I have voted in few national elections that a 3rd or 4th party/candidate was not on the ballot. If change is to happen it will be when the eligible voting public gets to the voting booth every election day. I am not too enthused about that happening here in 'merca.

What does Asylum Mean?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 16, 2019:
'merca is the reason Central Americans are forced to leave their country in the first place. The greatest shame in this "immigration crisis" is the capitalist corporations with the assistance of the 'mercan government and military, removed the legitimate governments of these countries, replaced with puppet governments, took the lands from the native, indigenous peoples to grow bananas and other agriculture products for profit and forced the people into poverty and exploitation by corporations and criminal operatives in an unsustainable life. When they try to immigrate to the country that forced them into this situation, 'merca makes every effort to stop their migration here. Just my opinion the way I see it.

Women's sexual desire can alter our lives. Your thoughts?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 10, 2019:
How women are indoctrinated from birth, strictly as a control means, with the constant bombardment that sex is "nasty", "dirty", "filthy", "slutty", "guttery", "dangerous", "unhealthy" has to lead to many women having such a distorted view of sex and it's necessary and essential place in the human condition is appalling to say the least. A good and proper sex education is essential for both males and females to function properly in any and all societies. The penis and vagina were created by nature and evolved to have a purpose and to be used, both for input activity and output activity.
