I've been online for 12 years.

If I got two messages in a year, then I did something. I used to work on my profile, do new photos. Never got me anywhere. In 2014,I just gave up. All I was doing was getting aggravated. I wasn't doing myself any favors. I put my efforts in my work, and hobbies.

Besides, I couldn't read women at all. I never knew the difference between interest, or just being cordial. I know lots of guys will lie to women. I won't. Being completely up front with them, simply does not work. I'm only here for the forums. I haven't even browsed in the dating section, for a good five years. I've gotten notices in my e-mail inbox, I just delete them.
Why should I look for something that doesn't exist?

No.
Until reality smacks you in the face, with a fat one in flats, starts nagging you about how you don't have billions to spend on her.


That's why god invented garages.

Now MSNBC has been barred from the courthouse because they tried to catch and photograph the jury in the van that was transporting them from the courthouse.
How nice of them to put people who are doing their civic duty in jeopardy. Make sure that the jury should be in fear of their lives IF they find Rittenhouse innocent.

So much for MSNBC's coverage of this trial.

Not quite, he was there to defend his father's business.

I'm betting he had watched the Ferguson riots. Many businesses were lost in the that town -Except- for the ones that had gone out armed, and sat in front of their businesses. The rioters weren't wanting to confront an armed store owner. If I had a store in a mess like that, I'd have done the exact same thing. When your livelihood is at stake, some will defend it, even if it means shooting someone in the process.

These climate organizations lose a lot of credibility with me, when I find out they have ties, and funding from the government. What fool is going to put his paycheck on the chopping block by saying there is no such thing as climate change?

What it boils down to is very basic. The dems want to control everyone. What to say, what to do, what to think. They don't like people who want to control their own destiny. Independent people irk them the worst way. I don't like that, so you shouldn't do it.

That's where I break away from both parties. Wanna live under a bridge? Have at it. Just don't come begging for money from me, I won't give you any. Like being gay? Cool. Just don't hit on me, I'm not. Wanna dress like a girl, and you're a guy? You might look silly to me, but who am I to run your life? Just don't force yourself on women or little kids, that I strongly object to. From another country, and want to live here? Learn the language, enough that I can understand you. Come in legally, and get a job. I have to have one. You believe a certain religion? Fine. Just don't preach it at me, I'm not interested. Wanna run with your own kind? Go ahead, I'm not stopping you. Just don't call me names and claim I'm privileged. I have to go out and bust *** for everything I own, as you should.

What did I like about Trump? He didn't try to force us to do anything. He attempted to clear away the clutter, and hand us a better place to live.

New Jersey is close. Cinerelli is up right now. McAuliffe ran off stage to pout over losing.
Take the hint, progressive dems. Your platform stinks. We don't need you in our lives. We can live without you telling us what to do. Instead of you wanting us "woke", You wake up to the fact we don't support you.

Add in New Jersey, if Jack Ciattarelli beats Phil Murphy,the dems are going to start screaming rape. It would be such fun to see them go completely spastic.

I could never figure that out ether. A friend of mine has a favorite quote-

"I'll let you make your own mistakes."

It fits quite well in dating. Most women never knew I considered being divorced once tossed up caution flags to me. Add a couple times over in divorces, I might back away from them altogether. I went out with one that was shopping for No.6, that was one and done for me.

I never dated all that much anyway. If women want to be that petty, and not give me a chance, then I really don't have too much time for them.

Because they think we pick up on their subtle cues. And when we don't, they get mad.
I've told many women, I don't pick up your cues. If you want something, say so. And I've never met one that ever listened to me.

So there.

According to you. Past experiences tell me a different story.

I found a good many of them tend to talk to a man when he's doing something.
Say something important while your back is turned.

Won't speak up. Assume that you know why they're mad.

And since I'm a man, I'm always wrong.

(The last one irritates the life out of me)

I got curious about a girlfriend of my then wife, about her german accent. She'd been in this country over 20 years, but she hadn't thrown off her accent. I asked her if she thought in german. She did, what she didn't want to do, is loose the german in her. (For family reasons)

I know several latinos living in this country. Their kids, born in this country, have no accent. But their parents do. Most of the time they just drop into spanish when conversing with each other. I suspect, that if they think in their native tongue, they will always carry the accent.

It's just my observation.

No, it isn't. It's years of cutting wood with saws. What really made it bad was cutting metal siding, with a circular saw. I KNOW I put up acres of steel siding and roofing. I've worn out dozens of saws, saw blades by the hundreds.

Where tinnitis drives most people nuts. I've had it so long, I just don't pay any attention to it.

My Mom wasn't very physical with me, but we really did talk a lot. She never, that I recall, ever said she loved me. But I knew it, and that was enough for me.

Once my dad started selling, he was gone most evenings. That was when she started teaching me card games. We sat and planned camping vacations together. I always went shopping with her. I helped her with chores, we cooked dinners, I helped canning.

The physical touching, we never did. It was our way.

1. I ride motorcycles. I'll stop when I'm dead. There isn't a woman alive that could get me to stop.

2. I can't multitask. I won't try. I focus on whatever task I'm doing, be it work, or listening to someone talking. Put me into a big group of people, I'll say almost nothing.

3. I'm not perfect. Don't make me guess at what you are thinking, give me looks like I should read you. Please speak up, years of loud noise has made me hard of hearing.

Oh. Well, you women just answered a pretty basic question I've asked myself for years.
Then, swearing off women was a correct move I made.

Only three ever made a move on me, in my life. I might have been disappointed, had I known that when I was 30.

Huh, I missed most of the grief you all could have hand me. Thank you.

Who went up in that silly thing I could care less about.

How the motor came back to earth was reasonably clever. I think it landed better than the capsule. That came down and hit with a thud.

$25,ooo,ooo per person? They're dog nuts. The failure rate for rockets isn't anything to be proud of. One day, one of those will go boom, and then they will proclaim was a tragedy it was. It's just a new version of russian roulette.

Mine wanted to work, so I let her. Then it became my money ran the house, her money was hers. I paid for her car, insurance, put gas in it, and I couldn't borrow it unless I had to get parts for mine. If hers broke, I had to fix it, and pay for parts.

I'm glad mine circled the drain.

Once. Then she circled back on me 30 years later.

It started to come back, then she pulled an old trick on me that worked when I was young.

It doesn't now that I'm old. I'm not putting up with it no more.
