I'm listening.

Somebody didn't know how to remove the wiper arm....the sponge is to keep the tip of the arm from scratching the windshield.

There's a salve for that dryness problem.

I've heard tell.

That's a one-sided conversation piece.

Been a while since I heard that expression.

Harpies, I remember, was second-worst to fishwives.

Agrant, I think that if you develop a comfort zone of topics you like to frequent, and become a regular face there, then you might be surprised. That's IMO, because it worked for me.

I think that if I am devoted to really knowing a person deeply, and understanding how/why they tick, then I will love them (as a brother or sister or other) but I will not be in love...

No.

This is your last day of work for the week.

To you?
It means..."Oh, crap! There are things I meant to get...and now I have to go shopping!"

Just saying goodnight, folks.
Thursday is here.

I don't know who has the MOST of the missing money, but there if we follow the birds that are snatching up the crumbs from present-day bailouts it leads away from the flock of crows that made off with the food trail during the years of underwriting faulty loans.

Who were the crows following, and where are those crows, now?

They followed the underwriters (UW).
The UW garnered a profit/commission from each substandard (SuS) loan that was processed.

The governing regulators [sic] had created a "guaranteed win" situation, by creating myriad guidelines or regulations or evidences of SuS loan applicability, wherein all the UW needed to do was be the middleman to process the applications. Profits were garnered from processing fees to accommodate the regulations, and is separate from the profit/loss associated with the loan (because the big money would be paid by "bailout" later.) Processing fees were required for sustainability of operations in light of the highly unlikely event of the loans being paid in full.

Where are they now?
I heard that some of them are now involved in shaping the policies and methods that they say will rectify the SuS debacle. Whether they are directly shaping the policies, or not, means little. The same middlemen didn't even change their stripes, but will now be profiteering from processing fees in the next New Deal.

SO....that's where the name "Woodie" came from?

The irish have had time to become good at what they do.

Maybe the test results match people up with who is available, rather than who is best.
Do you suppose that a test result will say, "Hey, you're great, but the first 10 guys with your traits got all the perfect matches! And there are literally thousands more guys, a lot like you, searching for #11!"???

Drink enough and you can do any dance...or at least wobble at it.

Complexity can be the simple exploration of each other's differences and also then exploring wider life together...it can become complex, but at the apex of that journey comes a high plateau, when each person is comforted and confident, and the complexity fades away in the light of simply loving living...and continuance is as new and certain as each day's dawn.

'Tis better to give than to receive.

No.
If I knew why, then I would be a good date.

The motive--to do right (in a self-sacrifice situation)--indicates trustworthiness that is worthy of note.
