Quotes of The Day Quote I
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing. Jean M. Auel
It did this weekend. Sorry for the skimpy ONT. Quote II
The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house. Barbara CorcoranQuote III
Originality consists in thinking for yourself, not in thinking differently from other people.James Fitzjames Stephen
As we approach summer, travel plans take place. If you are into traveling and television This is for you. 10 places to relive your favorite TV shows.
If you spend thousands and thousands on a product, is it yours? Are you free to repair it on your own? According to John Deere, you can't. h/t Hank Curmudgeon
A license agreement John Deere required farmers to sign in October forbids nearly all repair and modification to farming equipment, and prevents farmers from suing for "crop loss, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use of equipment … arising from the performance or non-performance of any aspect of the software." The agreement applies to anyone who turns the key or otherwise uses a John Deere tractor with embedded software. It means that only John Deere dealerships and "authorized" repair shops can work on newer tractors.
Tonight's Science Lesson.
On this day in 1979, history was made.
In a ceremony at the White House, Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin sign a historic peace agreement, ending three decades of hostilities between Egypt and Israel and establishing diplomatic and commercial ties.
Twitter. Aging. Growing old tweets.
How many books do you have left?
The table below breaks down the number of books you'll have time for if you maintain your current reading habits. Twenty-five-year-old women, for example, have 61 years left to live according to the Social Security Life Expectancy Calculator. Assuming they live that long, average readers in that group have 732 more books to read in their lifetimes.....
Tonic. It goes wonderfully with Gin. But does it go well with coffee?
March 26, 1965, The Supremes scored their fourth US No.1 single with 'Stop! In The Name Of Love.' The song was included on the Supremes' sixth album, More Hits by The Supremes, and was nominated for the 1966 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Group Vocal Performance, losing to 'Flowers on the Wall' by the Statler Brothers. The song was also honored by inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's permanent collection of the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. via thisdayinmusic.com
The story of Rachel Dolezal Or Oingo Boingo Harika Shaniqua or whatever she calls herself these days.
In her heart, she’s still a misunderstood black woman. Rachel Dolezal — who convincingly passed as an African-American civil rights activist in Spokane, Washington, until her inarguably Caucasian parents outed her as white in 2015 — is now stepping back into the spotlight in all her bottle-bronzed, afro-hair-extensioned glory.
Navy Seals are tough, physically and mentally. How do they become mentally tough?
Mental toughness is a state of mind. Anyone can develop the mental toughness of a solider without being part of the military. Mental toughness is resilience—the ability to stick to something regardless of the obstacles in your way. It’s about being goal oriented, always trying to improve, and being dependable and consistent. I believe mental toughness is fueled by either a dedication to self or a dedication to a higher cause. Ideally it is both.Masturbation is natural. Sometimes unless you're a Genius Award Winner. School lunches, ugh except for this Feel Good Story of The Day.
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the Road To Nowhere.

you have kids. blood children, right? if you feel for them the way i feel for my farm or my cats, much less my stolen kids i took from people who didnt deserve them... you have enough.
we all face darkness and falter. Hate what we see. i truly believe this is why the gospel takes pains to tell us that before Christs Passion, he prayed in the garden and said "Father take this bitter cup from Me." Even the SON OF GOD faced trevails and felt like he couldnt take it. But He slogged on and drained that bitter cup to the dregs, showing us the way.
I am not christian, but that story means something to me. I have faced serious darkness in my life, true horror, to the point where people ask how i take living with the memories and i can only say "I have no choice, so i just do." But i often come back to that story as a huge Teaching moment for me.
just want you to know i too am an insomniac and i want you to know i think of you often and pray for you.

I've always been a wuss, I'm sure SMFH (where has she been lately) could easily kick my butt.
But the best way to become mentally tough is to take gabapentin (neurontin). You take 900mg of that shit a day, you will be calm, secure. It will tune out all the extraneous shit out of your mind.

they feel that love. i have given a LOT of riding lessons to girls with money and ones without. I have a few times seen spoiled kids want more money for a better horse or more lessons, but i rarely saw a well loved child with enough to eat and poor parents who loved her wish for lots of bullshit crap any more than a rich spoiled kids. usually they are more reasonable. I HAVE BEEN GIVING LESSONS TO UNLOVED AND NEGLECTED RICH KIDS SINCE I WAS EIGHTEEN. Even if parents pretend to love them but dont, the kids know. its very sad when a youngster clings to the friendship of a mean-ass young horsewoman with a potty mouth who "gives lessons like hitler" so desperately because this person is the first person who offered them truth and love.
i am sure your kids wont be those.

OK, I'm burning with shame. I never claimed to be knowledgeable about music.
Nowadays I regularly watch the 70s music channel on FIOS with artist and song info listed and can't believe how much music I attributed to the wrong artists, back in the day, when I just heard songs on the radio and they were identified in blocks before ad breaks, that I often missed.
Keep in mind, Dalton, that I never had MTV, and a lot of us old-school freaks just knew what we liked.

Convention says, with online, you should meet sooner rather than later. But, with the distance...doesn't exactly work.

if you love them they will know.
if you dont, they will know, even if you live with them.
I was raised by my gramma and my coaches, mostly. after a bad illness i was moved from the female coach to a Male one that was a retired DI but who was more prestigious and lived closer to my drs and for the first time moved in with my parents full time. I knew my parents didnt love me. I knew Gramma did. I knew my coaches did. Now i am in my fourties and live down the street from that first coach. My parents live an hour away. Stepdad and i have a great relationship now (father is dead since childhood) mom is still strained.
where you live has nothing to do with it. Genuine interest, showing up and guidance show a child who the parent is. As my grandmother lay in the hospital not recognizing anyone, dying... she kept pointing at me and telling the nurses "Thats my baby." She taught me to cook, to sew to be a good sport and love caring for others. My bedroom at that first coach's house still has my stuffed frog on the bed and my Junior competitor show pictures in her tackroom. She always has time for me. She still still helps me break my freak of nature horses when i need her to. Shes 75. Guess who i feel like are my parents?

I watched another movie last night, "A League Of Their Own." One of the bits in the movie, that takes place in 1943-44, is that the most talented hitter on the team, is a young woman who is... shall we say... not yuge on the 'looker' list. (The actress looked a bit like Drew Barrymore, although she obviously wasn't.)
Anyway, being on the team brings her personality out and I guess makes her a bit more confident, to the point that a guy falls in love with her while she's belting out a classic blues tune onstage at one of the team's R&R sessions at a local dance joint. She's depicted as the very first member of the women's baseball team that gets married, which made the point: coming out of your shell is what it takes to make it.
I got it. In the past I would have bitched a bit, but no so much any more.

I can relate to the distance thing. I'm seeing someone who had to move 50 miles away due to her job. It's not a huge distance compared to some, but knowing she's that much farther away...well, it's something that I have to handle, I suppose.

Enjoy your posts, man. Nothing wrong with silly.
There's a quote from Doctor Who that goes something like, "There's no point in being a grownup if you can't be a little childish sometimes." I've always thought that means it's OK to be silly, but put on the "serious" hat when it's needed.

That road to nowhere reminds me of a runaway truck ramp near Slick Rock, CO. Coming down into the canyon, the road is about a 7-8% grade and fairly windy (twisty-windy, not blowy-windy). There is a runaway truck ramp and from the highway that goes off toward the canyon, and you cannot see anything beyond the end of the truck ramp (no more hillside, just blue sky).
I always wondered if it worked like a ski jump and the canyon floor below had a large pile of formerly runaway trucks at the bottom.

Rules and convention are meant to be broken. I used to be in a breakneck hurry. No longer. Well, for obvious reasons, now.
If there's someone who really, really resonates with you, like uncannily well, and they're at a distance that would require an overnight or more, then you need to decide how strong this resonance is, and whether or not it's worth keeping on a back burner while events play out. Time is precious, but finding the right mate is priceless.
There's a lot to be said for becoming friends first. This CAN happen online. And then there's less chance of bf-gf game playing, I think. That shit is just awful. And unforgiveable if you're a grownup.

I see no reason why establishing what each other's values are ahead of time should take precedence above the "chemistry" that gets us involved with cray-cray and drama and assorted b.s. Yes, chemistry is important, but if the brain is the biggest sex organ, shouldn't you be attracted first to who a person IS more than what they may look like? And yes, it's OK to exchange photos.
But I think we all need to stop giving so much weight to the superficial. Looks fade, and if all goes well you'll become decrepit together. You love the person, not so much their appearance. I've found that the one you love becomes beautiful to YOU, and unless you're shopping for a trophy to impress others, what YOU think is most important.

Lexmark has a similar thing going with their printer cartridges. Simply by opening the package, you agree never to resell or reuse the empty cartridge. You can't sell it to a refiller or refill it yourself. A reseller has taken them to court, and it's now before SCOUTS.

Hi CaliGirl,
what were you saying earlier about pedophilia? I told Jules and she wanted to know more but I couldn't find it. She saw some nasty stuff and is
wondering about the Pizzagate stuff I saw here nd she dismissed earlier.

But I think we all need to stop giving so much
weight to the superficial. Looks fade, and if all goes well you'll
become decrepit together. You love the person, not so much their
appearance. I've found that the one you love becomes beautiful to YOU,
and unless you're shopping for a trophy to impress others, what YOU
think is most important.

He has assured me he will take everything at my pace.
I just know personally, how this will probably go. I mean, they aren't crazy about the online thing as it is. So, if I were to introduce the model guy, a Catholic Rhodes scholar, Harvard (Notre Dame undergrad of course) educated philanthropist, if I told them it was an online thing....they would be hesitant. A guy a decade older? It would be tough.

Plus since I bought it used (about 10 years old) the depreciation hit already was taken by the first owner.
On average I used it 20 days a summer, average that at 5 hours per day so call it 100 hours of use, worked out to $10/hr for the boat. Pretty damn cheap if you ask me.

I'd say, apply anyway, even if you are over 40. Experience and maturity count for something. Are you a veteran? That should be mentioned, too. I suspect it's actually illegal for them to discriminate against over-40 applicants, unless there is a demanding physical requirement.

What I am saying is that a guy who is unwilling to meet your Father isn't serious.
There is a reason that little step is in the process.
Meet him once. Use your judgement. Meet him twice. Let him loosen up and explain himself.
Meet him Three Times, he meets your Dad or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
THAT puts a guy On The Spot. It makes things REAL. If he is "Scared Away", he never meant to commit to you.
AFTER he meets your Dad? His behavior may get him laid.
And not according to your Dad, but with his opinion in-mind. Considering, (of course), your relationship with your Father.

You can do a lot of cruising on the B.C. coast, and never have to enter the open ocean until you hit Queen Charlotte Sound. There a thousands of miles of coastline because of all the deep fjords and offshore islands.

Surprisingly enough, London doesn't get that much fog. We get much more here in SoCal. The "London fog" thing started when Londoners all burned coal in a largely futile effort to keep warm, but now that that's banned, fog is relatively rare in London (presumably because the requisite temperature differentials between land and water don't generally exist).

385 From time to time, I have given some thought to cashing out some retirement money, and buying an old classic motor yacht in the Fall, on the B.C. coast. Thirty, thirty-five footer, fiberglass, not wood. Pay for moorage or dry storage over the winter, and work on fixing up the little things. Come Spring, use it intensively as much as possible, for the entire summer. Pull it from the water next Fall, do any required service, and sell it the following Spring.

It's an interesting idea for a movie. The basic premise is a world where people are required to be paired up. A newly single man is taken to a hotel housing other singles, and has 45 days to find love. If he doesn't then he will be turned into an animal of his choosing. In this case, a lobster.

Back when I lived in Texas and could hear Prager's show, his Happiness Hour every Friday was a huge help to me. I discovered him just after my divorce, when severely depressed. At first, in the state I was in, I thought it was all BS, but I couldn't stop listening. His talks on happiness helped me get through.

Radar, and HF marine radio. There are also some very affordable GPS nav systems for small craft, too.
The idea, which is just at the pipe dream stage right now, is to buy an older, but basically sound boat, which is mostly depreciated. Fix up some small stuff, use the Hell out of it for a boating season, store over winter, and sell next boating season when prices tick up again. Expect to take a loss, but amortize that loss over many, many hours of cruising.

Thathalfrican, I love Prager as well, but I can't listen to his show anymore because among other things, I think he's too nice, frankly. He seems like one of these people who would rather worry about the left than help solve problems. I think his show would be easier to listen to if he were paired with someone like Hugh Hewitt or Michael Medved, who are more what I'd call "happy warriors" and have major concrete ideas on how conservatives can actually WIN some of their battles.
I love that he genuinely seems to have compassion for everyone, but I'm way past that point unfortunately.

Look, the criticism was of the relentless negative focus of those articles and qdpsteve's relentless pushing of them on that thread, and then name-calling the 'ettes who found them alarming. NOT hating on qdpsteve or implying that he isn't a good guy.
There shouldn't be a battle of the sexes. We need each other.
I get it. I've been aware of the grotesque unfairness of the system against men long before this whole Red Pill stuff began. I was discussing it with friends before the fucking Matrix movie with the Red Pill meme even came out. That was like 20 years ago and more.
The point is to not demonize an entire group because of the bad actors (or actresses) in either group. Bitterness is a natural consequence of being raked over the coals by a bad person and an unfair system.
Learn, be cautious, protect yourself, yes. There are psychos of both sexes. Do not withdraw from participation in all of the good that life has to offer. Don't feed bitterness.
That is all I have to say on this matter.

I started at my last job as a temp, then worked at other temp jobs for 180 days so I could return and try to get hired permanently. They hired me after a month. I didn't even fill out an application. They had no idea I'd even gone to college.
I was there for 9 years Problem is, I don't have a classification. It was a specialized thing and my value accrued over the years. Got laid off a few days before I turned 61.
And now I'm thinking, yeah, for jobs that only specify high school/GED, I should have a second non-college resume.

I thought the penalty mandate was eliminated.
Even if it hasn't, you could check the box anyways. I'll admit I did it for '14 even though I didn't have insurance the whole year.
I could of course be wrong, but IMHO the odds of them catching up with that are none and none. It was my little act of rebellion against our tyrannical government at the time.

Nasty mood all day.Disturbed about Trump's comments re. Freedom Caucus and support of Paul Ryan and the bill. Not overly impressed that he thinks we should wait for Obamacare to collapse or explode. There's a whole lot of hurt for a whole lot of people in that wait. Anyway .
Don't want to get all political. Also disturbed because I didn't have time to read the Sunday Book Thread, and can't stand helicopter parents. Also, I can't imagine why a parent thinks their 8 year old needs an iphone 7 and hurries to replace it when the kid loses it. Who would thunk it? An 8 year old kid of today's generation loses a $700 phone and Mommy rushes to replace it. Saw this at work today.

It's more like 750 pages of the sexual adventures of a widowed Long John Silver. It's almost exhausting to read. So many cries of ecstasy.

"justice" is supposed to rhyme with "Texas". The "iss" sound on the end of each word is the rhyme. Yeah, it is weak. And all four words end in an "ess" or "iss" sound, and have a stressed first syllable. There is a weak rhyme between the two words in each line, and a stronger rhyme between corresponding words in the two lines.
I guess if I were an English Major, I'd know the name for that.

There are those who realize this (individual uniqueness
is not unique) is The Truth, and embrace it. We are all reflections of The One True Source - yay!
There are those who realize this is The Truth and the lack of "specialness" drives them mad. "but... but.. I want to be uniquer than anybody."
(Clue: "uniquer" is oxymoronic.)
The pioneer of madness was Lucifer. Couldn't stand the idea that God might be bigger & better than himself.

That's the nature of pride. Nothing can be bigger or greater than the self.
As I've said before at least a dozen times, Leftist thought is nothing more than the sin of pride wearing the stolen clothes of compassion and benevolence.
In the end, the causes they espouse are merely ornaments worn to flatter the almighty self.

To be clear, Heartless, I did not seek this out. I've been asked for feedback. So at this point it's a challenge that I've accepted, as it were.
He's an excellent writer. I've read my share of ladyporn back in the
day, and he handles language very well. None of that "throbbing member"
crap. More explicit without being utterly raunchy. It is written by a
man, from a man's perspective.
Yes, it's arousing. No, I'm not interested in having my goodies being manipulated by a stranger, no matter how adept he may be. And I also realize that this is going to be interpreted as playing hard to get, and he's only going to become more intrigued.
And now I've realized that this is only Book 1 and there are another 250-odd pages in Book 2. Gah.

This is "skimpy"? Not in my book.
Nasty mood all day.Disturbed
about Trump's comments re. Freedom Caucus and support of Paul Ryan and
the bill. Not overly impressed that he thinks we should wait for
Obamacare to collapse or explode. There's a whole lot of hurt for a
whole lot of people in that wait. Anyway .
Don't want to get all
political. Also disturbed because I didn't have time to read the Sunday
Book Thread, and can't stand helicopter parents. Also, I can't imagine
why a parent thinks their 8 year old needs an iphone 7 and hurries to
replace it when the kid loses it. Who would thunk it? An 8 year old kid
of today's generation loses a $700 phone and Mommy rushes to replace it.
Saw this at work today.
Not going to spoil the evening. I will lurk. Thanks for enduring the rant.
Posted by: gracepmc at March 27, 2017 02:35 AM (OU4q6)
I too was disturbed by that. I chalk it up to him taking it as a personal insult that they would vote for that crappy bill just because he ordered them to. Kinda stupid of him to get mad that they were voting the way they told their voters they would and even more stupid that he would ever trust Ryan.

Ask Rachel what's her name . The white chick who passed for black despite what she looked like. Also, there are so many varieties on these applications now. And look at Elizabeth Warren -- she be American Indian. It's doable.Have a friend who got a scholarship to Duke years ago on the basis that he was American Indian. He had just found out. It was a minuscule amount of heritage. Didn't look one bit AI -- tall, geeky, lanky, with reddish hair.

Indeed they do. And I don't know if you have looked at any of the applications ethnic whatever listings lately, but they keep adding to them. Although I have yet to see White Hispanic -- one time only category I think for George Zimmerman, But hey it can be documented, so I could go Hispanic. I speak some Italian and if I slur it -- that's gotta be a speech impediment of some sort which becomes -- TaDa -- a speech impediment, which of course, is a disability -- which you also can list.
