They seem nice,.

mr. and I play pool at this tavern that plays the Sirius 80’s station while #2 son is at his speech therapy social group a block away. I love Friday date night.

Using it as a cutting board.

I'll start. Why does grass refuse to grow in certain spots in my lawn, but every known vegetation in the Northern Hemisphere will sprout and grow like hell in the tiniest of my sidewalk and driveway cracks?

My aviation doctor ran meditation clinics for pilots. It helped them with stress and anxiety. Narcotic meds were a no=no for pilots until a few flew planes of people into oceans, rivers and mountains. Now prescribed narcotics are approved. Better a treated depressive pilot than an untreated depressive pilot. Meditation wasn't that successful a treatment. Of course most, keep the mental stuff quiet and self medicate with alcohol, hookers and blow.

I am slowly getting into meditation..I did real well at 15 minutes 5 days a week..til PT exercises took over that time slot. Trying to get back at it..One of our newer residents is a Buddhist monk and there is a couple who are regular meditation practitioners who have opened there apartment to those who want to learn. They are doing a book group/meditation session for an hour on Fridays. I have been participating as I can.

Your wife took the remote with her when she left??

That looks like a nice place for a picnic, Cheese,

Why is David Hasselhoff so popular in Germany...or at all?

Where does @AirwickWithCheese go when he's not here?

It is time for him to return home.

??? ??? ???

Kirby, I imagine you make friends everywhere you go. ?

I’d replace them. I think the bigger worry than simply getting a flat is the likelihood of having a blowout at speed and sustaining nasty injuries.

That dooshbag? She has no taste Cheese. You may have a chance!

We had an all black cat like that show up at the back door a few years ago in the dead of winter. We let him in and called him Vader while we tried to find out where he belonged. We asked at the vet about a mile from the house if anyone had reported a lost cat. The assistant was shocked. She had accidentally let a cat get away while cat sitting. It was black. It's name was Vader. Everyone was ecstatic to find him ok. Sometimes reality is better than fiction.

Just venting. Venting is better than punching her in the face, next time we cross paths.

I managed to get these photos of the cat who maintains the circle of life in my backyard for you @Kirby

It sounds like he would be in a foreign land anywhere.

Can I be Canadian best man? That is like, 34% less than best man.

I would also like to be his best man at his upcoming wedding. I don't believe he is engaged or even dating a woman right now, but how would we know? At any rate, I feel like best man would be a good role for me. At the very least, RO could be the flower girl.

I like Dottie because he tries stuff. Even if he makes a bad choice, he gave something a shot. Also, right or wrong, he ain't taking a bullying, nor should anyone. I know I should hate him for his electric bicycle pimping and his faux veganry, but they are endearing traits because they aren't all or nothing. It is good that black and white thinking gets all kinds of proper shading with Dottie. Plus, he is a total pervert.

I was cajoled into believing that leaving p&r open would help the rest of the site. That did not prove to be true, not even close. Many good people have left the site due to the bickering. There are thousands of successful political sites for you to debate on. This will not be one if them.

I want to talk about everything. Most of us realize that when people talk politics or religion, that people can poke a little and have it be fun. Sure, it can work out wrong sometimes, but the concepts behind things are very cool, Very cool conceptual content can be based on religion or politics, and there are examples. My post on "Jesus Christ Superstar" was fun,, and I felt like I wanted to say a couple of other things to the mythology of it all and how it was approached in the movie. I didn't, mostly because I felt a person or two would go squawking or not, and if not, then maybe somebody might take it into the not fun side. This bummed me out, because there I was altering behavior and we went missing out because of what others simply might do. This is bad. Saying what we want (within reason) in the spirit of fun, or exploration, or debate, or even ignorance can all be good. I have learned things here and in the LF that showed me different takes on things that made me more charitable in viewing other's different ideas, when presented in a certain light. We simply can't go on not thinking for ourselves or being fun because of what a few might think, That is nancy-boy millennial thinking right there.. This is the internet, and at some point, people have to be able to face a world that has different ideas and views, and to grow a bit of thickness to our skins. It is one thing to be respectful, but it is entirely different to pander to the lowest common denominator and become mindless robots (no offense, parodybot). I am being quite serious when I say that if you can't take a little poking or even have your beliefs questioned, perhaps the internet is not for you. Again, I think most people here can take a bit of a poke and dish a poke out as well. Anyway, knee-jerk pulling of whole posts is bad voodoo, especially if it is just one comment that can be or is simply being ignored by others. I like the freedom to post things and see where they go, as long as the posts are obviously fun or insightful or serve as educational in some way.

He has a very human side, for an IT guy.

Do you remember Garth from the old place? He posted mostly in the cycling related forums and seldom on the Love Forum. His whole family rode a crap ton of miles per year. I don’t think they owned a car. He had his own chain treatment using graphite and melted wax that he was known for. Gave him like 10,000 mile chain life. He also used Vaseline for chamois cream and didn’t wash his bike shorts.

I am reclined

I agree with this. Dottie, if you get screwed over and get points for this, I'll go down with you -- not on you.

Still, I’d like to know what to avoid. I’m a debate team coach, and cannot talk about what my students are debating. I’m a journalism teacher and cannot talk about what my students are writing. There’s a chilling effect on the fullness of my personality under the P&R ban.

I hope yours is.

That vision boarding must be like creative visualization

I have no fucking idea.

But every now and then I try really really hard. Remember that the baseline is sailor, so I've made a great deal of progress over the last couple of decades.

I miss Garth. If you rode before the mid 80’s the “chamois” in your shorts was actually chamois. You didn’t want to wash it often as then it was a piece of sand paper on your butt. So it wasn’t just him, very few of us did and Vaseline was the go to chamois cream. Now though I wash my bibs after each ride.

I tend to believe that RG has less moral character than Wilbur, and as such, he would throw a superior bachelor party, featuring much nudity and debauchery. A bachelor party can never have too much nudity and debauchery.

I do try and ignore her. I removed her from all social media. I avoid her locally. She sent me an unsolicited text on FB. She is now blocked.

I like having a pleasant place to share stories with community. You’ve done well here.

Wo46 is big into reading books and just downloaded on on her Kindle. I got all excited and then she informed me that it's not what I think.

We have our own version of green acres. The place I work at was purchased by a rich city businessman who wanted to work with his hands and drive tractors. Unfortunately he's not suited to operate heavy machinery. He destroys customer's trucks while loading, backs the tractors into stuff, and we spend much of our time pulling him and his prized John Deere out of the mud with a chain. He'll often even disk the field wearing a suit. Our code name for him is Oliver, (pronounced Ahhleevaa) whenever he is on a piece of equipment that he may cause harm. As in "Where is Ahhleevaa, and what is he breaking now?" His prized JD.

No, but I do say O'fer! a lot!

You cannot afford the time to a hip repair. Change them both.

Change those tires..what Esther wants..Esther gets

Maybe we could be neighbors and take turns blasting music out our windows so we could get two for one. Or better yet, live in a cul de sac and find a Monk fan and a Billie Holiday fan.

No need for insults, we're talking about favorite bands.

Will my love grow?
