I would not have wanted to be sent away from home at any time unless it was MY CHOICE and being me I would never have chosen it.It seems a rejection of sorts to me. That parents want to be rid of their children for whatever reason.If it is a matter of what society deems proper I'd ignore it and keep my child at home. Got to school every day of course. It would be a private school. But he would come home after school EVERY DAY.What do you think? Does sending kids away from home to live among strangers make sense to you? Any of you ever experience it? less

They do not SETTLE. I settle all the time. If something works "good enough" I'm fine with it. Engineer brains are not.I expect you are or you aren't at birth. I cannot think of any way I can change and become a perfectionist. It just doesn't matter to me to put forth that kind of effort when "good enough" is good enough. What about you? less

What if the giftee would rather have selected the car for himself or herself? And GMC even has a commercial where the husband surprises his wife with TWO new trucks, one for each of them. Unless they're filthy rich, who can or would do this?

Now I love to cook so it was not a tribulation. I remember on the 4th of July they used to have a TWILIGHT ZONE marathon. The day before I prepped whatever I was going to have so on the day when the marathon began I'd be in front TV watching all day. It was something I looked forward to do....a TRADITION I had built all by myself for myself.Do you have a tradition for you? If not you should. If so what is it if you don't mind my asking? less

Sure, in retrospect I can now see that I was way too young and definitely too immature to handle married life. At the time, I thought I knew everything.One of the most glaring and truly positive things that marriage has meant in my life is that had I not settled down, I probably would have been dead from AIDS or some other STD by now. I was drilling anything in a skirt, as the saying goes, a true hit-and-run artist. I couldn’t have kept track with notches on the bedpost, because it would have been reduced to sawdust. Being faithful in marriage was already ingrained in me as a principle, so when I said, “I do” to her, it also meant “I don’t” to all others.~ less

I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW! Hissy fit tantrums usually work for them.So it seems that 40% of Americans subscribe to I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW. Temporarily or permanently? Will they survive their demand for INSTANT gratification NOW? More importantly, WILL WE?

You will get ill and have no one to care for you and you could die.

She would call out the name on the valentine and the recipient would walk up to claim it and go back to his/her seat. The popular kids kept going up repeatedly. I think I might have gotten one. I just remember how I wished there were another way to do it. Actually probably no one paid any attention and didn't care. They were too busy with their own valentines. I wonder why after all these years that is the one thing that stands out still from grammar school days?. Did you ever have something like that you had to go through? less

Good student but I didn't have a lot of friends. The weird thing is I was voted "most sophisticated"! I will never figure that out. Maybe they mistook the shyness for something else. I don't know. I didn't ask.So how about you? Did you love the whole thing and have wonderful memories of your school years?Or not so much?

You don't gild the lily. It is already perfection and you cannot improve on it.He will show up at the proper time and make that declaration. If Republicans are in a majority anywhere they will absoluteky confirm him. On the spot. First day he will burn the Constitution and from then on there will be no rules anywhere in writing or otherwise to stop him from having his way with everyone and everything.He will be older and fatter then too which will be easier on his body.

None of them can backup what they say because they are all LIES.Tucker tells us he invited the crackpot dame to be a guest on his show but required of her to send him PROOF that would substantiate her allegations. Repeatedly. Over and over again. He kept calling and asking and finally the crackpot dame sidney powell asked him to just stop calling her!Which means she got nuthin'.

A refusal to acknowledge the win of the next president. Due to terror of a duck that intimidates them and keeps them in line all the time. Except for a few they are all alike.Silence or supportive of overturning a fair and just election. Without any compunctions at all. Justifying Rationalizing Lying. Millions of them.No conscience. So did they never have one or they did and got beaten out of them with intimidated attacks insults and threats?What a pitiful pathetic bunch of worthless homo saps.

He does have FOUR YEARS to work out the kinks.Whatever the entire population of the US is in 2024, he will have all of them having voted for him and also 100,000 more who will have voted for him. No one will question the math of this. No one dares ever question a duck, especially particular duck. His opponent (should there be one) will get no votes at all. By then he will have developed a plan that doesn't deviate from that.An insurance policy to protect him against the humiliation of being a LOSER TWICE IN A ROW!THY WILL BE DONE.It's a no brainer. A sure thing. A stacked deck. A rigged thing. I bet you can hardly wait to celebrate his awesome outstanding "win". Can ya?And fear not. He will hold daily rallies all 4 years in different cities. To jin up your enthusiasm and make sure you don't think he is over and done or rather overdone. You don't do you? Of course not.His slogan will beME AGAIN. LUCKY YOU! less

My wife seems to think that when I’m watching television or listening to the radio that I keep the volume much too high, which causes her to have to raise her voice in order to be heard over the program. I contend that when she knows I’m trying to hear a program and she starts talking over the dialogue, that’s what causes me to raise the volume. If I were not trying to hear a program, it would be quite a different thing, and we do talk with each other on those occasions.She often seems to have no inkling whatsoever that the precise reason the program is on is that I am following what’s being said.When the situation is reversed and she is the one watching a show, her way of listening and following dialogue differs so greatly than mine in that she doesn’t focus on nor care about each word that’s being said.It sometimes boils down to, “Why is the volume so loud?”“Because I’m trying to hear it.””But I’m talking to you.”... less
