I still have that crush.Then Yoda in Star WarsBut mostly I get crushes on people's intellect...the way the mind works. The way the brain engages with the environment. How they see things. Point of view. Do you too?

For me it would be the arts. Music, literature, the dance, the fantasies thought up by the creative people among us with which we can escape for awhile to other lands where there is only beauty and peace and comfort and goodness.Having a bad day? Watch It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th street or Wizard of Oz or An American in Paris.Listen to a symphony. Go to a museum. Read a favorite book.Of course it doesn't change your life. But it brings respite however temporary to you. A change of scenery in your mind. A pause that refreshes.What is your list like? less

They DOUBLE DOWN on it. THEY NEVER ADMIT IT. THEY EMBRACE IT DENY IT REFUTE IT LIE ABOUT IT.Anything but tell the truth and admit it...whatever the "it" is.The hallmark of the duck cabal et al...SAVING FACE.What they are too obtuse to realize is that in doubling down and denying they exacerbate the shame. They do not mitigate.Yes. They are that ignorant. less

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?

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?

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.

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.
