    what did you do this weekend?

    what did you all do this weekend? I saw my oldest son and his wife as they came to town. Don't get to see them often. My youngest son went along with me Saturday night but I had already visited earlier that day and by the time night rolled around I was pretty much talked out. Slept good and saw...

    son moving out in a few months, so now what?

    meetup.com has been good to me. Absent a lady to spend time with or anything else, I would be doing that.

    son moving out in a few months, so now what?

    thanks but no. I've been a tenant and a landlord and being a landlord can be a pain. i'd rather not go that route. plus I only got an attic and nobody can live in my attic.

    Any Hal Lindsey fans out there???

    I should mention that his failure in the late Great Planet Earth was one of the reasons, but I think not the only reason, for atheist Michael Shermer's decision to be a nonbeliever. Shermer should not have based his decisions on Lindsey's eschatology, but that's another topic for another time.

    Movies that sucked 2 hours from your life that you'll never get back

    just thought of another one. Caddyshack 2. Could not sympathize with the main character at all. Watching it the first and only time I felt like my brain was rotting out from the inside.

    son moving out in a few months, so now what?

    The last of the kids is leaving soon which would leave me - unless I get a pet - without any other body in my house since I'm divorced. I was wondering how anybody else who has gone through that felt. Were they overjoyed or sad or what? In a way it's great that I'd have the whole house to...

    Movies that sucked 2 hours from your life that you'll never get back

    How About Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Great for its time period but the acting horrible even though it had Keanu Reeves in it. I saw it in the late 80s I think and for its time I was glad I saw it but now if I was to see it again i'd have to take a hammer along with me and constantly hit...

    Movies that sucked 2 hours from your life that you'll never get back

    I actually liked Cloverfield. But how about the movie "Cloverfield Paradox" available about a year ago on Netflix. I watched that and it felt like my brain was being put through a blender sideways. Horribly made movie with soooo much potential.

    trying to find a date? bah humbug

    thanks all for the replies. I'll consider them. That "80% of men are considered unattractive" was an illuminating reveal.

    trying to find a date? bah humbug

    Hard to find a date. I've had two since my divorce and one relationship out of that. Not many choices out there. Tried Pof.com (plenty of fish) and okcupid.com and found one date out of it that lasted one day and that's it. I could tell she wasn't into me right away. I've sent plenty of...

    I can only add my sadness over your problems. It's hard but you can overcome it. I've been divorced also.

    the bar scene

    Not eagerly considering my youngest son someday leaving the nest and my house being empty, I have considered different things to keep myself from being lonely. One was to visit a bar now and then just to be around people. Luckily I'm not a drinker and never would be and I seem to milk a drink...

    go ahead, kill them all

    I found some recent articles online showing that secularists are willing to jump off the cliff - the more deaths the better. Here's one I found. Prof Argues For Newborn Euthanasia | The Daily Caller Particularly shocking is the comparison of newborns to animals.

    theistic evolution - don't try this at home

    There’s young-earth creationists and there’s die hard evolutionists. Then there’s theistic evolutionists who try to have their cake and eat it too. They think you can believe in two contradictory things at once. I’ve read a bit of TE and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t and that in the...

    do you get to an age where you just give up?

    As I meet people out socially and see other women, I'm wondering if people, at some point, don't really want someone of the opposite sex in their life romantically. Because they've been single so long and have their own ways of doing things that might be threatened by someone else being in their...

    liberalism as a modern religious movement

    Having done an essay on the religious origins of belief in evolution, I suspected that same type of opinion of evolution would also apply generally to liberalism. I tabled that thought for a few years until it recently came back to me because of the general state of America and recent political...

    why liberals just kinda like Islam

    I, like other conservatives, have often wondered why some, but not all, liberals feel apologetic toward Islam. Despite the numerous Muslims that commit atrocities in the name of their beliefs, that Islam beliefs might be evil is never accepted and is always denied. It's just moderate Muslims...
