  1. This is having the same commercial play at the beginning and end of a tv commercial break with several different commercials in between. It's becoming common and annoying!
  2. I'm glad that I have central air and heat.
  3. LOL Sadly no peacocks listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_displaying_homosexual_behavior
  4. Parents are teaching their child good eating habits when he is young. I hope it stays with him. It didn't with me. Because my mother was a diabetic she went overboard with me and so when I was on my own I ate things I maybe should not have. But now being a diabetic myself I have no regrets. I'm glad I could enjoy them when I could. I do not not like collard greens. Yuck! And I do not like turnips. Yuck! One meal my mother had collard greens which I mistook for spinach which I like and she had mashed up turnips which I mistook for mashed potatoes. I piled my plate high with both. But soon learned my mistake. My mother was not pleased with my displeasure.
  5. WWJJD? What would Judge Judy do?
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisp_sandwich I saw it on a British show. I've never had one but looks interesting. Here in the US potato chips are usually a side dish with a sandwich. When I made a meat loaf I'd sometimes use potato chips as a filler.
  7. I write my landlord a check. Except for two bills all my regular monthly bills automatically deduct from my checking account or credit card. Those two exceptions I could pay by check but they have an automated calling system that I use instead. One however wants a check number I then tear up the check.
  8. Thanks! Several years ago in my building there was a woman who had one. The landlord even put up a small ramp so she get in and out of the front door.
  9. Thanks but because of the arthritis in both knees I can barely get around my apartment.
  10. I do share alot. Living alone I have no one to talk to. All my friends have moved, died or are worse off than I am. There's an expression "If you don't use it, you'll lose it". I can go days, weeks without talking to another person. Not using my voice when I do talk again often it comes out as a whisper. I have to force myself to increase the volume.
  11. Gays are asked why did they choose to be gay; they didn't. Homosexuality is normal and natural. People are born that way just like some people are born left-handed. Sexuality is neutral; neither good nor bad - it just is. Part of the evolutionary construct. A male homosexual is not just some "chick with a dick". With short life spans and high infant mortality there was a reason for a high percentage of heterosexuals for the human race to continue. But now with the advances in health care evolution may begin producing more homosexuals.
  12. Smart kid! Flowers fade and die. Put that money in the bank for college!
  13. Another thread "Russian Soldiers Kissing" shows this statue. Besides the kiss one gave the other a bouquet of lilacs. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/455989530997557739/
  14. I want to imagine that it's two Belami models.
  15. I hope he didn't have a brother named Caracalla. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caracalla +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sorry Virgil but my favorite Roman poet is Ovid because of his Metamorphoses and Fasti. Most of his other works are too female for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovid ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Virgil himself was gay. And in his Aeneid he has two same-sex lovers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisus_and_Euryalus
  16. So a different tech came out yesterday to install the new box. He was here for several hours. So I went to Dish Anywhere to see if I could now watch the channels there that I get on the tv set. It was no. The tech said it would be several hours for everything to load. I waited. Still a no go. I called Dish and was told it would take 24 hours. But today it wasn't up. I called Dish and was on the phone for several hours with tech support and he had me try a number of different things none of which worked. So he said they would be working on it and to keep trying to access it everyday and if still not working to call back next week.
  17. Spasibo (Thank-you in Russian)
  18. When I think of the name "Geta" I think of the son of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geta_(emperor)
  19. When I was young and worked for a mortuary as an apprentice embalmer I had to be fingerprinted. I guess that they are still on file somewhere. I thought maybe Romani / Gypsy. There are some in Britain.
  20. Here is some naming advice from Quora https://www.quora.com/What-should-I-never-name-my-kids
  21. And thus that means Abba! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Waterloo He was victorious in so many battles. He was a military genius. Yet the only battle many remember is this one which he lost.
  22. 1 - Women look for security to protect and provide for the home. 2 - Yes by the animal examples I gave.
  23. Thanks for the link. I've not read the book nor have seen the video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myra_Breckinridge_(film) The only book that I've read by Gore Vidal is "Julian" about the Roman Emperor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_(novel)
  24. I know it's necessary for the propagation and preservation of the human species. But why so many? It's 90%. I'd think 10% would be sufficient. Doesn't seem natural. Only a male can truly appreciate the beauty of another male. When it comes to appearance males have been graced with the more attractive, enticing looks. Examples: the lion with his mane, the peacock with his feathers and the human male is the culmination of evolutionary perfection!
