Ok, my wife and I are separated but not divorced yet.

Soon after my divorce and I am living at my friends. Bitterness and anger were my drinking companions. The stereo was in loop, as the morning light came though the window this song awoke/helped me move on. That was 25 years, 3 great loves and a beautiful daughter ago. There is light at the end of this tunnel. You just have to open your eyes enough.

Been there and its tough. You say she has drifted, okay accept it. It is hard I know but you cannot make someone love you. You want to stay friends but you will have to put some distance in between you and her before that can happen. In the mean time embrace the opportunity for change. Work out, buy some new duds, make your place nice, clean your car or try something new, maybe go on a trip somewhere. First the big rule in any relationship is, how can you expect your partner to fancy you if no one else does.
You seem like a nice guy and yes there will be other women out there who will love that. I know its too soon at the moment but call it a work in progress. Alcohol is a good short term emotional anesthetic and good mates to share it with can help but its not a long term solution. Try and make yourself a better man. If nothing else, when you meet your ex, do you want her to see a sad sack still grieving for her or a smart dressed, interesting, fit fellow who has moved on? Which one do you think she would want to talk to?

Empty all the prisons then. For no one is guilty or capable of reform. Ban democracy for no one decides anything. Did Bruce Hood write that guff himself or did it just appear out of nowhere, on the screen with no decisions involved? No I will not abandon god for some other form of scapegoat

Why do people believe in ghosts?
273kelvin comments on Apr 30, 2018:
I dunno about the dead but living people have ghosts. If I work in a house with the occupants out, it is spooky. People give off a vibe that is hard to explain. All I know is I put the radio on to stop it being eerie.

Song what I wrote
Callouses and scars (or an apology of a commitaphobe)
When I look at these old hands
as theyre playing my guitar
Its hard to tell the difference between the callouses and scars
they say that women come from Venus Men they are from mars
Now thats something like the difference
between callouses and scars
Can you get up from the canvas
When youve taken all those all those blows
And though you cannot see it yet
his eyes are nearly halfway closed
You might think that hes running scared
When hes still behind steel bars
And tell me can you tell the difference
between callouses and scars
You ask him what he wants from life
and he just gives you that look
Like your some kind a of hustler
Who he knows hes just been took
But cannot plot course If you dont know where you are
Sometimes it`s hard to tell the difference
between callouses and scars
We all have our scar tissue
and it shouldnt be an issue but theyre real
and Its no good you complaining
cos he`s no use at explaining
how he feels
Now you might think I am taking this analogy too far
But I you are looking closely and I view from afar
You come to him with an open heart
Whilst his is just ajar
Seeing is believing
with callouses and scars
when I look at these old hands
as theyre playing my guitar
Though my mind may be in the gutter
Im still staring at the stars
And even I can`t tell the difference
between the callouses and scars

Malaria! we have been trying to battle this disease for ages. Every time something works the selfish gene kicks in and it becomes like picking up quicksilver. Mosquitoes become DDT resistant. quinine no longer works etc. The only sure way not to get this is the evolutionary way humans have evolved but you have to have cycle cell anemia.

My first thought was to be flippant and ask " why do women have to hold a gun to your head whist making love? " but that would be shallow.
My second thoughts are this is why I do pot and alcohol. It frees the mind from constraints. Most of my creative writing has come from times like this. If not in the moment , then in the moment or the place remembered. I cast my mind back to a table tennis game over 40 years ago. The ball had hit the edge of the table, near the net. Without any form of conscious thought I returned a perfect cross court backhand from bellow the table level. It may not sound too wonderful as I relate it but I was in what athletes call " the zone. " Where there is no thought, only perfect action. A zen experience.
I lived with a lady for 15 years who seemed to have no filter on what she said. especially when in drink. Some form of ozmosis must have occured because I can now enjoy the moment more and though I still second guess myself sometimes. I can just be and dance as if no one is watching. Which is why I included my first thought.

There is as any parent knows a lot to be said for hypocrisy. If you take a NRA logic to its enth, then all nations should be entitled to arm themselves anyway they want. Just as individuals can. However we can all see how that goes and it`s not good. Do we want more nukes or less? Simple question. We have managed not to blow ourselves into oblivion for over 70 years so far. This has been achieved by keeping the club exclusive. It may not be morally right or fair but wtf life is not right or fair and life is what we are concerned in preserving here.

The data is misleading. It is gathered by Superdrug online. For reasons that are obvious sexualy active men are more likely to buy drugs online. This will account for the discrepancies in the % of men and women having sex. 71% - 63% and 75% -59% If this was accurate it would mean that some women are having a lot more partners than men.

273kelvin comments on Apr 27, 2018:
I joined a dating site a few years ago and not long after I get a lady from Glasgow making me a favorite. Now she is very nice. About my age. slim and fit, nice looker, Lithuanian. We chat a bit (not much but a bit) and I have to tell her as I live in Liverpool (about 230 miles away) " thanks but no thanks. Glasgow is a bit far to walk you home hun, So sorry ". But she won't leave my thoughts. All the time I`m thinking " what if.. What if SHE IS THE ONE. Are you prepared to end up in some home with porridge dribbling down your chin and you let this slip away ". It keeps nagging at me, won't leave me alone, invades my thoughts all the time.
Meanwhile I need to buy a tent. I only had a small fessie one and needed a VWE thing for people to sit in at night/rain. Its November, so now is the winter of our discount tents. (sorry) Im on ebay and theres a 6 man tent, brand new, I bid £25. Then to my dismay see that it is " collection only " from Edinburgh Ahhh oh never mind theres 2 weeks left to run Im bound to be outbid. You guessed it.." only bid "
Well that settled it "this is fate" says I. Fill the old Volvo 440 with petrol and point it north.
We arrange to meet outside a catholic church. Took some finding after a 230 mile drive so Im a bit late and shes there, dressed all in black looking like a middle aged Morticia Addams. 10 yrs older than her profile. Takes one look at my old banger of a motor (got a better one now) and I can see she is NOT impressed. Anyway we go for a drink in town talk a bit and I ask about the church? " I am not a catholic. I am a vitch. (I did say she was Lithuanian) I only go there to steal their pow-ver. "
" Oh that`s interesting " I say and about that time I realized that she had a prosthetic finger, made of silver (great looking nail on it though. Well if you`ve got a false finger you might as well have a great looking long nail). We do not hit it off. She makes her excuses and I walk her to her bus stop. I end up in a B n B having a great night out in Glasgow. Do a round trip to pick up said tent and chalk it up to experience.
The thing is (and it don't come easy to me this, as Im a " What you see is what you get " type of guy where religion etc. is concerned) What if she put a spell on me? It kinda makes sense. The thoughts, my error on ebay, it not being outbid etc. They could all be a " bring him to me spell ". Which so I`m told is one of the common ones.
Anyway I still have the tent, lived to tell the tale and yes I have traveled for meets since that have been fantastic. The only regret is I never got to hear about her finger.

Religion does not play any significant part of my life. However I live in a largely secular society (UK). So many of this site come from the bible belt and or theist families. They need someone to discuss this with. Also how can you keep religion out of your govt unless you band together. If this is not your cup of tea fair enough. There is music, movies, pets, politics jokes and all kinds of groups to talk in, welcome

I saw it when it premiered in London (within a week or so). Anyway at the start you heard the disembodied voice of John Cleese over the cinema PA. " Ladies and gentlemen, The management of of the Plaza Leicester Square would like to apologize for the state of the theater this evening. This is entirely due to the person sitting next to you.... Have you seen the amount of crap you people leave. God knows what your fucking homes are like. I shudder to think what kind of shithole you live in, considering how you leave this place when you finally fuck off minus all your sweet packets and popcorn buckets....." and then we got Venice and more gondolas.

Is science & religion compatible?
273kelvin comments on Apr 26, 2018:
Many great scientists have been religious but it can interfere with their work. Darwin studied for the clergy. Einstein rejected quantum theory "I refuse to believe that god plays dice with the universe". My own namesake lord Kelvin was a bit of a religious nutter. Though this is priceless, how many colours are there in the spectrum of light? Seven you answer as you go though "Richard of York gained battles in vain" Wrong, take a look again (dig out your dark side of the moon album). There really are six but Newton thought 6 was the devil's number so he split purple into indigo and violet to make it 7.

So many it is difficult to pick just one but here is South Africa by Roy Harper. Written at the time of aparthite its odd because it doubles up as a love song.
Once I was anothers lover
Now I am my own
Trying to call myself a brother
Living here alone
Maybe if you came to see me
Wishing I wasn't so blind
Sitting here thinking to be free
Maybe we'd all change our mind
She is kind and beautiful
I am young and strong
We have never met each other
But it can't be long
Oft' I have slept by her window
Often I whisper her name
And wonder that words in the wind blow
Happy that hers are the same (english)

Knotty one this. Maybe that`s why we have democracies. In the US you can have guns but not gambling (broadly speaking). You deal with the fallout from gun violence and accidental shootings which cannot be good for society but its your choice. In the UK we don`t do guns but do have gambling. Sure it means that even as kids we can gather as a family and bet on the grand national or the derby but inside those betting offices are fixed odds machines. These will allow you to gamble up to £1,000 per minute on the high st. They have been described as crack for gambling addicts. We deal with the social consequences of this. Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice.

How can I overcome my introvert?
273kelvin comments on Apr 25, 2018:
I used to have same problem. I was shy and introverted. Now people find me the life and soul of the party. How did I do this? Well 1st I realized that I had a problem that had to be dealt with. I was definitely not happy with the status quo. Then I thought about the most extroverted guy that I knew. This chap was outrageous and would often piss people off but he did not care. So when I felt shy or backward I would say to myself "what would x do here?" Then I would tone it down by half (I didn't want to cause trouble) and act like him. After a while it became natural and part of who I am.

Say to them this; " What do you want me to do, believe? You cannot force yourself or anyone else to believe in anything. Lie, pretend to believe? That would be an insult to me, you and your god (tho shalt not bear false witness). You have your faith, it is yours not mine. Much as I respect your choices and the code you live by. I cannot make that leap of faith. I am stony ground. Do not cast pearls before swine. The fact that I am here is proof of the love I have for my family. Now prove your love and let us agree to disagree. You may silently pray for me if you wish and if your god is real he may intervene as he did with Saul. Until such time arises, please leave me be on this matter as I will do for you. "
As for your mum, ask her if she loves you and wants you to be happy? She will answer yes of course. "Then let me make my own decisions. I am not the 1st person to leave a marriage and I will not be the last. Two presidents and the future king of England are divorced. Was Reagan a bad man? Should Tina Turner have stayed with Ike? You did not raise a fool. Please don`t treat me like one"

273kelvin comments on Apr 24, 2018:
My ex was fond of a frozen fish called tilapia. She would attack these things with a sharp knife even when she had had a drink or 3. The way she cut into them looked like an accident just waiting to happen, knife going towards hand. It took a while but I learnt to just leave her to it. If and when we had to go to A&E I would say " I told you so " but it never happened. I do not think of this as sexist as I have cautioned guys as well when they were doing dumb things.

Atheist perspective: I do not claim my atheist views are based on evidence – Lauren Ell Talk
273kelvin comments on Apr 23, 2018:
There once was thought to be a substance called the ether or aether. This was considered necessary to transmit things like gravity and electromagnetic waves. As special relativity came along this mythic substance was found to be redundant. Evidence no longer supported its existence and it was dropped from the scientific mainstream.
It is difficult to prove a negative but not impossible. All empirical proofs of gods existence fall down. All religious dogma is racial, geographic and faith based. Just as the ether no longer exists there is no proof or need for god. The universe can work without it.
I use the ether as not just a non-substance but to say yes science sometimes gets it wrong. Even great guys like Newton. Wegener did suffer ridicule and prejudice but he was not burnt at the steak, no fatwas were issued. Eventually science wised up, ok it took while but it did and no holy wars were needed.

Non-belief is not a belief. A belief is something that is at best a guess. For example you can believe that O J killed his wife or you can believe that he didn`t. If you have no opinion whatsoever on the matter and express no belief, then that cannot be described as such. A belief in god is faith based. All empirical proofs fall down. Just as someone who will not walk under a ladder can be described as superstitious. Someone who does cannot be be said to have any belief in this. Would you describe someone who walks on the cracks in the pavement as having a " belief ? "

Bob Dylan. Discuss
273kelvin comments on Apr 22, 2018:
I have a problem with Dylan being called a poet. Not because he is not great but he is a songwriter not a poet. To call him the latter is to denigrate the wonderful art of songwriting by somehow elivating him to poetry. Just as elieteist snobs will say that film is higher than TV and theater is higher than film. Secondly, they are two very distinct genres. Although many artists write both, a song is more than a poem with music. Many poets have had unsuccsessful bashs at songwriting. Ogden Nash and Dorithy Parker spring to mind, can anyone remember any of their songs?
I think Woody Allen said it all in Annie Hall where the hippie chic he is dating recites " just like a woman " as poetry.

I think Woody Allen said it all in Annie Hall where the hippie chic he is dating recites " just like a woman " as poetry.
What are some of the things you've mastered that were worth it, but that took real time and effort ...

The guitar. I paid for my own lessons with a satuday job at 14. Although after nearly 4 decades I cannot say I am a master of the instument. It has fed me on occasion, provided me with good friends and the odd romance. Now I write my own songs.

Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure

I watched this documentary about Robert Plant. He was flying over the sahara on the way to a festival. Suddenly as they get near, miles of sand gave way to a green oasis. He explained that was only there because Ali Farka Toure had built it from the money he got from that album.

It is compulsory in the UK. I used to think this was wrong but so much of our society and history is based on this that some rudimentary knowledge is essential

Capitalism or Separation of Church and State
273kelvin comments on Apr 20, 2018:
In the UK we have the church embeded in our state. Often it is bishops who rail against austerity policies.
From what I see it is the nature of your democracy that is at the route of you problem. You allow unlimited campaign funding. So surprise surprise big money buys votes. Plus your mid term elections mean that no matter who is in the west wing they have to think about campaigning most of their 4 year term

There is a vein in you leg called the " normal. " It is so named because it is never where its supposed to be. If you look at a medical text book then your normal vein will be 1/2 " up/down left/right of the diagram.

I`m not Jewish but my daughter is. She had her bat mitzvah 8 years ago. By that time she already had told me she didn't believe in god. I said that if she wanted to call it off I would back her 100%. However the party and all the presents outweighed any ethical considerations

If—
BY RUDYARD KIPLING
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

My friend lived on a boat in N. Wales for time. I went out on it once or twice. One time we were heading towards Bangor on the lee side of the great Orme. The entrance to the channel is rocky and full of currents. So there is a lighthouse there which had a bell. This rang intermittently, (I think it was triggered by wave power) the deep sound of this warning bell spoke directly into you soul and it said " REMEMBER..... THAT.... YOU.... ARE.... MORTAL "

Do you believe in Karma?
273kelvin comments on Apr 19, 2018:
.Karma is an odd one. Okay lets look at your experience. You were arguing then said a mean thing, soon after you broke your thumb. Freud said there are no accidents. Your mind was definitely not 100% on what you were doing ergo...
Karma or what goes around comes around is a good concept. It is not 100% true but we feel that it should be. If you are a kind and considerate person then people will be nice to you (well most). If you are a dishonest and mean person then people will treat you accordingly. Just like a belief in Santa will get a kid to behave (maybe). The use of Karma can bring about a better way of behaving in adults. Even if it is not true, it is worth living by.

A guy goes on holiday to Spain and when he gets back he finds that his flat has been burgled. They have taken absolutely everything, furniture, pictures, light fittings, carpets etc, and replaced them with exact replicas. So he says to his flatmate " who has done all this? " and his flatmate says "Who the fuck are you?"

At sales course we told jokes all the time but this one won the prize.
A paraplegic girl goes to the beach and starts sunbathing. as she is laying there she spots the lifeguard walking past. She could not not stop staring at his muscles, tanned body and what was in his tight trunks. So she says to him as he walks past " Excuse me. I know this is a little forward but I can`t stop looking at you and as you may have noticed I`m wheelchair bound. Ehm how can I put this .... I have never been fucked " The lifeguard looks at her and replies " Well today you will be fucked " She smiles in anticipation till he adds " The tides coming in "
