Happy Bithday!

This is actually how it is done.

Silly Iranians. Trix are for kids.

Did it ever freak you out with the thought of an invisible man watching everything you do?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I kinda liked it.

What movie fucked with your head the most?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

A tie between Une Chien Andelou and L'Age D'or.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

LMAO @ it's better than nothing.

Have you used a person's beliefs against them in a debate?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

No because I only debate using real facts and their belief in fairy tales shouldn't affect or effect what I have to say.

Do you think your birth order has impacted your personality?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I was the second of twins and my twin brother hung himself in 2014. So.yes I do. Survior guilt is a very real phenomenon and I always wondered what demons he faced in life simply by being born 15 minutes earlier.

This post has no questions, no meaning and no Rhyme or Reason.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

It's the post about nothing!

What is your highest level of education?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

College drop out here.

Who else does this. I have some left/right confusion at the best of times.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Did it just now unlocking my desk drawer.

Don't try to fool the dog.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Man, if my kids had ever caught on to that trick I'd have been in real trouble.

Gotta have standards

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

No worse than my profile :-)

Over the last couple of days, the main page has been getting a proliferation of meme posts ...

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

It's probably because I got a bit carried away with posting when I started the group. I had no idea I was clogging everyone's feed by posting as much as I did. I am just a car salesman in real life and my instincts, when it comes to social media, are market penetration. I went too far. I will be better.

If you were given the chance, would you like to stay a certain age forever?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I'd like me 19 year old body back, but with my 47 year old brain.

Hello I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I came here for dating but I stayed for the memes.

Groups & Events We’re happy to announce some new features to help build community – member...

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Is there a way to view older posts and photos in a group. On the main page it seems to only go back 50 posts and I don't see how to access stuff from earlier. My group only has 23 members right now but many of them are quite active posters and I'm afraid, as the group gets bigger a lot of the posts will be forced off the page before members can even read them.

Am I weird or what?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

I tend to lean more on the 'what was I trying to say?'

Where is your favorite place to vacation?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Traverse City Michigan.

Do you think this is media manipulation or just plain marketing?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

The media does that. I just was glad to see the two teasers about loafers above the headline. They are my favorite formal wear and now I can wear them at work again. WSJ said so.

Here is a question for people hoping to meet someone on this site.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

I'm really not that picky.

I am curious of anyone here that reads this, what brought you here.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Mostly fear of dying alone.

Someone obviously didn't think this one through.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Is that why the neighbor's dog keeps going for my crotch? He thinks it's a chew toy?

Hey did everyone else know there IS a sarcasm emoji?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Have you ever been skinny dipping?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

When I was young and ...well skinny.

You too?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Lol! Welcome to "Memes R Us Group"@sandyw1952. Looking forward to your memes.

So me or you?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

We all have to go sometime. Might as well get it over with. Plus survivor guilt not a fun way to go through life.

Standards

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

In 47 years of life I've never had a woman come up to me and say that so I can't test your hypothesis. It'd be cool if it happend though!

Doh! I clicked on the wrong thing and it said I was 99% certain there was a God.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

No one reads those profiles anyway.

What do you know that most others don’t?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

All I know is that I know nothing.

Do you believe in NDE (Near Death Experiences)? Ever have one?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 12, 2018:

I did. I was in an ambulence helicopter and I actually looked down and saw myself on the strecher. I don't know if ot was a particlarly vivid hallucination or an NDE but it felt real at the time.

How to Uncouple With Love

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

I've screwed up every relationship I've ever been in, so my advise is to.do everything the opposite of what I did.

I found this around 12 years ago when I played star wars galaxies.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

It's a classic and bears reposting.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

It's called flirting. Take it as a compliment.

Ohoo pinky, you so sexy..

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

Reminds me of my daughter when Miley Cyrus first started recording records. It took all my willpower to stop me from locking her in a basement and sit outside with a shotgun.

Does the idea of having your memory wiped seem terrifying?

Some days no but most days . . . Zap that shit!

Lol. These are not the Legos you're looking for.

Do you think, poor uneducated homeless people deserve protection their human dignity?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

The only reason for government us to protect the most vulnerable.

Do you think other people generally see you, as you see yourself?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

No, I'm much cooler. Then again, I would say that, wouldn't I?

@Dispirited, @RavenCT thank you and welcome.

And so it begins.

Do you have a coping mechanism that works for you?

Does alcohol count?

Are you out there???

Relationship goals #117, can you both fit on your scooter?

Yeah, I admit it, got a little devil in me. hehehe

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

Ok but send it to my Google Maps in case we get seperated.

What are your thoughts on making laws based on offence (people being offended)?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 11, 2018:

I find the idea . . . wait for it . . . offensive.

Just for laughs :)

Is everyone feeling sad about not having a romantic partner on Valentines Day?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

And I just joined.

Legalize it?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Why not? Show me a case of someone getting stoned and beating their wife and children.

Finding you

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

For me it was sex. The church was all "don't," my hormones and this girl I had a crush on since was 8 were all "do it." In the end it was coin flip and I stuck with my decision.

CW - Content warnings. Why is this suddenly such a THING?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Omg! Does no one watch Saturday Night Live anymore? Can no one enjoy an old Ralph Bakshi movie like Fritz the Cat or Coonskin? We used to be a beautifully irreverent society before everyone got so offended by everything. I recently had to CW the blinding of Gloucester from Shakespeare's King Lear when I posted a scene from a local production and I thought to myself, Shakespeare didn't have to CW it in the original production. Yet. Here we are, 600 years later and more prudish than the Elizabethians.

So I co-write a blog with a friend with some different political views than myself.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

It's reality TV that has ruined discourse in this country. "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."" Issac Asimov.

Can a homosexual attraction occur in a person who defines themselves as heterosexual?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

I would never want to be labeled by whom I was attracted to, nor would I want to have myself forced into a group or political movement by my actions in the bedroom or the porn I watch. I am more than my libedo and I pay everyone else the same respect. Be you. No one else can do it.

It won't let you post anything.

Yeah I can't even update the group photo. Seems like there is glitch. If it isn't fixed tomorrow I'll ask @Admin.

Luckily we won't be around to find the answer.

This is exactly the comma that got me the nickname The Comma Nazi at two colleges! [cnn.com]

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

It's about consistency for me. One either uses the comma or doesn't. What bugs me is writers who use it in some sentences and not in others. When I wrote for AP it drove me nuts because the editors would add and subtract them depending on whether or not they considered it crucial to understanding a particular sentence. It would appear and disappear making me look like I had no idea how to write a list, not to mention an article.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Lmao!

Where is the most beautiful place near where you live?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Lake Anna is about as close to scenic as we have here in Northern Virginia. Halfway between Richmond and Washington lies a 13,000 acre inland water reservoir. What's stunning about it is that it exists within an almost unbroken concrete urban landscape of 140 miles. Driving up on it feels like coming up to OZ.

I would like to change to another multiverse, I am fed up with this one! check please!

Welcome @EricTrommeter, Welcome to the first g:18 member.

Looking forward to sharing. I #write , a great deal both #fiction , and #historical , #nonfiction , . I also write #poetry , . I am hoping to find a group of fellow writers to who will take time to read each other's work and enrich eachother's language.

Hi. I'm new here.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Welcome aboard.

Do you think you should love and keep your enemies close?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

In the age if narcissistic abusers, I say no! Block them on your phone and social media. Never talk to them. They are manipulative and live simply to drag you down. They are beyond help and the most you can do is hope they find this out for themselves and try and rebuild your life.

Am I still single because my face is that hideous?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

You are only 29 years old. Give life time. When I was 29 I had no children and never expected to have them. I had never found true love and never expected to find it. Life is a long process.

Although I am an Atheist, I respect others beliefs.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I have nowhere near a big enough ego to say I have all the answers.

Should you be proud of that?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

This whole country was built on murder.

Community

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

This was advertised to me as a dating site on Facebook. I filled out a profile that asked dating site questions. The last thing I ever expected was to be judged for looking for a date on a dating site.

Do you have a tendency to over think things?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I'm overthinking this question right now.

I saw some comments on here about some feeling saddened about Valentine's Day's approach , and their...

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I can't wait until February 15th so I can get half off chocolate!

I just got called a "progtard" on another site.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

Did you point out that you were rubber and they were glue? You need to speak to these people in a language they can understand.

Do you have a nerdy side?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I think both of my sides are nerds. I only listen to Public Radio. My entire DVD collection has subtitles. I collect memes on my cellphone. I wear glasses and a pocket protector at work.

Who is Your Favorite Philosopher?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I'd never even try to choose just one. My favorite philosophical tracts change daily. Some days I'm Kant and others I'm Hegel and some days I just want to watch videos on YouTube while using other apps on my phone without paying a monthly fee. https://youtu.be/0N_RO-jL-90

Some smart people think the moon landing was faked. They argue how did the shuttle get back?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 9, 2018:

I have a friend like that in Australia. Perfectly reasonable when it comes to any and everything else but when it comes to the moon landing he's totally convinced it was faked and there is nothing you can say to contradict him.

Someone didn't think this through.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Lol!

Nudists?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 8, 2018:

I've done it. I lived for about 5 months in an old frat house that was changed into a nudist community house. It was 20 years ago and so I can't remeber ever being self concious or finding it odd. I moved out when winter was coming.

Who in your opinion was the greatest American President and why.

EricTrommater comments on Feb 8, 2018:

FDR reshaped the US into an actual Liberal Drmocracy. He led is through most of World War II. He also pandered to southern racism and was a very flawed man. However, among the 45 people who have held the office I rank his accomplishments highest . . . so far.

Random post: while sitting at my desk this evening listening to NPR and trying not to rot my brain ...

EricTrommater comments on Feb 8, 2018:

I like to name as many Kings and Queens of England as I can in chronological order starting with Edgar the Peaceful. Sadly, the Presidents of the United States and the 50 states were set to music and so I can't do thise brain games without the tune doing all the work for me. Another good one was reciting as much of the preamble to the US Constitution, the articles and the Amendments.

What in life do you not trust?

So cool!

If the customer service industry were catered specifically to you, what would it look like?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 7, 2018:

I'm a car salesman and I get what you mean. The Internet has made us almost useless since most people shop online now and just need me to get the keys for a test drive and do the paperwork. When I first started in the business people went to an average of 14 dealerships before buying. Now the average is 1.4. Pricing is already set up before they walk on the lot. It makes my job easier and it takes the pressure off the customer.

What TV shows or movies have you seen recently?

EricTrommater comments on Feb 7, 2018:

I just saw The Phantom Thread and loved it. Daniel Day Lewis is so good and will be missed after his well deserved retirement

Alan Watts

EricTrommater comments on Feb 7, 2018:

When I was young The Wisdom of Insecurity spoke to me. As I've grown older Watts has been replaced in my Cannon by the many Eastern Philospersons whose work inform his.
