Has anyone ever had an encounter with a celebrity?

ThomasLevi comments on Mar 13, 2018:

Depends on what you deem a celebrity, I've met many well known scientist and outspoken atheist activists. People who are on TV or movies don't interest me though some musicians do and quite a few comedians. But pretty much all the people on my list of people who I want to meet are scientists, of ...

American Atheist Convention 2018

Trajan61 comments on Mar 8, 2018:

I enjoy conversing with fellow atheists. There’s just one problem. Most of them are ultra liberal Trump bashing, Obama loving nuts. I used to belong to American Atheist but when they attacked Romney’s Mormonism during the 2012 election but failed to mention Obama’s association with the radical...

Mooolah replies on Mar 23, 2018:

@Trajan61 Going to listen to an idiot like Jeremiah Wright for entertainment is not the same as practicing an aberrant religion such as Momonism. They are wackos.

What is your definition of The Universe?

@norealgod To answer your question.....arrogance.

Why do people hide their feeling/emotion? How do you let emotion out?

twshield comments on Mar 13, 2018:

We still teach our kids that emotions are a bad thing. When a baby or child cries, we attempt to silence them in different ways. We carry this into our adult life thinking that emotions will be viewed negatively by others or as a sign of weakness. I am getting better about this as i get older...

Mooolah replies on Mar 18, 2018:

Perhaps instead of silencing them one might consider finding out what a baby is attempting to communication. Usually crying is an indication of an unmet desire. A clean diaper. A feeling of hunger. The indication of illness.

I have identified a simple truth about myself. I am absolute shite at spotting who fancies me, who's flirting or who's just being nice. So unless the other person can help by making it very very obvious, I'm pretty much scuppered :-)

Mooolah replies on Mar 17, 2018:

You must learn the signals. Does she flip her hair or touch it when speaking with you? Does she look back at you when you walk away? Does she retain eye contact longer than normal. Does she smile & giggle? Just being nice does not include these signals.

Rudy1962 comments on Mar 16, 2018:

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I think it is like "Fight Club". The first rule of dating is that there are no rules.

Mooolah replies on Mar 17, 2018:

I beg to differ. No rules!?! This leaves anarchy & social mayhem especially when those who can not pick up the subtle queues of social interaction in a particular culture. Perception misinterpreted can lead to assault. First date passion can result in many unwanted results. I have very high hurdles for the first date. Thusly I do not date any more & have never gone on an online date. Poor me. ( NOT!)

@batscradle Thank you for what I consider accolades. As I have matured the nonsense of our romantic culture has fallen away with experience.

Mooolah comments on Mar 16, 2018:

Dump both for not being there for you & stop seeking men who won't. Stop loving with your entire heart. That is immature & reckless. You need counceling & bag any long distant relationships. Get a back bone so you stop being so needy.

@Gravija Sorry. I am a harsh person. Life is harsh. Reality is harsh. I was raised to endure the harsh world we live in. I was not protected from it. It always seems to begin in a most optimistic manner & then descends into pain. The Buddists say that life is suffering. I do not mean to add to yours. Please work on toughening your skin so that harsh people like me do not add to it. I wish you every success in this endeavor. Good luck.

I hope you are right about the bird vs cat issue. Birds nesting or frequently ground feeders are most susceptible. Robins, juncos etc. The collar with bright orange tape seems to do the trick along with their bells. I love cats & also the migratory birds.
