I have had times where I am too tired for sex after a long day working in the yard or other strenuous activity. And yes, I have had partners say they didn't feel up to having sex when I wanted it. They call that LIFE! Judging from your attitude in this thread... I am surprised you don't hear that excuse all the time! Baby making machine? Never heard that one... But I am not surprised you have.

How do you satisfy your creative itch?

I've just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and am seeking therapy to improve my coping skills.

RiverRick comments on Oct 4, 2018:

I started therapy 3 weeks ago to cope with family member loss, divorce and a general lack of motivation on my job because of said loss, etc. I sought out a therapist using an online "healthgrades" type site where you can look at where they were educated as well as a snippet about how they go about treatment. For some reason (I suppose because they are not too far away) there are a lot of therapists in this area that got their degree from Liberty University. She was not one of them and I made sure of that. I had a 33 page intake form I needed to fill out. It took me hours! In it, she asked what role religion played in my life. It is the only area of the form where I used ALL CAPS and they were underlined. Along with a note..." If you EVER ask me to include prayer of worship in my treatment I will never see you again! We can certainly discuss why I am an Atheist, but I only have belief and faith in friends and family... And I will only worship the woman I love!" We haven't gotten to the religious portion of the show yet... lol Find another therapist immediately!!!!

90% of the customers I deal with daily are Muslim. I have learned a lot in the last few years about their religion and culture... and I respect their beliefs. (I have only shared my views with a select few and they seem to respect my beliefs.) They are actually A LOT harder working than most of their "white bread" counterparts from what I have seen. Working during Ramadan and sweating it out daily for a month with nothing to eat or drink during daylight hours would kill most of my other customers!

Are we freethinkers to be as petty as Christians on their websites?

- Global warming - We were making inroads and then the right stepped in to quash everything. So... enjoy that fracking fluid in your drinking water please! - Overpopulation - Unfortunately the stupid people are reproducing faster than the intelligent ones. Watch the first 10 minutes of the movie Idiocracy to see what I mean. Watch the rest of the movie to see how the world ends. - Species extinction - Mother nature has a way of dealing with this. This is where your next two points come in. The world WILL have a bottleneck soon enough. A time when something so violent happens it wipes out ALMOST all life. The Earth will cleanse itself and repair the damage we have done. Yellowstone is not a bottleneck... But it will make life rough for a lot of people. Gimme an asteroid about a mile across... That will do it! - You left out coronal mass ejection. This is likely soon. It will fry the power grid and throw us back into the 1880s for quite a while. This is your zombie apocalypse.. - Hey...

RiverRick comments on Sep 30, 2018:

He was impeached because he lied about getting a blowjob. That was also consensual. He has a number of other allegations. All it takes is for the people he supposedly assaulted to come forward and make a case. A lot did, he denied (as do most) and it is now history. So... Here you go... Your own words... "So, until someone brings charges against Bill Clinton for sexual assault, please shut the fuck up about him." I don't condone what he did. He strikes me more as a charmer who used his power to harass women. To put pressure on them. Allegations of rape were brought forward but the case never went anywhere.

My ex was a Catholic (non-practicing at the time). Strange that she started going again every Sunday since she cheated on me. But that's okay... The priest forgave her. (As did I) But we were okay with how things were.... We would have general discussions from time to time but they never got heated. I just checked the list... Of all the things I have ever been called... Never once have I been called the devil. Lets see... Dickhead, asshole, mother fucker... Nope.. Devil isn't there. Anyone of extremes can be a turn off. I was dating this one girl a little over a year ago. She was beautiful with a perky personality and I was excited about what could be. Then she got sick and refused to go to the doctor... Saying she could cure hersellf with herbs only... Her sickness just got worse. I eventually broke it off. There was another I dated a few times... Then it came out that she could actually control her surroundings! Tornadoes couldn't touch her as she could will them away. The ants could not come in her home as she mentally put up a barrier they could not pass. Yet when she came out here to visit... She was constantly worried about being eaten by a bear! (Black bears don't eat people!) Oh... And she was terrified of spiders. I just stood back waiting for her to blink like Jeannie. Uh... It didn't work.

Do you feel you have a responsibility to the nation?

RiverRick comments on Sep 30, 2018:

My County, state and country are all important to me. The world as a whole is also... But hard to make an impact globally. It starts with voting! If you don't vote, you have no right to bitch about anything. I do not vote for my own self interests... I vote for who I feel the country needs or, as is getting to be the case more and more often... The lesser of two evils. Regardless... You MUST VOTE! I have volunteered at the polls a few times... I always donate to my local Volunteer Fire & Rescue. I recycle just about everything as it turns out. (When I started years ago I was surprised!) I am a good steward of the land and area that I live in. I have A LOT of great hardwood on my 12 acres... But it stays where it is! Your question is an interesting one and has brought back feelings, upon reflection, of childhood, the Pledge of Allegiance and other stuff I am not sure they even do anymore. Heck, they were doing the "Duck and cover" the first few years I was in school as we all grew up with the thought that the USSR was going to bomb us at any moment. It was definitely and US -VS- THEM mentality. I'm looking at the future and I ain't seein' the Jetsons... More like Idiocracy. (Just watch the first 5 minutes to get my point!)

I don't like the word, "Atheist ".

RiverRick comments on Sep 29, 2018:

Funny that you say that as that is kind of what my mom thought. Generally when I whip out that I am Atheist it is to shut some religious person down. I think the word can have a negative connotation even amongst Agnostics (Such as yourself). Some always want to leave a little doubt so they claim Agnostic status. Though I am Atheist I do have a spiritual side. It is hard to live where I live and not have a spiritual side as nature is in full bloom all around me. I was urged by my mom just to let people know (if asked) that I am spiritual... And let it go at that. Sometimes I do that... Depending on the situation. But I always want to tell them that their religion most likely wouldn't even be here if it weren't for a mentally ill Roman emperor. Nero.

This is something that's been bothering me for a couple weeks.

RiverRick comments on Sep 29, 2018:

I cannot imagine handling this any better than you did. But in your reading I saw myself. Not religious... But the smugness. When I hear someone going on about religion I usually hold my tongue. If anyone who knows me is around me when this happens... They usually look at me expecting me to say something. When I hear someone go off about how great God is... I usually feel sorry for them and think them an idiot. My mom used to say, "What can you expect from a pig but a grunt?" That about sums it up for me. I'll sometimes ask religious people if they believe of life on other planets in the universe... It's a big place out there. I'll go over the numbers... Billions of galaxies, billions of stars in those galaxies, etc. Most will agree there must be a lot of other life out there and when I have switched them over to science mode... I ask them if Jesus died for the alien's sins also. No two people react to this the same way and I urge you to try it!

What ever happened to "middle of the road"?

RiverRick comments on Sep 29, 2018:

I agree... Middle of the road. I would think everyone would want to meet there! This is about the only social media I get... I do not care for Facebook as I am more a private person. But a lot of people are getting whipped up into a frenzy by alternative facts or outright lies. So the first thing is... Make sure your news source is free from manure and you have many places to go to get info! I too have many guns and a lot of ammo. I do not hunt but I love target shooting and have a range on my property. Hey, some people collect coins or stamps. I like putting holes in paper from a long way away! I feel part of the problem is everyone seems to want to hyphenate themselves these days. Irish-American, African-American, etc. To me, the only one that should have a special designation is Native Americans as they were here before we were. I don't "support" every group out there. But hey, as long as you aren't hurting anyone else out there... Do what feels good for you. Who should care? There are some people who do not like to think... They like to be told. Those are the idiots to be wary of!

EXCELLENT topic! I'll be reading every answer and already found a few that I liked. I hike but tend to stay on my property or surrounding land. I am not a bar goer and tend to just come home after work. My buddy asks, "How do you intend to meet someone?" Aside from online dating sites which are terrible... My thoughts came to running into someone at the grocery store. I mean literally running into their cart with mine. I haven't resorted to that quite yet... But I DO always check for rings. If they are wearing a ring... I always walk away. I've thought about a card... And now I am thinking about it again! I especially like the suggestion about making a card around a particular hobby. My dad had one... Not for women but he was involved in a lot of clubs (Lions Club, Amateur Radio, Etc.) and wanted one to pass around. His had, across the top; Used Cars - Land - Whiskey - Manure - Fly Swatters - Racing Forms - Bongos The bottom had; Wars fought - Revolutions started - Governments run - Uprisings quelled - Horses doped - Yachts scuttled - Bars tended - Tigers tamed - Bars emptied - Computers verified - organized - Fights thrown - Boards directed - Private parties Just a name... No phone number So... To try to answer your question. Yes, you should absolutely give out your name and number if you get "that feeling!" Yes, it can be tricky... But you should always seize the opportunity! Oh... And carry a cell phone, will ya?

Where Did the Universe Come From?

RiverRick comments on Sep 26, 2018:

It is hard to wrap one's head around. Personally... I believe that the empty void of the universe has always been there as it is nothingness. Our universe might have been brought about by a collision of dimensions. (Not The 5th Dimension, though they were a great band!) They say our universe keeps expanding and they point to Dark Matter they cannot prove. I believe it to be the electromagnetic fields of solar systems, galaxies, clusters and super clusters that are driving everything apart. But that is just me. We actually live in 4 dimensions with the 4th being time itself. The picture of the hyper tesseract sort of explains this. Imagine a 3 dimensional person leaving a visible trail as they walk down the street... That is time, the 4th dimension. Asking us, with 4 dimensions and 5 senses to figure out more, to me, seems like asking a 2 dimensional being to fathom the Empire State Building.

As a child, were you forced to hug/kiss relatives or friends when you didn't want to?

RiverRick comments on Sep 26, 2018:

I grew up hugging and all family members. That has expanded to include close friends. It was natural growing up. I can remember my (now) ex-wife thinking it was a bit creepy for some reason... She barely waved goodbye to her family. Once I knew her family well enough, I gave them a hug for hello and goodbye also. My ex would just stand by the door as I did this. Gradually, she started this and has grown closer to her family over the years. I don't recall ever being prompted to do this... But all my family members do it.

Charity... I went through a heart wrenching divorce several years ago. It still stings when I think about it. 20 years together and my trust and faith in her was shattered by her having an affair. I had some great advice that worked for me from a friend.... How you handle this now will define who you are in the future. (At least to some degree!) Be strong and use this outlet for help. (Or a licensed therapist!) Personally, I'd steer clear of Facebook as in my experience it just brings more trouble and unwanted issues. The one eye opening fact I ran into when trying to start to date again was the sheer number of scams on ALL the dating sites. If you go there... List yourself as ... NOT separated or divorced. There is a whole cadre of badmen (and women) who prey on those with possible self esteem issues. This place was a breath of fresh air for me. Not too many people close to me to date but a place where I can be me and post my thoughts. Keep your chin up! It gets better every day! ;)

It's my birthday! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I scheduled 3 job interviews today.

Happy Birthday! Go knock them all on their ear! Get three offers and take the best one!

What type of area do you live in? Why?

RiverRick comments on Sep 25, 2018:

I live in the woods. Less idiots per square mile! 12 acres next to the river high on a bluff surrounded by thousands of acres in conservation so nobody cane build anywhere near me. No EPA Superfund sites anywhere near or up river, no shale formation for companies to frac, plenty of pure, clean drinking water. I have bear, deer, turkey, fox, geese, ducks... You name it. I am not a hunter but would be if I had to be. I've never minded being alone... But it can get lonely at times. Thankfully the bears love it when I sing Karaoke!

Mother of insects at it again; it's been a while.

I have a company come out to stray to keep the bees and spiders at bay. Otherwise my house get webs spun all over that I have to constantly knock down. (And I have hornets, yellow jackets and wasps!) So I am pretty bug free unless I go out hiking. I heard on the radio yesterday that it is the time of year for the stink bugs to start making their way inside. I don't have much here... But they are think in some other nearby places.

Why I finally decided to block a friend on Facebook.

I'll be so glad to see those "Patriots" lose come November!

Did you check your hands after seeing this post?

Can't stand constantly barking, hyper little dogs

RiverRick comments on Sep 24, 2018:

I can't stand little yappers either. The good thing about living where I live is that the eagles and hawks use them and cats as snacks. I am with you... I'll eventually get a large black lab or maybe a chocolate. They obey and are friendly. Plus they love the water!

Do you really care if another member blocks you?

RiverRick comments on Sep 24, 2018:

It's stupid, but I have to say that it does sometimes. Especially on dating websites. I'm not a stalker and generally am not rude to anyone. But I guess it is a way for people to narrow their view. What bothers me most are heartfelt emails that are deleted without being read.

Latest Trump rant Tally of people around Trump indicted Manafort, 69, pleaded guilty in ...

RiverRick comments on Sep 24, 2018:

He never expected or wanted to become president! He just wanted to make money with the Trump brand. Voter apathy got him into the WH. Hillary wasn't electrifying and in some cases, put off a lot of people. There were a lot of people that voted for Trump as an anti-Hillary vote. There were a lot of democrats that stayed home because there was no way Trump could win. Trump was effective with the redneck demographic with IQs <100. Things will change in November. Wait until the House and Senate are under Democratic control. You think he is crazy now???

Men who never learned to cook

RiverRick comments on Sep 24, 2018:

I LOVE cooking. So much so I built a somewhat professional kitchen in my house when I built it 4 years ago. My parents were both great cooks and my father used to be a huge fan of James Beard. For my family the kitchen and dining room has always been the center of activity for every gathering. I prefer to work alone but built the kitchen for 2-3 people to be able to cook. Of course it also feels good when the people I have over enjoy my cooking!

Are tattoos an issue when meeting someone new?

RiverRick comments on Sep 24, 2018:

For me, it depends... There is classy and trashy. There is quality and crayola. I've seen beautiful women whose looks (I feel) are spoiled by garish while there are others that seem to look hotter with . I've seen guys whose are cool looking and others that look like they just got out of prison. When I was growing up... Seems like the only guys that had were service men and longshoremen. The only women that had them were carnival workers and strippers. These days, when on the beach and more skin is bare, it appears that most people have ... So a lot more acceptable these days. I have one I got years ago at Miami Ink on my right shoulder. The eye of Horus. I'll go back and get an ancient Roman tat one of these days. Since it is forever (or at least for the life of the skin!) picking the right artist is crucial.
