Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

A message on a pencil will reach those kids. They told us not to eat that minty flavored paste in elementary school. Hell, l took a spoon to school just for that.

The coolest and/or most adventurous thing you ever did?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

The coolest was touring with Willie Nelson followed by playiing on stage behind Willie, Leon Russell, and Johnny Gimble. The most adventurous would be the almost three decades on the road playing music.

Is your reality anyone else's?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

No

Here's how my morning started.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

I have an incredible respect for what you do. I could never handle watching families go through that day after day. To put your beliefs aside out of respect for these people's beliefs at such a terrible time in their life is admirable.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

What are your thoughts on age gaps in a relationship?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

I was with someone who was 18 years younger than me. We had a lot in common as far as music and things we enjoyed doing. Tha problem was we were in very different places in life. I had already been through the things she was going through. All of our friends were closer to my age than hers. I got sick, was in the hospital for a month, got out weighing 110 pounds, and for the first time l could see l looked old. It was good for about 3 years. It can be done, but there are obstacles.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 6, 2018:

Only you can answer that. It sounds like you feel like it was a mistake. It is something you can still do. I grew up in radio and television. Doing voice overs has no restrictions of age or a specific look. Practice on your own. Record it. A little trick my dad taught me, when reading copy look one word ahead of where you are. Sometimes agencies are looking for fresh voices.

I hate being called ma'am yet I call people sir/ma'am all the time.......

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

Since l spend a lot of time on stage, l KNOW I'm being watched.

And now opiates are the opiates of the masses. :)

Can anyone think of a good disclaimer or warning label for the Bible and other religious texts?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

Could be hazardous to your mental health.

Where is your favorite travel destination?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

After three decades on the road l don't get into it as much. It is more about who l travel with.

Boy is everybody quiet over here.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

They must be tired from all the Easter festivities.

Finding it hard too connect

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

It seems to be more of a site for community than for dating. People seem to be here for different reasons.

What is your weirdest irrational fear?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

My fears are perfectly rational to me.:)

People need to pay attention to profiles on the outset.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

Doesn't matter much to me. I am pretty sure l will never meet any of you folks in person. In person conversations is how you get to know someone. I have met a couple of people on line years ago, and after meeting them in person l felt like l was meeting a different person. While l enjoy seeing other people's views on things and sometimes it is educational, l don't feel like it is anymore than that.

What does it take to quiet your mind?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

It is a skill l don't and have never had. Wish l did. Unconsciousness is it, and l don't want to take that much of those kinds of drugs. Although occasionally it is nice to do so.:)

Does it make you angry when someone gives all the credit to god for healing the ailing instead of ...

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

I don't like it when folks give God credit. He should always have to pay cash. How do you even find him if stiffs you. Even Christians can't really find him. They think they know where he is.

You need to love yourself first to be able to create a good relationship. Do you agree?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

I've been loving myself so long I'm starting to take myself for granted.

If you could go back in time to a time before your birth when and where would you go?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 5, 2018:

1 day, same birth place. I don't want to live before central air and heat, microwave ovens, free porn, and stores that sell nothing but donuts.

Sport hunting is as cowardly an endeavor as any thing humans do.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 4, 2018:

I never had much of a reputation to screw up. It would be a short fall for me. Sounds like yours wasn't. Sorry to hear that.

So, are you the vehicle or are you the light?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 4, 2018:

I'm partial to all the begatting in Genesis. They begatted each others brains out.

I have met someone who desires me.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 4, 2018:

Don't over think it. You will just fuck it up.

If you found out the Christian God of the bible was real, would you worship him?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

What movie trope is the worst?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I was born in Syria in a traditional Muslim family.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I am happy for you. I admire your courage.These people in America who spew hatred toward refugees from the middle East make me sick. I would like to see what they would do in your situation. I hope you bought a heavy coat. :)

90% of the American people say that it's okay to have "In God We trust" on U.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I don't care as long as l have some.

Married men make more than Single Men

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

It costs a lot more to be married. You need two cars, bigger house or apartment, and if you have kids the cost of living sky rockets. College for one kid can break you. Have 2 or 3 kids and you had better amass a fortune.

Is there intelligent life out there in the universe?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I hope so. It would give me hope for this planet. Of course they could be just as self-serving, ignorant, and self destructive as we are.

What's a phrase you vehemently despise?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Do you push yourself to do things that scare you?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I have developed a fear of heights over time, and a fear of intimacy recently. I don't care enough about the height thing to try to overcome it. The other kind of worries me, but it is harder to be in a position to overcome. The first l can do on my own if l desire. The second requires a partner.

Do you seek out novel experiences or do you stick to known comforts?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

At my age l can't think of many things l want to do that l haven't. A life in music is always full of uncertainty, so now l really enjoy a certain amount of comfort zone. I wouldn't walk away from new experiences, but it would have to be something intriguing.

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

When l gave up an advertising career in my 20's to play music full time the freedom of lifestyle was an overwhelming and wonderful feeling. The loss of material things was surprisingly easy. Everyone has to find whatever it is that feeds their needs. For me it was freedom of lifestyle, for others it is being a parent, or making money. Whatever it is, find it and go for it.

Does anyone here also enjoy a dark sense of humor?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

My dark humor is my way of dealing with the absurdities of life. Beats the shit out of prayer. The folks that don't like it know where the block button is.

Do you use texting when you're in a fight with your significant other?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Texting has its place in a difference of opinion or an argument. It is easier to remain on topic, and keep it from devolving into 'Fuck You! Well fuck you too! No, fuck you!', and so on. :)

Besides Agnostic.com what other websites do you spend time on?

Do we have a soul?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Playing music for 45 years, l have seen thousands of people dance. Believe me, the vast majority of those people have no soul.

Does anyone else have a problem with the Pledge of Allegiance?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I've never liked that or playing the National Anthem at ball games. It smacks of nationalism, and that can be dangerous.

Does anyone shy away from using a company who promotes religious ideals?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

Can you judge a person by the company they keep?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 3, 2018:

I don't believe that's true at all. I have always known and associated with every thing from bikers to doctors and every thing between. So if you judge me that way you are going to get a pretty confusing impression of who l might be.

What does this saying mean to you? There's a fine line between love and hate.
