If applicable, how did you quit smoking?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 7, 2018:

I had to get to the point where I really wanted to quit. I quit a couple of times before, but after a couple of years I started up again. I quit cold turkey all three times the last one took. It's been 17 yrs.

Will you go out with me?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 7, 2018:

If I lived in Houston I would ask you out. As far as activities go since I haven't spent time In Houston a long time, I would have to follow your lead. I would feel uncomfortable describing 3 wonderful things about me since I am some what biased.

Are you a night owl, a morning person, or both?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 7, 2018:

Night Owl. That was one reason playing music for a living instead of a hobby was appealing. Also the dimmer the light the better I look. In complete darkness I am damn near handsome.

Do you own any exercise equipment or props?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 7, 2018:

Yes. No.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

That is a great pun.

I googled "Billy Graham debates atheist", and nothing came up.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

I'm pretty sure it was always the choir. It is impossible to explain the unexplainable to a doubter or nonbeliever.

Any of you fellas think people lived before agricultural revolution were happier than today’s ...

Sticks48 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

There is nothing in human history that indicates that life for most people isn't a bitch. Less for some more for others. Be thankful if you are in the former.

How do I stop my negative self-talk?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 6, 2018:

Stop letting other people define who you are. Nobody is perfect. I guess Jesus was close and look what it got him. I have read some of your posts and you seem intelligent and more important than that, you seem very nice. If you don't like yourself how do you expect others to like you. Be confident with who you are. No one Is liked or appreciated by everybody.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

Sure. It can be funny as long as it's not you.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

People from out of state come to Austin and think this is what Texas is like. Boy are they fucking wrong!

What word(s) do you never want to apply to you?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

Donutless.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

I would want a gay thug son. That way no one will fuck with him.

How'd "just being yourself" work out for you?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

Why would you want to associate with people who don't accept you for who you are? If you want fuck yourself up keep trying to be someone you are not.

Newt Gingirch is claiming that athiests pose a bigger threat to American than does ISIS.

Do you ever feel alone.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

In some crowds I am glad to feel alone

Ok so I’m new to this site sooooo I hope this doesn’t get me flagged.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

This is NOTHING like Scientology. You pay a shit load of money to climb the ladder in Scientology. This not even much of a dating site, but is interesting and kind of fun.

America was (mostly) founded and populated by religious groups escaping persecution in their home ...

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

I'm glad you pointed that out. Thanks

So, The Shape of Water won.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

All award shows whether it's sports, music, or movies make no sense to me. The voting is so completely subjective. John Wayne best actor, Taylor Swift Grammy winner, give me a break. The MVP in sports, what is it based on? Most valuable to their team or the league? Every team has a player that is most valuable to them. The most valuable to the league is the player who puts asses in the seats or brings eyeballs to the television screen. It isn't about the best player or LeBron James would win every year in the NBA.

Did you grow up with religion?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 5, 2018:

Have you ever been on a strict diet?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

As I have gotten older I have changed my diet. No beef or pork. Smaller meals, eating through a little hard and there through the day. I seldom walk out of a restaurant with out a to-go box. Two meals for the price of one.

Change is the only constant

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Unless you use debit and credit cards.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

My ex. Not a bad person, but scary none the less.

I'll just apologize now, lol

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

And you should.

What's the first thing you look at?

If they are facing me the face. I have to love the face. You will looking into that face more than all the other parts put together no matter how those other parts are put together. From behind the behind.

So we live in 2018 where equality is saught after and acquired for the most part compared to history...

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

It is pretty much that way all over the animal kingdom. We are not so different from the animals after all.

Would You keep dating someone who felt it was necessary to keep you a secret from their kids?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

No problem. Some people's kids are not likeable no matter what mom thinks, and some are just assholes. Most children grow up to be adults you don't like anyway.

Do you date traditionally?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

No. I expect flowers, candy, to be picked up on time , and walked to my door when the date is over.

Do you feel as lonely as I do?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

I guess a lot of it is location. I live in a community evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans according to the town's web page. As a musician I can't afford to piss off half the audience. My brother, our lead guitarist, and I think pretty much the same about politics and religion. Our base player not at all, so we seldom get into discussions about those subjects especially religion. I am OK with it. My closest friends are non-believers. It wasn't something I knew before hand, but it did strengthen our bond. I have moved a lot and always seem to find those folks. I do work in bars where the heathens hang out so that my be part of it. What I'm trying to say is there are more of us than you think. You do have to get out of the house to meet them. Did not mean to get that wordy. Sorry about that.

What's a strange food habit you have?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Direct or Indirect lighting?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Direct lighting is only good when you are looking for something you lost. Milk chocolate is for sissy's. Coffee black, pretty much any kind. And yes I do the bread thing.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Do you think the human animal will go extinct in the sixth mass extinction currently under way?

Who farts first?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Sixteen years ago today, I married my ex.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

If you think you have to fix another person that is on you. If they like who they are, and I don't know that he did, there is nothing to fix. All relationships are not meant to last forever. People and circumstances change. DON'T Beat yourself up. Sorry, you got advice anyway.:)

Relationship Traits for over 50 dating

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Attraction, chemistry, and the biggie, do I really like that person. If your thought is this would be a great relationship if..... You had better figure out if that 'if" is a big 'IF' or a small one, and whether you can live with it. You have to like them for who they are not who you want them to be.

I've always been a very touchy-feely person.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

You nailed it for me

Why did you get married?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Which time?

I've started watching Neil deGrasse Tyson's "Cosmos" on Netflix.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Love Tyson. Smart, funny, and a nonbeliever. Brings more humor to science than Sagan. I also watched and liked Cosmos.

Blessed to share God’s creation.

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

I love the way believers credit God with the beauty in the world but fail to credit him with ugly in the world like cancer, birth defects, baldness, and of course North Dakota.

The result of an idle daydream, where I thought about Hell: if it was real, what would it be like?

All German food. No wonder they went after France in two World wars. They were looking for something good to eat!

When traveling what are your thoughts on visiting religious sites?

Sticks48 comments on Mar 4, 2018:
