My brother had an old hose in Denver where you could hear some one walking around upstairs when no one was upstairs. I had a friend I worked with in Louisville, Ky who was the head of the art dept at the newspaper. He had two experiences in his house in the bedroom where the previous owners young son had died.One night their daughter called from them and pointed at the bedroom window where they could see the silhouette of a young boy. Bob went outside to see if there was something to cause a shadow and found nothing. Another time she called him to her bedroom and the temperature was considerably colder than the rest of the house. He went to get his wife and when they returned the temperature was normal. He was lost for an explanation. He was not fooling around. He was dead serious. No pun intended.

Probably not. Years ago conservative radio to shows learned if you can keep the stupid pissed off and afraid, even if you have to misslead and even lie, you could hold an audience.

Sticks48 comments on Nov 23, 2020:

It sounds like he would like to ask you out, so he is doing a little fishing, looking to see how you would respond. Asking women out is not easy. Men have to build up a layer of armor over time from rejection since it is generally up to us to do the asking. Sometimes even the most confident of men can feel a little timid if he is REALLY interested in someone. Or I could be completely wrong. :)

Sticks48 comments on Nov 22, 2020:

Nope. People voting Green (Nader) in the Gore v Bush election gave us Bush. If Gore won there is no war in Iraq. There are thousands of more people who would not have died, and many thousand fewer refugees. We wouldn't have spent over 6 trillion dollars and counting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Third party voting usually puts the person in office those third party voters like the least. If you don't like either major party candidate, vote for the one who will get you closer, even if it is just a little bit, to the things you want, otherwise you help put the person in office who takes you farther away from what you want.
