Prayer is not unscientific.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 8, 2020:

I have no problem with people praying or having faith. As we all know life can be a bitch, and having something to help one cope is understandable. What I don't want is there beliefs interfering with my life and our laws. KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES!

Be kind to Trump supporters. They have to give up so much: truth, decency, reality, and sanity.

I believe there is other life out there in the universe.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 7, 2020:

I believe there is much more life out there. Whether they have payed us a visit or not, I have no idea. Just because we don't know how to get there doesn't mean they don't know how to get here. At one time Native Americans didn't know there was a there until they were visited by people from there.

After leaving the fold, what did you do to make new friends?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 6, 2020:

I left the fold at 14, so it really wasn't a problem. After that, i never really talked about it with more than a handful of people in my whole life. It just never came up with wives, girlfriends, or friends.

It's been said, "A person is forgotten after two generations.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 5, 2020:

I ask myself that question almost on a daily basis. I have read that during the last ice age the population on the earth dwindled to about 2000 people. Maybe the small gene pool is catching up with us. I have wondered if the same thing happened in the South after the Civil War. A lot of inbreeding in the South after that war.

Anyone use this chatroom?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 4, 2020:

Not really. If there is more than one person it can get confusing. I don't type that fast, so l get behind or l join in the middle of the conversation and am clueless as to what is going on.

any singles mingling today?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 4, 2020:

I just make it up as l go along. I try to pay attention to who the person tells me they are and not get blinded by the excitement of a new relationship. It seems as l have gotten older everyone is more cautious, myself included, and it can take very little to derail it. I am much less optimistic about a relationship ever happening than l was a few years ago. Such is life. I do agree with the statement by "unknown", but l am not sure when you start those conversations.

There are individuals who believe that being spiritual and religious are not the same thing.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 2, 2020:

Of course they can be. Religious has to do with religion. Religions are organizations. One can be spiritual, a word open to many interpretations, and not be a part of a religious organization.

What are three things you should not do?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 2, 2020:

1...Never live in the same country as your in-laws. 2...Never get pulled over by a motorcycle cop in the winter. You will definitely get a ticket, maybe two or three. 3...Never give an answer to the question, "guess how old I am", if that request comes from a woman. Your margin for error is incredibly slim. If you go too low they will think you are just really buttering their bread. If you actually guess their age, they will be disappointed. If you go to high, you ain't never gonna get any of that. Just REFUSE to answer.

Today I put together my first major project all by myself.

Guiding principles to life? That is a pretty broad subject, and could take a lot more time and thought than I would want to try and explain here. I handle depression by being depressed.
