Well, that escalated quickly!

I've been hearing a lot about "tribal politics" lately in the news.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 23, 2018:

No. It's more about the "liberal tribe" versus the "conservative tribe." Or Democrats vs. Republicans. When whatever group you belong to is right no matter what, and whatever group they belong to is wrong, no matter what.

Alzheimer's is a very sad disease. I believe my grandfather had it, though then (early 80s) they called it "hardening of the arteries". Maybe it was,but looking back it seems like Alzheimer's. He eventually forgot everything before he died. Anyway, good story, good quotes, and good picture. Where was it taken?

I know the feeling. Excellent poem.

Damn! I had this one ready to post, but you beat me to it!

We are all we got.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 16, 2018:

Yep.

Just a note about racy poetry.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 16, 2018:

I've pretty consistently steered away from it in my writing. I don't really know why. Maybe it feels like telling secrets.

'Sweet Sorrow' Note: This would probably work better in prose but I decided to try to do poetry.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 16, 2018:

That works fine as a poem. As Dede said, more of a prose poem. I like it.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

There are people here of just about every mind, so you should be able to find some. Lots to look at and laugh at, lots of conversations to get into, and lots of groups you can join. Welcome.

Why is Hilary Clinton hated on?

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

Because the right wing has been tearing her down since her husband was president. Anything to belittle a woman who might get power. The constant propaganda against her has had the effect they wanted, which is for Republicans to get power. They did the same thing for 8 years against Obama, but because he was so new to the scene when he was elected, they didn't have all the past insinuations that had built up against her.

Having a lot of feelings right now.

Here's hoping you can move on. I know what you're going through.

Trumpism and a part of the mewho movement.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

Unbelievable and disgusting!

Even though Fall weather has not quite reached us yet in Florida, Fall is my favorite time of year.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

I love fall. After living in California for nine years, I really missed the change of seasons. Then we moved to Oregon, and when fall came, I couldn't get enough. Now I'm back here where I get an autumn every year.

'The Soul Of Poetry' This is going to stir the pot a little.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

Sometimes the initial impulse for writing a poem is that it's for me, but if it doesn't reach out and try to connect with others, then like you said, "why post it at all?" Yes, poetry can be therapy, but even therapy should involve more than one person.

All too often anymore...(sigh)...

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 14, 2018:

Yep. Unfortunately.

This site has become my diary lol.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 12, 2018:

Just be yourself, and if you can't find the "right person" then find someone who's acceptable and will listen and talk to you. I was very lonely after my divorce, but gradually found other people I could talk to. It took a while, but it helped. They are not that one right person, but they listen and they care. I hope things get better for you.

Why on earth has no one (to my knowledge) yet invented the term "sprankle"? It's so simple.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 12, 2018:

That's what it does when it's lightly raining in West Virginia. It "sprankles".

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 11, 2018:

People post about all kinds of things. From the personal to the political, from the silly to the profound, whatever you feel like posting. There are all kinds of conversations to get into, a group for nearly everything you can think of, and funny lighthearted stuff as well. So dive in, and welcome.

You probably can't say anything about ALL men. I did, though. And I have 3 kids, all grown.

Ok.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 9, 2018:

That's a shame. Do people need to get kicked off the site? I still haven't run into anybody being that negative. Maybe it's just the posts I choose to look at or something. Or is it worse for women? Another woman who is a friend of mine on here got tired of the negativity took a long break. Is there no way to fix it? I hate to see people leave.

I learned that song when I was about 12 or 13, and have played it off and on ever since. I remember romancing a French Canadian girl at the beach playing this song when I was 16.

How long counts as a hover and how long as a visit?

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

A hover is when you're on a computer and pass your mouse over someone's thumbnail picture, and it shows a bit of their bio. A visit is when you actually click on their name and go to their profile.

Curiousity has gotten the best of me. Why do people like a post that they haven't read?

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

I don't know. I make it a point to read everything in this group.

This one is definitely R rated.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 6, 2018:

Witchy woman.

I find that starting a conversation on-line rather than face to face is harder for me.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 6, 2018:

It can be hard, particularly depending on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'm up for chatting online, and sometimes not at all. In person, however, it's easier to talk and to read the other person, plus I just respond better to actual people.

Do you attract a certain type of the opposite sex? Do you have a preferred type?

Attention Musicians

Tomfoolery33 comments on Oct 6, 2018:

If you play an instrument, you use that to build songs. I read music, but it's been so long that I might as well not be able to (I took guitar lessons from the age of 8 to 12). I don't use charts or written music, and I've been writing songs for years.
