I could probably name the states. There are just a couple I have not seen yet. Maine. South Carolina. One or two others.
I don't have really any disposable income any more, I have a lot of responibilities to support a fair number of people. If I ever have a tiny bit left, I might be something little for my bike or my guitars, new socks or strings or something. Once a month, I get takeout pizza or something as a special treat. Other than that, it is a strict budget. So funny, when working, money was really a non-issue. Not boasting in the least, but one really bad bp day, I drove down to the BMW dealership and impulsively spent a ridiculous sum on a new M3. You know what? It did not make me feel better in the least... Money never made me happy--ever. Are you currently proud of your country? Conflicted? Not proud? __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I am proud of Scotland.... we have a good country here. I'm proud of how the First Minister of Scotland has handled COVID 19 she isn't bowing down to the numpties in England. We are still completely in lockdown until at least next Thurs (28th). We are a proud nation be it you want independence from UK or not. I'm proud of my Scottish roots.
Question: How are you faring up in society now with whatever measures your government has put in place in regards to COVID 19? |

In America, I would answer by saying we are still in the first inning, of 9, but since you are in Scotland, I will simply offer that we are in the fifteenth minute or so of 90. The Trump Coalition's pressure to deny science has resulted in most states opening up before any infectious disease expert of any skill level would ever approve of. So, we are headed for a disastrous late fall and winter of far, far more deaths due to COVID here. In the long run, this typical short-term thinking will harm the US and therefore, world, economies much more severely than had we simply done the sceintifically advised thing in the first place. And before you complain that I am a typical blue-stater, I am, in fact, a lifelong Republican from extremely rural Texas. There is no redder place on the planet.
Do you like Winnie The Pooh and if so, which character is your favorite? __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I could say my kids, of course, but truly, when you get down to the last and final and by far biggest thing for me, it is love for my creator. Despite all I have been through, the severe illness we have all experienced, surviving torture, 5 years in a hideous state hospital, I am closer to God than I have ever been--by miles and miles. I cannot even begin to express how much I love Him for what He has done for all of us and does each and every day. So grateful for him.
Favorite animated movei of all time? Mine is Coraline. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

That's a good one, too. Amazingly enough, I have never read a Harry Potter book. I am a huge Robert Galbraith fan, though--that is the pseudonym Rolwing uses when writing her mystery/thriller series. Really outstanding writer. Brilliant.
Seen any good movies lately? __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I did like Joker, but felt that mental illness was just a small side story in that movie. I saw it as making a much more political and socialogical statement. I felt the use of a mental illness in that story was more as an analogy. One that just so happened to work better than if the movie's hero had cancer. Perhaps if the mental illness in that movie was more familiar and accurately portrayed, it would have fail in its intended purpose. Obviously, for some it failed and others not.
I did not see the Joker as the bad character in that movie. The figurative "Wayne's" were the bad ones. People can just forget about the whole Joker portrayal in all the Batman comic books and mega money making movies. It is common for the oppressed to be portrayed as bad. Frig Batman! I sympathized with the Joker, in this case! Those who didn't, did not get the movie in the way I did. Many who didn't could be the same oppressed that vote for their oppressors. The question will be, when do those people realize their real oppressors and revolt? Last edited by Anonymous46341; May 25, 2020 at 04:22 PM.. |

Just an alternate perspective, but for me there is no bad guy. There's judgment of polarization. I think both sides demonstrate the effects of imbalance. The forgotten and then the stars who are rats. Does anybody naturally seek to be either? Can we integrate both and find a way forward? The one or the other mentality is not the only choice. Revolution also means to spin around. I'm bored with this loop. I feel it is time to shift course altogether. I choose neither. And both. What is your favorite BBQ/grill food? |

Ah, well, I guess being the good Oregon boy I have become, probably a freshly caught, fat Chinook from the Pacific or one of our rivers, cooked whole on the grill. I like to stuff it with a bunch of lemon slices and maybe onion. Some nice dill sauce. Big bunch of people and a nice party. Eat out on the patio. Something like that. Oh boy...

being single.
I have never been interested in relationships (in the slightest), and thankfully no one is interested in me either I just enjoy being single. being able to do what I want, when I want, with no drama, or arguements, etc I know relationships mean a lot to a lot of people, but no... I am happy with the single life. more than happy with it. question: how many medications did you try before you found something that works. (are you still looking?) |

Yeah back in 2002 I went camping at the foot of Ben Nevis in Scotland with my best friend it was amazing and we road the Harry Potter train too.
Then in 2003 I completed The Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award in which I had to camp as a final tester. It's all about leadership, map reading etc. We climbed Glen Esk and Glen Prosen small ish lol hills in Scotland. It was amazing I did have some fun stories from those thrips though Question: If it's nice weather where you are, are you enjoying it by sitting outside soaking up the rays? |
