Ever since my parents crashed at Roswell, they haven't stopped talking about it. I have 37 sisters. Let's see . . . art all my life, comedy is king, say nice things. Singer of funny songs, a lifetime of travel -- and the world still surprises me. I sometimes teach things to others, and I'm ALWAYS learning something. Always follow the teachings of The Beatles -- And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

38 Wikipedia Pages That Are So Wild People Online Can’t Believe That They’re Real

"If you really wanna make a million bucks -- start your own religion."

People Share How They Realized They’re Not That Young Anymore (39 Answers)

Hated when I was no longer addressed as "Miss", now it's "Ma'am." And now my dating pool is made up of men who look more like my dad. OUCH!

"He Rarely Brushed His Teeth": 30 Women Share Unusual Reasons They Broke Up With Their Partner

I have always considered a bad boyfriend was the stepping stone to the next one. Helps you determine what you don't want as much as what you do want. And when you find that good one, everything is easy . . .

"He Rarely Brushed His Teeth": 30 Women Share Unusual Reasons They Broke Up With Their Partner

My boyfriend wasn't just co-dependent, he was still her baby. She ran his life like I was invisible. Considering he was a corporate executive, so was his mom in the same company! I knew I didn't have a chance since she considered me NOT wife material . . . but I had a great time needling her every time we'd meet. I made him happy away from her, but she had a grip even the 'jaws of life' could not break. When I finally left (after 3 years and a lot of fun), it was the only break up that didn't make me cry. (There's a movie in this where I'm laughing on the beach, at sunset, with a drink and great friends!)

"He Rarely Brushed His Teeth": 30 Women Share Unusual Reasons They Broke Up With Their Partner

Consider that some men make great boyfriends but not roommates or life partners. So many I would date but NOT move in. When they found someone who would move in, the break up was easy for me. Early in my dating life I grew tired of making someone else comfortable at my own discomfort.

Book was great but the movie followed the wrong thread. It followed greed and violence instead of interspecies communication. As with most movies, the book is much better.

LOVED the music (Can't miss with Go Ask Alice). Movie started losing steam very quickly. Girls were interchangeable, no one to actually follow.

"The Absolute Best Of The Best": 40 Of The Most Talented People

Not a fan of hyper-realism. That serves the purpose for academia but has no heart. To be technically correct -- just take a photo, it's at least faster. Artistic interpretation says so much about the artists and the times. Much more personal. Art makes you see other things and dream . . .

Knowing that it took a lot to maintain this "look", someone had to be paying for it. Doesn't look like these gals work . . . so . . . how was it financed? (As an EX-punk, leather was not cheap.)

50 Antinatalism Memes That Explain Why Some Folks Don’t Want To Ever Have Kids

I still laugh when anyone asks "Don't you miss not having kids?" What? How can you miss a 3rd arm or leg when you never had it? And anyone I have met who has kids, and knows I am single with no kids, ALWAYS ask if I will sit with their kid. I'd actually sit with a dog or cat, but NEVER a kid. And they NEVER ask a man these questions!!!!

50 Bits Of Unsolicited Advice That May Be The Thing You Need To Hear Today

There are some people in my life that are GREAT long distance and short periods of time. And the few times I get together with them is better than them constantly wearing me down. Think of it as clothing . . . wear the appropriate gear for the time needed. No, this is not mean . . . diversity doesn't have to be everything-all-the-time.

Have you considered that when women ask for help from a man that they are flirting. I feel certain they could do what they needed if no one was around . . .

30 Things That Are Unimaginable For Women, Yet Are Absolutely Normal For Men

Men don't seem to need as many personal items with them . . . and they have pockets. Women carry all sorts of personal items (including a mirror) that they have to be ready. And sometime men need to borrow something she is carrying. I find it nice to come to a man's rescue when he needs something . . . kinda modern day Mary Poppins. Since there is no (or little) Boy Scouts today I guess they are not so prepared . . .

What’s The Worst Date That You’ve Ever Been On?

Yes . . . I went out with a man who was stunningly handsome . . . over dinner he proceeds to tell me of his alien encounter, in incredible detail. I "Mmm"-ed and "Hmm"-ed as long as I could, looking around, not paying attention. Then I started saying things like "They didn't learn anything from you, did they." and "A whole 'nother species who didn't even know you threw you back -- says a lot about you, and them." While he was STILL talking, I get up under the pretext of the bathroom . . . but I corner the waitress in the hall, get her to show me out the back of the place and not to tell him 'til she sees me drive off. At least he had the decency NEVER to talk to me again . . .
