I don't envy this poor guy

I'm also an atheist.

As such, it has allowed me to live a comfortable and mostly uncomplicated life uncluttered by the politics of religion.

I also have no children that I know of.

I'd like to related an experience I had with a religiomatic woman.

I own an appliance repair business.

I often do repairs for poor, elderly people gratis.

I enjoy their reactions when I tell them "no charge" and, I enjoy the feelings this allows me.

I had done this for an old woman and had been to her home again for something else.

When I came out, the judgemental neighbor was waiting for me near my truck.

She said this:

"I heard about how you treat old people.

You're a real christian and you'll surely go to heaven."

I looked her in the eye, smiled and said, "Ma'am, I'm an atheist."

She gave me a shocked look and actualy said, "Oh, you're going to go to hell."

True story.

I damn near choked to stifle my laugh.

ET TU, TIBERIUS?

"Iran is good we are evil

why bother writing long blogs on this glenn? You're continual drum beat amounts to nothing more than iran is good we are evil.

You will say anything to advance your ideology. You have no credibility outside of the salon left wing fringe.

-- tiberius"

It's clear that you have NEVER used your left hand or both of them together.

Did that fall on your "tighty righty" side hurt you?

I'm an American Veteran(Nam) and am AGAINST yet ANOTHER invented war.

The typical tighty righty sits in his/her/its soft little chair and sends OTHERS to fight the invented wars and whines about those who do NOT want their Dads/Wives/Sons/Daughters to die for YOUR BS.

TO THE LW

Hi there, LW.

This one got my total attention.

I'm originally from a small town in ILL.

You may have heard of it.

It's called Chicago.

I have live in L.A., San Francisco, Twin cities and now, Wausau, WI.

I have enjoyed much of what these places have/had to offer.

I am able to comfortably navigate in a major city as, I understand how they operate and how to experience/avoid what I like/do not like.

Wausau is a small city of 38K with a total surrounding population of well over 50K.

WI has woods and more lkaes than any other state in the country.

The air is great. Take a whiff of our dairy air;)

Wausau is growing and, the economy is stable and, there are good jobs to be had, especially if one is qualified at something.

There's way less crime than most place and, add to that that most of us are decent Americnas as opposed to neocons.lol

If you google around, you can check out La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau, Appleton and many other cities which are not overwhelming in size.

You do have to be weather patient though.

Good luck and explore for yourself and visit before making a committment.

Not frustrated. Not lonely and NOT tired of it all.

I sometimes read the weepy sites.

You know, the "I need", "I'm lonely" sites.

I find most of them both humorous and full of desperate BS.

So many of them use flowery language as if they're writing mythology.

Others are into the "Must nots" as in:

Must not be into "activity partner"

Must not be seeking this that & the other.

The "I'm lonely" ones seem whiny and desperate.

Then there are those who are seeking "Mr/Ms Right".

What the hell is a "Mr/Ms Right"??

Do they ever actually find Ol' Righty??

I'm an older, single guy with a comfortable life, both financially and socially.

I'm not one of those "physical specimen" types.

I'm average and not ugly.

I'm fun, fairly laid back yet, assertive.

I do have several women who have repeatedly asked me out, etc.

In my appliance repair business, I make house calls.

I meet many different types of people.

Some of them know me and have tried to "fix me up" with someone THEY think is the "perfect' match.

I'm glad I still know how to run.lol

I am admittedly not one for a commitment.

I like my singleness.

Other than my good sense of humor and friendliness, I actually think the most attractive thing about me to women is that I don't give a damn.

Well, to the LW, stop trying so hard.

Psychopaths are NEVER sorry

As an example, also look at cheney's little puppet, bush.

TO: Cathy and Chris

I never donate anything to them.

I don't donate to ANY of these types other than the DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS.

I also detest the begging on tv with the pics of those "needy" children.

They really do a good job on the make up to make them look like that.

Whenever I hear one of those SA dingdongs, I think, "Hmmm, it must be Labor Day, they're out already."

THE FITTING MASTUR, ER, MEDIATOR

There is no more matching weasel for a backbiting, multiface fest than the chinless punk, wallace the weasel.

This little creep is a vomit inducer.

I'd bet it was a smarmy little tattletale in school who sucked up to the teachers.

Pirhana is full of it

Can anyone see the strings and hole in the back of this sleazebag which are being pulled by Barbara's abortion?

Someone in the press corp needs to GROW some testicles and challenge the s-bag and tell it it's full of shit.

There's something from real life about women who are "attractive".

Some of them are only so till they open their mouth.

I'm a guy and enjoys the company of an intelligent and courageous woman.

I could never, ever ~~~~~~~with Pirhana.

What a total turn off as a woman.

There are anti's about everything

What do these hysterical anti's expect the world to do, wind up a rubber band and hope it runs the world?
