    Simply unreasonable…

    It depends on what is going on. All of us have our faults, and all of us annoy others in some way. So, if it is one of those "little" things that are not damaging in the long run, then it might be that the person feeling hurt would be better off learning to accept the partners humanity. On the...

    Yes or No

    If you like dogs and kids and sleeping on the couch, then yes. (Wait ... my teenage son sleeps on the couch, so ...) Do you read books late at night?

    Do you use other sites to meet people ?

    I don't know if any sites. I spend so much time at work and with the kids that I don't have time or freedom to go out and try to meet people. And even if I met someone I could hang out with, I don't have the time to do that. Wish I could find a site and be able to meet and chat/visit with...

    Post your Height

    6'1" ...don't know what that translates to in cm for those outside the US. I do know that there are 2.54cm to an inch, but, I don't have the ambition do the math (or even Google the conversion)

    Your Heritage

    As a proud American I can agree with that. But it makes sense. Europe has over 2,500 years of recorded culture and history. Asia has over 3,000 years. The USA is only just under 250 years old as a country. So, we look back to where our families came from in order to have a sense of history and...

    Your Heritage

    Exotic! But I can sympathize with the feeling of wanting to be like everyone else. However, I think those around you would miss out if you were something different than who you are.

    Your Heritage

    Irish, Sicilian, Polish. I have no idea when the Irish side crossed the pond ... but the my Sicilian great grandmother and my Polish grandmother came to the USA as political refugees during World War II.

    Do you find sleeping hard? If so, what helps you?

    I used to have bad insomnia, but my condition was directly connected to bad habits, and not to any medical issue, so my solution won't necessarily work for everybody. What worked for me was to set a VERY strict bedtime schedule with a set pattern of activity before going to bed (brush tee, get...

    Depression is killing my marriage

    Just wanted to provide an update - had a heart-to-heart with my wife this weekend. She agreed to see a therapist. Praised be God! Thanks again for the feedback, empathy, and advice the other day. Being able to get this weight off my chest helped, and all the feedback motivated me to have this...

    Do you have any tattoos or piercings?

    "For effect"... it takes effort to be cool!

    Do you have any tattoos or piercings?

    No piercings or tattoos here. Always hated needles, so I've never been tempted to get either.

    Do you have any tattoos or piercings?

    Ouch! That sounds like dental work without Novocaine (not that it is as bad, just sounds like it). Ah, to be 13 again .... to be filled with emotional angst, to be stupid but totally ignorant of it, to have bad ideas that seem like world-changing philosophies .... Nah, on second thought....

    Water

    Yep - also known as "dihydrogen monoxide." A primary ingredient in many industrial solvents. It also is the primary cause of erosion. And we drink this stuff?!!?

    Water

    I drink a lot of coffee. Used to drink a lot of soda (cold never stand the taste of diet, so always the sugar filled garbage). Then COVID, and now I can't stand the taste of soda. So it is nothing but coffee and water. Keep a bottle of water at my desk. Found that staying hydrated cut down on my...

    Post Something Positive About Yourself

    I'm able to get along and be pleasant with anyone I have to work with - even if I don't like them.

    Depression is killing my marriage

    Thank you all for listening. It helped - a lot. I needed to unburden myself but had no one to talk to. Glad I found this forum. You all are wonderful! Instead of my usual cycle of being down and sadness feeding on itself, talking with you broke the pattern and made things better. I hope I can...
