Same. I lost my spouse to Covid in ‘22, I’m never going to get over it, it was horrifying. I’m old too, and starting to feel my age, so that’s another added worry. So I’m never going to stop wearing a mask in public, I’ve resigned myself to it.
That look is too funny. =o_o= Love this picture!

Sweet kitty.

Same. Then I want to meet every major character, and I’m also truly curious to see that sausage Dibbler makes (though didn’t say I’d want to eat it.), plus get a loaf of dwarf bread, heh.
Bought my first iPhone from Wal-mart, and it was cheap. Got a 5s brand new but now old stock, it was probably 2-3 generations behind what was the latest release. Great phone.
Edit to add: cost under $200
I get you, and I’m left handed, but I do like the TP to unroll from the front, BUT back to the topic point, I don’t want to kill a relationship over something so trivial. I can’t even honestly say, as far as which way the TP unrolls, if there should be an imposed law, for a right or wrong way, though I know many a battle has still been fought over it, heh.
May not be what you’re getting at but your comment reminded me of a Groucho Marx line where he says he wouldn’t want to be a part of any club that would except him as a member.
My little dog figured it out, to scratch its own belly, it’ll do the sploot (back legs poking straight out, tummy to the floor) and then drag itself across the carpet, so it’s tummy gets rubbed.
I think dogs just love a good scratch from us, like some people (self included) love a good scratch on the back from another human. It’s nicer sometimes, when you have someone else putting in the work for you.
That you’re going to have a hard time trying to do something. Think of like a gardener hoeing some tough weeds out of the garden, it’s hard work.
Though I feel you’re just being facetious and that’s cool, I’m commenting in case others might not get it.
Anyway, I think the real point is, if you’re the type of person who gets hung up on super grand weddings, you’re probably also the type of person whose insecure or shallow, or whatever, but leaning towards some type of pathological personality, which if so, would make for ‘a hard row to hoe’ so to say, as having a healthy long term relationship with, because you’re already you showing some deep emotional issues, that need working on first, before you go and commit yourself to another. Marriage is hard, especially sustaining a long lasting one, and one of the things people need is to be as close to mentally healthy as they can be, I feel, before committing their self to another.
Yeah, I get you, and have had the same thoughts as well. I remember telling family members there are some aspects to being like the Borg from Star Trek that to me don’t seem all that bad. I’ve also stated to family and friends that I don’t see anything wrong with replacing our biodegradable bodies with machine parts in a sci-fi way, if only we could move our conscience minds (because even the brain is organic so it can breakdown physically/deteriorate/rot) into whatever more durable/enhanced/long-lasting machine one wants to put it into, so to say.
And then trying to choose my words carefully here, because I don’t want to come off as rude or lewd: I’ve also talked to them (family & friends), about whatever human chemical/hormonal processes; that how frustrating it has sometimes felt to me (and I’m sure to others), because I know there’s times when I’ve felt arousal to the point as ‘feeling really horny’ to put it crudely, and then at some point even though a part of me wasn’t looking for sex, it would eventually feel to me this ‘needs’ to be dealt with, as in needing a sexual release. So how much of all that is then one being, in degree of ways, at times controlled by one’s sexual urges, as another example: how testosterone and estrogen works. And so in a sexual nature, then how much these urges push/control and/or distract one, continuously throughout a persons life.
How much do all the things that pin us to our organic bodies then hold us back from some bigger phase of enlightenment, I wonder?
Edit to add: Or is this the thing, or one of the greater things (?) that’s been holding humans back?
Hey, thanks for the comment and stating your side of things, that gives me more to contemplate. I guess I’d have to instead state that ‘maybe it’d free up some extra time for others.’ I sometimes forget to chose my statements carefully, realizing that all things are subjective. I’m also glad that you have amazing relationships, it sounds liberating!
Fed up making new names, instead put two random words together, bam! Whitehorse. — Very happy, all rejoice.
Gene altering and also maybe a way to grow babies in labs? Honestly I don’t know other than that.
Heh. I’m in my 60’s now, and have had two kids. I’m still sexually active and I like sex too.
This isn’t about being sexually frustrated (I’m not.) or even hating sex ( I don’t.), it’s just something I’ve thought a lot about and wondered on, hypothetically of course, so no worries, no one’s coming to steal peoples sexual organs.
But just imagine how it was like, back when you were a child, before thoughts or sexual desires existed for you, you’re life didn’t need or was involved with it and yet I’m sure as long as you weren’t being abused, life was good and you spent your time in other fulfilling pursuits.
Edit to add: reminds me of a Blues Traveler song, Hook. And then the lines:
No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow
And I’ll posit that it was carnal knowledge, so that he could stay a child of wonder and innocence, happy nonetheless.
Eh, just my thoughts.
I think sex/sexuality has reached the point where it’s a hindrance to humans, other than when you need to keep the human race going.
I wonder if without it humans could finally reach a new stage of enlightenment.
Because, without it, so many aspects in peoples lives would obviously be changed; people would have lots more free time, instead of looking for ways to fulfill themselves sexually. There’d be no more sexual exploitations or horrible sexual attacks. Also guess that it wouldn’t really matter all that much about gender anymore either. And if you never experienced sexual arousal it’s not like you’re going to miss it, though I do realize that’d suck for those who have but the very first generation made not knowing, is all it’d take to begin to move past that.
Aww and thank you.
