    Child birth and dad in labor room

    I was there for the birth of my two sons. I think it's beneficial for men to see what women go through and how their (hopefully) wife handles it. It can also provide support and courage for the woman, especially for her first time. I have jokingly told guys: "Never get into a fight with a...

    Great Music from the 70's

    Dan, American involvement in the Vietnam War spans most of the 1960s, not just the 1970s. One of my cousins did 4 tours of duty there, beginning in 1965.

    Hallmark Movies

    I don't watch them. In the first 30 seconds you know who's going to marry whom, who's going to die off, who's going to move away, and which couple is going to break up. Much too formulaic.

    Christians and Firearms

    That's odd. I grew up around guns, and I have owned a gun since I was 11 years old. I have slept with one under my pillow for over 35 years and I carry one almost everywhere I go. In all that time, none of these terrible, horrible guns have injured or even threatened anyone in my family. I don't...

    Christian Nudists

    I love being nude also - as long as it's warm enough. Under 60°...forget it.

    What are you currently watching?

    TV used to have a lot of nudity, compared to today's prudish standards.

    Let's talk about separate bathrooms

    When I see these situations, I have addressed the lined-up ladies, saying "If anyone's interested, there are 3 empty stalls here in the men's room, and no one in there except me. You're welcome to use them." I've always had some takes on my offer.

    Jeopardy’s all-time female champ: What is a ‘woman’ who is actually a man?

    What is a man who pretends to be a woman? They're a man, plain and simple. All this "gender" stuff is nonsense - or worse...

    Christian Nudists

    It is for some people. When I was younger, I could reach every spot on my back and even shake hands with myself behind my back. Now I'm too old and stiff...

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    That's the decision of the lawmakers. If they make laws allowing cyclists to ride 4 - 6 abreast, then they have to tolerate the delays and congestion which results. It seems to me that "sharing" the road should be mutually beneficial.

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    What an obnoxious reply. You have no basis to extrapolate my opinion about cyclists to women being raped. Two completely different contexts and mindsets.

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    Having lived in rural areas most of my life, long, narrow, curvy, up-and-down backroads are the rule rather than the exception. Perhaps your brain is too urbanized.

    They shouldn't, in my opinion, but if the people of that area allow those laws...

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    I'm not justifying violence, just saying how good manners often prevent it.

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    I said in my post (above) that I wasn't applying my statement to this case, but rather bringing out the fact that many cyclists are unnecessarily rude, and that can provoke violent reactions.

    16 year old driver hits 6 cyclists while 'rolling coal' to intimidate. (DA: TX cops botch inv.)

    Not applying it to this case, but cyclists can be pretty rude. I've often found myself going 10 MPH behind a group of cyclists riding 3 or 4 abreast (not in-line) on a 2-lane road, given them a polite toot with my horn, and gotten flipped off. Doing this with the wrong driver can result in an...

    Preppers?

    Regardless of religious choice, I would be glad to answer questions about generators (in forums or PM Conversations).

    Down to Earth Skills

    Getting the generator running! :D Actually, many more than that, including general electrical & plumbing work, auto repair, horsemanship (no horses anymore though), cooking from scratch, and raising different animals. My mom was a country girl who grew up without plumbing and electricity. They...
