All my friends are old..... is a baby a new friend because it is new and a senior citizen and old friend?

 

[Sophrosyne]

I've been old all my life....... when I was born the doctor slapped my but and proclaimed..... only a few minutes OLD and already causing trouble. On my first birthday I was old........ 1 year OLD. I was asked many times in my life how OLD I was....... which means I was OLD in the past.

I don't even know why people get tattoos. I think it's to be 'in.' I think it's dumb. If you want a tattoo, fine, I don't care, I won't judge you, it's just a preference for me, & please don't judge me for not getting tattoos, or that you think you're better than me or more confident than me b/c you have them. It's not even b/c the Bible says not to get them, I just don't like them. I like the natural human body with skin. If I want to share my love of something in public for people to see, I'll get a shirt of it. If I want to be reminded of my love for something, I'll look at a picture of it on paper or a screen. I won't plaster it all over my body.

(I suppose I don't mind one small tattoo somewhere, but I would never do it so please don't judge me for that)

Moderate drinking is fine. Getting hammered a couple times a week is overkill. A drink or 2 in the evening is fine. Getting tipsy is fine. I'll go & say getting hammered once in a blue moon is fine. But when it's all you do, that's a problem.

I'm tired of all the marijuana billboards.

Excessive swearing bugs me. I hate it when people say 'Jesus' as a swear word. It's like some people can't go 4 sentences w/out dropping a F Bomb. Grow up. It doesn't make you 'cool' b/c you swear.

It is considered fashionable now and gets attention for people who are starved for it. (ego)

I think there is several problems with drinking among them is escapism that is people drinking because they want to escape from the world and stress etc. Like eating and every other vice it can escalate as the addiction turns into a mess. Some drink because their inner demons want to act up and as a drunk, alcohol can change behavior lowering inhibitions etc.

It has become more "cool" to swear now. I've even heard that some idiots claim that more intelligent people swear, I think otherwise as one can use a larger than 4th grade vocabulary to express themselves more completely that F bombing an G damning their way to half their vocabulary in speech. My swearing is rather minimal almost zero now as I stopped decades back but I don't typically say much of others swearing as in the end if they don't find bad habits worthy of quitting then they won't truly quit them for good.

What worries me is that so many people consider tattoos a “given” now. Not even a question of whether you’ll get one, but rather of what it will be. They don’t think.
As a great writer once said, in the information age we expected to banish paper, but instead we banished thought.

I've lived through all sorts of fads from bell bottoms to hippie long hair to short shorts and so on. Smoking was a fad and also a vice as nobody who wasn't cool wouldn't smoke back then. The difference with tatoos is that they are somewhat permanent unlike fads that come and I don't think you can easily (and cheaply) get them removed. In time we will have a generation growing up that rebels against their tatooed parents and decides that they are lame perhaps but as long as Christians are seen as those who resist tatooing and for now they are seen as (insert derogatory label here) to the secular public who is into almost everything that pagans were into in the Bible in past times that identified them as such tatoos may stay with us till the book of revelation has Jesus showing up and wiping out those who defy him and morality.

I went swimming at the Pool today with my Dad. I love swimming!

 

[GodAndChocolateVanilla]

Swimming is good exercise! And you get fresh air if you swim in a Outdoor Pool. ^-^

 

[GodAndChocolateVanilla]

I wish I could swim at the Pool all day. >_<

Mermaid Melody Anime

Your avatar looks familiar, @ChocolateVanilla ....

I mean, Second Knightess ChocolateVanilla.

I had a lot of anime on VHS back from 13 to 20 or so years old, and I had watched them over so many times back then that I remember a good deal of even the previews that came on before each one, especially their OP theme songs. I would wager that this character in your avatar was the star of one of them, something called Mermaid Melody or something like that.
