Do you take the bandage off fast or slow? Do you jump into the cold pool or wade in slowly? Fast for both, but more importantly... hell no to cold pools! What’s the point? And... shrinkage! |

The bandage, well most are about to come off anyway so it isn't fast or slow.
hell no to cold pools! What’s the point? And... shrinkage!
I an not concerned with shrinkage. I used to recover fast but now take a little while.
One of my jobs was to go out in -20f weather and start cars or tow them to the garage where I worked. I had my fill of cold and wet so I try to avoid it. If I am out on a bike ride and get wet, that too leaves me with "why bother with cold water voluntary."

My theory is that the answers for both questions will be the same for practically everyone. I'm slow for both. Which means I can drag out something that I know will be painful for way too long. Likewise, I avoid discomfort and try to minimize it leading me to prolong the situation. I never made that connection before. |

Nope, not getting laid either. Although it is 0345... Can I ask what is a ‘religious date’? Doesn’t sound like it can compete with a Radiohead gig to be honest. If workingonit doesn't mind I'll answer that.... Among many religious Jews, dating for fun is discouraged. One only starts dating when ready to get married. And although in my day it wasn't as prevalent, nowadays most of these dates are arranged by matchmakers. So these dates are somewhat formal. The guy dresses up and goes to the girl's house and meets the parents first. The dates are usually to places where the couple can talk, so often a restaurant or coffee shop....or hotel lobby. The talk is oriented towards figuring out if the other is good spouse material. It is still possible to have fun. My now married kids went on dates that included archery and animatronic dinosaurs. But still formal. For the first couple of dates, the couple doesn't even talk on the phone directly, all communication is through the matchmaker... whether they want to meet again. Things are a little less formal for the more modern variants of Orthodox Judaism and more formal for those more traditional. Eventually the couple breaks up or gets engaged. That's pretty much it. Sort of bizarre, but surprisingly successful for most who share the same values to begin with. Thanks for the explanation, this is very interesting, and not an approach I am familiar with. I have a few Jewish friends and co- workers who appear to have gone about things in a conventional way. I am sure this method produces as many successful and unsuccessful matches as any other. I have a friend who argues vociferously that dating apps are simply digital matchmakers and suggests that this proves that society is regressing rather than progressing. I’m unconvinced. |

Not a vacation but yesterday I went to a mid-scale place for lunch, alone, again. No use being upset. That is the way it is and I am not going to change my W. I was given a $50 gift card for Applebee's and I decided not to share it with my roommate. So I went by myself a few weeks ago and still have 1 or 2 more meals on it. You're exactly right, nothing's going to change and neither is my wife. The last few times we went out together to eat, she just played with her iPad or iPhone the whole entire meal with no conversation.
I also have another meal card for $50 that I will go by myself and not share with her either.

....she just played with her iPad or iPhone the whole entire meal with no conversation. That is really disconnected behavior because I hear people complain about people that are glued to their electronic devices when doing things that are considered social events. It seems us older folks dislike the electronic intrusion more than the younger folks.

I don't mean to upset anyone belief system but I watched a couple creation-intelligent design VS big-bang and natural selection-evolution videos. My W doesn't like those things and to her they are depressing.
My W has her daily devotion books and today's article was depicting how cruel animals are, where one animal eats another animal to survive and comparing the love for fellow man as written about in her devotional litature, as a much better thing to think about, as more enlightening.
On one level, the daily devotion was slamming Charles Darwin and suggesting being happy with God's love. My W was trying to get me to read her devotional books and quit watching and reading about what I consider "how the universe works."
She seems upset with the Darwin's writings, upset with the expanding universe and the what is called "The Big bang" and that I don't buy the idea the Earth is 6K years old.
Bottom line is nothing romantic is going to happen between us, it will be distant roomies at best, so why not just go for what I believe to be the truth instead of some writings where everything is all laid out nice and neat in one book?
I said people can be kind to others without a carrot or a stick, just because it leads to a better life style for all, or it would if more people lived that way.

Sure is a disconnect. The question is: is it done consciously as a deterrent? Does that other person have their head so far up their arse that they don't realize how rude they are? In either case, it shows up just how much they don't care. Anyone who would do that to me would drop like a lead balloon in my estimation.
