Smartie's Bar & Grill #68

Anyone who has had a cat knows the score. You 0 the cat 10, they are experts at working people.

 

What if you forget to remember.Sounds funny but I happen to
suffer from short-term memory loss.I've adapted.It started years ago
when I couldn't remember If I took my daily Med.That is how short-term
memory operates.You have a daily regiment and taking a Med or
meds is part of that.But if you doing things on a daily basis,it's very
easy to firget something like taking a Med.Especially if one is deep in
thought about something.
So years ago I made it a daily habit to use a calendar and write down
the time and day of the Med I took.Sometimes Meds come in a 30-day
pack that are individually boxed under tin foil.So you have to punch out
the Med in order to have it ready.

 

So if a cat was able to turn into a human,they would immediately
register as a Democrat.Whereas a trusty dog { Like a German Shepherd }
would graciously ponder all options before registering as a Republican.
Knowing how kind and concerned First Lady Barbara Bush was towards
fellow doggies.

 

There was a time when I could have been sued just for saying the word Wahoo! [See General Mills] Even places like snack food companies can be insanely secretive. I like to use my mobile to take shots of equipment, part numbers, etc. But usually I can't do it.

I did manage to get my ex wife on a stealth boat I worked on for the Israeli Commandos. Because it was Israeli but being done here, they allowed a little more latitude than normal. So the GM let me bring her onsite. But that was the only time I've ever been able to do something like that.

 

Today I woke up at 7 for a 9AM meeting. Checked emails and sent replies. Showered. Shaved. Dressed. Heading out the door when I noticed it is getting darker instead of lighter! WTF?!?! Okay, I've had that happen momentarily before. But I was literally heading out the door!!! LOL! I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep after I got home from work today. I assumed I fell asleep last night [tonight] on the couch. Everything seemed like a perfectly normal morning.

 

Yes, but again you seem to be ignoring my most basic point. Not everyone should be married. Just because people get married doesn't mean they should be married. And if people change, there is no way to know if you are still going to be compatible.

I completely reject this idea that marriages are always worth saving. For what? Why? Once I got past my Catholicism, I immediately saw the absurdity of fighting for a lost cause. We only live once. Don't waste life on noble fantasies. But I had to almost die for no reason, before I figured it out.

 

Sorry, animals have more sense than to dabble in politics. Cats and dogs have enough gumption to get up and work. And they stay out of yards that have fences. No, cats and dogs are strictly apolitical.

 

I have seen a turkey vulture town hall before. All the birds were sitting on a fence, except one that walked back and forth in front of the rest, while squawking. After a time, he jumped back on the fence and another one took his place.

I was waiting for CNN to show up to report on the debate but no one did.

 

I don't think I used the M word once in my posts, but I seem to have struck a nerve.

 

Then explain your meaning. I believe my response was perfectly appropriate to your post.

 

Couples do not always get married. I said nothing about marriage.
But I would be happy to share my thoughts on marriage - if you beg me.

 

Suffice it to say we've all had our own experiences with love and loss. Nobody ever 'figures it out' -- we're all flying by the seat of our pants. Whatever works for you and/or a partner is exactly what you need to do.

 

Did ya try the Officers Club? I heard she was headed over there. Something about bottoms up.

 

I thought it was Don't Worry, Be Happy.




Then I saw that guy in the Avengers Movie.....and said nope that's not Happenin.

 

Oh.....out spending eh? Fess up.....what did ya go and buy?

 

I am sure the vulture would know what to do next.

 

Great post Smartie. I sure miss the reputation thingamabob.

 

Well, whether a committed relationship or marriage, what I take away from my life is that you don't want to waste the time you have. But many of us were raised to believe marriage should be forever. Hit a nerve? Yes. When I think about the cost of my misguided loyalty, I still want to get sick. But then I think about who is coming over on Saturday and everything seems wonderful.

I am always interested in reading other people's perspectives on relationships. I've made an informal study of relationships and human sexuality for over six years now; and you might say that was with a hands-on approach.

One of the biggest lesson I've learned: Men are often more romantic than women. We're the ones who get starry eyed. Women have a far more pragmatic view of relationships.

The other thing is that men who see escorts and sbs often just want to be loved. It's the truth! Ask any escort. Obviously we want sex, but most men want their escorts or sbs to genuinely care about them. I've watched men go through the cycle of falling in love with escorts quite a few times now. I knew one guy who swore every escort he saw really loved him.

 

Well this is @Smartmouthwoman 's bar and grille so we should talk about food too.

I cook-up something delicious every day, usually at night when I come home from work at 4AM. Usually soup. Sometimes spaghetti sauce. All homemade.

 

This morning (for me -- 2:30PM for the rest of you) I am hungry for pancakes at McDonalds !! Simple and good and only $3 .

 

Tonight's dinner for me will be lobster ravioli with olive oil, garlic and basil. Total cost: $4.
