(1603) Almost evening all. The carols will start here on Sat 13th … 12 days of Advent, then 12 days of Christmas. Christmas pictures will appear from here onwards, probably tomorrow evening for the first in the sidebar.
Wrong attitude imho … if you start to enjoy shopping with her (takes getting used to and involves sitting on benches a lot) … then you enjoy the payback later in the process. It’s a nice experience, your lady rewarding you. But never simping and never right into the shopping … that’s a bit iffy.
17. In one
16. So why is Donny not arresting?
As MmutR says … coz it’s Pammy’s job. And why is Pammy not?
“Judging by some comments here, “The Case Of The Missing Will” appears to be an underrated “Poirot” episode. Though apparently loosely based on an Agatha Christie story, it is a quintessentially Christie-ian tale about a old tycoon, a possible murder, a missing will, the search for a heir, deep buried family secrets; the ending is a surprise, but a logical one (the biggest clue can be found in the method of the murder). Gender politics of the 1930s are nicely incorporated into the story, and it is a clever Miss Lemon observation that enables Poirot to solve the mystery. The production is elegant, and the ensemble acting is typically fine, with Beth Goddard a spirited Violet. The only questionable plot point for me was the lawyer’s remark that an oath could be sufficient for a person to claim that he (or she) is someone’s heir; even in the pre-DNA era, I doubt it would be that simple.”
(1333) Afternoon all … time getting away again … two loads of washing and gym coming up here. (1405)
15. Absolutely must be so

14. The N word
To say I was wide-eyed in shock at this below is the understatement of the week so far:
The only way I could pick the jaw up off the floor was after MMutR explained … he’s useful that way for us normies … he says that that’s not a despicable word to them (check her profile pic and text and you’ll understand). Were we to use the N word ourselves, it would have racist overtones but when those of that demographic use it … the educated, higher members … they use the word as we might use chav or even hayseed … the lower end of the social scale.
In that sense, it makes sense. I do have two tales about it … but in a different post later sometime.
13. Get thee over, please, good people, to AK Haart
HERE … on the topic of our gallant leadership … and the nature of chaos.
(1014) Better day out there today, mood around the corners of the sphere from resigned to more buoyant, slow blogging all the same as much gathering, communicating in other places going on, plus chores. For example, the Bookmarks in the navbar are now in three, to make more manageable, hopefully. (1055)
10. Moosh corner
… (was getting withdrawal symptoms) …
9. It might be Barron
… maybe just a fan, maybe DJT staff … still valid news:
8. Good work, Andrew
… I’d love to see Midazolam Matt finally nailed.
7. Is she still worthwhile as a source?
To answer the opening question … yes, methinks still a great source, whatever the reason for exposing hidden nasties. Possibly Benny Johnson too. But not Charlie Ward nor Health Ranger nor Bow Tie Martin, nor Campbell. But yes Lara Logan, despite her recent trip.
6. On a mission
… whether from God remains to be seen. When I made contact recently with my first ex 57 years ago, she was asking if I was trying to resolve something? Could not answer that weeks ago but think I can now … yes, a mission perhaps to “put things in historical context”.
I’m supposing that most of us reaching a certain age do start reflecting, if time, and finding some sort of closure if possible. For some, it’s a nostalgic kick, esp. through music, e.g. this coming up on Quora from one Bruce Johnson:
“Townshend started off his point of view by stating, âYou know, I could sit down and have a conversation with Paul about rock ânâ roll, and weâd be talking about two different things. To me, rock was The Rolling Stones, and before that, Chuck Berry, and before that, maybe a few people who lived in fields in Louisiana, but I can’t really include the Beatles in that. The Beatles were over with Herman’s Hermits. That’s not rock ‘n’ roll.â
Townshend viewed The Beatles as âa big pop phenomenonâ who created âlight music with occasional masterpieces thrown in.â This quote in particular is a hot, hot take, to say the least. Still, when viewed through Townshendâs lens (and when one compares The Beatlesâ music to that of The Who, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones), they arenât black-and-white rock ânâ roll in the slightest.
-Rolling Stone, 1982.”
Well yes, I’ve also been exploring music and in fact have a music post coming up which I’ve no idea who here will like. It’s ragtime and in other exploration, I’ve got back to grandmothers’ birthdates in the mid 1880s onwards, which puts all the rest of it, inc. my parents, plus lil ole me, in context, in perspective.
Thus the first full on ex-gf 57 years ago at a tender age really can be seen in perspective (the one I refound weeks ago) … plus the perceptions at that time, that the good times were just going to keep on rolling, not a care in the world, apart from school and exams.
Oh what a rude awakening we were all to have. They grew up, I maybe did not, eternal Peter Pan … until I was forced by life to grow up. The seven years following that summer idyll we had were rough. Good moments along the way but overall … rough.
And today, as a result of all this exploration? Attitude? Mood? Well not unlike with the blog exploration we’re doing, the finding out. For what for us to know? Because we bring sadness upon ourselves … chances lost etc., poor decisions, good ones … but the reason to know is those words used above … perspective, and maybe context. Seeing something which happened in context does help.
(0635) Slept in. Hope you did too. Yesterday was a stinker, today looks better. (0854)
5. Sillier things have happened
4. Do men deserve the right of reply?
A chap calling himself “Stunner” … uh huh …
Men have lowered their standards for decades just to please women, and it still has not been enough.
Men went from marrying virgins to marrying non-virgins, single mothers, only fans strippers, and prostitutes.
Men went from writing love letters to now paying for vacations and eating at expensive restaurants before she even considers giving you a chance.
Men went from marrying women who could cook and clean to marrying lazy women. Men went from buying flowers occasionally to now sponsoring women through school, buying them houses, cars, and expensive things just to prove romance.
Men went from traditional marriages to now having expensive weddings because it will make her happy even though its a waste of money.
Men went from standing to propose to now kneeling to propose to someone who will become your lifelong responsibility and a liability and take his money, kids and properties.
Men went from marrying fit women to now marrying fat and lazy women
