your name here!

 

I should almost start a new thread called 

Random Retirement Ramblings.  

Here are three:

1 - Would you want to know if someone is having sexual fantasies about you? 

        Are you sure? Part of me would (guess which part), but the rest of me would not. 

2 - The coolest email address: yourname@gmail.com.  

Rando Dude: "What's your email address?"

Me: "It's yourname@gmail.com"

Rando: (Looks up, stares) MY name?

Me: No. Yourname.

Rando: "Wait...your email address is my name?"

Me: "No, it's yourname."

Rando: "So your email address is randodude@gmail.com?"

Me: "What? No, it's yourname@gmail.com."

Me: (Gets punched.)

3 - I forget the third one. Which is perfect for a retired senior f-ing citizen, which I was just called last week for the first time ever, to my immediate alarm and despondence. (Wow - turns out "despondence" is an actual word. I hate it when I try to make up words and it turns out they are actual words, like shenaniganry. At least I still have skidaddalize and reconstabulate going for me, which is nice.)

Oh Joy - I remembered! But upon further review, it didn't make sense, so never you mind. It was about how out of touch people who are passionate about something are. But then I remembered how much I love passionate people. And passion in general. But there sure is a tipping point. The fine line between passion and obsession.

And why is the line always a fine one? Can't it be a fat line? Or a coarse one?

Enough with the R-cubed.

On the other hand, if you want an opinion on beer or chocolate, I'm your guy!

Topics that get my fellow progressives all fired up that you’ll virtually never hear me give an opinion on: -          Keystone XL  -          Vaccinations  -          Net Neutrality  -          Climate Change  -          Abortions  -          Fracking Some of them are such personal issues and the others require expertise I don’t have. I either prefer to keep my thoughts to myself or at least, not pretend I know things that others have or haven’t figured out...even if I'm not sure they are as sure they've figured it out as they are.  And you're not the only one. Even I had to read that sentence twice to make sure I understood it.

Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose? Just not much sign of the change part

Interesting conversation with a young (20ish) voter last night when I questioned her lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden in the upcoming election even though she is a clear liberal/progressive. When I asked why she found it hard to support him, her main thrust was not about his age, per se, but about his being part of the old guard, wanting to do things the way they've always been done, in a capitalist system young people don't trust or value. And she understands some of the appeal for Donald Trump, despite being almost as old, in that he wants to shake things up or, more excitingly, blow things up.  I told her that reminded me of us when we were her age when Richard Nixon represented all that was evil and wrong with the world. He was the epitome of what we called The Establishment. Totally resistant to any kind of change or accepting that things were way out of whack, the country wasn't go in the wrong direction - it wasn't going in any new direction that would right the

My frustrations and apologies

  Looking at this blog a few days ago, I decided I didn't like the colors of it, so out of boredom, I decided to change it, choosing one of their choices of "themes", and boy do I regret it. Not only did it lose many of the "widgets", as they call them, on the sides, some of which I was able to eventually recover, though I still don't like the way it presents them, but it incorrectly and incompletely displays the posts. The one right below this one, if you click on it, shows correctly that the items I listed were written as bullet points but when one looks just at the blog, it throws them all together as if they are part of a sentence. So I apologize for the new look. Yet once again, I've had to sacrifice reality in favor of beauty.
