I hate it when someone asks me what I'll be doing in five years...



Like I have 2020 vision, or something??

Nice... I read the paper today, & in the opinion section, there was a comic of him announcing the 2016 Democratic nominee for prez - as Al Gore...

I got a message (presumably) from an attractive 31-year-old in my neck of the woods recently.

Sadly, the phrasing of the message suggested that she(?) was NOT from my neck of the woods. (The phrasing wasn't remarkable in any way though.)

But hey!! At least it was personalized enough that I was fairly certain that they'd read my profile - that's a plus, right??

Sorry to hear that. I hope 2016 kicks bootay for you.

Uhhhh...

Nope. Nothin' to say to that...

OK, that was officially hilarious!!

Merry Christmas everyone.

You're assuming that his parents LIKE him...

I've been giving this a bit of thought over the last couple of days, & I've come to the conclusion that the ONE gift that I'd give anything to be able to give, would be to give people a bit more time with loved ones that have passed on.

Even if it was just One More Day.

Compared to that, anything else that I could think of just seems frivolous & shallow.

I really like 'Mary, did you know?', probably because of the passion that it contains.

But recently, I was shocked to discover that Hayes Carll (of all people!) had recorded a Christmas song that is probably one of the BEST Christmas songs that I've heard in a good long time - listen to it yourself, & tell me that you don't think that it just really has a lot of heart:

Grateful for Christmas

(Alternate link, in case that one again doesn't work...)

I think that this is one that a lot of Minglers can probably relate to.

Yep, that's me too Scoobert. I know that no one's going to agree with everything that I say, but hell, even if I disagree with someone, I'm usually hoping that we can still be friends.

That really is a great song, & deserves to be played a lot more.

Currently listening to 'Cadillac Ranch' by Springsteen - I'm not a huge fan of his, but I really like this one.

If the obit was written by a predictive text system, it would probably be written in a manner similar to the original post.

To someone maybe, not to me though.

I recall my first time with a condom, I must have been 16.

I went in to buy a packet of condoms at the pharmacy. There was this beautiful assistant behind the counter, and she could see that I was new at it.

She handed me the package and asked if I knew how to wear one. I honestly answered, "No, this is my first time."

So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I apparently still looked confused. So she looked all around the store to see if it was empty. It was empty.

"Just a minute." she said, and walked to the door, and locked it.

Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside. "Do these excite you?" she asked.

Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was shake my head. She then said it was time to slip the condom on.

As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her knickers and sat down at a desk. "Well, come on," she said, "we don't have much time."

So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could no longer hold back and KAPOW. I was done within a few minutes.

She looked at me with a bit of a frown, "Did you put that condom on?" she asked.

I said, "I sure did." and held up my thumb to show her.

He stops crime - single-handedly.

Yes, exactly.

So THAT'S what that means!!!

THANKS David!!!

Not really...

She WASN'T Amish??!?

But... Like... She had the beard, & EVERYTHING!!!
