dinner at the catfish restaurant tonight.
[they have REALLY good food,and a salad bar to die for!!]

if THAT is the side of you that you want people to see...
by all means.

but,i think that you would probably do better if the picture was of you IN the bathing suit,instead of just a picture of the bathing suit.
[unless you are trying to fix your bathing suit up with another bathing suit,of course,in which case,i know a GREAT pair of swimming trunks that i could introduce your bathing suit to!!]

someone who is not smiling,or frowning in all of their photos is a huge turn off to me when it comes to the photos,as it speaks towards their personality.
[or,lack of one!!]
also,photos taken in a filthy,cluttered house also speaks of laziness,and a lack of self esteem.

as for the profiles,i tend to psychoanalyze them by what they write!

whenever somebody spends their whole 'about me' section ranting about what they dont want,describing how terrible their last significant other was,or talking about how everybody is fake,or just looking for a piece of A**,instead of describing themselves,i think the psychology behind that type of personality tells me everything i need to know about them.

dating-site-to-english translation:
why cant i find a REAL man? = decent men avoid me like the plague!

profiles like THAT where they dont describe themselves,and also ones where they dont feel the need to post a photo also speak towards a narcissistic personality,and laziness/apathy since they feel that people should just blindly desire them,sight unseen,without any effort on their part to tell everybody WHY they would be desirable.
[and,then comes the 'why-cant-i-find-a-real-man' victim mentality']

sorry,people....on a dating site,it is a target rich enviornment,and you have to be able to sell yourself,or else nobody is going to pay any attention to your bland,nuerotic profile when there are LOTS of profiles where there are people are actually willing to be a little bit vulnerable,and put themselves out there for people to see,and examine.

in other words,you cant catch any fish,unless you are willing to put a little bit of bait on the hook!...
OR,the ones that you do happen to snag are the bottom feeders who will message ANYTHING with a pulse that nobody would want in the first place!
[which brings us back to the 'why-cant-i-find-a-real-man' starting point.]

i have seen quite a few profile on here of people that i find VERY desirable,based on their profiles.

and,i have also found profiles that i logically think should send people screaming off into the night as they quickly run as far away from them as they can get.

but,just remember...NOBODY is perfect!!!
and,what does YOUR profile say about YOU??

I sometimes feel like I am too introverted,but I do go out and socialize at least a couple of times a week,either going m/c riding with some of my friends,or going out to some of the local bars to sing karaoke,which has caused my 'not work' circle of friends to expand greatly.

I sometimes wish that I was religious,as one of the most socially redeeming aspects of going to church is the opportunity to socialize with other people in the community at least once a week,but,unfortunately,i am not religious,and I refuse to be a hypocrite,and ACT like I am a believer,just to gain the other benefits of going to church.

so,im YOUR opinion,when OBAMA bails out a company,it is a horrible thing,and the work of a socialist,but when TRUMP does it,it is perfectly fine?

imagine THAT!!??!!??

it sure is funny how all of the G.O.P. brainwashed trumpsters,and republicans all SCREAM whenever somebody just MENTIONS 'socialism',but when trump has to give the farmers he is screwing over with his trade tariffs a $12 BILION dollar bailout,all of a sudden they don't see anything wrong with 'socialism',when it is one of THEIRS that is actually practicing it!!

isn't THAT ironic??!!??

A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:

"Dear wife, You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy.
I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant.
I'll be home before midnight.

- Your Husband"


When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:


"Dear Husband. You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Hotel with the 18-year-old pool boy.
Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.

Don't wait up."

the main difference between canada and the U.S. that makes canada so much more liberal,and accepting of other cultures than we are is the fact that THEY didnt have slavery up there,and have to fight a highly divisive war over it,so you do not see the rampant racism up there like we have down here,which BOTH sides use as a tool to stir up strong feelings to try to empower their own agendas,and ulterior motives with.

yeah...it makes perfect sense!!! "

is that actually RAIN i am hearing??

if you want to find love,FIRST,you have to learn how to love YOURSELF!!

everything falls into place after that!

you can tell how well they are working by the way that we have had to dust off an old depression era law that let the dept,of agriculture give the farmers a $12 BILLION DOLLAR BAIL OUT!

cuz NOTHING screams 'SUCCESS' like having to go back to the great depression era to find ways to keep people from losing their farms!

I miss the 'good-old-days',when PEOPLE were smart,and APPLIANCES were dumb!!

seems like the tables have been turned,nowadays,though.

trump might have sold all of the farmers that he SWORE he would raise up,snd make their lives better than it ever had been before down the river,and into bankruptcy so he can pretend that he is acting 'presidential',and to try to distract everybody's attention away from the Mueller investigation,but,on the bright side...

at least SOME of them will get a new 'make farmers great again' hat.

trump's tariffs have now started hurting the country,and even the people who supported him,and are leaving the taxpayers to pick up the tab for his incredibly stupid actions.

since against ALL of his advisors advice, trump unilaterally decided to impose trade tariffs against the countries that USED TO BE our allies,and plunge our country into a trade war with them,the price of LOTS of the stuff that we use on an everyday basis have increased exponentially,while the items that we have been selling to other countries have not been selling nearly as well as they used to.

new cars are not costing us THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE to buy!!
washers and dryers are now costing us HUNDREDS of dollars more to buy!
even COKES are now costing us MORE money to buy,since trump decided to start a trade war with he rest of the world.

the profits for other goods that we have formerly been selling on the world market have also been bringing SIGNIFICANTLY LESS,as well!
soybeans,which HAD BEEN bringing an all time high before trumps tariffs went into effect have plunged from $10 per bushel all the way down to BELOW $8 per bushel...over a 20% drop in the profits that our farmers HAD BEEN making off of their crops.

as a result of this enormous loss,the dept of agriculture dusted off a depression era rule,and had to give the farmers a $12 BILLION dollar band aid,to help offset the farmers losses,which the American taxpayers are going to have to pay for,NOT TO MENTION the fact that all of those farmers who are losing such a huge part of their income will ALSO not be paying taxes to the government on that income that they are no longer making,which will mean that THE REST OF US are going to have to make up THAT money as well in our own taxes,while our own infrastructure crumbles down around us.

so,not only did Donald trump break his promises to all of he farmers who he SWORE to that he was going to support,and make their lives so much better in order to convince them to give him their vote,he is also trying to plunge our economy into another recession,just so he can try to distract people from the fact that Robert Mueller is closing the noose around his neck,and he is continuously making a fool out of himself every time he turns around,and can try to pretend that he is not the buffoon that the rest of the world sees him as.
[and sees US as,for actually electing him as 'president'!!!]

Warren buffet,who has a new worth of over $82 BILLION dollars, HAS made mistakes,and had companies that failed,and declared bankruptcy,but,unlike Donald trump,he has OWNED his mistakes,and taken full responsibility for them!!

the company that he was a partial investor in,Energy Future Holdings,he bought 25% of for $2 billion dollars,and wound up selling his share for $259 million dollars,after receiving profits of $837 million dollars before the crash,he took a loss of $873 million dollars on the deal.

notice I said that HE took the loss!!!
he didn't leave OTHER PEOPLE holding the bag while he sailed away on a golden parachute,like trump does.

THAT is what makes warren buffet so much different than Donald trump,and gives warren buffet the ability to ridicule trump about his bankruptcies,and tax returns like he has publically done!!
