Heaven Ain't What It Used To Be
Have you thought about heaven? It's every religion's carrot on a stick -- you are lead along whatever road deemed as good and you will gain your reward in heaven. Not a very solid deal. No confirmation that this happens and if it doesn't, how do you complain? People have put up with horribly bad situations on the assumption that the universe will reimburse them later. Consider this like money:... (posted by Octavia 22 hours 55 minutes ago.)

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do . . . And Could Be Dangerous
Neil Sedaka was right, and tuneful, with Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. Unless you married your first sweetheart/love, at sometime (probably many times) you have faced a breakup. Doesn't matter which side you are on . . . the one leaving or the one left behind . . . the ending is the same. You are alone. And it's a personal rejection, the deepest level of despair. The...

Social Media . . . Are You A Face or Twit?
Face Book? That's a hot one! NO ONE is face to face! It's all electronic, passing through at least three different medias (could be as many as ten for different connections) for someone to get to anyone. You sitting there, a photo: if it's not already digital then it's scanned, then it's downloaded, then it's posted, then it's read, then it's picked up, then it's viewed and/or saved...

Some People Don't Know Good Advice When . . .
As a long time hobby, I cast into the internet to help with advice to the lovelorn. There's a lot of this about -- misinformation, no information, opinions on everything. I'm trying to help. Still . . . there are those asking for advice who will not take it, no matter how knowledgeable or practical. Here's another one: GAL POSTING ON INTERNET: (I was a late comer to this...

Divorced Men Are Crazy . . . And I've Met Them All
Every dating gal I know needs a laugh. Yes, divorced men are crazy. Some grew into it, some were driven to it, for some men I know it's their choice and women have nothing to do with it. I dated for 25+ years and I deserve a gold watch, or at least combat pay. For all the gals still dating (and truly my condolences go out to you!), you have to keep a sense of humor and I...

A Different Royal Wedding . . . And A Bad Omen . . .
London, England. July 23rd, 1986. There was a crowd of a million people lining the streets for the royal wedding of Sarah Ferguson to Prince Andrew. I was there. I had just moved to England and fell in with some wonderful girlfriends, and we all attended the second event of the decade. The first being Diana and Charles, starting the trend in royal weddings. It was an... (posted by Octavia 22 days 20 hours ago.)
