  Who cares? If younger women likes me, what can you do about it? Nothing!

  I truly do not care, but you air your laundry calling a woman/girl a "chick" is demeaning, then attracts opinions on both ends of the spectrum.

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  at my age i didn't want to spend the next 4-10 years going to college classes after work.

  i have mentioned this in a few popsts but wanted to share this on a new thread so that everyone can find out how easy and cheap it can be to go to college.. i am studying online with cuny (city university of ny).

  tuition is $2165 per semester if you take 4 or more classes.

  Personally when you call a potential date a "chick" you lost major points with some women and it comes across very demeaning.

  When I would read your threads I thought you were in your early 20's hunting down women, I believe you mentioned you are in your early 40's? Am I THAT out of touch and most men in their 40's act this way?

  Question on real estate dispute

  by Gerard in

  my question involves real estate located in the state of wisconsin, usa.. .

  i bought a property with some forest land a few months ago.

  there is a neighbour that claims access to my property (he goes through it to access the main county snowmobile trail).

  I know in Massachusetts there a law,"easement of perscription". This bascially means if someone has had access to a part of your property for over 20 yrs they cannot be prohibited from accessing it. I believe even if you buy the property this "easement" goes along with the new owners". From what I understand there have been cases when this was not recorded with the county.

  Here is info on WI:

  Wisconsin:

  In Wisconsin, the period of adverse use must be at least twenty (20) years. Wisconsin Code § 893.28.

  TSA encounter at SAN

  by Yizuman in

  1. social
  2. current

  [these events took place roughly between 5:30 and 6:30 am, november 13th in terminal 2 of the san diego international airport.

  i'm writing this approximately 2 1/2 hours after the events transpired, and they are correct to the best of my recollection.

  having left the area, he stated, i would be subject to a civil suit and a $10,000 fine.

  I agree with the TSA's procedures but where I have a problem is when the they are going to force him to the pat down. Come on, his items went through xray and he a metal detector. The passenger was calm and kudos to him for recording it. I wonder if the TSA will sue him for recording, there are signs all over at the security screening that no one is to photograph/record.

  Anyone remember this former C.O.: Kevin Wright?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  2. friends

  during the early 2000s, kevin wright was the c.o.

  for a circuit that included several of my friends.

  i remember hearing my friends complain about what a tool this guy was--and these complainers weren't just "lowly" publishers--some of them were elders and pioneers.

  Interesting info on Kevin. When he was in my KH he would not give too many details on his ex-wife, he would say "she did not love Jehovah anymore". IMO knowing the jerk he is, I think he drove her away. He would always try to "befriend" me but I could see right through him.

  21stCentury feel free to PM me, I would be curious to know what his wife was like.

  Convention Hotels

  by Billzfan23 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard an experience a thousand times (in conversation as well as from the platform) of a person who had a talk on the district convention program that did not stay at a hotel on the recommended lodging list.

  this person was spotted by a fellow conventioner and was asked why he was staying at a hotel that was not on the list and happened to be just across the street from the convention location.

  his reply was that he has a part on the convention and it would be more convenient for him to stay there than use one of the approved hotels.

  For years we always stayed "off the list" because the rooms did not provide a fridge. I feel for the familes who have to pack everything in an ice chest and try to make lunches in a hotel room. We now stay on the list but travel farther because the rooms have a mini -kitchen.

  I personally think it is crazy to tell us where to stay and have even looked up the room rates and find 80% of the rooms you are only saving around $10 per room/night.
