Ever since my parents crashed at Roswell, they haven't stopped talking about it. I have 37 sisters. Let's see . . . art all my life, comedy is king, say nice things. Singer of funny songs, a lifetime of travel -- and the world still surprises me. I sometimes teach things to others, and I'm ALWAYS learning something. Always follow the teachings of The Beatles -- And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Sorry . . . that's child brides.

Much as U.S. treatment of women can be appalling, outside the borders it can be so much worse. And those really ugly traditions (another word for oppression) like child bridges and sexual slavery are swept under the carpet and excused as part of the culture. I'm surprised women don't exit China, India and Africa in massive numbers -- and take the next generation with them.

For all the doom/gloom/predicted downfall, life has gotten better. Indoor plumbing, telephones, cleanliness standards are forever improving. And the world is on computer right now because of U.S. research and development. Europe had Dark Ages. The U.S. had the depression and it didn't take 100 years to get past it.

We also use the military as national defense when society breaks down or for natural disasters. And it was a lot of military that started the interstate highways & bridges.

If you EVER get the chance -- go to thrift & 2nd hand stores in LAS VEGAS! Between hotels going out of business and people moving there then tossing stuff it's like shopping in a CIRCUS! Clothing from old shows, every place has ICE SKATES (in the desert?) and huge amount of cold weather stuff they didn't know they would NEVER use -- boots, hats, coats. Better than any souvenir stand!

50 Of The Most Important Reactions People Posted In Response To US Supreme Court Overturning Roe Vs. Wade

Again . . . where are all the men EXACTLY? Women don't get pregnant alone but none of the men share any responsibility for the pregnancy. They should be handcuffed to the woman and endure everything she has to put up with. They need to drive her, feed her, help her in every way. Most men don't even help pay for anything, a sleazy way out but it would help. Maybe a tattoo on their forehead to keep score . . .

30 Careers That Seem Great But Are Actually Horrible And Careers That Are Often Overlooked, As Shared In This Online Thread

It's easier to sort through resumes than you think . . . most are poorly written, most have no actual experience, few have verifiable references. Those who can submit samples are 75% lame, people claiming the work of others. As an advertising graphic artist, I was usually called in during interviews to verify experience and samples. At least the internet makes it easy to find the liars, cheats and wanna be's.

At a party where I don't know anyone -- I play a game where I ask everyone their name, things about them, keep the subject on them . . . but NEVER give my name or speak of myself. Then I leave before the party is over, without a goodbye. As party where I didn't know anyone and I'll never see them again . . . it's my favourite mind game.

Most people DO NOT call me for fun . . . they call me because I can solve problems, offer solutions, actually do something instead of talking. Sorry, only one bail-out per potential friend and most people abuse that. LOVE to get messages but don't have to answer, only the people I love and trust deserve my friendship.

“You Eat Them Raw?”: 30 Shocking And Surprising Lifestyle Differences People Learned About After Visiting Someone Else’s Home

I did not know my family was poor . . . we made do, did a lot of free things, went to carload drive-in movie nights. When us kids got into high school, we moved to the country. Boys for miles around found out my dad was a professional mechanic/repaired cars (we were doing better by then) so they started coming around in herds! And he taught them car basics. It was the most popular house in town!

Consider that Betty Boop was oozing sexuality while Tom & Jerry were violently nihilistic, these cartoons were pretty tame. And don't forget those Smurfs -- something horribly wrong with all the guys and only one Smurfette. At least Bugs Bunny used his brain . . .

She appears to be a tight-rope walker. Maybe it was just rainbow filters on a white light that she can claim this colourful feature. Circuses in Europe were closer and more intimate that Ringling Brothers. Maybe it was a nightclub act -- the audience would have been very close and seen the details. Or it's fallout of being an Absinthe drinker . . .

What’s The Worst Date That You’ve Ever Been On?

Yes . . . I went out with a man who was stunningly handsome . . . over dinner he proceeds to tell me of his alien encounter, in incredible detail. I "Mmm"-ed and "Hmm"-ed as long as I could, looking around, not paying attention. Then I started saying things like "They didn't learn anything from you, did they." and "A whole 'nother species who didn't even know you threw you back -- says a lot about you, and them." While he was STILL talking, I get up under the pretext of the bathroom . . . but I corner the waitress in the hall, get her to show me out the back of the place and not to tell him 'til she sees me drive off. At least he had the decency NEVER to talk to me again . . .
