dragon54u responded to a discussion called What type of mailing will you stop if the post office raises their stamps in frugal living.

It's still cheaper than paying online! I tried to start paying online for my utilities but each of them charged $1.50 to do so. The only way to pay for free is to set up automatic payments and I refuse to do that. What kind of candy did you send? If you send something flat like fruit leather it's only the regular stamp. The thicker the envelope, the more the postage or that's what a postal ...

dragon54u responded to a discussion called The lie about "equal access" to birth control in politics.

The left is merely playing on unthinking women's fears in order to persuade them to vote Democrat in the upcoming election. Nobody is denying women--or men--access to birth control. You can walk into any convenience store, drug store or gas station and purchase birth control. The only BC that is restricted are the medically prescribed ones because you have to see a doctor first. No one shoul...

What a smart family you have! I remember the first time I was without water because of something like that--I was young and simply went to my mom's house. But my dad and mom taught us to think ahead and I was determined never to have to depend on someone else if I had no water (or money, or food, etc.). Back then there was no bottled water sold in stores, or I wasn't aware of it. I used gallon ...

dragon54u responded to a discussion called Do You Do Things in Your Sleep? in people.
12 hours ago
I sleepwalked when I was a child but that stopped when I was about 12. The only thing I do is have what I call "screamer" dreams. I used to have them several nights a week, dreams that I knew were dreams but I couldn't wake up from and my kids got used to me screaming at night. Since my divorce and moving back east I've had very few of them, maybe one every few months. So I think it's just stre...

dragon54u responded to a discussion called "Participation Trophies" A huge scam against American families!! in usa.
12 hours ago
I'm cleaning out my closets in my preparation to move and I asked my kids if they want me to keep their old trophies. Both said no. They know that these participation trophies don't mean anything. The exception was the trophy my eldest won in the Pinewood Derby the year his car won, he's proud of that one. Neither of them ever put much stock in those trophies because everyone got one and they w...

dragon54u responded to a discussion called Instrumental Music in listening to music.
12 hours ago
I actually prefer instrumentals. Songs with lyrics can have mediocre music because it only has to support the vocalist while instrumentals have to express emotions and paint a landscape without the help of words. I think that people who say that music needs words to give it meaning are just trying to compensate for their lack of imagination or they are too lazy to interpret the music themselves.

That makes me think of the picture someone did of her as Marie Antoinette--she is either just as naive and ignorant as that ill-fated queen or she is a brazen elitist. Perhaps she is part of the stupid group of people that think the government's money is magically produced and inexhaustible, not forcefully taken from the people of this nation. Either way she is a disgrace to the country, as is ...

Mommyboo, I was thinking mainly about singles when I suggested abstinence. But that's no reason for you to say I should not have been born--my dear departed mother would certainly disagree with you. As for my paying for someone else's birth control, I will one way or another if insurance companies are forced to provide it for free. I'll pay for it in my premiums and fewer benefits. If the go...

dragon54u received a best response in the discussion Have you ever been on tv? by Java09.
1 day ago
I have studiously avoided any exposure to cameras, especially television cameras. I don't know what the attraction is, why people want so badly to be on TV. I even avert my face for traffic cameras. I'm glad you got on TV if you wanted it, it's something not many people get to do.

dragon54u received a best response in the discussion Would you ever consider getting plastic surgery? by Java09.
1 day ago
I've never really been happy with myself until the past few years but never considered plastic surgery. I always felt it would be an insult to my Creator to change the face and body He gave me. However, if I was disfigured I would probably consider it. I have no plans to cover up my wrinkles, age spots and so forth--they are more like badges of perseverance and tenacity than marks of age!
