re: Why are most women not funny?

My wife is the Francis Ford Coppola of humor; she is not funny very often, but when she does its epic. We have been laughing at one of her jokes for 20 years....

Some really good detailed summations in this thread!
Govt offers stability and a pension, but little career control and miles of red tape. There are the fiefdoms as mentioned, especially in education. If you get on the wrong side of a political appointee, they usually can't fire you, but the c...

I was a huge Oscar Watch Party Fan.

I love the OT.
I was grumpy when I opened this thread.
I chuckled at 'tired' and 'retired', but 'you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel' forced me to shoot Fruit Loops all over my monitor and keyboard.
The whole first page is gold.
Worth it.

re: Stupid Things Said to Women
Posted by DarthGadget on 3/2/24 at 3:52 pm
When I was 35 and not ever married yet, I was dating a 23 year old smokeshow for about 6 months. Every aspect was beyond great (not exaggerating at all) except....agreement about religion. I felt that only really mattered in the case of a longer term relationship.
One night in the hot tub we got ...
Anybody have experience with the new HECM mortgages?
Posted by DarthGadget on 2/20/24 at 11:55 am
We received an offer on our house and most of it is an HECM the buyer wants to place in selling their existing house in a reverse mortgage.
This is a new in 2024 program for 62+ year olds that I had not heard of before.
From the HUD website: The only reverse mortgage insured by the U.S. Fed...
re: I love the shaming that I get from women for dating younger women.
Posted by DarthGadget on 2/17/24 at 5:23 pm
When I was 35 I took a break from the dating gig...until I fell into a thing with a 22 year old mom (OT 9). I could not believe it. While it carried some risk as she was supervised by me (TOTALLY worth it) I was absolutely amazed at the reaction of women my own age. They were nice about it, but I f...

re: Ok OT, who you picking for a long weekend NSFW
Posted by DarthGadget on 2/3/24 at 3:45 pm
I would have to meet them both..that is the key. Farm Gal is bigger but I would not call her fat. I would spend the long weekend with the one who had the best vibes; I would probably spend the night with either to discover how their vibes are.
Three of the things I know for sure:

Certainly some valid criticisms.
The CGI fighter runs at hyper speed in Ep 1 turned me right off. BF109s are not F14s in Top Gun. Even with closing speeds of both aircraft taken into account, it was way off. Memphis Belle was perfect with the fighters, I got the see that movie with a B17 gunn...
