Let's keep up the varied posting so that religion doesn't take over the site. Sure, religion has it's place in many peoples lives, and on this site, but it shouldn't be allowed to dominate.

I thought the site is free for all. I'm not religious but I don't mind telling the freaks how misguided they are. One of them has already quiet down a lot. He's probably flat out busy praying for me.:yh_rotfl

I used to have a window sticker in my car that read; "Chaos, panic and dis-order, my work here is done!"

Good to see you back Omni. What a wonderful job, you must be a very special person to cope with those conditions and you evidently must have far more patience and understanding than I ever could :-6

And eventually you end up loving them even as they pull your hair and curse the heck out of you 😂😂

Maybe it's just that children have yet to learn stuff about life, whereas the 'old farts' have been there and done it and know that because they are 'old farts' they may be able to 'get away with it' ?

I suspect young Skittles knows a lot more about life than I do.

It's rather pleasing to see her drop by again, she's the only poster I can think of who's been a member here for pretty close to half her life. She had an earlier account than her current one, if I remember right.

That's because most of us are 'old farts' Mr. spot, and Skittles is very young ! Forum Garden has only been in existence for around 10 or 11 years (if I'm not mistaken), so we 'old farts' don't stand a chance of being able to say that ! LOL

Maybe it's because the young are young! & energetic & curious & look forward while the old look backward because they know what is soon to be right in front of them; their own ends. Also, the young are physically flexible while the old-----are not & have aches & pains & fears & doubts; have lost all or most of their loved ones. I could go on & on but I'll spare the readers & myself.

I very frequently stay up late, so I too must be smart Skittles ! Also I don't have 'sexy' dreams because I have to sleep on my back, and I'm told that I snore sometimes, so that I wouldn't dream much at all ! :yh_rotfl :lips:

Animals can really struggle with reflections in mirrors, probably because they're so vivid, unlike reflections in water (usually). Their reactions can be hilarious!:wah:
