Absolutely. Why not?
Would you meet a girl in a bar? Church? I don't see any difference, except you get to talk here before you commit to meeting. I think is as good an idea as eHarmony or any other valid dating site too. I met my current friend on-line.

Very sexy. My wife and I both enjoyed it, but we would stop in the 8th month though, it gets a little problematic after that. It can induce contractions.

Have? Yes, one that just found me. She cares for me and is giving me a good reason to keep on pushing on myself.
Had? Yes, several, some from many years ago and one that found me and kept me for 44 years of wonderful life. She died in January of 2015 and my life went away for a while.
In reality I've only had 6 "Lovers", but each was a wonderful thing and each would get a medal. I never screwed around, not my style, so for 44 years I was "Out Of The Game" so to speak. I am not anything but grateful for every one accepting me and what I was.tai9qCndzt7oDeD0

A gerund is a verb with ing at the end that acts as a noun.
Example:
Smoking is bad for you.
In this example the verb "smoke" has ing at the end and acts as the subject of the clause and is therefore a noun.
Running is good exercise.
Sucking on tits makes me happy.
Thank you! I have very vivid memories of being tied up and tortured to get me to diagram a sentence. Not true, but my English teachers would shake their heads and walk away at my efforts. Mostly I just memorize what it should be. One told me once she wasn't sure what would happen to me if I didn't understand English better.
Now I'm trying to learn how to write stories people want to read. My first effort at a memoir my kids want was so bad I threw up. Since then I've learned a lot and I'm getting ready to try again.

First date went well. Or I thought, now 2 days later and no contact. What's the rule of thumb ? Should I move on ?
Move on and don't look back. If he's not interested enough to send a thank you he's probably not for you. You have expressed a concern about "No Contact" and that tells me you'd like a thank you or some acknowledgement you exist and he had a good time.
I'm an old fart though and was brought up in a different time. My mommy taught me that that's what a gentleman does.MWeJlUmEVbDaPViV

I do not believe in destiny, it implies I have no control over my life. Love at first sight? Yeah I do, it's what happened to me and gave me 44 years of beautiful life. Lots of problems, but nothing that couldn't be worked out.
I don't believe in luck either because it implies that some can control their fate with wishes and wants. Pasquale said, "Chance favors only the prepared mind." I believe that so I've been preparing my mind for years. I've found many of those favors, but missed many too, I'm not sure what the odds are though. Pretty much I believe it's all a crap-shoot, just chance taking another swing at us.
Being a Taost helps with that, it helps me "Think."

Okay, this is an anology and as such is a quite solacious depiction of another thing.
As a "Sandwich" I prefer the right one.
As "Another Thing" I don't care. Each has its good points for different reasons. In either case it would be totally ignorant to turn down either when offered. If she's willing to have me, I'm willing to make her feel like the only woman in existence.

The one that always got me with the kids was, "No Duh!" To me that was the epitome of ignorance for some reason. At least I think that's an irregular verb form. I'm still not sure what a participle is and the term Gerund is so far out of my ken it's gibberish.
My English teachers would stand and shake their heads at me watching me diagram a sentence. Now THAT is truly a non-logical thing because of all the conflicting rules.
I never got it.

A harvest pot-luck bar-b-que for 20 or so. My daughter is doing it and everyone brings stuff from their gardens. She's making ravioli made from slices of zucchini wrapped around Gouda cheese and covered with fresh tomato from our garden. Her husband has harvested a couple pullett roosters (We have a beautiful Rhode Island Red that rules the yard and we don't want fights so they get eaten) for the carnavores like him and I. My grand daughter is doing a big caprese salad. Others are bringing many new things too. I'm hoping some of our heritage purple tomatoes are ripe. It seems to take them longer than the red ones. We have a solar hot tub and 30 or so chickens for a back yard so it'll be an entire sting evening.

All of them. I'm not particular about any specific body parts. It's what's inside that's important, not the package it comes in. Kids are enamored by the package, that's what advertising is all about.

To be brutally honest, I don't get that explanation. Maybe it makes sense but I haven't really understood any of the explanations on this yet - not really understood.
I think the problem is that everyone is looking for analogies, and I want to know like actually what is the explanation, technically. If that means it's not in layman's terms then I'll just have to work it out.

Okay, he's the official electrical engineers explanation. I designed computers for 30 years and feedback is a very big problem. It's always a problem when the output feeds back. Positive makes it sun away into squawks, squeals and a lot of hurt ears. Negative will kill the original signal if it's to high.
"Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation.[1] That is, A produces more of B which in turn produces more of A.[2] In contrast, a system in which the results of a change act to reduce or counteract it has negative feedback.[1][3] Both concepts play an important role in science and engineering, including biology, chemistry, and cybernetics.
Mathematically, positive feedback is defined as a positive loop gain around a closed loop of cause and effect.[1][3] That is, positive feedback is in phase with the input, in the sense that it adds to make the input larger.[4][5] Positive feedback tends to cause system instability. When the loop gain is positive and above 1, there will typically be exponential growth, increasing oscillations, chaotic behavior or other divergences from equilibrium.[3] System parameters will typically accelerate towards extreme values, which may damage or destroy the system, or may end with the system latched into a new stable state. Positive feedback may be controlled by signals in the system being filtered, damped, or limited, or it can be cancelled or reduced by adding negative feedback."
That's a quote from Wikipedia and as good as anything I'd write. Does that help?
Any system that can be effected by its output, electrical, biological, mechanical, anything, will be distorted by positive feedback if it's to loud. Do you understand frequency and amplification? If not we need to start a little farther back.
Ask away and I'll try to make it a little more understandable.

Absolutely. In 44 years of marriage we both did, probably several thousands of times. We didn't talk about it, we just did what the other needed right then. Sometimes it was "Not Right Now" and that was always respected too. When we first got together we talked about that and our deal was never say no unles it was serious. No pain, physical or emotional.

It's easy really. A fluorescent light is light because ultra-violet radiation (the stuff that can burn your eyes in sunlight) is created by ionizing a drop of mercury in the tube which excites the phosphorous coating on the inside and it gives off light. If you phosphor a TV screen then only turn on selected spots with an electron gun, both enclosed in a vacuum tube, you get an image if the lit area spots are small enough. Each spot is a pixel in digital-image speak.
Phosphorous is an element that when excited by adding energy (ultra-violet, electron beams, radiation, whatever) it gives of that extra energy as photons and it glows. The phosphors can be chemically changed to glow different colors when excited by different frequency electron guns. When they figured that out we had the first RCA with a round screen that was fuzzy and sold for a couple thousand dollars. Since then technology's changed and it's a lot more accurate and easier to do without the vacuum tubes.
Cameras just work in the opposite direction and turn images into pieces (pixels) so small your eye sees a complete image when seen with a viewer.
Did that help? I'm an old engineer that likes to help.

I think your original question has already been answered, but here's something I still can't understand: how a sewing machine works. As far as I can tell, it's impossible. Possibly black magic.
For example, if you look at this animation
The thread goes both behind and in front of the spool. So, is it just held aloft by sorcery or something? I mean, it can't be some kind of super-high-tech electromagnetic technology that holds it in midair, because sewing machines have been around for an awfully long time.
Similarly, what's moving that rotating hook that catches the thread? As far as I can tell, it can't be attached to anything or it won't work.
WTF???
The image is deceptive, you need a 3-D image to see it. If you take 2 lines and and secure one end then start tying a series of single over-hand knots it's exactly the same thing. The machine allows the tension on each thread to be set so the knot meets in the center of the fabric. I've put a few hundred thousand miles on sewing machines. My latest machine is a Pfaff, is programmable and embroiders.

Feedback. As in the loud whining noise you hear when someone's on the radio and they go too near their radio with their telephone, or whatever.
So last week I was at my folk's house and it happened on a phone in on Radio Five Live. My Dad explained to me what did it, but even when he'd told me, I was none the wiser!
Anyone got any personal examples? And if anyone can explain what feedback is in laymen's terms...
Hi,
Have you ever gotten into a conversation with some one who for whatever reason your opinions differed enough to where it became a loud fight? That's "Positive Feedback." Each one excites the other more and the volume increases.
But if you respond with calming and non-argumentive responses it calms the situation. That's "Negative Feedback." You won't allow the volume of the argument to increase.
If you keep pumping on a swing and the swing arches higher each time, that's "Positive Feedback." Positive feedback so are additive so the volume, anger, swing, whatever, goes up. That squeal is you doing a 360 degree flip on the swing or a screaming fight that tears a vocal cord.
Does that help? If not please ask questions. It always helps to visualize the examples. Feel yourself pumping that swing and think about the amplified signal going back to the microphone that amplifies it again again sending it out to return again just like with each push you make and you swing higher until you go all the way around and you squeal. That's exactly what happens which is why they always ask you to turn your radio down or off. It always overloads with feedback. Let me know if I helped you, please.
I'm and old computer design engineer and I need to keep my mind working by helping explain technical things that have always come easy to me. I taught engineering for 10 of my career years the rest designing military weapons systems and telecommunications switching networks. I've been retired for 10 years and I'm recently widowed after 44 years. I gave 7 kids, 17 grand kids from 8 to 36 and 3 great grand kids the latest only 7 weeks old. He is absolutely gorgeous.

Coffee. I drink a lot of it, a couple liters a day. My son is a home roaster and a judge of home roast and blend competitions and he refers to my coffee as "Swill", which is okay with me because I get to remind him he drinks coffee made from tree rat turds. There is a rat that eats and digests the hust then leaves the beans behind. Pun intended.

Wow!
From 1948, or so, on Grande Island, NY, until 1955 when we moved to Oklahoma, it was always "Pop." Afterwards it was soda.
Mostly I hear soda, or the product names. I drink very little of it, bad stuff really, but I am addicted to Root Beer Freeze. That's "Mana," a true gift from God, or some other being.
I collected "Pop" bottle caps for years until my mother threw them away. Sorted by name and everything. Crap! She also threw away a Superman #1. I don't even look any more to see what it might be worth. Last time was years ago and it was over $100,00 then. Also old batman, hulk, and a lot of others. No, I didn't kill her and I still love her. She died 30 years ago.

Congratulations to the winners first, then all who made the top ten. You deserved it.
thanks, Liz, for the rules, and Nicola for the last. I'm afraid mine failed the last, but it wasn't intentional. I had to cut, and I cut wrong.
Maybe those rules should be added to the "Sticky" about competitions?

I agree with Cyndy. It's all about how the partner thinks. I'm 72 now but pretty much from about 21 until now it's been all about that. If she thinks like an adult, she is. I am not interested in children and think the death penalty should be reintroduced for child molesters.
From when she starts thinking as an adult until she can't any more. Age means very little. I did have a girlfriend twice my age when I was 25. I've been married to the same woman for 44 years and do not chase so younger has never happened. She's 6 years older than me and had 4 kids when I married her. They are all my kids.
I have had several woman work for me that were very young, 17 actually, that had to grow up very young. One was on her own at 15. Either one would qualify as an adult and I could have been with either. I never tried or indicated anything, they worked for me. I've also known women 30 to 70 that thought like children and them I would not be interested in.
Enjoying life and sometimes acting like a child is what being happy is about.
You don't HAVE to act like a child, but it helps sometimes.
