Eh. Not sure if it was the 'wrong' reaction, but it was my reaction. People don't "let their hair down" IMMEDIATELY upon meeting someone. It's not as if people have "a-hole" or "jerk" or "abuser" tattooed on their foreheads. It can take a few days, even up to a few YEARS before the ugliness...

:oops: Oh my...Then again, I don't have enough information to judge. I mean, was she ALWAYS like that (and you didn't know about it), or maybe you were last in a series of men who ghosted her...or...other? But still...yeah. Presumptious. See, I wouldn't have agreed with that reaction from you...

I dated a cop for a few months back in the late 70's. He came over to the house, and got to talking with my grandfather. My grandfather was asking all kinds of questions about his service REVOLVER (!). Boyfriend took out the gun, unloaded it, made sure it was safe and handed it to my...

My comment wasn't meant to be an insult, by the way. I have this vague recollection of being at a gun show years ago in Los Angeles, picking up a silver 9mm and hearing the retailer refer to it as a "ladies handgun" because of how comfortable most women found the grip to fit their hand(s)...

Oh really?! Once again, you're lumping ALL retired people into ONE category and ALL non-retired people into another. Stress is personal. What stresses out one person may not have the same effect on another. Factors such as finances and health will either contribute to someone's stress-free...

No. They were hubs guns before marriage. Gave his mom 'custody' of the weapons. Wasn't that considered to be a 'ladies handgun' because of how well it fits 'her' hand? Very commendable of you. I'm impressed. :gd Not saying that she deserves that place of honor, but the idea that you gave...

Ouch! I KNEW there had to be more to the story than you just ditching her...because! Looking for a place for you both? A bit presumptuous on her part? Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about "red flags" in the 70's-80's. I was supposed to be the 'Good Christian Girl' who forgave 'my...

:Laughingoutloud: I don't own any guns. My late hubs owned the guns. Let's see...I know he own a .22 rifle, and I think it was a Ruger...He also owned a Colt .45 (recoil almost tore my arm off the first time I shot!) ...a S&W .357 revolver...a Walther P38 (I think)...plus, he owned a handgun...

B-b-b-but...Plenty of men ALSO wouldn't be able to do that same task, nor would they WANT to do it for 2000 hours a year! In fact, I could go a step farther, and say that of the male working class, MOST men wouldn't know the first thing about HVAC...or even plumbing! Does that mean that MOST...

I didn't KNOW he was a 'bad choice' until AFTER that. Unfortunately,, they don't all wear their true selves on their sleeves from the get-go. Who knows. I never did. I already knew a LITTLE about gun safety by that point. Sure. I can see that. But the good news is, that she could...

Noooooo! I didn't have that! HIS house? What happened to " Ohh, who cares whose name the property is in?!" What happened to OUR house? You can't have it BOTH ways. My late husband? Yeah, it was "his" house. And I was treated like a 'guest' in 'his' house, yet expected to be the 'maid'...

Not a question of WANTING to, but BEING ABLE to. It's one thing to tell a woman (especially) that she CAN'T do something (because she doesn't have the ability, skill, knowledge, etc. ) and another matter to tell her that she SHOULDN'T have to do something. Dang it. I broke a nail while...

Not MY experience. Year ago I had a boyfriend who actually STOOD BEHIND ME while some dude threatened to "Kick his Azz". The desire to "protect" isn't inherent in ALL men. I'll bet!! I've only shot TWICE in my life. My late husband took me shooting (at HIS insistence, "In case he's not...

It wasn't 'nationwide' or even cultural. No Wynona, you don't get to say what's best for other women. Feminism is responsible for a LOT of changes in laws to be more fair to women. Try spending some time overseas and THEN come back and tell me that feminism isn't needed. An easier time? It...

Since when were ALL women, children and the unborn a "protected class" under Patriarchy? Protected from WHO or WHAT? Wynona, it seems like you see ALL women WORLDWIDE as being revered, cherished, loved, etc. Some cultures ALWAYS allowed women to vote, and it had nothing to do with fighting...

Yes, he had a wife. "But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you." Genesis 6:18.

Sure. Genesis 9:8-17 "Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, 9“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the...

Well...we know that the human heart is still capable of/demonstrative of evil, right? When do you think that the Flood occurred?

Yeah, actually there is. Not so much for Jews, but perhaps Gentiles? There was a king named Urukagina who ruled within the 24 century of a place in Mesopotamia. First, he seems to have abolished the former custom of polyandry in his country, on pain of the woman taking multiple husbands...

Nope. Just because something is "common" doesn't make it "normal". Actually, polyandry was VERY common in Jesus' day. Even prior to that.
