It's not a new decade.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 2 Jan 10

I've had it up to my eyebrows with the commentators mentioning 2010 as being the start of a new decade. So, here's a simple reminder. A decade is ten of something, not nine. When counting out a decade, it is proper to start with...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I'm sick to death of snobs!

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 1 Oct 09

I'm nowhere near as good as the following authors, but please note, I have one thing in common with all of them. They, like myself, have all been at one time self published! I'm so sick of snobs (mostly ignorant jerks from the...

Helen is the love of my life.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 25 Jun 09

About a year ago, we talked about the possibility of getting married, and she said that she couldn't handle the idea of marriage right at that time. Later on, I proposed, on her birthday, and still, while she loves me, and thinks...

Sorry, Tolkien purists, but I LIKE the movies!

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 17 Jun 09

I've always liked a good story, and I love J.R.R Tolkien's timeless tales. But, unlike many who critcize the movies for not being completely faithful to the books, I say, "So what if they're not entirely faithful?" Tolkien himself...

The best ice cream ever.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 14 Jun 09

Ever heard of The Stone cold Creamery? To me, they are the best ice cream parlor there is, hands down. I can't explain why, exactly, but I just love their ice cream.

The seagulls. Are we so different? .

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 14 Jun 09

"Mine mine mine mine mine!" ad nauseum. The seagulls cry in "Finding Nemo" is the cry for many in this country, and indeed, this world. Ours is a selfish society. My mom and I were discussing this today. Her own brothers, my...

Some friends surprise you.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 14 Jun 09

I have many "friends". But the most surprising thing happened the other day. You see, I have a home based business, and things have been going south. So, at one of the social networking sites I belong to (Facebook, but this is a...

One of my dreams is to go to Scotland.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 10 Jun 09

I love all things Scottish. I especially love all things Highlander. If I could, I'd wear the Great Kilt as daily wear. I'd order haggis in a can, if I could afford it. I'd have shortbread all of the time, if I could. I love the...

My apologies. It's not a stupid rule.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 10 Jun 09

Earlier, in my haste to express my frustrations about not being able to copy and paste, I posted a discussion entitled "Stupid Rule!!" In it, I vented about the rules about copying and pasting, but after having thought about it, I...

Stupid rule!

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 10 Jun 09

I'm not a spammer! I just thought that a certain discussion belongs in more than one area. Even though I don't have a score of 500, I should be able to put my discussion where it would do some good, and let myLot decide where it...

In a relationship? Of course, because we all are. Several different kinds.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 10 Jun 09

I'm not sure whether to post this in a discussion on Facebook, Myspace, or relationships, since it fits all three, so I'll cut and paste, place it in all three, and let myLot decide which ones to delete. I have a pet peeve, you...

In March I went to see Rain in Fort Wayne, and they were awesome!

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 9 Jun 09

I had seen them on PBS, and that's how I got meet&greet tickets to see them. When I saw them on PBS, the guy playing Paul was right handed, which was a bit odd, but they were still very good. When I saw them live, the guy who...

My life is falling apart, and I'm scared.

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 8 Jun 09

I'm forty-five years old, and I'm single. I'm living with my mom, who is eighty-two, so that I can take care of her. Last year, to supplement my income, I started a home business with Tastefully Simple. My dream, however, is to be...
