Men are like Bluetooth indeed.

Unreliable connection over a distance?

Something like that.

I like red

I’ll probably go back to work today. Just because everyone is expecting me not to.

 

[AlpineFresco]

After all this time I’m still not 100% on how to pronounce ‘Byzantine’.

 

[JennyNo1]

I like red

Oh reeeeeaaally?

 

[AlpineFresco]

And exactly how many times does that come up in conversation?

You'd be surprised!

 

[Orchidea73]

If I had the energy, I'd look up the meaning of fluffer.

I did google that. Learned a new word. lol

Happy 245th Birthday, United States Marine Corps

Amen to that! My dad was a Marine...fought in Korea and earned a Bronze Star that I didn’t know about until after he died and we were cleaning out the house.

Impressive. People of that time tended to talk little about their service. To them, talking about it was akin to bragging about it, and that was just not done.

I'm sure you're proud of him and proud of his service.

I was...especially after finding the medal. He died in 2012 and my mom had passed the year before. As we cleaned out the house found a box way back in closet and the medal was in a little box at the bottom. I sat and cried like a baby...but you’re right. He was a quiet man to start but from that era it was just something they felt they had to do and just didn’t talk about it. Semper Fi!

Jealousy is the most childish, and yet most human, emotion.

Jealousy is the most childish, and yet most human, emotion.

Probably not what you had in mind. But it made me think of this:

"...the power of jealousy is one of the most important facts to be taken account of in the derivation of sexual morality. In a world where sexual prohibitions are of diminishing force, we should not be surprised that so many people take refuge from jealousy in the avoidance of love. For where love exists, the price of sexual freedom is suffering.”

My Dad was a Marine too. He hated talking about it. Other than some of the basics.

Based on my experience and observations, the people who tend to speak least about any given subject are the people who have personally experienced it. Be that war, living under a dictatorship etc. But this is especially true for the war veterans.

That's a little too intellectual for me, as an upjumped neaderthal only capable of thinking with his genitalia.

I call bullshit on this and you know it.

yeah. It definitely changed him. Made me wish I knew him before it.

Other than my dad saying he served and went to Korea, he never mentioned actual battle. When pressed he would just say I was in Korea. Didn’t think anything more of until finding that medal.

The Bronze Star Medal is a United States decoration awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces for either heroic achievement, heroic service, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service in a combat zone.

The Bronze Star is the 3rd highest medal awarded, below the Silver Star and the Medal of Honor. For being a painfully quiet man, my dad was evidently quite the badass...
