Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

OK, I see where it comes from now, but I still don't understand why anybody would have even started referring women as stallions.
Well, I guess it sounds better than calling them mares. Although a lively, high-spirited young woman is sometimes colloquially called a filly.
 
Calling the mares would at least make more sense to me.:shrug: But I acknowledge that I tend to be very literal when it comes to this kind of thing, and it really bugs me when people misuse words or use them in weird ways like that.

English might not be the language for you then, my friend.

You're probably right. :lol: Things like read, read, and there, their, they're really bugging. It's taken me a good chunk of my life to finally understand when to use which their/there/
 
I think I read that right. :crazy:

Why is it that out of all of the animals to have ever existed on Earth, we're the only ones who have evolved to the point we're at? With cities and clothes and advanced technology, and things like that.
Why don't we share the planet with fish people, or bird people, or dog people, ect.?

Because we're sentient, and they're not. :shrug:
 
I disagree on the sentience thing, but my point is why is it just us? What was so special about us when we were just another species of monkeys in trees that we were able to get from there to where we are now, and nobody else was?
 
I read this while I was working out on my bike:
"The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons really makes me question this whole healthy eating and exercise thing".
Well, everyone knows that Keith Richards has his entire blood volume changed once a year at a secret Swiss clinic! Or did he have his blood replaced just one time to cure his heroin addiction? :rolleyes:
 
Package was delivered by UPS and when I got home there was nothing at the front door. Fortunately, I've never had anything stolen (yet) but they've delivered it to the wrong address on more than one occasion. However, it turns out there was a handoff to the post office and they delivered it, so it was in the mailbox.

So I hopped off the bike and went in search of a brownie.
(Just kidding - still diabetic)

George Burns made it to 100 and all he ever did was smoke cigars.
 
I still tested positive for Covid today, but it's mostly a cough and sore throat. I called up my Insurance/Doctor and got another perscription designed with the sore throat in mind and also a Cloraseptic spray for it. He said it really is about managing the cough now because I've been sleeping better and I don't have a fever. Actually the one thing this Covid has brought more than the last time is I've been sweating a lot. It's probably just how hot it is in the Area (It's been in the 80s, 90s lately) but even just standing around or right after I get out of the shower I start perspiaring and water is coming down the elbow. Doesn't happen all the time, but I'm not one who sweats that much. I also haven't had dripping soaked nights other than like Tuesday/Wednesday.

Hopefully some of this helps and I have a week and 3 days. Selfishly, this sucks because I really wanted to see Twisters this weekend and it might leave Imax screens next weekend for Wolverine and Deadpool.
 
You know, if the Romulans REALLY wanted to undermine Humanity's peacemaking efforts during ENT, all they had to do was show their faces. Terra Prime would likely gain a lot more momentum if that kind of bombshell dropped.
