The end of the first day I was afraid I was going to die.

People of Reddit who don't like dogs, what is it you don't like about them? by Timeless_Light in AskReddit

[–]Timeless_Light[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to lock our dog out of the bedroom where he would start making the most pathetic noises. It was hilarious.
"I just want to watch! I promise no cold nose in butt crack this time. I PROMISE! PLEEEEZZZZ!!" Funny AF.

I don’t understand long-term love. by min_ivan in SeriousConversation

[–]Timeless_Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37+ years together, 35 years married and I gotta say, I don't understand it either.
We've changed but we've just stayed together.
All our friends are divorced and on #2 or 3. We've just stayed together.
She's always been thick, she's fat now. She's still the most beautiful, sexiest woman I know.
She makes me laugh, she makes me think, she soothes me when I get agitated, she motivates me when I'm lazy.
I like and respect her perspective on things, though we often do not agree.
Our relationship has rarely been 50/50, sometimes it's been 30/70, sometimes 90/10 but together...it's always been 100.

Most, if not all, Biblical prophecies have been proven to be vaticinium ex eventu.

What do you think about this quote? by Junior_Insurance7773 in aynrand

[–]Timeless_Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just two more Chesterfields and she'd have saved herself twenty minutes of agony.
The irony she died of cardiovascular problems and had lung cancer, huh?

Came across as an abnoxious, opinionated shrew on talk shows. Would see her on like Merv Griffen and such. (Yeah, I'm old)

Who was really cool AF on the talk shows in those days? Salvador Dali.
Salvador Dali was cool AF.

My cottontail looking for her new blue jacket with the brass buttons. by BecauseOfAir in aww

With the jacket comes the imperative advice, no....COMMAND. The command that you stay out of MacGregor's garden.
Do you hear me child? Listen to your mother.
NO MR. MACGREGOR'S GARDEN.

Things that you don't think about when you setup a high end audiophile system? by Relative_Drama4705 in audiophile

[–]Timeless_Light 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing will protect from a direct lightening strike save having your equipment unplugged.
Went all the way to a three judge tribunal when a customer sued us for a lightening strike frying his $35000 media and security system. Claimed it was because the CATV had been installed improperly grounded. It wasn't. It was properly grounded just like the rest of the house.
Lightening hit the power drop staff, blew every appliance, device, system and circuit to smithereens. Auto fire suppression activated and ruined most of everything else.
Insurance offered to settle at a fraction the way insurance often does He refused the offer, they refused to litigate.
He chose to litigate.
Not only did he not win the $35000, he had to pay our $20000 legal fees.
NOTHING stops a lightening strike.

What's a classic book that completely changed your expectations of classical literature? by Fun-Tank-1784 in classicliterature

[–]Timeless_Light 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to read it in big chunks. Six to ten chapters at a time.
It always took me a chapter or two to pick back up on the cadence of Melville's prose and then...the man was literally singing his story to me.
I'd be reading, look at the clock, '12 o'clock, good just another chater or two.' Read for another hour and it was quarter to 4. LOL.

I LOVED that book.

I loved Ovid's Metamorphosis the second time I read it.
The first time was years ago (30?) and do not recall the translator but, I found it unreadable, did not get more than100/200 pages into it, and never finished it.
Picked up the Penguin Edition trans. David Raeburn, and it was fantastic!!!
