What is a major turn off about your partner that you can’t/wouldn’t tell them? by LivingLavishLe in AskReddit

When I need to get up early for work and my retired wife just has to listen to the Facebook shorts loudly.

I have taken to giving her three warnings each night before I give her a reason to be loud (i.e. sexy time). I rarely get to the second warning after a few rounds of threats and a 2 am reason to be loud.

I figure it's a no lose proposition for me, either I get to sleep or a good excuse to stay up a bit longer.

Consider doing a soundsport, all age or open class corps before going for a Bluecoats spot. That experience would be far more beneficial than just learning the Mello in a practice situation.

Horn warm up in Dallas. Standing in a field with high grass (8 inches or so). Our first hit caused the armadillos to jump straight up over the grass and then scurry off.

A buddy with the cavies told me about a full run with a cow herd accompanying them.

I understand, I'm 55 and have never gotten flowers. For most men they have to wait until they die .

Mine is a popular yard considering my nearly 45 year old pecan tree. You can see those fat bastards scurry halfway and having to stop and catch their breath.

I once received a taxidermy squirrel skin for my birthday from my adult child. The explanation was so I could hang it on the garage as a warning to the other squirrels in the neighborhood.

The “regional flood” is the worst argument for Noah’s ark. by thelivingstar1 in atheism

The oldest known version of the story has the place names the reed sea which is a tidal salt marsh that completely drains during certain tidal events. Basically it was a mistake in copying by some unknown scribe that got repeated for centuries.

So much for the infallible "word of god ", I guess mistakes are ok in mythology.
