WDP — Practicing Religion

Do you practice religion?

Kyle was an atheist but his girlfriend, Tina, was pressuring him to find his spirituality. “I’m not saying that you need to embrace and practice a particular religion, but I’d like you to get in touch with your spiritual side.”

“Tina,” Kyle said, “how mant times do we have to have this discussion? I don’t have a spiritual side. I don’t believe that there is a higher being, I’m not searching for deep and profound answers to the purpose or meaning of life. I believe in living life to the fullest because this is the only life there is.”

“But haven’t you ever experienced a moment in your life when you’ve felt connected to something bigger than yourself,” Tina asked.

“When I’m with you, I feel that way,” Kyle said. “I feel that together we are greater than we are when we are apart. You are my higher purpose, you bring meaning to my life. I don’t need God to feel love. Can’t we just be with one another and be happy with that?”

“I love you, Kyle, and I love how you feel that I complete you,” Tina said, “but I think we could have something even deeper, even more meaningful if we could explore and awaken your spiritual self.”

“Tina,” Kyle said, “I am who I am. What you see is what you get. There is no wellspring of spirituality buried deep within me.”

“Kyle, don’t be angry with me, but I’ve made an appointment for us to go see a spiritualist,” Tina said. “Please say you’ll go.”

Kyle sighed. “You want us to sit across from some old woman dressed in flowing silk scarves, sitting in front of some ancient holy book with a crystal ball emitting blue light and with little flickering, fairy lights at the windows?”

Tina took in a breath. “Kyle, my darling, you have second sight. How could you possibly have known that?”

“It’s nothing supernatural, Tina,” Kyle said. “The woman, your so-called “spiritualist” is, I’m ashamed to say, my mother and she is a fraud who will tell you what you want to hear and take you for all you’re worth.”

What Kind of Names Are These

Fandango25 Comments

It used to be that most of my spammers had real-sounding names. But over the past three or four weeks, here are the names that are being used by spammers:

bokep pepek
tetek padat
memek crot
Ngentot Berdiri
Link Bokep
Memek Basah
Bokep Terbaru
Jilat Memek
link bokep luar
bokep hentai
Slot Gacor
bethand
bokep semok
link memek cerah
kozmovital.com
eczanemvben.com
Bokep Enak
kotol pepek
kontol memek
Pepek Basah
bokep memek pink
Bokep Naruto
Kontol Pepek
memek baik
Asif Baloch
memek jahat
Ngentot Cibay
memek enak
Memek Kasihan
pepek mengkilat

Are these aliens from another planet? Pepek, Memek, Bokep, and combinations thereof. It looks like they use seven or eight letter — three or four vowels and four consonants — and randomly put them together with vowels separated by consonants.

Well, with these strange names, it’s a lot quicker to go through my spam folder and delete the comments.

Weird, though, isn’t it? Is anyone else seeing these names in their spam folders?

Reblog: For Those Needing Anti-Trump Fodder

I’m reblogging this post from Annie over at Annie Asks You. I encourage you to read it, especially if you’re an American voter and still haven’t made up your mind about who to vote for in the upcoming general election. Watch these brief videos and think about what you’re listening to before making your biting decision.

Thanks, Annie, for pulling these together.

On this day that reminds us of the sacrifices so many Americans have made to protect our country, I think it’s important to consider how seriously …

Truthful Tuesday — Summertime

Fandango12 Comments

Frank, aka PCGuyIV, is back with another episode of Truthful Tuesday. The idea behind Truthful Tuesday is for us to respond to the question (or questions) Frank asks and to be 100% truthful in our responses. No glib answers, no funny business, no fibs. Just raw honesty.

For this week’s Truthful Tuesday, Frank wants to know…

Here in the U.S., yesterday was Memorial Day, which often serves as the start of summer activities. As such, it’s also a time many people start going on vacation. Do you have any plans for this summer, or are you playing it by ear this year?

We have tentative plans to go to Disneyland with our son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids at the end of September, which is, technically speaking, autumn, not summer. I say “tentative” because we are still trying to find a pet sitter who will come and stay at our place for a week to take care of our dog.

We’ve never boarded her at a kennel and have no intention of doing so. Our daughter can come over and take care of our dog for three days, but has plans for the rest of the week. If we can’t find anyone suitable, I may stay home.

As for the rest of the summer, we’ll probably be taking some day trips or maybe even a weekender, but nothing definitive at this point. So I guess that means we’ll be playing it ear this year.

Fandango’s Story Starter #151

Fandango8 Comments

It’s time for my weekly Story Starter prompt. Here’s how it works. Every Tuesday morning (my time), I’m going to give you a “teaser” sentence or sentence fragment and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a story (prose or poetry) around that sentence/fragment. It doesn’t have to be the first sentence in your story, and you don’t even have to use it in your post at all if you don’t want to. The purpose of the teaser is simply to spark your imagination and to get your storytelling juices flowing.

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

Life wasn’t great at all for Walter. In fact, it wasn’t even mildly good.

If you care to write and post a story built from this teaser, be sure to link back to this post and tag your post with #FSS. I would also encourage you to read and enjoy what your fellow bloggers do with their stories.

And most of all, have fun.
