    It is okay, @Richard Whiting ; Dwight Ward is often sarcastic with his humor, so if he writes something strange, do not take it literally. We are a mixed bunch here, and you will have to get used to the various sense of humor that many of us have.
    Dwight is a great person who loves animals and flowers and believes that he is Harrison Ford……

    Thats the lie the fems told us. But there is a way to fight back just not when they are awake. They got to go to sleep sometime.

    Richard, I spoof a lot on this site at ridiculous things. I don't really believe I'm Harrison Ford. I'm much better looking. Welcome to SeniorsOnly.

    Much of the time, they are digging these graves in the middle of a forest. I own some woodlands, and I have a hard time getting a stake in the ground, sometimes.

    The important thing is that I believe you are. That is the mainstay of the SENIORSonly Club's advertising campaign, that Harrison Ford is an active member. Please don't let it get around that this isn't true.

    I'm watching an action movie - Last Man Down. The male and female protagonists are in a tunnel, and, apart from several other unrealistic feats of human endurance, they just shot about thirty people who were coming after them when, in a lull of activity, the guy announces that he's out (of ammo), completely ignoring the fact that each of these thirty people was carrying weapons and, undoubtedly, ammunition. That wasn't the first time he'd done this either. He runs out of ammo so, instead of picking up a gun from the field of bodies all around him, he resorts to using a knife or his fists.

    Maybe the guy is on crack, or the writer who wrote the script ?

    Most action movies are pretty unrealistic; I try not to get too worked up about it. What bothers me most is when I see serious science fiction make stupid science fiction mistakes. I actually noticed that Star Wars blooper when I saw it in the theater about his ship making the run in so many parsecs, as if it was a measure of velocity rather than a measure of distance.

    We just finished watching Stargate Universe which involved both faster than light travel and wormhole “travel”. It really irked me that not once did they make an attempt to deal with the time dilation issues that should have FUBAR’d much of the storyline. Aside from that, it was a pretty well done show. I guess, honestly, what irks me is that they didn’t present any interesting ideas to address it. I’ve learned about a lot of things through science fiction, zero point energy, the Bussard ram jet, the theoretical Alcubierre drive, etc.

    I just finished a Netflix series where a family is being harassed by someone constantly watching them all the time.

    BUT, do they close their curtains, especially at night? Of course not. Bedroom curtains, living room curtains, French door curtains....open all the time.

    I don't know much about worm holes and time travel, but I do enjoy this little kids series on PBS. It's the cute characters and artwork I enjoy. It shows if you use the right software to do the art you have a cute little show for young kids, and old kids.
