In context, the reference to color-coding of socks was to make light of anal retentive behavior. In retrospect, it was a nonsensical reference, in that socks already have different colors, and thus have no need for color-coding (unless one would want to color-code according to material or use, i.e. boot, athletic, dress and casual socks.)

For now, I think I have exhausted the subject matter of socks.

Ah Grasshopper, I see that you have at last discovered the meaning of socks.

I sometimes wonder where this fascination with virginity came about. Seems kind of unfair that women were given a hymen but men are not equipped with anything similar.

I look at death as the final adventure. And I try to be the best that I can be, which is not always good enough, just in case there is a hear after. And live my life to the fullest that I can, so that it wont be a total waste if there is nothing.

However I did stay at a Holiday Inn ounce, and I can say that it seems that there is life after death, at least at shift changes.

I look at death as falling into a deep sleep, very deep, and never waking up.

Which actually sounds pretty good, to tell the truth.

Not being argumentative but this is my overall point, if we aren't eternal in some way.

If I'm not going to "wake up," what was the point in ever being awake?

If "this" is all there is, it's pretty pointless and a cosmic joke.

I am sure that I will never have my TRUTH, but I now have questions that I never even thought of before my quest. And the best answer I can give is;

In the Beginning Man Created God in His Own Image....and saw that it was good.

Besides, what would I do with 72 virgins? One or two might be heaven !

My dear Bill ... one size of anything does not fit everyone. Whether it be religion, music, cars...etc. So perhaps the answer is... to pick and choose what makes us comfortable. The mysteries are many when it comes to religion. Faith is what determines our truths.

My astute and scholarly reply;

Hell if I know.

Oh, now Painter...There you go, thinking for yourself, rather than following the program set forth by the proponents of an American theocracy. Tsk, tsk, tsk......

Merry,

The foreskin may have been our hymen, but most of us had it cut off at birth.

Besides, if we had a hymen, it certainly would be gone before we were old enough for show and tell.

Besides, were men, and men need to know this stuff.

Really? It might be better for everyone if young men were taught by an older women, and young women by an older man. The majority of men make lousy lovers, at least that is what several women have told me.

Well, Dr. Blue, I concur with your analysis, but with the addendum that I don't really care.

I've enough fish to fry in this world without concerning myself about the second. I'll deal with it if and when I get there.
