Feeling out of sorts days, when Murphy & his bloody law won't give it a rest. Today, my alarm didn't wake me cuz I accidentally kicked out the power cord in the dark in the witching hours & woke up at 1pm, not 7am. My phone wasn't working, neither was either laptop... reboots & nonsense all around... then all 3 quickly…

I completely get it. When I had a Nordic Track, I used to listen to a Madonna album. Not because I like her music, but if I skied at breakneck speed for 15-min, I could miss the 4th song which was that horrible "Material Girl" tune. It's almost impossible for me to work or walk out of step to whatever I'm listening to,…

I agree with @ReenieHJ Firstly, @jadu1536 I admire your desire to reach out. I'm single & still feeling Covid-shy, so I've yet to venture out for more than necessary shopping. A few dates isn't very much time to determine long-term prospects, at least in my opinion. When guys want to move too fast, it makes me back off…

Love that movie. I love Tony Scott films... that gritty, disjointed cinematography... & just found out that there's a previous 1987 version, too. I'm going to watch that one soon.

I didn't consider it a magical statement, just amusing... but with that logic, does Google takes the magic out of your world?

Ah, you're the one...

Ouch! This month, I drove cross country twice. Some days, the cost to fill up multiple times equaled the cost of the hotel at the end of day.

It's 2am & I'm tired, but... just ate dinner, taking a shower, going to watch a movie while unpacking... I just moved cross country into a new apt. My goal for the week is to get back to a normal day schedule.

Well, a kinda purchase... I just paid my rent online. Tomorrow... paying the utility bills. Livin' the dream.

HYYY... You're good enough. You're smart enough. And, doggone it, people like you. We need more of that in our world, all around, online & off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVA-Bx4rNc0&t=29s

I recall when my angry 10th grade teacher said to someone in class... "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant". Still don't know if it's a quote from a book, comedy or something he made up, but for some reason, it amuses me, so I've…

I regret turning down a design job that was offered to me at 23. It's all I ever wanted to do, but I'd just graduated from a school where I was trained in a male dominated field I didn't enjoy, placed in toxic work environments & I didn't last but a few yrs. I've struggled with career choices ever since. I also wished I'd…

Going back to the mid-late 70s, so many, but every time I used to hear that awful "Video Killed the Radio Star" song by The Bugles, I'd dive at the dial to turn it off. The lyrics & message are fine, but the music makes me want to scream. The video is also terrible, but, for the youngens, they're forgiven since it was the…

I've been away from the site for 1-yr. I'm not so much irked as a bit disappointed to see so few of those I interacted with for years still onsite. Would be nice to see some of the old guard return again.

Anything with reps bores me, cuz repetition in anything in life bores me. I like doing fun activities that don't feel like exercise... walking, hiking, swimming, tossing/hitting/kicking any kind of ball. The latter ones are tough, since I'm also not competitive in sports & would prefer to just hit a ball back & forth,…

Passive aggressiveness. But, that irks me everyday. It shows weakness of character.

“Neither look forward where there is doubt nor backward where there is regret. Look inward and ask not if there is anything outside you want, but whether there is anything inside that you have not yet unpacked.” - Quentin Crisp

Didn't know it was against the rules, but schools of thought would be an acceptable word replacement, no?

I'd say yes & no, since I believe that we're not all necessarily from the same place or going to the same place after this life. Some religions believe that this life is it & nothing happens after death (Jewish)... others believe we return over & over (Hindu)... others believe we go to heaven, h*ll or somewhere in-between…

I'd say craving... or, you live on top of a bakery. I'll gladly trade your olfactory hallucination for my usual... cig smoke or chemicals. Since I don't live next to a Dow chemical plant & have never smoked... I read that it can be blocked sinuses that a Neti pot can help clear or a mineral deficiency. Bet those little…

Disrespect, in any form. I recently watched an interview with a few former FBI/military interrogators, CSIs & detectives. Several also had counseling degrees or PhDs. They said when watching 2 people interact, they knew which relationships were doomed/dangerous, if one partner/counterpart sneered (showed contempt) when the…

Just finished watching 10 different video versions of the Chris Rock slap heard 'round the world, so now onto an Israeli, gruesome, dark comedy, Big Bad Wolves with my future husband, Lior Ashkenazi. It's not for the faint of heart, but... < slight spoiler alert, although the trailer reveals more > ... if you know the…

I've become obsessed with this song lately, Beggin', in it's several incarnations. Don't know how I found it... I think in a movie. Not my usual punk/grunge selection, but I'm expanding horizons... Italian-based band, Maneskin... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdkt3I5-FG4 Frankie Valli...…

* Spending too much time looking for a movie that interests me... I've watched 10-min of 5-6 so far & none hold my interest. Guess I'll have to return to an oldie but goodie to watch again... maybe an Icelandic series (Trapped was excellent, although I've seen it 3 times already) or an Israeli flick (love Lior Ashkenazi,…

TY, kindly. Well, faster is 18-mos... full recovery is 24. I'm entering month 3... gonna be a long haul. It's painful, but I seem to be moving ahead sans major healing issues. TY, kindly... hope you're all healed. Compression is painful (I can't even wear certain clothing... coat, bra, shirts with too much stretch, as…

Recovering from 10 broken bones & will be unable to work for a couple of months. To prevent myself from focusing on pain (I'm currently up at 3:30am in pain, so I guess it can't be helped at times), I'm wondering on what to learn in my recovery time... advanced MS Office, computer language, management skills? I don't have…

Still wide awake at 3am for some reason... so much so that I'm contemplating making espresso & finding a good flick or 2 to watch. Must be that I put a large meatloaf with potatoes & veggies in a crockpot & although it's not done, I can smell it cooking & I'm just starving. :smile: Can't wait for a meatloaf breakfast.

I've been onsite before & just returned after being away for a year... but, I have been around for a long time. I'm glad it's gone mainly due to the many people who complained about being disagreed with daily. It was tiring reading all their comments... some seemed to take serious offense. And, yeah, some were surely…
