I write stories (for myself). Or at least I attempt to. Most of the time I'm sat staring at the screen and then I go off and play solitaire...

Nobody's happy all the time and everyone needs to feel that they're being listened to. You're not alone. We hear you.

Hi worthless_loser (nice name, btw). Just a couple of thoughts, if I may. First - it's not a race. Everyone ends up at the same finish line regardless of what we do with our lives .Whether we get married and have kids or not - whether we invent a cure of cancer or just turn up day after day at...

Hi and welcome to the forum. Also my sympathies on your loss. You're not alone. My parents both died within 4 months of each other (almost to the day weirdly enough). That happened 3 years ago and meant that the shape of my life changed dramatically. In fact, when I look at my life now and how...

I think the first series we see tends to be our favourite. As to the newer incarnations - have you had a chance to try Star Trek Discovery? It's on Netflix (not sure if it's anywhere else). After the... mess that was Enterprise, I was prepared to be bitterly disappointed. I wasn't. It's actually...

I DEFINITELY include H.P. Lovecraft in sci-fi/fantasy. And yep, 1984 as well. Haven't read the other works you mentioned. I might have to add them to my incredibly long list of things to read (never seems to get any shorter). I am a Star Trek fan (sorry) and still watch the original series...

If you're learning the violin, then I recommend you get yourself a copy of Kreutzer's Etudes. Yes, they're annoyingly difficult (practically impossible for a lot of them) but they DO help if you can stick with them. Glad you're finding the forum useful.

Wow - a lot of deep, intellectual stuff. Starting to feel really dumb here... I tend to read sci-fi/fantasy stuff for preference so... not so deep. Music wise - I have fairly broad tastes too although, for some reason, most of my music gets put down as alternative/indie. Not sure what that...

Not the piano but the violin (until I broke it recently unfortunately). My mother used to play piano though. She loved Beethoven's moonlight sonata. Things like that. I'm not sure she even attempted Rachmaninoff but then she was self-taught. I was playing Meditation from Thais by Massenet and...

No, it's fine. Nothing wrong with asking questions. Didn't mean to make you feel like you couldn't express yourself. Just trying to answer as best as I could. Sorry.

Hi and welcome I think recent circumstances have given a lot of people a chance to look at their lives. Of course, not everyone's actually doing that but... maybe it's a good thing that we're getting a chance to think about things in a new way. Or not. Just a thought. You said that you read...

Music

You're welcome. I took some pictures of it - meaning to show to the staff at my nearest music shop but the lockdown got here first so... I guess I'm waiting until it's all over. I wouldn't be playing anyway. I'm not alone so doesn't make any difference. Thanks for asking, though.

The thing with this is that there are some mechanical issues with men that women just don't have. If the equipment isn't willing, it doesn't matter what you do - it isn't going to happen. That can lead to problems if, when the woman's initiated and the man's body hasn't co-operated - he ends up...
