    My friend is a vegetarian

    My story was a parable. duh figure it out. or not. Be nice or fresia you. I don't know if the story about a vegetarian was true or not but it was not funny, either way.

    Just joined......58 years old, married, breast cancer survivor and never felt more alone in my entire life.

    I'd be out of here so fast the leaves would blow off the trees if I had a way. I get social security, total $800/mo. VA takes $50 for medication bills. Now I'm going to have to loose another $170 for medicaid I don't want. The rest pays a car note until it's paid off next year, a car I got...

    My friend is a vegetarian

    Back in the day when the big war was on a couple of GI's in India hired on a boy to do their cleaning, cooking, etc.. The GIs were mean to the kid, shouting at him, pushing him a round, calling him nasty names. He kept working because he needed the tiny pay they gave him. One day the GI's got...

    Hopeless romantic

    Hopeless romantic, I think, usually means someone who can't help but feel romantic. To me, hopeless romantic is being romantic in a hopelessly unromantic life. :/

    Do you forget people easily?

    I would forget myself if I didn't see myself in the mirror every morning. I forget a lot and names I can almost never remember. But then I've always lived in a fog of forgetfulness. There are whole years of my life I can't remember and I don't remember much of my kids being young. That...

    Just joined......58 years old, married, breast cancer survivor and never felt more alone in my entire life.

    I can totally relate to that. I went through three and a half months of hell a couple years ago, almost died in a hospital (it was their fault) and my wife was there. Now I'm two years out and doing extremely well she's back to living her job again and crashing in the recliner when she gets...

    I am an oddball, but what's this thing about 'cheating?'

    It sounds like you've been hurt, maybe. I found adhering to any strict rule is just a setup for screwing up or getting hurt worse than you would. Every situation is different. There should be no hard and fast rules. Yes, though, I understand you and no doubt you think I'm a louse for...

    I am an oddball, but what's this thing about 'cheating?'

    My wife has not wanted to do anything since she went through menopause but I don't think it has anything to do with displeasure. There are ways around that and we've used them in the past. I think it's because she finally cannot and will never have a kid and I'm sterile so that's that. She...

    No one deserves the pain of being unwanted either. Whatever rules you want to live by is fine for you. Not me.

    I am an oddball, but what's this thing about 'cheating?'

    I have not come out and said "I'm going to have sex with someone" but I've walked around it a long time and in a lot of ways, saying so much as I need a woman, going to get one, etc... All I get is a "Yeah, right." No anger or anything. I wish she would get angry, it would mean I meant something.

    what do you

    Being so alone and feeling so lonely in this crappy house and this horrible town.

    I am an oddball, but what's this thing about 'cheating?'

    I would be shocked that she did that, knowing her, but no, it would not bother me. And I would explore polyamory if my wife would but she's not even affectionate with me and never looks at another guy. I've asked her and even suggested it. No go. Rules are made to be broken. I do not live...

    List of what state everyone is from...

    Texas! Not everybody here is a right-wing nutcase, just too many to shut up.

    I absolutely adore New Mexico, especially up north, Taos, Red River, all those places.

    I am an oddball, but what's this thing about 'cheating?'

    I hear that word so often I want to rip it from the dictionary. "don't cheat. I hate a cheater. Cheating is cruel. Cheating is sinful." And people make nasty judgments if someone "cheats." I think the whole idea is stupid. To ask someone not to make friends, even close friends, with...

    What are some ways

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm so much better now. Technically I'm "severely disabled" by idiotic diagnoses of idiotic doctors but I got past everything and feel a lot younger than my age. Now I wish I had a sandbox to play in. hahaha

    What are the things that infuriate you the most from society?

    It may sound self-righteous, rude and haughty but the stupidity of humankind drives me nuts. People follow like lemmings without any attempt to figure out if it's a right or good path. The second thing, maybe the most important thing, is cowardice. My entire life has been screwed over by...

    would you want to?

    I'm kind'a stuck here at the moment. I don't make enough to leave. I would be out of here in a heartbeat if I could be. Maybe someday I'll sell my books or find some way to make money and get the hell out of here.

    What are some ways

    Two years ago I walked into a hospital to get a covid test and somebody did something awful and I wound up there for three and a half months of pure hell. All that happened from the time I got there to a month and a half later is wiped from my memory because of drugs they gave me. I almost...
