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...

I've written about what I'm going to write about already, somewhere here. I forget. But today I need to vent. I've been married for 44 years. We've been up and down but almost always got along. She's always been the star in my sky. But over a decade ago she just quit being affectionate...

Days are pretty quiet and empty. Nobody to talk to and only chats I find are scammers. I'm a real person looking for a real person in Texas or nearby. I have a website where anyone can find out a lot about me. No demands or expectations, just a friend to talk to and share thoughts and lives.

I live in Lufkin, hobbling around the house, piddling with electronic stuff. It's a hobby, I don't know much about it yet. Re-learning what I used to know. So, hi.

There's something in the American psyche that everyone should be HAPPY! Yeah, baby, I want happiness! Seriously? Happiness comes in moments, little blips of time in our lives, when things come together for us on occasion. It's impossible to maintain "happiness" continuously. Some of us find...

Frank Sinatra is playing, "Gone With The Wind..." Apropos... This is one of those early fall days when a cool front is sweeping through the trees and it's tolerable to be out here in the shop. But fall always fucks me up. Sometimes I just have to sit down and write to keep from, you know...

I've been on Gabapentin for close to two years, forget exactly. I'm curious if anybody else here takes it. I ask because with the bottles I get warnings about loneliness, depression, suicidal thoughts, big red warnings to call the doctor if I have them. They came standard with me long before...

Blue October. I love those guys! They so speak to me! ...ok, as my wife says sometimes... TMI... Great song! Check out the lyrics http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blueoctober/hateme.html

From a rock song. OK, third try. Deleted two long-winded comments. It's the writer in me. So, if you're here to beat the monster called loneliness, why are you hiding? Why not reveal enough about yourself, age, location on the planet, gender, so that others can have an idea whom they are...

I keep slipping back. Anybody know where I can get some better wall climbing boots?

It appears that the vast majority of people on this forum are young. That could be because my age group is not quite as net savvy and my parents' generation are still confused. Or it could be that our messed up world generates more lonely people. It's hard to tell because most people don't...

Oh, the trees are ok. People are more courteous than they are down in Houston. Even so, when one is a bohemian, atheist (you gasp!), Buddhist (sort'of) it is an endless landscape of rejection. I refuse to play the games or "go along" just to try to "fit in." To do that would be to lie about...
