    Does TV and film influence our expectations of relationships?

    Well I never turn on my TV unless I've got video on my iPhone I want to watch on it. At this point in my life I don't expect to magically stumble onto the love of my life, and I am quite sure that I'll spend the rest of my life single, and not have another relationship. Hollywood comes up with...

    Things are better these days

    I'm not sure, I always assumed it was the whole state, and I used to like that song, until I'd lived there. Don't care for it now.

    Things are better these days

    I'm so glad you got out of that, I was born in Michigan and spent 14 months there before going to Alabama. It was horrible! No jobs at all unless you consented to be treated like a turd and paid too little to live on. Detroit is a total pit these days, and shrinking into nothing. Michigan was...

    Things are better these days

    What caused me to move out of Alabama???? Good God! I was being kept a slave on a horse ranch where they had disabled my truck, to keep me there, then cut my pay to just enough to eat on, and treated me like a total slave every day! You can have no idea of the mental and emotional cruelty that...

    Things are better these days

    This morning as I was driving to take Doug’s things to him at the rest home I suddenly appreciated all that I have in my new life here. The car I was driving, the place I am living in, the job that I have, the new iPhone in my pocket playing the music I was listening to, all of it. I remembered...

    Interview Anxiety

    How well I know the interview anxiety thing! I feel for you guy! I spent months looking for work, and even getting an interview was a very rare thing. When I did they would ask me questions like "What are you passionate about?" Huh??? They would sometimes ask me to provide an example of how I'd...

    does tv make you feel worse?

    Sometimes things do end happily, and the bad people do get what's coming to them. I've seen that happen several times in my life, and even have video of the F5 tornado approaching that hit the last bad people in my life and destroyed everything they owned not long after I escaped from them.

    does tv make you feel worse?

    I have a TV, but I never watch it anymore. I have 6 terabytes of video on my disks, all my favorite shows, all the seasons and episodes, over 1100 movies, hundreds of documentaries, and no commercials. I cut the cable long ago and have never regretted it. Most often I watch history and science...

    The Evil That is Facebook

    I've stopped even going to my Facebunk page. There was just nothing in it for me at all, and all those "friends" on there never seemed to have any interest in interacting with me after friending me on there. Why they wanted to be my "friend" on Facebunk is a mystery to me, and so is the...

    Anybody else bad at making friends?

    I can totally relate Travis, I'm in the same boat, and nothing seems to help. At one point I considered pretending to be an alcoholic or addict and joining AA or NA to meet people, it was that bad. Where I live there are very few places where people meet and mix, those being for the most part...

    How can I distance myself from my mother for a more harmonious home life?

    I have to agree with Lonely in BC. I had the same problem with my mother many years ago, and the only way to deal with her was to completely disconnect. She was not going to ever change, and I'm sure your mother will not either. I feel sorry for you not being able to afford to move out, I was...

    The one way conversation

    It's not just their problems that people go on about, and in fact that's something I don't so much mind as I know how much I need to talk to someone from time to time about my own problems. What so irks me is when others dominate the conversation with talking themselves up and boasting about...

    I wish I was handsome.

    Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett, whom most regard as a very homely man, if not outright ugly. She saw something in him beyond his looks, and if you listen to the absolutely fearless boogie he and Ray Charles put out you will know what that is. It's more a matter of what you are putting out...

    How to cheer yourself up

    When I'm really down I sometimes take a really hot shower, then wash my hair several times, then condition the hell out of it. Does it work? Well, no... but I'm clean.

    The one way conversation

    Thank you folks for your responses to the thread, and I guess it's not just me this happens to, but a very broad social illness going on everywhere. I might have known. How so many people become this way I can't say, but there's a lot of them out there and they seem to be just everywhere. I...

    The one way conversation

    I've been running into this for many years, and it seems the only form of social interaction available to me anymore. I'm at a social occasion, a public place, and run into someone I know casually, who starts out the conversation with, "So hey girl, how are you doing? What's going on in your...
