    What is your opinion on this?

    Alone being that of choice and the experience of loneliness can be either from the result of that choice, desiring to be alone, or from an inwardly feeling of loneliness even when being in the presence of a crowd of people. When I was younger the feeling of loneliness did get to me often. As I...

    Dating app woes.

    From the sound of it, I think I may have an idea as to what app or site you are talking about and yeah it is ridiculous and it is set up to be that way for a reason. Dating apps and sites are a waste of time, energy and money. Just as social media has watered down the chances of people desiring...

    social media

    I left Facebook on April 15th of 2021 and I will never return back to there. Throughout the years being on Facebook many so called "friends" totally blew me off me through messenger, wasn't included with get-togethers and planned events and that was the place where I lost pretty much all of my...

    Installing Linux

    There is also balenaEtcher but I used Rufus. I left Windows on September 1, 2021, and haven't looked back. I was on Windows 7 before the move. For the most part I am comfortable with Linux, with some sadness in that I miss certain tools that are a must for what I do and there are no Linux...

    social situations

    I do but the reasons are different now than they were when I was younger. For me it is best not to get into them in the first place.

    do you ever

    Every day of my life. So many things that are out of my control yet some of those things try to have control over me and that causes friction. I have come to terms with a good amount of it but there isn't a complete reprieve from whatever chaos may come to the front of the line. I can only...

    Does anyone else feel this way?

    The recycled template of life, as I call it. In my earlier years those very things that are expected of everyone used to cause me much grief. Pushing to get a hold of those things can make someone crash and burn. After hitting 40, none of those things get to me anymore. I have known some who...

    Does anyone else feel this way?

    I still have those feelings from time-to-time. If you are expecting on getting happiness from others it will be a constant disappointment. I have realized that the only way for me to be any kind of happy is by doing certain things that I am good at and if I have to be by myself to do those...

    friends or no friends?

    I have been back and forth for a long time with this one. I have a few friends left and yet at times I wish that I didn't. My feelings about this has extended further after these last two years. I lost almost all of my so called friends. Many friends going as far back as Kindergarten. The ones I...

    Lack of tolerance on other forums...?

    About a little over 20 or so years ago I was on a forum for mental health but I wasn't on there for that long. Didn't really participate much on it. I don't remember much of it; only that the forum looked very plain Jane for a site, back in the day. There were other discussions besides mental...

    Your personal identification information is no longer considered trustworthy

    Information is sold and resold. Nothing is sacred anymore. Once currency become fully digitized we will all be screwed. I think my generation was the last generation to be around for the time when computers were used for spreadsheets, making banners in junior high, what we called them before...

    Anyone play guitar?

    Looks like I made my decision. I bought a Cordoba C3M today.

    Anyone play guitar?

    Thanks, RG. Yeah it is going to be a lot. I'm very curious to see where this all goes. Are you in a band or are you solo? Keith is a great finger style player too.

    Anyone play guitar?

    I would have 7 guitars in storage but I gave up one to someone, many years ago. It was a Peavey T-60 Starburst but it was modified, whole body was painted black. It had so many issues with it but I had a fondness with it. I even gave it the name "Agatha", lol. If you get interested there are...

    Anyone play guitar?

    Recently I have stepped back into playing after 25/30 years. When I was a kid I started on a small acoustic guitar. I don't recall what brand it was but it was a cheapie. Fret buzz and some of the upper frets sounded the same. This was around 1982. On my 9th birthday, in 1983, I received my very...

    Hi Everyone

    Thanks, StarDust I know those times with thinking that I might have left something important out that should have been said, by taking the short and sweet route. I like short and sweet. Now I wish that I could do this with my writings and postings, HA! Congratulations on your 10 years. My...

    Do you get on with your neighbours?

    Some neighbors you just can't please. She should have been glad that someone is picking up around the place. If she isn't able to do it herself then she should be thankful for that. A few blocks away from where I live there is a lady who rakes, shovels, cuts bushes and tidies up all around her...

    I'am back and still lonely

    Welcome back. There's nothing like a good workout. Just recently returned to the gym after a long membership freeze. The owner was really nice to grant me that. Doing both gym and at home or outside wherever I can. Shop around for the equipment. I remember when the gyms closed and I started...
