    Chocolate poll.

    Chocolate isn't actually my favorite candy. But it is the candy that I can eat the most of. Make mine 80% cacao. Lindt brand works for me, but there some mighty delicious handmade brands too. (I actually like licorice and spice drops best but spice drops are sugary and one must be careful of...

    Bandaid for a bad day

    No! I haven't opened them. I don't know when I will. Dang, I was trying to upload a photo of one of my favorite capsule toys but my internet it too slow.

    Bandaid for a bad day

    This is silly but I love Kinder Suprise eggs. Not for the chocolate but because the toys can be really cool and innovate for being crammed into a x1.5"capsule. Lately, I have really been struggling with anxiety and fear/ frustration over political antics. While no toy can fix that, I was...

    Seeking your input. Would you work 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, for 45 days straight at high pay?

    I worked 60 hours a week for years. But, I had little needs I couldn't take care of. But with a dog, aquarium and separate rent and other expenses, you will double your off work needs too. Do you have reliable support of your pets? If it was just about hours worked, I would do it. But the...

    Shoelaces

    Shoe laces, combination locks, analog watches (especially when someone else wants the time) these are a few of my most hated things! I abandoned shoes with laces long ago. I do, indeed, know how to tie my shoes but, at 57, I don't own any shoes that lace. I am an adult and I am free to make...

    A rough realization I had today, would love any thoughts you might have

    Honestly, I think most people think of themselves first. That is why your friend only remembers certain things: he only remembers what he finds interesting. For this same reason people forget the very thing that interests you the most. I don't mean everyone is a narcissist. They are actually...

    Does this annoy you too?

    I did not know I may be autistic until I was in my 50s. But I am 57 now and claim the well earned title "cranky old crone". This entitles me to simply go about unmasked and live out my true self. 😄

    Worried about my dog and idiots

    I am so sorry to hear that your dog is in pain. Our dog Tigger died two years ago and I miss him deeply still. Cherish the time that you have together. When your sweet doggie is in too much pain to be in the world, let him go graciously and remember that all the pain you feel just means you...

    Does this annoy you too?

    I am polite but I tell everyone "I am pleased to meet you but I prefer not to shake hands." Most people are startled, some genuinely pleased, but every once in a while there will be a jerk who wants to force it on me. I step back and put my hands behind me. Yes, that person will be offended...

    Does this annoy you too?

    It is a very American greeting. Particularly western U.S. It is more a habit and reflex than seeking of knowledge. I sounds friendlier than "Hello" alone. Ps..I hate shaking hands with every fiber of my being.

    Do you speak in a monotone voice?

    I don't speak in a monotone. Sometimes though I am asked "What country are you from?" So I must have some odd bits. You might pick it up in my forum writings, as sometimes I say things in an odd order. Mostly though, I am loud. I naturally project my voice.

    Hi together

    You will love him! He does awesome experiments with guitars made of odd materials and playing them in odd circumstances, like under water.

    Hi together

    Welcome! I read "Germany" and "music" and I instantly thought of the guitarist Bernth. He is one of my favorite musicians.

    Hi from Canberra Australia

    Welcome ! I have been to Australia. It is a fabulous country. I hope to return one day. Advice you have not asked for: talk to your doctor now about hormone replacement. You may not want it but get informed before your hormones crash. My experience with hormone crash was so severe I am...
