I have absolutely bought games and played them for less than 2 hours and never played them again. I’m a lot more discriminating now, but as recently as last month I bought a game because I thought I would like it. I played a couple of times but can’t get into it. I would love to have a new, fun MMO to play but there are so many that look interesting and then… bleh.

I read Goth Clown immediately. I had to read it three times too read it correctly. I’m not dyslexic.

The ICQ uh-oh is my text alert message. Has been for years. No one recognizes it anymore.

I only use it to play games with 4 other people regularly and another 2-3 people sporadically. When it becomes a pain to use, well move on just like we did with AOL Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Team Speak, and however many others we’ve used in the past. Something else will come along. It works great for now, but we aren’t loyal to it. We’re loyal to playing online with each other. I would honestly pay $5 a month for a decent program, should no free one be available, but I’m already cutting out multiple streaming services, satellite radio, and all sorts of other shit because commercials are too annoying.

I’ve taken to using Dawn dish soap and the washcloth I use to wash dishes. It works great.

Getting divorced at 57. Only married 8 years, but separated for almost 3 now. I hate online dating. I worry about being creepy when I see someone I’m attracted to. I can’t bring myself to hit on anyone I work with, especially since I’m only attracted to women far younger than me (30s and early 40s). I guess I’m alone from here out, with my only physical contact coming from the occasional massage parlor.

And titties. I see more porn content than anything.

Berenstain Bears actually.

It’s about 25 years old. It’s only 1300 square feet with a perfectly flat yard. Perfect for me and my dog… and my son on those weekends where I get to have him with me.

I bought a house. It’s not my first house, it’s my fourth, but it’s my favorite by far. It’s smaller than any of them, it cost more, but it met all my criteria.
