In the earlier days after I first went online, I had more conversations with people on the various messengers than I do today. Two main reasons I don't converse as much now is that 1)most of the messenger programs have since "evaporated", and 2)my life is stuck in a "rut" and I don't have anything new to talk about ( Read more... )

Overall, I think my happiest decade was the 1980's, except for attending high school...THAT part of it sucked for the most part. During that decade, I hung out more with friends, and had a job that I enjoyed, with great co-workers.

Everything has been pretty much "downhill" since then.

I've realized, after reconnecting with a lot of people I went to school with on Facebook, that my life hasn't changed much after all these years. Quite a few of them are happily married, moved out of state, and are employed in decent paying jobs. They were also more popular in school than I was, meaning they weren't constantly picked on and ( Read more... )

Got in from work a few minutes ago. Well, not directly in from work, made a side trip, thus getting home a bit later than usual. After I heard about the passing of George Carlin, I realized I had never purchased the last book he wrote, so I made a dash over to Monroe to the "Books-A-Million" store (which stays open until 11pm on Mondays-Saturdays ( Read more... )

Mom bought son "GTA IV" yesterday for his PS3. Son gets home from school, I inform him that "directory assistance" calls cost money... don't make any more (there was a total of 4 made on April 12th, total cost of $14.05 added to the phone bill)! Three were for "outside the 40 mile radius" for local calls. Need to get around to asking him who the ( Read more... )

Just returned from the dentist. Got the "permenant" crown put in... at a total cost of $648 ( Read more... )

The past two days, I've had to postpone my lunch at work by up to an hour, because of delivery trucks showing up earlier than usual. Normally, my lunch falls in the 5-6pm hour, so I go out to my truck and listen to "The News-Star Hour" on the radio. Nothing worthwhile on the three local AM talk stations worth listening to after that (could care ( Read more... )

A girl I got along well with when working together at Burger King years ago has started working at the Wal-Mart I work at, in the garden center. We talk nearly every time we run into each other. After she left Burger King in the late '90's, we pretty much lost contact until now. That said... given the opportunity then, I would have "hit it". Given ( Read more... )

I know I need to wash the various towels I have around the house when Eastwood doesn't sleep in a certain place in a while(just the ones he sleeps on, the rest get washed a lot more regularly). He likes that sad ol' half-box an old HP printer came in. Washed Eastwoods "sleeping quarters" bedding today, he's comfy again in that box under the table ( Read more... )
