Thankies.

I picture bosses as overgrown children with ADHD and a mean streak. The “hi” was the same you’d hear from a kindergartner who was only trying to lure into his web of loneliness and torment. He’d appear nice for awhile but sooner or later he’d steal your damn pants and tell Eileen Martin you weren’t wearing any when you got there.

Stella, our black roommate (cat) is getting old. We’ve had to keep her indoors for at least 13 Halloween’s, because of evil mofo’s. She’s only killed one small animal this year, but it was unrecognizable. She flayed that smaller critter! For years we would find evidence of her handiwork in the bushes etc. These skeliti reminded me of her younger mass murdering machine days.

Haha! That was pretty much it.

The mailman didn’t verbally respond. I wish I could’ve seen the expression on his face. I bet he had a visual response.

Was it the sort of “hi” that means he’s trying to humanize himself by connecting with those he considers beneath him, but ends up sounding like it’s his first day out of alien spy school and he’s also kind of a jerk? That kind of “hi”?

I saw that Home Depot has skeletal horses and T. rexes and I now wish we had a Home Depot nearby.

The good news is that I just saw a pile of free bricks on the drive home from work 💪

Yep! I got no complaints being where I am now. 😎

We all have faults my friend I’m so sorry for your loss but am happy for the life you lead now!

Re: copyrights— I think I’ve only had one thing copyrighted and that was a music CD back in the 90s. I think why I stopped bothering is because from what I read all work is automatically copyrighted but if one wanted said copyright to stand up in court one should make it official with the gov’mt. That’s just from what I vaguely remember anyways.

Re: starter marriages— yep, Kathy was good practice. I don’t know why I still think about her, it’s not like I do every day but I suppose weekly for sure.

Punching bags… That’s bad news :(

“basement of my soul”—-A+

i have similar words describing the world of pain prior to enlightment: “Trailer Park Soul”, which I have often stylized with all lower case.

When I went to copyright TPS, there were DOZENS of authors with extremely similar words. Lesson is that you can’t copyright stuff fast enough. It was at least 5 years old when I went to get wrights. I have wondered what would have happened if I’d moved faster.

On the topic: I’m a big believer in starter marriages. It’s a damn shame, but I was an axxhole. I’ve totally forgiven and forgotten that one. Too much crap since to be viable.

I was too .. blinded and used as a punching bag . He didnt work and I had all the bills to pay and baby to raise .

For sure! It’s all too easy to ignore the truth when we’re blinded by emotion. :)

A great friend of mine tried to warn me about my first wife but I was blinded by what I thought was true (Love) to listen you live and you learn she cheated on me before we got married and after we got married my bad lol

Yep, there was a whole lot of that “don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel” stuff going around at one point. Jung put it best with his thoughts on the “shadow” and how denying that, denying what’s inside us (feelings and the like) is the true act evil and not the shadow itself.

Its interesting because I never thought my “childhood stuff” was enough to talk about - bother with. I had never been sexually abused or hit or anything. I’m learning in just this past year - that I never really learned how to feel. It wasn’t allowe…See More

Yep. I’d go far as to say “most of the time it takes a long time…”

Yep stuff that happens when you’re a kid really gets burned into who we grow up to be. Sometimes it takes a long time to change that.

Here’s an accidental photo my iPad took while I was preparing to record the video.
