    This is where I am. It needs a free-fiddy donate option that doesn’t include dealing with *yet* another message board… Maybe go with 615’s $18.78 proposal here…

    I chuckled when I read it. If Athletics is involved, it ain’t Independent. ** Might as well call it… Pravda 1878 **

    OT: Bucket Listing

    I don’t have a formal list but there are things I’d like to do when I retire for good… Travel more often A. If I have a Bucket List destination, I’d like to pay my respects to Ernest Shackleton at his grave in South Georgia… Generally that also means going to Antarctica… B. Explore Europe more...

    Here’s the thing… It’s not always that expensive… One of the more enjoyable shows I’ve seen this year was Cigarettes At Sunset at Duling Hall earlier this month. It cost me $20 to see them Today they announced that they’re opening for Rainbow Kitten Surprise for some shows in the UK in May...

    Here’s my thinking: You Only Live Once (Yeah I know… 🙄) I love live music, and I’m now in a position where I can go to more shows and pay more for tickets than I have previously… In real life, I’m an extremely boring guy. I really don’t have much of a social life. Consequently, live music...

    The most you’ve paid…..

    It is what it is I would like to take ASL classes; however, the main class setting is being in a room with several people… Half of the class are talking out loud and signing in ASL to the other half… One of the consequences of me being on the Spectrum is that all the talking by the students...

    White noise or background noise or music works for me. I have music on in my office… usually YouTube or Spotify… When I’m out of the office and still in the building, I’m usually someplace where there is a vent running which does a good job of generating white noise… Edit to add: One thing I...
