THANK GOD I'm not the only one.
My wife also follows this stuff all day long and can't grasp why I don't or why I don't want to listen to the "this is what I saw on social media today" download from her.
I won't even call it fascinating. It's polluting - as in polluting my consciousness and I won't allow it.
Last week on date night, she forgot her phone at the house when we went out to dinner and within five minutes of sitting down, she manages to swipe my my phone and is trying to figure out how to login to Facecrack (I deleted the app on my phone long ago) and to QAnon on 8chan or something like that.
I had to swipe it back. I was tired of talking to myself.
She gets in a zone and can ignore everything in the room while she's reading and she keeps saying "oh my God!" out loud repeatedly. I try to keep the Margaritas coming that way she's still hollering that after we get home from our date

I think Fabs is still suffering the consequences of waking the Dianimal from her slumber. Lmao. I tried to find the picture on book face but can't.
In all seriousness, he's alive and well. We texted quite a bit this weekend, im sure he'll appreciate your concern
Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work
It's flattering that people would be wondering where I've been so thank you for asking and thanks to all for the replies.
Over the last month, I was approached by a young lady I'd hit on in a store a few months back. Long story short, she said there was no shortage of times she was hit on while working there, however the time I approached her was the only time she didn't want to turn down the offer. Initially I was excited she'd eventually reciprocated, however the shine wore off when she informed me why it was she decided to eventually talk to me. As it turns out, she's a lesbian and engaged to be married, which is what she told me when I hit on her. She had eventually approached me because she and her future wife want to have a baby. I think most can guess where I would have fit into this. And yes, she wanted to get pregnant "the old fashioned way", wink wink. I declined. It was a slight ego boost at the moment but an ultimate nothing.
I took the XR trike to the beach twice, which is a little bit of a big deal. The beach I go to is about 40 miles away and I don't want to go to any others really, and I won't drive there because of shite Cape Cod traffic and it's $20 to park, bikes park for free. I don't want to take the XR on the highway really, so I had to find back roads the entire way. I was fairly certain it could be done and turns out I was right. We've had some great beach weather but I don't spend much time there even after such a long haul each way, because when it comes down to it, I'm at the beach by myself. There are tons of other people there but nobody with me.
The XR has been great, it's finally dependable. It smokes like a freight train now and definitely needs valve seals. I'll see what else it needs while I'm in there over the winter. It's awesome riding it, the people's reactions are priceless. I get a lot of attention on it while nobody knows who I am and can't see who's behind the helmet. I drift and wheelie everywhere I go, it's kind of my alter ego but realistically the essence of who I am.
Trikefest was awesome, nuff said. No guff, no bad seeds, no bad blood. I partied too hard and made myself sick. I spent a lot of Friday and the entire day Saturday hiding in the A/C in my trailer, I was in extremely bad shape. I'm not talking about a hangover. I was worried sick about the 18 hour drive home all day Saturday, but when Sunday came the drive home ended up being quite uneventful and enjoyable. It was tough at first being sick, but I was slowly improving as I traveled. I can't honestly say I feel fully recovered yet at this point.
Shep had me over last weekend to have a fire and some drinks with his family and neighbors. A good time was had by all! So that was good.
Overall I've not been great since being off the boards here. Someone said I was on the book, which is true, but I'm not "on the book". I have an account, yes, and it is active, however the only reason I was on there was to comment on some Trikefest pictures and make a couple of new contacts of people I actually know in the flesh now, which I much prefer over just virtual friends. That applies more to Fakebook than the forum, as experience has taught me that the forum attracts a pretty appealing crowd.
I'm hoping to be selling this house in a private sale this summer or fall, and both myself and the buyer have been waiting a very, very long time to hear if he's going to be able to get financed or not.
To be blunt I've been generally unhappy and unhealthy. I'm pretty p!ssed off at the world and have very little hope for myself. I am convinced that my destiny is to continue on in this manner, by myself, and I'm not talking about without friends or family. I have a lot of friends and a lot of family. Lots of love but not quite the kind I'm in need of. I do feel black inside, I don't feel capable of joy nor do I feel able to receive the good will of others towards me. There wasn't a woman who would look at me when I was busting my arse killing myself at work, and I figured with the time off once I stopped working I could work on myself and have more time to put myself out there. Unfortunately, "broken and aging veteran" is an even less desirable title than "Boston truck driver" as it turns out. Who knew? Perpetually alone in that department with very few opportunities to change that and failed attempts when there are any seems to fit the bill for the last few years. It's gone on far too long, I'm weary. It's nice to be provided with what I have, but it only seems to add irony to my situation when I am able to manifest what is so important to so many and difficult to obtain, yet I cannot ascertain that which is thrown away and wasted by even the poorest of men and can be had for "free". I feel as though life is mocking me. It is that one thing which I desire so deeply that eludes me so intently, it's a step ahead of me every time, so what's the point? This is when we get to the discussion about how selfish one person could be. Far be it for me to sit here and argue the merits of taking one's own life, however I cannot express enough that every person has their limits. Nobody knows what's going on in anyone else's head and clearly it takes some pretty dire events to drive a person to want to end their own life. If you felt you were being tormented every day you wake up, you might see that it gets tiresome to plaster a smile on your face and pretend you're enjoying your part in life. I could sit here and give everyday life examples, and I can paint a very good picture with words, but I'm not bothering. This is a farking novel as it is, and those words wouldn't be a replacement for personal experience. I have a hard time with a lot, and people rarely understand. Someone referred to me as a "chicken shite" for removing myself from a social situation gone awry that I couldn't deal with, and it wasn't a fight I was backing away from. Just something that was too much for me at that moment. I've been called names my whole life and it's been a very long time since they've bothered me. Hell, "Fabio" was knock on me when that nickname was established, but chicken shite keeps rattling through my head for some reason.
This is not my triumphant return, I'm not looking for attention or thanks or condolences or apologies, just giving an update and I felt like venting tonight. Honestly I'm still p!ssed off at that bullshit from Bryan, I thought I liked that guy, and people on here agreeing with the same farking thing I said when someone else said it. I'm having trouble taking that as anything other than a glaring sign that I post too much on this forum. Say what you want, whether you like my posts or dislike them, they are highly read and do create traffic on this forum. Howard Stern had just as many listeners following him in the 80's who didn't like his show as he did fans. Even those who didn't like his show were still listening. Since being off here and not being on the book, I find myself opening my phone during the day and staring at it blankly for a few seconds only to realize I have absolutely no reason to be looking at my phone. Sometimes I miss it, but not enough to keep me on here when I don't want to be, and I don't want to be right now. This is a good representation of many aspects of my life, it seems futile to partake in many ways to me.

Well, I appreciate you stopping by with an update. I truly wish you could find the thing(s) that would provide you with the peace, happiness, and contentment you seek in life.
This next statement isn't meant to be advice or a solution to the issues you're dealing with but whenever I'm having a bad day, I just remember that somewhere someone makes dildos for a living.
YMMV

Personally, I’m just so busy watching re-runs on cable to post much. Actually watching honey, I shrunk the kids by myself.....thinking about doing the dishes soon. Sounds fun huh?
Shep
I can't recall his name but I remember a long time ago, a guy that used to post here mentioned that his real day job is/was making dildos

A transgendered feminist
There was a huge amount of social engineering in all the sitcoms and variety shows that I can remember seeing in the 70s. All in the Family had transgendered and drag characters like the woman (man) in the taxi Archie saved from choking. George Jefferson's old college buddy was trans. I remember Lamont and Fred Sanford going to pickup a free piano from a gay dude and Fred freaks out when they figure out he's gay. All in the Family was one great big social engineering mind F*** and it flew right over alot of people's heads. Heavy political and socio economic overtures in alot of stuff. LGBT stuff. Mel's Cafe got their own Russian ballet janitor defector to address Soviet Socialism. George Jefferson was Archie Bunker for Black folks. Both characters were bigots that fell right into situations where they could show their viewpoints deemed socially unacceptable. They were both surrounded by much more progressive people than Arch or George who made it their mission to teach both guys a lesson or help them see the 'err' of their ways. Archie freaked out when black people moved next door (George) and George freaked out when his son was dating a half white girl. Their kids were also assisting in teaching those old farts how to be good progressive converts.
I love watching those show reruns but they are carbon copies of one another and are meant to mock and shame a particular subset of people for their beliefs that run counter to the desired behavior. Once you realize how infected everything has been for a long time, you can't go back and it almost quits being entertaining
