    Am awake.

    I was hoping to sleep until eight or nine... but I woke up at six and couldn't go back to bed. I'm already dreading the age old argument when I try to leave with the first night bus. I'm the oldest one in the group - I've already have my partying years way in the past. Let grandma get to bed at a reasonable time!

    Discovering that there is a laundry ball that collects microplastics from your washing.

    Naturally I want it, but it will cost me 40 euro including postage! Kinda hoping I could get it from the health store in the town instead.

    Just got home from getting my last moving box. On bike. Or rather, walking while balancing it on the bike since it was the easier way I figured to get it home.

    I'm sending them away next weekend so I need to start packing on Thuesday. Or... finish packing... a lot of the things are already packed. Just need to distribute the weight more evenly and more what's in what box.

    I believe so...Looks like a paparazzi photo of him leaving the doctor's office.

    What I'm doing: just got home from a party. It's 3:15A.M.and the neighborhood is so quiet, I may stay up all night to work on a few things.

    I just passed a second end of unit test on a distance learning course I'm enrolled on. I have 5 more units to go.

    Now to do some grocery shopping.

    Hmm. On further investigation, they appear to be made out of plastic which apparently also sheds. So...there is little to no benefit, actually.
    It's a good idea for a product, but needs serious revision by the sounds of it.

    No math problem, we cannot find your X. Don't ask us Y. Honestly, you gotta let the X go, man.

    I hated math problems.

    Hmmm. I call it 'Farcebook', I never could figure out the real purpose of the site.

    I'm at the most awkward party and only reason I'm at my phone is cause I tried to be social but was ignored by everyone :bigmeh:

    On my way home. Just passed the Elbtunnel. There is a huge construction site around Hamburg and they have built additional tunnels. Due to the constructions sites and the traffic jam at some point I couldn‘t tell on which side of the Elbe I was, quite confusing :confused:. Anyway, 336 km more to go, definitely with more construction sites but hopefully without major traffic jams and heavy rain ;).

    It's difficult and I wish I knew what the answer was. If I did, the same thing wouldn't happen to me.

    That sucks, Lemie. I'm so sorry. It sounds like the party was populated by a bunch of incredibly selfish people who have no manners. I wish I could have beamed you to the party I was at, because that would not have happened.

    Lemie, are you primarily an introvert, as we don't like hanging out in large noisy groups, like parties?
    Or is it due to not wanting to hang out with certain folks?

    Either way, I feel for you for the dilemmas you've described. Part of me thinks, yeah, screw them all, I don't have to put up with things I don't prefer, but another part says, yeah, last time together, and it would be rude, so I'd go, and would focus on making the most of it, that is, keep an eye on myself to not veer off into a negative state for the duration of the night.

    If it was a continuing thing, I would stand my ground and politely tell folks why I don't wanna hang out with them, and not be bothered by any potential negative responses from them.

    - Can charge me Cowon thru me tablet, but can't access files.
    - Grabbed an 'mp3 editing' and 'vid to mp3 converter' app for the tablet.
    - Edited files then transfered to puta, then loaded onto Cowon.
    - Did yesterday's return in 47, fastest by 2 mins thus far I think.
    - Often noticing wind picks up on return leg, I suspect due to increased atmospheric disturbances from increased heat from rising sun.
    - No wind on the run in, but ever so slight side and headwind on the return.
    - Dawn when I start my rides, but temp increases by 4-6 degrees by the time I return.
    - Hardest I've pushed yesterday, so zonked out easily that arvie, plus did a load of firewood for The Contessa..
    - Now 3am, still mildly sore, but feeling confident and sexy.
    - Intermittent heavy rain, but if it clears up will do injectors and install treadlee road tyres as it's been a week since purchase and I need to test them asap.

    I admire your minimalistic lifestyle, MissBadWolf, but two towels would still be minimal while resolving that problem.

    Hmmm, minimalism or just low on funds...or perhaps a dislike of towels?

    I think he misunderstood what a sports cup is...or this is his artistic interpretation of 'bone china'.

    Bought the box set 'cus he's in it. I've watched snippets of the series on YT and like his character and the recent season 1 I got was quite good in regards to relationships and human nature.

    A year or so ago I bought...eff me...total mind blank...wait...wait...I can see the intro of the show but not the name...ahh, The X Files box set due to fond memories of a few episodes; and I've never seen the whole series.

    Sadly, it was excruciatingly painful to watch the whole lot, even passing over quite a few episodes. Ended up only having about a dozen favs. Just found the repeated formula monotonous after 2 seasons, and no payouts for the huge story arcs.

    Decided to read the blog as I couldn't understand his drooping eye brows...bowtox.

    What's the deal with aversion to wrinkles?
    Wouldn't be surprised it's just another example of a fear of death, as signs of aging is a sign of physical death getting closer.

    I wonder if he's thinking the same thing.

    The purpose of Facebook is to be a good and easy platform so that everyone can publish they deepest and most complicated thinking in carefully structured form.

    So.. Next time you have good new ideas about some hard neurolinguistic problem, new thoughts about how conceptual space is structured and what kind of memetic dynamics it allows... then Facebook is your friend.
