I actually got my first home computer for my kids Commodore 64. I learned how to program it in DOS

My Dad had one! I only cared that we could play games on it. lol

A lot of boys (cousins, class mates) had those. I wasn't really interested but my dad bought me a computer with Win3.1 when I was a teen. It was ridiculously expensive! But with that one I taught myself the basics of using Windows and MS Works, which was of course wildly useful already in high school (though we were not required to do essays, reports etc on computer). In the uni I was shocked to realize that many of my peers had still never used Office. The uni, however, assumed we had... Or that we would just inhale the knowledge somehow.

I am old, I like it, earned every scar I got along the way, chicks dig scars

I don't mind physical scars, but mental scars can sometimes be hard for the partner to live with.

Definitely.

Yep, that’s true, but we all have them to some degree. It’s nice to have someone to lean on a little, and to be leaned on. Give and take.

Ok so are we all trippin on shrooms this weekend to exercise our demons?

No. But I’ll babysit you. No bad trips.

My dad bought an early Apple... kinda forgot about that... maybe 1978? Or so?
I was allowed to play pong and practice keyboarding on it. That's it. Lmao

Exercise or exorcise? Two very different things…depending on the demon, exercise might be fun

 

[MedicalMuse]

Needy bastard.

I don't do trippin'. Illegal here and I don't fancy it anyway.

What's Mavis Beacon?

Typing tutor. We had to be able to type 65 words per minute to pass the damn keyboarding class.

gotcha. We just had one woman walking around the class with a stopwatch

 

[MedicalMuse]

I dont either, I just talk a lot of crap. But if Musey is babysitting me and tucking me in I will give it a try

You don’t have to do shrooms for that.

Fair. I’d legit trust her for that

No pressure, right? Oy

 

[MedicalMuse]

That’s because I’m trustworthy.

That came long after I was getting paid to type 70+wpm to put myself thru school.

 

[hotoldrguy]

Lol ummm what kind of common core voodoo witchcraft is that? We didnt have keyboard class, we had wood shop and learn to spell dog.

we had typing, woodworking and metal shop. They had home ec but I did not take that one LOL

I think all my floppy discs are long gone!

I imagine they can be if not dealt with correctly. My heart goes out to those that struggle with them.

So many have scars that barely death with at all. In worst cases it starts with growing up askew, and then adding scars over the years. I think I kind of got more than my share of that with my late husband.

Yep, that’s true, but we all have them to some degree. It’s nice to have someone to lean on a little, and to be leaned on. Give and take.

Of course nobody is totally free of them. Just there are huge variations. Some are not really ready for any healthy relationship before doing some healing first. Taking care of the worst parts. Just like you don't get out of the hospital before your injuries are sufficiently healed.

I don't know where the quote is from, pretty sure it was on a shirt, but I remember it from my high school days:

Bones heal,
Chicks dig scars,
Pain is temporary,
Glory is forever

Nods. indeed.
Got my Dinosaur on.
