Hey it's 75 degrees outside... Who stole my heat???

 

[SoulAssasin247]

Morning Paul...can you imagine going to a costume party dressed as Warren Zevon's Roland of song and waiting to see if anyone knew who you were masquerading as? WZ was brutally on the mark with that one, even if I was to young to understand the politics behind it when it first came out. But what a cool character! I even got to meet people who'd "been there and done that" from that way back then time.

SA...what's up in your world?

Morning,
At work giving away Candy. No kids came to my door yesterday and I don't keep sweets in my house. Lol

Umm...75 degrees is pretty nice actually...but your right, it does feel kind of on the cool side once you've acclimated to upper nineties and 80% humidity...

TNman - LOL - Roland would be a good character, brilliant and obscure, and you'd know who was in the know when they recognized it, so it would be a great conversation starter.

Soul - that's a good trick (keep the junk food out). It's one I practice as well. There are times when it's fine but, keeping it out of the house means that time is never "I'm bored, what can I snack on?".

Starry - it wasn't me, we're sitting in the high 50's here as the last of the rain blows through.

Azul - I went to Catholic school, so my first dance was suit and tie! (I did however learn to do formal dances as part of the social preparation, then social dances from my older siblings, cousins, and parents. It was kinda awesome and I strong recommend a few months of dance classes for adults who never learned. If you're introspective, a lot of the shyness and self-consciousness goes away once you actually know how to dance and you know you won't make a fool of yourself.)

I feel bad for anyone who stays more than one day with me. If you buy snacks you have to finish it or put it out of sight it that day and I eat it, I am going to scream at you lol. I know it's messed up. I usually tell people this as a warning.

Way to slow in here tonight so how about a little classic form the way back machine???

I've been on Honor Flight detail since about 2 am. I was on call for the preflight but not called in. Got the truck loaded this morning with all the water, flags, etc then rested until the dinner meeting. The plane was on time, I had an awesome team of LEO and Active Duty Military show up. It ran so smooth tonight even the airport lady gave me a hug and said best one yet.

Even hit a new level of family with my LEO guys. I was working the TSA line (being bad cop) and a couple of my local cops had their wives try to sneak past me to get over the TSA line to see if I'd really bust them or not. HA! I busted their wives tonight and also busted two 80 year old veterans wives who were trying to do the same thing. That was why the airport lady was happy. On the other side of the line she had a Congressman and some VIPs.

I never really dressed up for Halloween as much as just pulled out whichever Renaissance festival outfit was my favorite at the time. Most were layered lace of some sort.

The last few years I've not done anything beyond handing out candy at the rec center with the PD office staff.

Good morning all.

As I was helping my wife to bed this morning, I was thinking about the things we do for those we care about. Currently, I can hear the song "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth from my son's room. We have folks on Lit on different kinds of relationships. Some are casual friends while we may have deeper relationships with others.

So today, I am curious. When you log onto Lit, are you more of a designated thread person or a
let's see which buds are online type of person?


I have a few threads I check out when I first log on including here, but mostly I see who's around and go for there. I usually have my Skype up in case friends pop in for conversation. In general though, that's how I roll.

 

[Dumpling]

Just enough Time left to wave Hi and wish all of you a half decent Day

 

[Paul_Chance]

Good morning Azul and Dumpling - I'll take a half decent day if that is what the universe offers.

I'm a thread person - I log on and pop through the threads I am active in. If I run across someone I'm close to, then we might drift into PM's.

 

[tnman03]

Morning Spacer's. You present a good question Azul. I view a lot more threads then I post in. Trying to keep up and be active in multiple threads is to time consuming for me and avoids the pitfalls of lit drama's. As to friends. Yep. I'm closer to some then others but I try to make sure and not be pestiferous. I've mentioned it before but here it is again. You've got to find a balance between time spent here (or online) and in your real life world.

 

[Paul_Chance]

TNman - yeah, I tend to agree with you there. I'm often puzzled by people online for excessive amounts of time complaining about how they can't meet a person in real life. I wonder why they don't connect the dots?

The online world, whether it's forums like this, social networks, or gaming should be about doing something you enjoy and, if that is your thing, connecting with other human beings.

I think the "test" for me is always - does this participation make your life better and you happier? If yes, then continue. If no, then maybe consider taking those hours and investing them in something that makes you life richer. Of course, that is just the way I approach all of the above - and in this wide and beautiful world one side does not fit all.

Follow your bliss. Even if that bliss takes you down the rabbit hole, enjoy the rabbit hole.

 

[Tiamo15]

Excellent question today Azul! And as always, thought-provoking responses from the responding Spacesters.

Right now the days are going by too fast for me to check Lit everyday. But here's my quickie answer. If I log in, I check the Spacebar. If there are active nerdy threads I like going, I'll check them next, but there are none currently I'm into. Other than that, most of you are on Skype, and we have our conversations throughout the day. I also have a couple other forums I'm active on. This is the only sex forum though, lol. I didn't come here to find sex, but I have stayed for the friends.

I'm an introvert, but I still like to feel connected. That's why I end up in hobby forums, social mmos or survival games where I've made lasting friendships. I rarely like to get too close, but do like having friends I care about and vice versa. I prefer to converse more one-on-one via Skype, or if more intimate, possibly via phone.

This week I've been playing my game every night to wind down after such a busy day. Last night I decided I'd play alone and catch up on old quests. Even then, a dear Dwarf Warrior friend joined me on his alt and we played for 4 hours straight. I haven't played this game seriously in a few years, but the tells kept coming in all night, all these old friends who were happy to see me playing again, wondering if I was on cam streaming the game, and asking me to group with them. I have to admit it feels so good to be valued and remembered after so many years. Remember, I usually keep to my own private guild, so it's not like I'm a social butterfly.

I play these games because they fulfill my social needs. The instant the games or online forums feel like a job or the atmosphere gets caustic, I'm off to focus on another hobby.

In real life, I have no problem making friends, despite the introvert I am. Lately, I am perfectly fine with mostly online friends, always there for a phone call and texts and possibly meeting up with girlfriends or the occasional special guy.

 

[Tiamo15]

Here's a sweet message I received from a dear old friend I've known for six years. And what I like to be known for, kindness and even better, skill!

I like this posting.

Thank you. I have some pretty sweet things from you too! But I couldn't post them here, everyone would know your username. That guy isn't on Lit, nor does he still play my game but we still keep in touch.

But yeah I've spent a lot of time in Mumble chat with him. He was the most self-less person in the game when I met him, always helping others out. Got to get to know quite a few amazing people, including a 75 (probably 80 now) year old man and his sweet wife. Those people I still see around, he crafted me an item just this past year.

 

[Azuldrgon]

I do like the answers you all have been giving to these questions.
It does make the thread better when there are others in here participating and making this the way it was intended.

I have the World Series on as was reminded to me by a friend.
Time to see if the Cubs can get the Indians out and go into extra innings.

*hugs you tightly*
One day, i'm going to be able to post on here how wonderful a person you are by using eloquent words and great imagery. However, the thing is it doesn't matter the words, but the heart behind it.

Most know how gorgeous you are, but few know how intelligent you are and how much of an awesome woman you are. They assume things that are untrue or whatever. When it all comes down to it, you are an awesome person and someone I admire greatly for much more than I am going to post here. I know the frequent spacers are going to agree with me on that. Thank you for being you, sweetheart.

 

[shmily]

the Cubs are keeping me up late. they are in the bottom of the 10 up by 2..... they need to shut those Indians down so i can go to bed.....

 

[Azuldrgon]

Good morning all.

*starts coffee*

That was a very dramatic game 7 last night. It took one extra inning and it was a nail biter until the end. So here's my question. When did you experience a nail biter of your own?

Good Morning Azul,
Thanks for getting the coffee ready.

I am usually on time, so I'll say last year when I raced my supervisor. I lost but in the very last moment. A co worker recorded it, we laughed for months about it.
