• A cup or two of coffee costs $5/mo. Why not help someone host something which serves as entertainment or a social service?

    To me, $5 isn’t much. I realize for me it’s more on account of the low dollar, but that is ok. There isn’t much one can get for that amount these days. I eat out one time and it costs more.

    That being said, i wish I could…[Read more]

  • For me.. it’s about to be finals.. now that some holidays are passed. Then, the Christmas holiday and my kid’s big birthday and the New Year. Then, I suppose.. it will be Trump’s presidency.
    For the last month it’s been getting used to the new job. Feeling pretty great about it now.

  • These are excellent! Especially with wordy people like me. :)

    Buttt…… and I know you devote a lot of time, effort, and energy into this site, which is nice… but
    It would be good to be able to keep […]

    Hi. Welcome to JC. :)

  • Kent f OBE. User: JUSTNOTHING asked me to tell you that the video from 29 August 2014 5:48PM doesn’t work. I am relaying the message. :good:

  • Hi Kent f Ob.
    Your post doesn’t show up from August 2014. The video doesn’t exist anymore. Can you please tell me what it was?

    Thanks.

    Baby is mostly healthy.. the rest of us fighting ever so slight cold so life is good. My boss gave us flowers and a bottle of wine each saying thank you for making her life easier. Finals are coming.
    Today I have the roast stuffed turkey in the oven and will prepare rest of the dinner shortly. :)

    I am wondering – did I just miss it or did you each always have a problem with procrastination or did you slowly evolve to procrastinate? I have never been one to procrastinate in ANY AREA of my life before the last year.. as it has steadily increased..

    I really don’t think it’s because I’m so busy, but perhaps..

  • chowa replied to the topic Procrastination in the forum Off topic chat 8 years, 6 months ago

    Yeah, that sounds a lit more in depth to what Martin was saying, and I do find this to be what I have been experiencing lately.

    Yeah, I have only since your post realized that quiet time is something to be relished.. and when you have rising deadlines in work and/or school.. the best thing you can do is find that quiet time at NON TIRED times.…

    Yeah, that really does seem to help me, too. But I also feel quite a bit of anxiety coming up to and working through the deadline.

    I’ve always been very confident on what I can and can not do and rarely anxious about capabilities. But lately, with the procrastination, I make things that should be mediocre a little more large.

    Then, again, I am…[Read more]

  • Is there some reason that you wouldn’t be?

  • Hi Sueh1960,
    I am really sorry to hear that. I hope that you know that this too will pass. In 2010, my heart failed and I had to have emergency surgery. My family and friends – some wanted to be with me and couldn’t, and some didn’t bother. I didn’t even get a phone call before and I was SO scared. A year and a half later, I was hit by a car.…[Read more]

  • Hi HeadintheClouds.  Thank you for posting! I am so sorry that I haven’t replied back in so long. Just life has left me so busy that I mostly fall asleep when I get home, minues an hour or half an hour of half awake in the chat room(s).

    I can understand having a broken heart from losing someone you love. There is a very big difference between…[Read more]

  • I have noticed that some of the “new” girls that come in sometimes, have traits that are VERY like some of the men that come in sometimes. However, I really am not around long enough to tell as I’m so busy offline.

    Regardless, I do find it a little creepy. I figure if someone is just experimenting, then they will tell the people they know in a…[Read more]

    The li’l big guy is sick again. :( SOOoooo many tourists come to this state – every part of it – from all over the country and the world. I wish his li’l immune system was tougher. Maybe more veggies!

  • chowa replied to the topic Procrastination in the forum Off topic chat 8 years, 7 months ago

    Do you guys find that there is a specific trigger that could make this happen more often? I am not sure if it’s fear of failure or frustration or what.
    I DO try to do things.. and yet, they do not happen because of interruptions and what not.

    You are right, it can be downright frustrating — or telling, too.  It certainly does take determination…[Read more]

  • I don’t want to add any fuel to a fire or anything..

    I am in the United States, and I feel that we need to stop – as a general rule – thinking we are summit better than anyone else. We ARE NOT. We are war mongers and we push ourselves on other nations because we CAN.

    The truth is.. wise travelers should read up on the nations they visit and try…[Read more]

  • Here’s the thing – it costs money to run a site. It costs money to host the server for the chat site (esp. one so big as this one, including boards). It costs money to manage and to moderate. It costs time (and time is money if one is qualified to have a career) to review Reports, to make adjustments to the site, to set up new accounts, and those…[Read more]

  • Im sorry for what you went through and I’m sorry for all of the harsh comments. I am sorry for how it can be – dating either online or offline – hard and cold, at times. Dissapointing, too.

    But several I know found lasting love online – online local, though, in their city – but even still.

    May you be blessed.. and ignore the trolls. Maybe if we…[Read more]
