Such modesty.

Never said I'm a hottie now!

Buuut I think I like how I look now. Certainly never did back then. I think it's healthy to be comfortable with one's self.

Then you had to go and remind me this morning that I'm approaching middle age

I hear the young bucks are continually hitting on you, no
matter how hard you try to appear aloof & uninterested.

I suspect some of it is because of the tattoos and the alt look.

I think I'm attractive. But there are hotter women

Wait you still don't carry one?

It's been more consistent once I got a smart phone a few years ago as they replaced mp3 players. But not much overall. Outside of driving rideshare and the gym I still have CDs for my car (Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe is currently in it).
And not having a smart phone did bite me in the rear a bit when I worked as a scribe at college. Basically, everyone who had a smart phone got the email alerts for a job first and they'd be filled by the time I checked my email. I only got one job in that position.
But before the smart phone chances were I didn't have it on me and may not have known where it was. If it wasn't for spotify it'd be the same with this one.

The hottest women scare off men of lesser station.
Clearly, you're the kind of hot they see as attainable.
You're in the Goldilocks Zone.

That makes sense actually, that works in lesbianland too. Nope, that one's out of my league!

he swore off girls.

Reminded me of this humorous episode of "The Little Rascals"

Insanity.
Strategy behind Texas abortion law could be ‘double-edged sword,’ attorney says – Nexstar Media Wire

Everyone should have a vigilante law for their cause - armed of course. Then we can be a failed state like the others we see.

Though they do wear high waisted pants for some reason. Whippersnappers.

I never understood that in men until I became one and found that having one's pants going to the middle of the chest was due to spine shrinkage with age.

 

[Meow Mix]

Oh my god I have mosquito bites on the same spot on the tops of both of my feet. Slay me now

 

[sun rise]

Walk the Highline.

Not the clothesline?

I'm 37, few years older, so I might have more pre-internet/pre-cell phone memories.

Try being my age. We hooted and grunted at each other and cheered when we got 7 digit phone numbers of our very own.

I still remember planning the first time I moved out of my parents, and the conversation of splitting bills with roommates, amd the bombshell announcement that cell phones are cheaper than a landline. Which still doesn't make any sense to me.

We have a COVID outbreak at my work. Oh goody! 15% infected so far. Everyone who was in contact with those infected must get tested.

There's another outbreak in China. If that totalitarian country can't stop Covid with mind-boggling control over people, the rest of us just have to do the best we can.

I saw we give the West Coast and New England to those who comply with restrictions while the others get MidWest and the South.

First random, meaningless announcement here: This is a good idea. Thanks for starting this thread, MM!

Edit: Make that the second random, meaningless announcement here. Typing on a phone is slow.

With my necromantic powers I summon this old comment by DS!

*safety dance*
Necromance if you want to
You can bring your friends to life
But your friends aren’t dead
And if they’re not dead
Then they’re no friends of mine

necromance, necromance

I remember the luxury of getting a private phone line.
The party line was shared with neighbors, & each had
their own ring. Anyone could listen in on anyone else.

Morning everyone.

I like the character Sonic, but these are going a bit too far for me:

 

[Wu Wei]

It has everything to do with peanut butter. Didn't you know it's the single measure of a person?

You do realize you're talking to a bear...right
