Oof. Had no idea. I agree.
I never have any idea what you’re talking about, but it is very entertaining, for the most part.
HOWL. I was feeling a bit grumpy last night but Cdc (constant dining companion) and I took a drive, hey we were mailing a letter, who can afford just driving around, and that moon looked like it was coming down the road at us like a Mack truck. I am glad cdc was driving because I was drenched in the moon light and all my cares were washed away. Going to go outside right now and see if I can scrounge some leftovers. Leftovers are lovely.

Not sure what you are agreeing to.
I don’t want to discuss those topics either.
As for saying it is on your mind I think that’s ok.
It is a little bit of a grey area even though the subject matter may be considered Political.

Gotcha. I have never felt more in tune with anyone on the entire internet. Thank you again. I had a bit of a rough start here on HO and you have been my guide.

I have to drag myself away from the internet a lot lately. Isn’t there some curse “may you live in interesting times”? I thought I understood but now I get it in a visceral way. Have been thinking about your incredible post mentioning patriotism and wanted to respond. Being bad at navigating this site I am having trouble replying to that post due to incompetence. Would it be wrong to just respond here? You got me thinking about the most patriotic thing I have done so far. I was following the Occupy movement and thought to myself wouldn’t it be great if there was a local movement. I searched and what to my wondering eyes did appear but an event in Lansdale Pa. Without fully understanding the complete mission I went charging over to the site for two reasons. The leader Janine wanted more warm bodies but even more I thought there were few things more American than peaceful protesting. As one member who I am now in love with just mentioned there is knowledge in being the observer. I went with an open mind. The weather was perfect and I learned so much. Plus a great source for local honey since one of my fellow protesters was a bee keeper. Many of the male protesters were intimidated when the cops cruised past us many times. They thought the cops were out to get us. I was convinced they were concerned about our well being. Of course I never said anything as we were too busy chanting “we are the ninety nine percent” and being cursed at. A lot. Jannine picked a spot in the heart of beautiful downtown Lansdale by the kugel ball, a gathering place for teens. She told me they intimidated and harassed her. I never saw it but I believe her. Since I love magic the gathering when I arrived I scanned the faces of the teens hoping to see a fellow gamer. Well that didn’t happened but I was just looking for a friend and they left me alone. One stunningly beautiful November night I suddenly felt a strong chill. A moment later a heavy set male in a huge suv gunned his engine aggressively at us and glared. I felt a strong instinct to run. No one else seemed to feel the extreme danger. The moment passed and he yelled if you get rid of the corporations you get rid of the jobs. He hurled a few curse words at us as he sped away way faster than the downtown speed limit. Did I return? Heck yes and winter finally killed off the movement. The last time I went I stood alone.

Pinochle. Anyone play? Have not played in awhile but this game, this amazing game had an impact on my life. I never progressed to bridge but you never know. Probably not though. Recall a time when there was no internet and tv was an event to be planned if you even had a television. People often played cards. In many ways my childhood was idyllic. I grew up in a dive bar and a slaughterhouse. I had no idea but the sausage factory had long been closed. I used to catch and release toads that loved to bask in the cement courtyard where they killed the pigs. I was a wild child and happy. One day I heard my name called by shes that must be obeyed. Not to channel Rumpole but my grandmother and her sisters needed a fourth for pinochle. I was summoned to the cool living room with a card table all set up. It was a sultry summer afternoon when I met my doom. I would make rookie mistakes like leading with the ace of spades but those insane old biddies learned me good. Real good. They set my foot on a path which I still walk on to this very day. My SO played, well he was in the navy, okay to not go on and on (oh who am I kidding) everyone played. What an amazing pastime. years later my posse was innocently strolling through a falling apart indoor farmers market when we spied a large gaming area which sealed my doom. People they were playing cards! A game called magic the gathering. I have been hooked ever since. My friends my family. This game has taken over my life. Poor Joseph Campbell to have his life’s work reduced to “follow your bliss” but for me this is my truth. Went to target today and got seduced by new cards. So does anyone play? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinochle

I do not, but have always liked the sound of the name. I have played “spades”, and “bid whist”, but that was before the internet and video games. I was not good at “bid whist”.

I don’t get the impression that the lack of characterS is a major issue in this particular thread .

Not for this forum. It’s for some other fora. Some require 8 or 20 letters or more.
