November 27, 200321 yr comment_239423 I'm hungry but can't decide what I want. This is an eternal problem. It's especially bad when in a large but well-acquainted group of people for lunch. I've often thought of starting a business where people can just call, give me their parameters (likes, dislikes, what members of the group won't eat), then I come up (for a nominal fee) with THE ANSWER! This service would spread to many cities and be a boon to the bored bourgeoisie.
November 27, 200321 yr comment_239449 When I was younger, in my late teens and 20s, like many people, I looked "weird", embracing looks that I thought (and in some cases still think) were cool or interesting. As I've had to work a "respectable" job, that's gone by the wayside in many ways. Today I was walking to Safeway (West Coast/I think also Mid-West now grocery chain) and along the walk (also going to Safeway as it turned out) were three younger people, one with green hair (but with subtle variations in the shade) and another with neat white hair with orange tips. I really wanted to take a good long look to get a better view, but of course just glanced and wanted to not be seen as staring. I was thinking of how many younger people, including me back at that time of my life, think older people are disapproving when "staring" at them for their looks. But now I was thinking that it must be that on some frequent basis older people are just interested, not necessarily approving but also not disapproving, just looking. It's funny that's lost on so many younger people.
November 27, 200321 yr comment_239450 My grandmother rocks... I called her to wish her a happy thanksgiving... she mentioned trouble walking, and I voiced some concerns. Her response was "It's just old age, dear." I informed her that if it were up to me, she'd be around for another century. Her reply? "Oh my. That sounds VERY tiring."

November 28, 200321 yr comment_239720 It's good that nothing really consequential is discussed here in the NGD. That's because that's a lot like lots of gaming. Don't get me wrong, gaming can be trancedental, but a lot of it is just hanging out with buddies, killing time in a great way.

November 28, 200321 yr Author comment_239799 I derive at least as much enjoyment from reading posts in this thread as I do from posting to it.

November 29, 200321 yr comment_239840 It's cold here. Litterally cold, not figuritively as in the emotional vibe. Not REALLY cold, not ultra cold. just cold. I get tired of Disney
November 29, 200321 yr comment_239848 I used to be really irritated by emoticons and other abbreviations and onomotapeias, but I've realized just how far they go in setting people straight on intent. I thought I'd never really see it that way, but there you go. The real point is, I find as I've aged I change my mind a lot more than I used to and see the world in many more shades of gray.
