    What’s the difference between the old and new sites? This one has been more difficult for me to log into, that’s all. I looked at joining up as a paying member but nearly went into cardiac arrest when the monitor stuck out it’s cyber mitt for a hundred bucks, in one cold corporate cyber hit. No monthly option for deductions…I thought that it’s be a bout $20 to join, but ah well, that’s why some people have coin and I don’t. I have little interest in matters fiscal, but given that it’s xmas time my penurious condition is even more acute than usual, so joining up will just have to wait until early next year. I’ve outed myself as one of the paupers in the neighbourhood lol

    G’day one and all! There were lots of things that I loved doing as a kid: reading books, wrecking toys through curiosity (I loved opening the backs of radios etc. as the circuitry reminded me of tiny cities), riding my bike, mucking around with my mates…what I couldn’t do was just sitting quietly inside. I am 46 and still don’t know what I want to be when I eventually grow up. If daydreaming was a job then I’d be a C.E.O. of a multi national conglomerate…

    Cripes, it’s a minefield we walk every day, no? Forgetfulness and procrastination are Siamese twins, and the little bastards are stuck on our backs like baby koalas!

    I’m still trying to figure out how to navigate through this site now…somehow I fluked it on today, but I can’t access those nice funny faces, or pop an av in! Maybe next time…

    Crikey, another one, eh? Where in Oz are you Macca? Maybe we could compare horror stories πŸ˜† I’m in Canberra at the moment, but well and truly over the joint…I’ve lived in Perth, Tassie, Melbourne, Geelong, Wangaratta, and briefly in Brissie…been stuck here for nearly a year, keen to move again, but my wife is sick of moving around. It’s me that must have the nomad gene…anyway, g’day, and seeya around… :D

    G’day! It’s just a barrel of laughs, no? Just like being lost in a maze, eh? πŸ˜† Good luck and if I ever find any of the hidden doors that we just can’t seem to see I’ll let you guys know… :D

    Heh, it is weird knowing that so many people struggle with the things that we’ve struggled to conceal and disguise over a lifetime, and that there is a reason for being a bit of a freak πŸ˜† I’m unemployed again too…my last gig lasted 3 days, and I quit that one, for apart from a variety of other reasons there was too much potential for me to stuff something up…anyway, it is perversely comforting knowing that other people wrestle with similar demons, no? Procrastination, indecision, chaos, mayhem, bad choices, addictive behaviour, the geyser that shoots the never ending volleys of thoughts into one’s mind etc etc. Welcome to the club! πŸ˜†

    Making decisions is something that I’ve never been particularly good at, and I’ve contrived to have others make my decisions for me as an easy way out, I think to try and absolve myself from having a bad decision hung around my neck as yet another wreath of shame to hang with the rest of the doozies that are exclamation marks for my idiocy. I am certain that I’ll eventually develop enough confidence to be able to not nourish those too familiar feelings of impending doom and derision from the hecklers (led by oneself I might add :) ) that haunt after a lifetime of screwing everything up…as for the kitten, you clearly love the tiny thing, and that alone shows that you’ve made a good decision.

    Cripes, SDWA reading your opening post made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Me to a ‘T’ :( It’s just so overwhelming and demoralising, but what else can we do other than each day wake up and say ‘I’ll start this or that tomorrow’? We have no option but to just hope that by some miracle we’ll get the impetus to get started, and then the resolve to maintain that momentum. Very daunting. I’m hoping that by implementing a healthy diet and by doing regular exercise that I can at the very least drag myself out of the rut before it becomes an abyss…I feel terrible that there are so many people that perish in third world countries before they see their first day out. One of them could have made far better use of my life. It’s kind of like having a ticket to a theme-park and just sitting in the carpark looking in, whilst others turn up and don’t get in due to not having a ticket…

    πŸ˜† Yes, it does look quite steamy! *swoon* πŸ˜†

    Rightio, no mention of black holes, or holes of any hue! I’ve become fixed on the idea of taking up skipping. The way that boxers train with those skipping ropes. I’m thinking that a few months of that for say an hour a day, and I’ll have the foundation laid for getting fit again! Any ideas? :?:

    Why the change out of curiosity? Forgive me, I haven’t clicked the link, but there seems to be cultural obsession with change.

    Just like with consumerism, no sooner is something available before it’s superseded in the blink of an eye! I’m not criticising by the way, I haven’t even been a member here for very long. Is the fora going to be streamlined, or less ADDish πŸ˜†

    Ah, Shutterbug! You made me guffaw!!! If I hadn’t seen your lovely av next to it I’d have thought that I’d posted that! As I’ve aged I’ve noticed that I’ve become worse, not better, with social situations. I really dread talking to people, especially if I don’t know them…building robots! Gawd, that is funny! People are like bloody robots! So predictable, so transparent!

    It’s just too much! Quizzical, I only just read your post, and that made me guffaw even more! I’m running late for an appointment, and Iwould love to read and post some more, but I really must head off or I’ll be in a tizz…

    Greetings and salutations ADHD wife! I’m a man in my late 20’s too, and…oh, I meant early 40’s, and anyway, oh okay, I’m almost 50…sheesh, yeah, the old flame-thrower tongue, eh? *grimaces* Even as the words were darting through the air the eyes would widen as the realisation that there’d be some impending collateral damage to contend with.

    Oh, let me hasten to clarify that the forum I’m a member of isn’t a porn forum! It’s like an anti-consumerist pro-literary, pro-philosophy mishmash full of cliquey bores. I was like a one-man band always fighting with ’em, and arguing the toss over everything just for the hell of it. I did troll a few of them too… 😈
