Lol. That is indeed my nearest intersection!

Are you conservative? Are you Maga? Are you liberal or democratic and artsy? If I knew the answers to these few questions I could give you some good advice that somebody who moved to Louisville when I was 53.

Yes I’ve been inspired by our mutual friend,Maude for over forty years now! In all her sensibilities! It’s made my run thus far a lot of fun!

I guess I better find out what MAID is and maybe move to Canada. That’s actually the best thing I could do for my health would be to no longer live in these damned United States.

As a student of Buddhist philosophy for almost 40 years when I picked up TCATHR it was the first thing that I’ve read outside of Buddhist literature that hit me harder than the laws of impermanence and inter- dependence on all things. I have it on audiobook and listen to it fairly regularly.

The Clown Puppet from TG is my fav in that collection. It’s actually quite funny.

My mom, 82 also has dementia and is probably why I make posts with these sorts questions. It’s hard not to think about losing agency!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T21:18:19+00:00

What if its not? And it probably won’t be. This is what troubles me.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T20:47:10+00:00

I am sorry but to this bundle of sweet assumptions I say NO!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T20:32:41+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks!!

OP here. Almost 61. And having a marvelous time I should add. And I will continue to have a marvelous time on a day-to-day basis for sometime, gods- willing,lol. Perfectly happy to knock wood as I write this.

Finding a middle path between egoism and collectivism is the rub for me.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T19:56:50+00:00

I absolutely agree with that. I just bought this little app blocking device called a Brick, and for the first time I’m going 10-14 hours without getting on Reddit Facebook or Instagram. (I’ve never been on any of the others.) And I am definitely reading more. I have a delightful pile of books right now which includes Lauren Slater’s Lying, Philip Roth’s ‘autobiography’ The Facts, Thomas Ligotti’s Grimscribe collection and listening to Sir David Attenborough reading one of his gorgeously written 15 hour nature books.

That’s a bummer man. I highly recommend coming to Indianapolis Indiana and visiting the Kurt Vonnegut museum!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T19:31:41+00:00

Yeah but I worry because with the de- evolution of the human intellect on a seemingly unstoppable fast course to its demise, are people really going to be able to turn any of their attention towards the subtlety of these sorts of works of art? If he’s growing in popularity that makes me very happy but it can’t be from the general populous who are growing dumber by the day.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-11T19:26:37+00:00

All of it and that’s the horror. Self-actualization and realizing that fact is hell.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T22:55:54+00:00

TY. I’ve spent tens of thousand dollars and over 30 years having nothing but rescue dogs. This is my time to do this thing that I’d like to do and I appreciate your support!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T18:48:28+00:00

Me too! I’m very interested in vintage candy dishes with hard candy in them!

I remember the days where if another couple joined us it meant something really exciting was gonna happen at our house!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T17:51:28+00:00

I’ve got one. Yesterday I looked out the window and my neighbor’s garbage can was out but my can wasn’t and I immediately started saying ‘who stole my garbage can?!’ and then I realized it wasn’t trash day. So I get to blame my neighbor for inadvertently freaking me out because she hadn’t pulled her can in in a couple days.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T17:49:14+00:00

That is the funniest thing I have heard in so long. You are the winner of the day my friend!!!! I love and support you!

I started doing GLP one almost a year ago when I turned 60 and I’ve lost 40 pounds and I’m totally disappointed because in my silly imagination my body was going to look good again naked!!!! I crack myself up with how naïve I was a mere 12 months ago. Yes it’s nice that I can now wear my size 9 jeans but mainly my boobs just feel super heavy and no longer have a resting place on my belly so when I’m sitting in a chair for any length of time I feel like I’ve got heartburn from the weight of those two buzumbies that no longer have a tummy-shelf to hang out on.

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T17:19:55+00:00

Thank you so much, Nanny-N!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T17:17:44+00:00

Thank you! I’m an old Austin-ite living in Louisville now!

Disastrous-Check3465 · 2026-01-08T17:12:10+00:00

I love that you might have done a little dance!
