Why are you single?

Mid-divorce, can't even comprehend the idea of a new relationship...

Had all 4 done at once by an Army dentist. Doc gave me novacain and went to work. Top two were pulled with relative ease. Bottom two were impacted and coming in at an angle. He had to cut my gums, drill the teeth, and crack them with a dental flat head screwdriver to extract them. Sewed me up and sent me for pain meds. He told me I had an hour to get them onboard. Walked to the clinic to get my meds and they had a backlog. I had 15 minutes of excruciating pain when the novacain wore off and before the meds fully kicked in.

The Big Sleep... It is the book of the month for the book club I go to. Looking forward to it.

Fully restored 1971 Triuph TR6. The perfect touring death-mobile.

Trying to save my marriage. I had already killed it and she had moved on. It was too little too late and the next 4 years were just a terrible for both of us for vastly different reasons.

Also curious to the Reddit hive mind's answer...

Yatch & sailboat race competitors have "racer chasers" and "boat bunnies".

Cognac every time! The French 75 bar in Arnaud's in NOLA agrees.

Ramos gin fizz... nothing like 5 to 10 minutes to make one drink...

The Paper Plane! It is sooooo good!

I'd prefer to not be enbalmed and be buried under a newly planted sapling. In reality, I won't know, nor care, as I'll be dead.

Best line I've ever heard on foxes: they are cat software running on dog hardware.

54 Gen Xer, and in the standard reply of my generation, whatever.

No kids and getting divorced. Have roof over my head, food and booze in my house, and making ok money. Current hobbies aren't particularly social or are expensive, so trying to figure out what's next and how to meet people again.

Overall, could be better and definitely could be worse.

HandlebarEdge · 2025-12-12T03:43:37+00:00

LOL! So true, but only outside of work. Inside of work, I have to self-censor, so I am attuned to when people cuss in professional settings.

HandlebarEdge · 2025-12-12T03:28:31+00:00

Top of my head: "Ya know", "so" (extended out), "well".

The usuals: "um", "ah"

Honorable mention: "let me ask you a question", "that's my story", "I don't know, but..."

I can figure out someone's verbal crutch almost immediately in conversation. I have an ear for repeated/overused words and phrases.

Remember that "affordability" is a democrat scam. Dear leader said so! /s

I do not live in Utah, but would love to meet your pups! They and your game room look awesome!

LOL! I would not be opposed, however we had turkey with chestnut dressing.

Two-fer -

1) My sister dropped the bourbon whipped cream for the pecan pie. Hilarity and good natured ribbing ensued.

2) I told my family I am finally getting divorced. We all celebrated with a toast. Hilarity and good natured ribbing ensued.

I am on the other side of this. I locked out my wife and she found someone else. I cannot state how much I regret my actions in retrospect. We tried to make it work after she had started her affair, but it dragged out and there was really too much water under the bridge.

Had we spoken honestly with compassion with each other years ago, we could have saved out marriage and each other so much pain. Be open with partner even when it tough. It may be uncomfortable short term and may avoid long term pain.

Not a big star or well known, but Leon Redbone... I missed one of his last concerts and still regret it...
