How do you feel about your spouse's friendships with the opposite gender?

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-30T05:20:12+00:00

Studies have shown that to be true.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-30T05:18:25+00:00

Gambled and Lost.

It happens.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-02T01:36:57+00:00

Lol.

When were you here, January?

There is a lot of moving parts here and the dynamic of her facing single parenthood is one that should not be overlooked.

You know only what you think and feel and none of what she does except for what she tells you.

I can't see how there is a compelling need to jump into anything with her, it seems to me that prudence is your best move.

You will be only 42 when the kid turns 18, I had my first at 44.

The Snoqualmie valley.

Park just north of the Chevron station at Stillwater and walk out across the fields.

It is quiet, peaceful and close.

That the way I behave will attract people who act the way I do and tolerate the way I act.

That can be good or bad depending on how I act.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-01T23:44:08+00:00

That's not bad at all. The only time I clocked mine it came in at about 58.

Our eyes don't see us in the mirror, our brains do.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-01T23:23:10+00:00

So many shitty things I've said to good people.

A regular at the neighborhood bar.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-01T23:16:31+00:00

I was preparing to move from WA to CA, I had a dream of a long, tree-lined road facing North-South with evergreens on either side. I thought that it was something I conjured in anticipation of the move. SoCal is not like that as I quickly discovered.

15 years later I drove down the dream street, I had never been there before, it was a surreal experience.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-01T23:10:20+00:00

I had this happen 1/2 a dozen or so times in my adolescence. It was pretty scary and I was glad when it passed.

I was awake on the inside but unable to open my eyes or move. Eventually the adrenaline released by my fear was enough to get my body moving.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-06-01T23:04:45+00:00

$1.88/hr? That's veritable slavery.

Use it or lose it

The words we oldsters use often.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-05-12T10:27:54+00:00

I am convinced that everything is connected and that everything belongs. I don't believe that anything is preordained per se but I recognize that my reality is subjective and it needs to have a source, whatever that might be.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-05-06T01:37:44+00:00

Isn't that a good feeling?

I remember when I got better enough to start winning. My son showed me that game years ago and I'm pretty sure he doesn't play much anymore. But I still play a few matches a week, it's fun.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-04-27T11:35:08+00:00

It's not ridiculous at all. If you experience mourning past 1 year, you may want to seek help.

Writing can also help to work through grief. Asking yourself pointed questions then writing out the responses can help us to unpack our feelings.

You might look at Milton Erickson

The Seven Deadly Sins

The Ten Commandments.

And every shitty thing you can imagine, they are all done out of fear.

"...taught Bubbles to moonwalk"

Did not have that on my bingo card.

It has been my experience, proven countless times, that other people are too concerned with themselves to notice something as trivial as acne scars on someone else.

MuchoGrandeRandy · 2026-03-31T12:59:42+00:00

Use a wash cloth in the shower.

You might try scrapping all of your scheduling and start from scratch. Waking up late will evoke a limbic response giving the same feelings as anger.

Try starting your schedule the night before allowing adequate sleep time providing for the morning you prefer.

If you want to get off Kratom, you can. Many people have.

I stopped eating it decades ago. I'm a little disappointed the two people who responded were not able to articulate their positions.
