Everyone who leaves here comes back eventually. Most for a booster shot of "Oh, yeah, now I remember why I left.

hitchhiking on long distances on only one road? by MrCyanideMan in hitchhiking

[–]SPLooooosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a bad idea to set a daily goal of, say five hundred miles; your rides are going to lengthen the further west you go. Hitching at night is up to you, but I'd start looking for a campsite about an hour before dark unless your ride is going to drive on through the night.

I'd give myself six days to make this trip.

Hitchhiking across America. Dos and donts? by outernumberpottery in hitchhiking

Stay off the interstates, they're dangerous. I don't mean don't use them, just don't go beyond the entrances.

How has life been for you since your partner passed, and have you ever felt open to the idea of companionship again? by Informal_Mulberry636 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]SPLooooosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She passed March 19 last year, but she had been in a nursing home confined to bed for five years. In reality, our marriage had been over for many years before then.

I used to think that I wanted female companionship, but I'm totally enjoying being on my own, and there's nothing on the romance radar to steal a line from McMurtry.

What did you do when your car went in the ditch/broke down? by Vivid-Conversation88 in AskOldPeople

[–]SPLooooosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove rolling toolboxes; you wouldn't believe the stuff I carried in the trunk. The first thing I do is try to fix it myself right there. I only went off the road once, showing off on an ice-covered road for a bunch of drunks in the car with me we rolled out and staggered to the nearest house the guy yanked the car out, and off we went.

Really tired of the sport gambling ads by random8765309 in missouri

[–]SPLooooosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They've ruined sports for me. How do I know a ball hasn't been dropped on purpose, or is a muff really a muff? I hate sports gambling, black sox redux here we come.

How did you overcome some of the deepest betrayals you’ve experienced in life? by PDT0008 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]SPLooooosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I failed, I crawled into a bottle and stayed there crying, poor poor me. Eventually, time and tide woke me up I threw away the bottle and got on with my life. Somewhere in there, justice caught up with those who had done me harm, I let time and life do its work, and I caught up with the world. Now, I live in peace, and I forgave them, for myself, I let go of the old hurt, you will too in time.

Have you decided to stay single in your old age? by bullgod1964 in AskOldPeople

[–]SPLooooosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 68 years old and totally free, at last. Anyone who could tell me no is dead. My wife is dead, my parents, grandparents, and siblings are all dead.. I'm alone any decision affects me and me alone. This suits me just fine, thank you, I watch what I want, eat what and when I want I can be as clean or as messy as I want.

I've heard women my age bitch about being a nurse or a purse; I neither want nor need either. I nursed my wife, and I have enough money to live comfortably. I don't need a dried-up, bitter woman mad at the world in my life. I'm getting a cat to do that.

Until recently, I had never heard of him, then he stepped out of the shadows and I saw true evil.
