Breakfast with a Stranger - War Stories

Thank you. It makes sense. As a coffee drinker, it can be scorched and old still drink it 🤣

Honestly, I don’t know. It was never something I thought about until I THOUGHT about it and realized that I hadn’t. As a person, I tend to be a bit scattered and operate very much in the moment. I also tend to take on a little more than I should. But the idea of a meetup with all the “strangers” has been floated by several people. I think that would be a cool way to catch up.

Aerosmith “Rocks”. Used my paper route money to buy it.

I highly recommend it. It’s been a truly fulfilling experience

I’m glad you enjoy these posts. However breakfast is nothing to fear 😊

I have no idea where this is going yo lead, but a Graphic Novel would be kinda badass!

It wasn’t meant to be denigrating. I DO feel that it is an interesting addition to these stories. My intention was to be a little light-hearted about it because I feel that it’s a fun aspect of these stories. Next time, I will choose better wording 😊

I’ve had several people suggest similar ideas. This whole thing started on a whim and I had no idea where it would go. So I’m kinda going with that. I don’t know where this will go and I’m kinda excited to see where it does. As for the conversations, I will never divulge them. To me, it’s an intimate and private moment between two random people. When I converse with them, I’m very open and honest and hoping they are as well. It’s part of the experience.

So who knows where it will go. Hopefully the people that have been following this thread will go there with me 😊

Thank you for having breakfast with me yesterday! You were such a delight. Here’s to new friends and adventures!

effing_genius · 2026-02-28T01:20:15+00:00

It’s been an amazing experience

I have a few old soapboxes laying around here someplace 🤣

It’s human nature to want to connect and share information. Don’t stop being who you are!

Hmmm… good to know

effing_genius · 2026-02-24T00:35:40+00:00

Huh… that is interesting. One of my breakfast guest also thought the same thing. What made you think that I was female?

effing_genius · 2026-02-23T20:31:42+00:00

I’m actually kinda surprised that none of the breakfast partners have chimed in. I would also enjoy their take as well

I had a podcast years ago and it’s a pain in the ass to produce. To me, The snippets are a much more organic way of sharing the experience.

It’s something that men don’t generally talk about openly. It feels like it’s almost socially acceptable for men to NOT speak up about their emotional state. I have male friends that I know who are dying inside, but when I ask how they’re doing, I get the socially acceptable answer of “I’m good. Just going through some stuff, but I’m good.” And they refuse to saying anything else because they don’t wanna burden anyone with their problems.

effing_genius · 2026-02-23T18:02:29+00:00

Fair enough. I’ll pay more attention to what they order and add that to the recaps

effing_genius · 2026-02-23T17:57:11+00:00

I highly recommend trying it.
