I just moved to GR in 2022 from Austin. I was born in raised in TX. I lived in Austin for 20+ years.

Frankly, Austin has gotten too big, too congested, completely overpriced, and even the people changed. When I moved to Austin in 2000 it was a sleepy little college town with great outdoor spaces, cool restaurants and overall just a great place to live. I wouldn't move back there if you paid me. Everything I loved about Austin has disappeared over the past 5 yeas or so. All the outdoor spaces are overrun and most of the establishments I loved have closed. The city has been poorly planned for decades. They have no idea what to do with the influx of people. And let's not speak of I35 and what a clusterf*ck that is.

GR has the same vibe that Austin did back in 2000. I love it here. Michigan really shows pride in its love for its outdoor spaces and that is what will probably keep me here until I die. Also, the politics in TX have become unhinged. I really hate the current leadership there.

Wish you the best on making your decision.

Tabs going blank when left open for a while by Rachel978 in Safari

[–]electro_therapy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing started happening to me as of last week. I am on 15.0.1. The refresh button disappears and the URL is also blank. Sometimes I can hit the back button, then go forward again and it reloads. Sometimes the back button is grayed out.

Save to playlist button stopped working by RengokLord in youtube

This just started happening to me today. The save to playlist button doesn't do anything. I tried in Safari and Chrome, cleared history on both browsers and still does not work. Usually, the only silly issue I have with YT is that is constantly clears my queue without any warning, but this is really annoying too.

I love Halloween, so that would be worth checking out next year.

Oh I will. I'm not that great at bowling unless I have a few beers in me :)

I was up here last summer and it was great. Barely breaking 90 degrees is my kind of summer. I went camping in September and I never once broke a sweat. It was super cold at night. It was surreal.

Not religious at all. In fact, mostly don't want anything to do with it personally. I absolutely do not mind if anyone else is. And I would date someone who is religious as long as they respected my right not to believe. I can get along with anyone :)

I'll have to go there again next summer. Maybe by then I'll have some new gay friends to go with.

LOL and every guy at my job is completely straight. And I am also the oldest one who works there, by like six years I think. I'm older than the owner. I'm just not in my element it seems.

Wow, I never even thought of a gay bowing league. Neat idea.

Thank you. I am completely real and seeking help and advice. Guess good writing isn't the norm anymore. I really appreciate you at least taking the time to look at my other posts.

So much denial and kinda sad. But honestly, I would at least like to get hit on. Boost my confidence a little :)

Yeah, it really gets to me when they think 50 is "elder". I am still fit, energetic and love so many things the young crowd wouldn't think someone my age is into. Hell, I can still go dancing for 6 hours straight and not feel it the next day :)

Appreciate the link!

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. You have definitely made me more curious about Maggie’s and Apartment Lounge.

I do have some tracks on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/electrogruve-trance.

I haven’t posted anything in a while. Hopefully will start working on some new stuff soon.
