All alone. I’m actually looking forward to as opposed to my dull everyday routine.
Dude. Thanks for your dating advice but you’ve been married like 40 years and no matter what bad movies and sitcoms and your kids’ gossip has told you about modern dating, you have no clue how horrific it is out here. You’re a total Ned Flanders. Superdad. Loving husband. And I mean that...
Great thread idea.
I’m reading a book on the communist revolution in China and it’s not my first journey into the subject. Regardless the mind boggling contempt Mao and Stalin have for human life genuinely moved me today. I’m usually detached and Spock-like reading about history. Today their...

Wish you luck. I know...
