…might turn out to be something else, than you hoped they’d be during the acquisition.

For me it’s an alpaca poncho in winter – soft, light, very warm and comforting – rather expensive…

…and a fly swatter during the summer: serves faithfully and fearlessly, cost pittance.


Those, claiming that you can’t buy happiness for money, are just misinformed :)

So I'm noticing the older I get, the stronger my connection to my Native ancestry on my father's side which is having an impact on not only my behavior but also my taste when it comes to specific qualities in a partner.

The hilarious thing is, anytime I ever post something with regard to what I call "Native drives/desires", it never fails, someone with European ancestry that doesn't comprehend Native ways calls me "crazy"

Just 2 days ago some dude on here read the part of what I'm looking for in a partner, and he called me "crazy" for it; saying I need therapy and meds, simply because I don't want to hear about sex. I mean, when you're in a relationship that part is obvious. It's not needed for discussion, in the moments you're together you go with the flow. However, that subject is so over discussed, and I'm burned out on men that don't have the capacity to spend a substantial amount of time discussing something more deep and meaningful, instead of trying to get off on our chat/conversation. I'm not into that. Either do it, or don't; but discussing it like there's nothing else to talk about is pathetic and boring. I'm sapio, and talking about that really doesn't take much brain power (especially from what I've heard from men in the past or even those that wanna flash unsolicited c*ck pics ). My kink is being taught some ultra nerdy ish, or super spiritual higher dimensional techniques. If the subject doesn't benefit the growth of my intellect or consciousness - it's gonna bore the sh*t out of me.

So, I'm wonderin if this is some sort of rite of passage or something. It cracks me up. I mean, back when the colonials landed here, they were calling my Mayan and Dakota people crazy back then too. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, is all I gotta say. I am of my people. Grant it, I am mixed blood however, their influence is very much prevalent with me much more so than the African and Irish.

I was recently asked what dreams I had for the future. I answered dutefully something.
Then I started thinking about it and started to realise that I have no dreams, I only have projects!
I will list my projects below.
If I was 30-40 maybe it would be a relevant question but at 57 and with only around 15 more years to live, not so.
I have done what I wanted to do and the results are now only a burden. All day long I work with a job I don't really like any more, but I can't resign since it's my own company. The company is difficult to sell even though it has value it requires a lot of work to take over for someone else.

My projects:
1 Sell my properties and move out of the country and buy a house with some land in mild climate.
The land I only want because I don't want any close neighbours. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life pulling weeds, watering flowers and cut grass to impress neighbours.
2 Buy an old American car and drive around in it.
3 Watch the sea and mountains on my porch and finnish writing my book at the same time.
4 Find someone who will bring me a glass of cold lemonade once in a while and join me looking at the view.
5 Write an testament before it's to late
6 Not fight to much when they carry me out in the coffin!

Weekends and YouTube were made for each other watching videos of famous (usually wealthy) people who have collections of classic or hard to find 'things' as rarely someone with money only has 1 or 2 of something.

Eric Clapton had a few dozen guitars, mostly of sentimental value, but some were really classic. Many were sold at auction to raise money for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. I recall the 1956 sunburst Fender Stratocaster used on the recording "Layla" fetched a half-million to an anonymous bidder.

David Gilmore (Pink Floyd) has an awesome guitar collection.
Joe Bonamassa cornered the market on vintage tweed guitar amplifiers.
Keanu Reeves has a warehouse where he stores his prized motorcycles
Drummer Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick) filled a warehouse with drums of all years and flavors.
Brian May (Queen) is obsessed with VOX model AC30 guitar amplifiers, all in perfect condition. His stage setup is at least 6 amps that get checked often and there is always a few backup amps that go on tour in the event of failure.

My instrument collection at it's peak was only 5 guitars and bass guitars. 4 sets of Uilleann pipes. The pipes are gone and 6 guitars/basses are scattered around my condo.
I'm left-handed and salivate when I see a left-handed instrument come up for sale.
One internet based store sells good quality imports usually from South Korea. Before COVID, they had lots of stylish models for under $400. Inventory dropped off and now the new stock instruments are nearly double in price!

Focus (read: obsession) for me now is model helicopters and I've lost count to the number I own. I have 3 of a favorite model as they often sell out and it's months before new inventory and parts are in stock. They are (by some standards) cheap to be in the under $400 range.
Referenced by the blade length 330mm is a comfortable size for me.
I recently bought one that has 550mm blades. Extreme performance, hefty price tag.
They say "Bigger is Better" and I say "I won't be retiring this year"

Earlier, I invited military veterans to share with the Readership short anecdotes of their life in the military, excluding the traumatic and particularly ones involving graphic death. Those deserve their own fora, and places of honor. This is not about me, but I will contribute from time to time.

What a site. See cat videos of funny cats, weird cats, cute cats clumsy cats and cats that act so human on 2 legs it is scary. Travel the world with folks. Get to know channels with someone you like. And get hooked on side bars so you waste the whole blasted day going from thing to thing you didn't even know of interest.
You can find info on how to fix that toaster, change oil in your car, or if that product is junk.
And then the real danger. DIY videos! You can learn how to take dollar store junk and combine into..junk. Take apart a cardboard box and make..a fancy cardboard box.
There are DIYs that one needs a lab, or workship with forge or foundry. And then the ones that do crafts that have been around for a century that one ignores.
UNTIL..there it is in a video.Do I NEED more projects. NOoooooo! But! I have cast in concrete for decades. Any plastic pastry container or other can cast concrete stepping stones. Molds exist to make statues. But, I ran across cement draping. Make a fancy flower planter. Soak cloth in portland that is runny, drape over form built of whatever. Then more videos. Yep, add sand for strength..how do the ones without hold up? Then onto using quickset mortar to sculpt. Videos in Asia of guys who create life size sculptures and scrolls on walls..free hand! So now I am making concrete stuff.
Ran into tissue paper flowers. And paper and coffee filters. I already have a vase filled. Addictive!!! ARGH! Must....make...roses.....roses...
Do not watch u tube. It is addictive. And instead of house work, yard work and those projects already on that to do list..you will find new ones.

Well that was a surprise, in England they sell sweets next to the checkouts, I've just been to my local pharmacy and what have they on promotion next to the checkout.. CBD oil.
