Do We Still Do Friends Here? ( Archived) (13)

I bought some glasses and grew a beard since the last time I was here - pre-Certification Of Vaccination. I also returned home as I promised to many here I would do. It just took me two years to accomplish it. Some of you were complaining about my doppelganger Gibson in my profile photo... well, I got myself the use of a camera (in the land where I can speak the local language) so you'll all have your moment of cringe. I hope you will enjoy it.

I have unpacked and settled, as best I can to return my attention to my novel. It will have been three years in March 2023 when I packed up my research materials and sat them at a freight forwarder while I waited until August 2020 for a plane to take off. Take off it did and it has only taken me until 15 November 2022 to land in a place suitable for living. Well, the heating system still needs a lot of work to be honest because a heated steam bath is no place for my library in winter. I am not yet ready to shave off the Asimov - my promise to myself when I truly get to work. Locals probably won't recognize me then. Watch for that photo in a post office near you soon.

Now where are my friends? I remember one WitchyWitch.... and I had a few other intrepid souls. But I cannot find this feature any longer. Has there been an upgrade here in the last 3 years? Or perhaps my friends here died? Or perhaps I died and this is some form of hellish Twilight Zone that has me forever trapped on a singles site, friendless and loveless?

Maybe someone here au courant will elucidate me? Maybe someone will even say 'Lo?

My profile needs work because of the changes so watch this space as 2023 approaches.

I remember your face. You gotta pop over to blogs to see itchy.
She's probably happy to see a decent guy resurface so come on over
and say hi.



Just click BLOGS op on the menu left of FORUMS.

Hey, you're my first interaction here in .... a long time. It is comforting to be re-welcomed by strangers. I am experiencing the same thing in real life. "Real life" Is that still a thing these days?

Thanks for directing me to Itchy. She's a swell.

So I still have a chance then!

You're a funny bloke!
By the way her username now has changed to celticwitch and she hates me atm
but then again, who doesn't
Hey did they reinvent the real world? Johooo!!!

I know a girl in the area that wants me to be her lover but only if I can text her my affection. It was the same as I travelled Europe. Chicks line up at the bar for a quickie but too emotionally unstable for a relationship. And by relationship, I do not mean Facebook. Seems I am the odd man out. I can still get a leg over and enjoy the objectification of women, whether it is money or my beard and glasses that attracts I won't say, but to actually engage is a needlessly complicated mess.

This affliction is epidemic I notice. I assume it may be the same for the gents, but I can only assume. I have no experience dating men, though myself am dated.

I have a business idea. You and me start a site for matching Polakka chicks with Norw men.
You bring the girls, I bring the guys

"I got the brains, you got the looks. Let's make lots of money!" lol

I will have to change my name to Alfonse, and start to wear outrageous gold chains and rings that spell words on my knuckles. What should we charge: 3rd hour free seems the going rate. How about $0.10/hour? Or would that be too much?
