I am just such a jerk sometimes. I really cant believe I used to blog on several blogs almost always at a minimum of several times a week, and now its lucky if I update one or the other every other month. With pages on Facebook, Twitter, Multiply, Blogger, Yammer, MySpace...jeez, i can't be so fractured in my attention!
I used to blog almost daily on Yahoo 360, but those idiots practically forced everyone to leave, and now the Yahoo experience is, well, crappy, IMHO. Sort of like how AOL was the rage back a decade ago, and now is so blah, I don't know hardly anyone using AOL.
I recently found out my mom was still on it for like $26 a month (for dial-up-yewww) and so i got her signed up with the phone company DSL for under $10 a month, undoubtedly a rate subject to change.
Anyway, i decided I need a blog t6o talk about what I want, and the multiply space has become so dominated by political stuff, i decided to resume blogging here awhile.
What do i talk about? Do I share the fact that since turning 60, my honey has started working only 3 days a week, and on those 4 day weekends doesn't accomplish much. And whats up with going to bed at 7:30??? I work a full time job, and routinely go to bed between 10:30 and 12, but then I am only mid-50ish. But 7:30???
I decided a while back to discontinue talking about my lack of sex life, except to simply state the obvious...menopause has a down side..
Well, if that is taboo, what am supposed to write about? My internet friends that don't bother to write me any more? Maybe.
I have one friend, he used to stay in touch all the time and now he never bothers to sent me any notes...he knows who he is, because I know he reads my blogs...there are the people that used to write me often on Yahoo, many of whom were in into s&m, bondage, etc...not my cup of tea, heck i even got into a sort of dispute with some of them over that...but we are still friends. Well i guess we are, I haven't heard from any of them in awhile.
How about Christmas, should I talk about that? I got a lot of stuff, but at my age who needs more stuff?? I got several clothing articles, and i really like the velour pants and hoodie i got, so much so i went and bought a couple of others. I predict these will be like leisure suits were back in the day, and people will wear them everywhere...oops, too late, already happens...hey, and while I am at this line of thought...why do people in their 20's like to show off their fat so much. My nieces do it, I guess having a "muffin top" is supposed to be cool or something. Or whats up with wearing clothes that are too small?
I know how my parents must have felt when they saw men wearing miniskirts...
The biggest thing on my mind is the future...will our house every come back up in value, so we can sell it and move? What if I lose my job? While a remote possibility, I am always cognizant that its there. What if my pension goes bust? I lost a crap load in my 401k when the market went bad, but since that forced me to pick different investments, I have maybe recovered some. I trusted my broker years ago to buy GM, what a bummer that turned out to be. I generally now only pick companies I know something about.
Well, its closing time here at the woe- is -me lounge..
