I want a romantic night out, but I am currently single. Boo hoo hoo, sob sob sob, time for me to be a gay incel, or maybe I should just get out more instead.

Look positively at your situation. You have more time to work on you rather than to struggle interacting with others. Which more often than not, is in fact a struggle for so many of us on the spectrum.

Forgot to update but thankfully everyone is finally feeling healthy! (Knock on wood) Thank you to all who prayed and sent get well wishes! It meant SO MUCH to us!

I am glad that you are all well.

Thanks for the update. Lovely to hear that everyone is well again.

I'm going to spend the next six months learning the piano. Perhaps I can win a women's love with music. I'm completely willing to spend lots of time and money on this. I even bought an expensive new keyboard already.

I play piano and the pieces you get to play within that time period are fairly basic. Also, I haven't got any love for it.
Don't spend "lots of time and money". A teacher and 1 hour of daily practice should be enough, more than that it's unlikely to be of much more benefit.

@Trophonius How many hours of tutoring do you think I should get a week in addition to 1 hour of daily practice?

Also, I know it’s not certain but it will likely help.

1-hour lesson a week should be enough.

Congratulations to @velociraptor. Tomorrow will be the 23rd anniversary of his becoming sober! That's some accomplishment - a model for the rest of us.

Thank you, but it is 33rd. Sober date is Feb 15, 1992. :)

Oh no. I knew that, but somehow messed-up the basic math. Well, today is the day, so... Congratulations on 33 years!

Ever had this thing where it takes you a while before you're comfortable sharing words with a person you just met?
Xinyta
Xinyta
Yeah. I have that with most every stranger. I typically have little to say. Though there are some rare instances where I have little trouble. But someone I know, who know the stranger, has to be with me, for that to happen.

I just had the yummiest cheesecake ever!

I just had lemon cake. Cheesecake is good too. I usually have cheesecake for my birthday.

I've had some homemade Dutch Apple Pie recently. Though the past few days have been store bought cookies.

But yeah. Cheesecake is always delicious.

Ever get annoyed when the people living with you always leave a mess, because they know you'll clean it up?
Xinyta
Xinyta
I've had to do that for a time. When I lived on my own, with a roommate. He did nothing, no matter how many times I asked.

I think there were other sparce instances before that too. It is  very annoying.

I get annoyed when the cats flip over stuff and dump it out.
A. because of the mess
B. because I didn't have the stuff arranged so that wouldn't happen

Not always appreciating them pointing out that I could have secured the
stuff better. Not appreciating the resulting *opportunity.*
Xinyta
Welp. Today has been a boring day. We have been getting a wintery mix most of the day. Can't do much outside when it's cold and messy.

We didn't get alot of accumulation though. Most of the ice and snow melted as soon as it hit the ground.

Wintry mix. That's a mess.

We had fine textured snow today.
Will need to shovel the roof again tomorrow.
Xinyta
Xinyta
Yeah. That is always a hassle when you have more than a few inches of snow. Though, what's worse is getting freezing rain right after a good snow. The stuff is like a brick, when you shovel it.
Rodafina

A “wintry mix” is exactly what’s heading my way right now. There should be a thick glaze of ice over new heavy snow by noon. 😑

Ever show affection in an unconventional way?
tree

That doesn't seem like a question I can answer.
First I'd have to have a list of what the "conventional" ways are.
Judge

Conversely would that deemed "unconventional" be a synonym for that which might be some violation of law?

Like most of my peers in high school, we always got a chuckle out of school rules and regulations where "public displays of affection" were usually towards the top of the list.

I'm starting to de-google my devices. I'm a bit annoyed with some of Google's recent decisions and I think a bit of a recalibration of my digital dependencies is in order. I'm using an open source keyboard on my phone to type this and so far it seems pretty good :-)

A big part of Google's business model is to sell advertisements and to do that they need to track users. They were caught tracking users a while back, even those users that had switched off all tracking features on the user end. I believe they received a large fine for doing so.

Have you tried using an alternative OS such as /e/OS or GrapheneOS? They only work with certain phone models, but can be an option for properly getting rid of Android (most Android versions are proprietary Google flavoured platforms).
MildredHubble
MildredHubble
Yup. To be fair I had always suspected that they were doing that regardless of what options I had set. I have heard of GrapheneOS but I'm going to try that on my old phone maybe to see how well it works before I jump in with my other devices :-)

Making nachos, making baked nachos, I take a baking dish and fill it up with nachos, cheese, beans, and jalapeños, making nachos… maybe next will be bacon pancakes 🤪

I wanted to make a nacho dinner tonite, but they wanted something else. So l made a quick salsa and scooped it up with tortilla chips. Then l squeezed on Sriracha mayo on top to make it more ssinfulfor me.

I just heard a relative tell me not to go to a certain campground this summer because it is like a party with a lot of loud music and pot smoking and that would "make me miserable". Do these people really know me?

Maybe they've been watching too much Adam-12.

I've heard some similar rumours about the Glastonbury festival. I've heard everyone that goes there wanders around in a perpetual state of misery. They always seem so happy when it's over.

Back to the office now, my left wrist is still in some pain, maybe if I chainsawed off my left arm then my wrist would be the least of my problems.

I know Cupid is the symbol of love, but all I could think about is how messed up Cupid is from the myths (plus, he was called Eros to the Greeks).

All of the Greco-Roman "deities" are messed up...
