skinsmarydu Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 ^^^ Y'all are so cute! Oh, and GO NAVY!!! Today was so dead at work...I waited on a grand total of 10 people. Went by Jersey Mike's to get a sub because it's their day of giving, 100% of ALL SALES go to local community charities. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Holy ****, y'all...I just looked outside and the neighbors put up their own cones to keep people from blocking my yard. Like I said, I know everyone's got a side hustle. I don't want anyone to die from this, tho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny story...LD's wife found a bracelet on Etsy, it said "**** Off" in morse code. Bought a bunch of em, gave 'em out to friends. Point was, you just rub it when you wanna tell someone to do that. Mine broke the other day, but I'm on the fast hunt for a few more. Worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can be bad with initials sometimes. Who's LD in this context? Also, I like it. Sounds like yours has gotten a lot of use. Might I point you to a perhaps cathartic metal song while you await the arrival of your replacement bracelet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 In about a fortnight, I will be living in a hotel around Princeton. What should I do, beyond propping my feet up on the AC and letting it blow on my junk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day close friend of mine was doing a bootcamp in Boston area, bored out of his mind. Told him send me his address and his hotel was across the street from MIT.

I feel llike I'm probably too old to be hanging out around a college campus. On the other hand, Neil DeGrasse Tyson teaches there. Maybe I can get him and his fellow professors/authors Strauss and Gott to sign my Welcome To The Universe book. Which, if you're interested in all that space-sciency stuff, highly recommended. I probably need to give it another read-through because I definitely didn't understand everything the first time through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it : ) I know me, and recently accepted my scars that have lead me to being as guarded as I am are jus too deep to heal properly. The damage is done and I'm spacy. Having said that, I respect that no matter what I do, there will always be someone smarter then me and potentially like-minded. And there's no telling what can come from conversations with people like that. Most of the few strongest decade-plus long relationships I have started on college campuses, met my Wife doing grad school together. Actively forcing myself to stay pragmatic and open-minded to networking, I just feel like LinkedIn is the new Facebook now, its embarrassing. Back in the day, visited a lady friend in LA and took her to doctor at USC...they aren't known for IT, but their IT library was still four stories high with top floor being a "have to be this smart to read these books" only and I geek'd out 🧑🚀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming, sports, painting, learning to play the Australian scrotum flute...local Y usually has a lot of pamphlets on classes, groups and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my current hobbies are incredibly male-dominated or solitary, plus I'm very much the introvert that on the rare occasion I do something like go out to a bar, I'll just order a couple pints and quietly drink them at the bar as I mind my own business. Maybe when I start my new job and move to Princeton I'll look at trying to get involved in the tabletop RPG scene or something of the like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might meet people ya like, and if not you'll at least be able to tell people "I can't, I have a yoga class" when you're trying to get out of going for coffee with people when you don't want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is my fitness hobby. And lifting weights, which I apparently so prefer to do in private that I've managed to put together a small home gym in my one bedroom apartment rather than using the free gym at my apartment complex that is one building over. I have considered picking up swing dancing, though. But just how many hobbies does one have time and energy to sustain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for how many hobbies, depends person to person obviously. I probly have way way to many...but then again I always find its too easy to make excuses to not do a thing, so I have a (possibly bad) habit of making excuses to do things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
