I've walked by her twice on the street, most recently last week when she was on my block. Both times I didn't realize it until she'd passed by me. The fact that she was on my block made me happy. I wish I could have smiled at her and said hello.

I am in the same situation too. I have spent a lot of time in my life playing the guitar, and now it's sitting in the closet. I have no desire to play because at my age, it's unrealistic to think I could join a group. So practicing or even trying to write new music feels like a waste of time and...

I think it's fair to say that people always disappoint you in the end. For many years, due to my poor circumstances, I found myself surrounded by less than solid people, and every single one disappointed me. I used to have this friend who lives a block from me. Once she met her boyfriend she...

Thank you. I took the cat to the vet and they told me he was "ok." I was ready to put him to sleep but decided to keep going. It's hard to tell when it's the right time for that. I don't think he's happy but I'll keep going with him, giving him fluid treatments every day. I try to imagine life...

Cool video. I used to take guitar lessons from Alex Skolnick of Testament in the early '00s.

Hello, thank you ringwood, sunless, and sunflower. I will miss my cat. I love him. In time I'll look to get another one. My experience has shown me that animals can really help with loneliness. I really didn't mind being along all this time. While I'm not always in the mood to talk, it's not how...

The loneliness is with me all the time. Tomorrow I have a vet appointment and likely will put the cat to sleep. Then I will be at a new level of loneliness. Before I was ok with my cat, though he was suffering with kidney disease so it hasn't been fun for the last 18 months. So I work during the...

Yeah the last time I had friends I was doing a lot of drugs. Not real friends but there were people. Then I had some friends when I went to outpatient rehab. Now I don't have any friends or motivation to make any. It's been 7 years since I last used anything.

That's true. I have one now, but I don't think he has more than another week or two left. I think I've been managing well these past years being alone because of my cat. It only just occurred to me recently that the reason I wasn't too fazed being alone all the time was because I wasn't really...

Loneliness is bad for health. I worry that this lifestyle is going to prevent me from living a long life.

My mother is a difficult person as well. I try to just keep a relationship with her. I have to keep some opinions to myself, and avoid disagreeing with her, unless it's something important. It takes little to make her angry, and she doesn't like when I don't agree with her. So I adapt to her...

We can play heads up, you against me,

We can play HU if you can't find others to play.

I've been playing for 35years, but sadly the last 10 years I haven't played at all. Grew up in the 80's and 90's listening to metal and rock then got into jazz in my 30's. I took lessons with the guitarist from Testament for a while, before he rejoined the band. I'm going to get my guitars set...

My last cat, a British Shorthair, had the most exquisite fur, incredibly soft and beautiful. One of many reasons I love cats, especially the ones with a really soft coat of fur.

Quora is a pretty good site. I found this thread today about getting older and not knowing what to do. I often find myself not knowing what to do. I've spent at least half my life playing an instrument, and got pretty good at it. But I stopped playing about ten years ago for a few reasons. I'm...

For any of you in your forties or older, I found this thread interesting to read. There is an answer from "Chris Caballero" that got a lot of interesting responses. https://www.quora.com/What-is-life-like-at-age-45.

I've been planning on reading a book per month, because I hate the fact that I spend all my free time on the laptop with the TV. I feel like I should be doing other things, like learning a language, a skill, or music. So I just need to find the right book to get started. I'll read for 30-60...

This sounds terrible, but I love covid. I shouldn't say that because of all the suffering that's happened around the world. But when everyone else is "socially distanced" it makes me feel better about my natural social isolation. But the best thing of all is working from home. It started only 5...
