My enemy is myself

[BeyondShy]

How are you doing? How has your year been?

More importantly how have you been? It’s a real pleasure to talk to you again because I missed you last year.

I am doing ok. Just getting by every day and that’s about it.

My year has been fine except for the World Series.

I am sorry to disappoint you and TropicalStarfish. That wasn't my intention.

I actually had to go back and read what I wrote and all I said about her was that she was "self absorbed." i would bet that if she was around right now there is a good chance she would agree.

i really do hope she returns here in 2025 because she is a person whether you like her or not kept the forum going with her variety of topics. I would suggest that if anyone has contact with her away from here to encourage her to return.

I don't know if @TropicalStarfish was actually disappointed.

I think he was just making a joke about Seinfeld, since Festivus is tomorrow (I think, according to the lore).

Anyway. It's clear that you are trying to get better this time.
There will probably be some steps backward along the way, I know that's how it is for me, too.
But as long as you're sincere about getting better, and you're going forward overall, I think you'll be alright.
Keep up the good work

Yeah, maybe not. Although I am still trying to figure out how he knows me. I don't talk to a lot of people here.

I am sincere and thank you very much.

@BeyondShy I know you as the guy who comes back annually. I don't think your intention was malicious.

I do hope Old Ceno has moved on and beyond to better things than A Lonely Life, though..

I think we all want that, ultimately.

.... all I said about her was that she was "self absorbed."

Dude you’re not being honest; you also called her your thorn in your side, that she had to justify herself with attention and that she had no class. Please stop downplaying your condemnation of her. That thorn in the side award is just dumb, but I’ll be happy to wear it next time if it makes you rethink your next year’s return.

Planning for the big day

Ok, I may be exaggerating slightly but I do have to plan things out tomorrow to avoid the frustration of a lot of people and long lines. It is my intent to go to the aptly named Foodland tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. so I can get what I need and then go home. It’s a short list. Crab meat, shrimp, rye bread, cereal and beer. Root beer that is. I don’t drink alcohol and I’ve never had the taste for it. But at the same time I can hold my root beer.

Christmas Eve and day are not the same for me with both of my parents gone. To compare my Christmases today to the ones when I was a kid would be very unfair. But of course that’s what usually ends up happening.

But that will be enough about that because what this post is also about is for me hoping that wherever you are in the world be it in Europe, Canada, North or South America, Mexico, Asia, Australia or New Zealand I hope that no matter how you celebrate Christmas that it is a very good one. It is amazing that on this website there are people from all these places and that right there makes this place special.

Have a good Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
