So my mom died a couple of days ago.
It's been a nightmare of trying to manage her care from 3200 miles away. She's had dementia for years and my control freak dad kept her in their condo in FL and refused over 30 years of pleading to move somewhere closer. They never really liked me obstructions to their life; it was clear I was always one.
My alcoholic brother died 4 years ago, my dad 2 years ago and now mom's gone. So I'm the tree node now.
I guess I've been too dependent on this collection of weirdos over the years to provide a sense of place.
I don't like most people anyway. Somehow, even before dad's passing, I got to a little bit of a cruise control about connectivity, it being completely absent on my side of the family, subject to my FIL rantings and rereretold war stories where it's clear that he's the only one that matters. Fuck the world of the self absorbed, but shit it feels alien so much of the time. Where's the flow?
I'm super lucky to have made good friends through this little eddy in the digital stream of the innert00bs. Peace, love, pow and Trans Send Dance, people.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Aw Buster. That sucks. I hope I get to ski with you this season, and I’ll bring a nice bottle of wine.

Holy shit, it's frozenwater. Glad to see you around again. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think we crossed paths at the Tahoe summit. And as much as I feel like an old timer, it has only been about 18 years since my first post on powmag after telenater convinced me to join. And buy some G41's.
Compared to some of you other old farts, I'm still just a kid.
Sent from my Pixel XL using TGR Forums mobile appI've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Sorry Buster. It's a tough thing but in a way it's a new beginning, I know you'll make the most of it. Welcome to the orphan club!
It's kind of funny, when all this started everybody ragged on me for being old. Now 20 years later it seems like most of the people are older than me. Yes I blame Rob Story of course but also it helps that I refuse to grow up and I'm sticking with that plan. Cheers you old fucks.

I third the Switzerland deal. I’ll be 50 in 2 yrs and am thinking about renting a cabin for at least a month. Fuck it.
Time to start living before you die.

Dying ain't much of a living, boy.
Buster I'd love to join you on an adventure or 3 but it's been hard to justify with the condo and a pass. It's been a good thing for a long time but I'm over it. I seem to be making some headway with herself on that deal. If we do that I would definitely be up for taking some trips like normal (and some Abby Normal) people do instead of going the same place every time.

Yes, condolences Buster.
I've met a lot of good people IRL, so I can't really relate to the negativity you have toward others. If you find a group of real people (and not internet personas) who like to do the same things you do in a constructive way, you'll collect some good friends along the way and be a lot happier. For me it's been the team sports I participate in, and a couple non-profits I'm involved with. Don't be afraid to give more than you get as the people who keep score in life are the most unhappy."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang
