He didn't say which reclining seat, now that I think about it...
Whatever fate has befallen you, Mr G?

Perhaps you've already said and I've missed your post.

I fully understand that you might not wish to elaborate so, if that should be the case, my apologies.

No apologies needed, Kind Carruthers.

I'm just a little reticent in discussing medical/personal matters. I may discuss it at some point in the future.

It's looking like 2019 may be repeating itself, in part anyway. 2019 was NOT kind to the ol' Gravdigr. I've been to more doctors since early 2019 than in my previous 50 years combined.

Srsly.

ETA: Cabin fever is receiving top priority, atm. I mean, I love these ppl and all, but, we need a break from each other.

Like the rest of us, it depends on the fickle finger of fate.

She was being raised about 3 miles from where I was being raised up until I was 11 years old. Even if I had met her back then; however, I wouldn't have had a chance with her. The 3 year age difference at that stage of life would've done me in.

I'm sympathetic to Gravdigr here; 2019 and early 2020 was a rough year for my own health -- major surgery and appreciable period of rehab. Way more X-rays the last sixty-eighty days than the whole rest of my life put together, along with the odd ultrasound, angiogram, and MRIs of everything short of my head. Whee. Followup appointment with my heart surgeon tomorrow a.m. That end of things actually looks pretty good from here, I hope.

I would love America to be great. I just think maybe I have a different definition of my great. In my great, America would be a country where you didn't need to be rich to get good healthcare and good education or afford healthy food, a country where those who are "differently talented" can still work an honest 40 hours in one job and make enough to live on. I'm fine with people being rich. I'm fine with wealth buying fancy houses, vacations, fast cars, meals in restaurants, luxury private rooms in hospitals, golden unicorns to piss on you to realign your chakras..... These are not life necessities, I'm ok with poorer people going without them. But when those who need help with their mental health are homeless and hungry and families have two parents working 2 or 3 part time jobs each to try and keep their family afloat but end up with no time to cook healthy meals even if they could afford the ingredients or eat together as a family ...the country they are in is not great. I'm not ok with that.

I know this is kind of political, but I'm not meaning/wanting to start a debate about it. I know it's naively stated and idealistic. I just wanted to say it because it's bugging the fuck out of me.

Sounds like a good goal to me. Everyone has a home to go to at night where they can sleep safely without hunger or sickness. A first world country.

Of course in a free country there will always be some who won't want that and if forced it's no longer a free country, but it sure would be nice if they were offered the choice.
