Wow, talk about perfect timing! I'm glad you went, had fun, and got out in time. I wish I could see your pictures but they aren't displaying for some reason. My wife's cousin owns a condo in PV and they

That entire area is nice. The Lake Superior Circle tour would be a fun road trip!

It is-and incredibly rare.

We’re lucky in that regard! Have you ever been north of Duluth? If not, id highly recommend driving up there to at least Lutsen. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Awesome that you two can get together like that

You're right—it is what it is. Many people who complain are wishing it to be something it's not. As someone who has tried almost every social media platform imaginable I can honestly say Hive is still

That's great you got to spend some time with your old friend! The contracting circle of friends you speak of is exactly what happened to me. My oldest friend got remarried and moved to Washington D.C.

Single digits is extremely low! I think so many Satoshi-era whales cashing in right now is seriously playing with peoples' heads. Wow, that shows how oblivious the dealership is. I got those messages from

Writing certainly can be thankless sometimes, other times it can be the most rewarding thing imaginable. It sounds as if these feelings are shared amongst many. It can be comforting to know others feel

My God, what a horrendous experience with BMW. Unfortunately that kind of customer service (or lack of) seems to be becoming the norm. I just engaged in a three week back-and-forth with the contractor

This makes me want to do a proper road trip! I really hope to make that happen when the weather breaks.

If anything, the pre-Pandemic challenges have driven me more towards Hive. Even with falling token prices and lower engagement this platform far outshines any others I'm on.

"Become a master of meaning..." Hmm, I'll have to think about that today. Social media is getting worse and worse. I think the algorithms have been what has killed engagement. The platforms have

I think it's gotten to the point where, if we don't engage with AI, we will find ourselves in a permanent underclass. Maybe not exactly people towards the end of their careers now but the younger generations

That certainly has been my experience with lessons learned—they're easily forgotten. : ) I had no idea we were the same age. It's probably a fairly common thing GenX'ers are going through right now. Our

Same here! What I miss most is just the unstructured, impromptu hang time of the pre-Pandemic days. I remember talking for hours and losing all sense of time.

I understand. It’s the very same way with us. We don’t really socialize with anyone anymore. People are either too busy, have moved on, or have become political extremists who just want to talk politics.

Back-to-basics is a good place to be—just trying to enjoy each moment as best you can. "You are the melody... You don’t walk along it as if it were a road; you are it unfolding. You are the path taking

That can definitely happen. I was jilted a little by the post yesterday and it surprised me. I started writing this post yesterday and had to leave it in draft form and step back because I could see it

I think so too—even when the writing doesn't lead to engagement or connection. Those last two things are definitely icing on the cake though.

This is such a personal decision. I'm glad we live in a time where not having children is more accepted—although the traditional stay-at-home mom is becoming more popular with American conservatives. I
