Different preferences but same reactions. My favorite thing was to jump in my car in Lancaster PA and hit a highway and just go anywhere I wanted...all day. Eat at new places, drive along the waterways, go into Baltimore and see the Chesapeake...whatever. I loved to drive more than anything. Here, you can't go over 45 in any direction. There's only two highways coming into our area and both have enough traffic lights to choke a dinosaur. It takes over 40 minutes to reach a point where you can just fly. Oops! did I say that?
You could co-pilot couldn't you? Then if you had an attack, someone else could be in control for the time it took. But, as you say, money is an issue in everything. Maybe they would split the cost with you if you could find someone who wanted it as badly. And my avatar makes me smile...every day I see it. My other one did too. It is in my Fav under My FP's. It's the one about nobody puts baby in the corner.
I'm sure you do. That kind of freedom would be hard to give up. I guess you can't because of the problems we have discussed. I think it's ok if you talk about your life and if pain is a part of it, then it just is. But a lot of people dwell on it and you and I know the difference. Intelligent people get it when you mention it. Pain is pain. It's hard to misunderstand and immediately, people are compassionate.
It was such much more fun when it was AnOldCowhand, SilentWing and me working together and just sending stuff everywhere so fast we couldn't count it. Those were the days. But, as far as collectibles go, those days are gone. Silent Wing is out of it and I refuse to beg anymore, nor will I send a FR anyone just to get their extras. Never did. Some people just lose sight of the fact that it is about them, not us.
I hope those attacks don't come so often they wear you down emotionally too. You are too great a guy. Yes, for me the sucky part of collectibles is over. I stepped down yesterday from the cut-throat begging. I may ask my really good friends who have a bunch, but I'm damn if I'll give new friends a list of names and tell them them to friend them and then beg. And!! Not even give them a c'ball for their efforts! Then, on top of that, claim responsiblity when I finish someone's collection. There are generally a lot of people responsible for getting a whole collection done. Especially now, when we are working people who have nothing. I will continue to gift, but if someone sends me something, that's their decision. It's good to see you have a clean house, so nobody will bother you. I will get back to loling and messing around soon. I did one today of AnOldCowhand. I know you got to know him.
Sherman is very beautiful. I know how you miss him because you know I miss mine. If you submit his picture to scoobysoo, who is a good friend of mine, he will do a candle for him. It might be a month away, but it'll get done. He loves doing it and I just submitted Muff, my first dog that Jimmy killed.
