The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Too little space is hard, but too much can be a problem too. Built this place with maybe too much storage. It's far too easy to shove things in the pantry, closet, drawer, or cabinet... Then organizing them becomes an absolute nightmare after it's been collecting for years!
I go through cleaning fits once in a while. A lot of useless "Why am I saving this?" stuff gets biffed.

The biggest problem is I have a lot of "Good" stuff too. Things that I find value in or have a future use for. I have a long list of projects and am always on the lookout for items for those projects. When a good deal comes by it gets snagged but it adds to the collection. A friend of my succinctly and correctly spelled out the problem "It's hard to do things without stuff and space". She is 100% correct and if your personality likes to make/build/fix things you need stuff to do it.

The last major hurdle was cleaning up left over lumber from the building projects. A lot of useful stuff saved for years, and now that the major stuff is done it's time to thin down the collection. First world problems, I guess...
Yeah I get it.

I just start feeling cluttered and what is the point of it. So I do a hard purge..... do I love it? have I worn it I a year? Does it fit? Did I forget I had it?

I have some painting projects I want to do too.... I just need to start fresh.
 
Key question ... do you wish you were working? Or do you wish you had a paycheck?

As a retired (mostly) person, I find there are always, ALWAYS things I could be doing. I un-retire for things I really want to do. Some of them even pay a bit of money. Others are "pay it forward" for some of the many random acts of kindness and service I enjoyed when I was a youth. A few are "things I enjoy that help people." And a few are random naughtiness I enjoy.
I miss the interaction with personal & communication of members worldwide
The money wasn't a problem because I was well compensated.
I did my job for 37 years & I actually enjoyed it
 
So, I wait until the very last day of 2024 to get my first cold of the year. :mad:

Had to, naturally, cry off the NYE party at our friends, especially as the host is undergoing treatment for leukaemia.

My wife offered to stay home with me but I told her that there was no point in us both missing it.

So, I shall see in the new year with a cup of tea and some painkillers!!

Roll on 2025!

That sucks and I am sorry to hear it.

there’s some nasty shit going round. Feel better soon. RSV and novovirus.

You inspired this awful awful joke/pun:
Perhaps you have the Swedish flu. It’s called the Volvovirus.

(That is THE WORST. ☝️🤪☝️🤪☝️)

I prefer

There's a virus that makes us forget 80s music and it's spreading fast.

No one knows the Cure

Love that! Every single day is an opportunity to start over.
 
I will be....


You answered one question for me. Thank you.


I just heard back from the medical guy on the paid study I'm doing. I'm a Novo virus guinea pig. I'm wagering I got the placebo. But I still had a wee episode and told them the truth. We agreed that it's probably a bug or a bit too much change in diet.
