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

Good morning all...haven't lurked around in here in a bit. Like being the young'n for once. Hope everyone has a good week and have weekend plans..I'll run. as much as possible. Next race only a few weeks out and so much going on.

*Raises coffee mug* to Saturday
Hey Hoosier. You always got a home here!

Have a great weekend.
 
Good morning OM and others lurking about.

Yesterday was warm (80F) and breezy. Lots of pollen meant allergies! But that was offset by a fun morning with my granddaughter and then lunch with my GF.

Unlike Lilli who has a trainer or OM who runs miles, I rediscovered the best cardio workout with my GF. It’s a lot more fun 😉
That’s the funnest cardio workouts! Sounds like a great day on all fronts!
 
Yesterday was taking forever… and it was stacked w meetings. I was working from home so decided to cut out and get the paperwork done for my new Springfield Armory 1911. Good looking handgun. Paperwork should be processed today.

Then we went to our really fun neighbors for dinner. Had a great time. Probably drank too much. Listened to punk rock and had a great time. Fun nite.

We had a pretty good thunderstorm yesterday around midday yesterday.

Off to the farm today.
 
I also hired a voodoo priest.

Between my scaredeer and the voodoo, we should be rid of them in no time!

Now, how do I get rid of the FUCKIN VOLES! My backyard is in tatters.
You need the right dog! My brother had one that could find them an dig them up. There were no rodents around with him.
Here! I goggled it for you.
"Several terrier breeds are known for their ability to hunt and eliminate rodents, including Jack Russell Terriers, Cairn Terriers, and West Highland White Terriers. Other breeds like Dachshunds, Rat Terriers, and German Pinschers are also effective ratters."
He called his dog a mouser!
 
Morning and a good Saturday to all! Got the yard mowed and man…it was still in the 80’s and muggy🥵. Had to cut it short. Knock the rest out today. Watched a quirky movie way too late last night, Companion. AI type thing (think an updated Bladerunner vibe) and slept in a tad this a.m. So will get started way too late and probably be back in the heat…it ain’t supposed to get this humid till late June. 😡

Some more North Fla MZ…did I post this one? Feels like I did…oh well…

I kinda made a special friend on Lit. She's the most fun person I've spoken to/met (even if online) in a long while. She's honestly ever so lovely.

she even said she'd like for us to get together. It felt special, not sleazy or nasty.

we had a pretty deep chat the other night and I shared a ton of stuff about me that she was super nice about. It made me very happy. She isn't evne a million miles away from me and I asked her about meeting IRL and she seemed up for it (obviously there are safety issues to consider).

So why the hell am I so scared she won't want to actually go trhough with it? I feel that, after waht I told her, and her being so sensitive and expressing an interest that it was almost a fait accompli. But i feel that, if she does change her mind, or if i've grossly misunderstood, it would break my heart.

I would respect any decision she makes and I hope I'm just getting my knickers in a knot for no reason. There's no real answer to this ofc. Whatever happens is whatever happens....

You have to keep in mind that this place. It's based upon fantasy and things that people don't open up about in real life. When fantasy becomes real life or vice versa, it can be a challenge. It can be unnerving as well as sometimes too real for people. Keep in mind that This isn't real life. You'll see people. Referring to it all the time, how real life got in the way. But as long as 2 people can connect on here, and they feel the same way even as they're talking in. DM you have to consider whether it's worth taking a chance and maybe finding happiness. Or even a little happiness or just keeping it here, knowing what you have without having to face reality or real life. People meet in different ways. Now, compared to years ago, there are no set of rules. There is no special book or answer. Only you 2 can decide what the answers are. We can recommend or suggest things, but it's not our lives. Only you can decide whether it's worth it both of you together.

IMO, dating and meeting up is a bit of a crapshoot. I’ve met a couple people from lit and IMO, it’s just best to go slow, meeting a neutral, highly populated location, and just see how it goes.

The other person might show up, they might not. You might have a great time and want to see each other again. You might feel that there is zero connection.

I think you’re pretty heavily invested already so if it doesn’t work out or she doesn’t show, you might get hurt.

My sense of it is: go in with his neutral expectations as possible. If it works, great. if it doesn’t work try to keep your heart and emotions in check. (I know, easy for me to say).

Good luck!!!
