The Cozy Corner

[Nylonian]

One nerdy thing that I do is when I’m watching an old B&W movie or program on TV, I’ll look up on IMDB to see who is still alive.

Hey I do that too!

 

[Nylonian]

Like a dartboard of course

Classy AF.

 

[CarlyAnn]

Of course see e we can.... This site and this thread seem to be conducive to it

Then:

Darts
Sports
Music
Movies
More but my brain is stuck in Park

I didn't add cooking, whisky and Russian bus stops to my list.

Yes. Russian bus stops.

I went on a Russian bus one and it kept randomly stopping.
I asked the driver what was wrong with it and he said it keeps Stalin.

 

[Dayhoosier]

So mine....I asked but didn't tell
Ultra running and especially weird races whether I've entered them or not
Basketball
Education pedagogy etc
Certain literature but especially like the lot of read repeatedly
MCU especially as archetypes and story structure (much to my children's chagrin)
...and I don't know if this counts but listening to people talk about their interests ...I love it the way they light up and get excited and you get educated in the process!

I am gonna make sure you're chained up on Moron Mountain signing autographs if you don't hush it Katie!

Been watching the Artemis II launch all week, checking in every night, last night i really liked one of the questions:
If you could go back and give your 10 yr old self advice, what would you tell yourself?

Anyone care to weigh in?


My answer; the world tells you that you need to be successful… but figure out who you are fist, then decide what you want to do… P.S. pursue massage therapy then go in the navy…

Id say you aren't what they say you are...you're better. You actually are worthy of good things.

Beyond the obvious (buy apple stock and live happily ever after) being ina relationship won't make you happy. Find happiness first, then find a relationship.

Younger me would have scoffed at advice from older me anyway

Actually said nothing. I can't say things have worked out badly and I don't really listen to advice which has worked out for me so I would have kept quiet

I agree, I probably was a little shit as a 10 year old so wouldn't have listened so other than stock and betting on improbable future sporting fixtures, nothing.

So maybe you should go talk to the ten year old me! Lol

Watch out for his left hook, it’s a killer.

Ok - Good morning, Part Deux!

So, i actually thought this very same thing when i heard the question being asked to these astronauts.
My thought was, why does anything wise need to be said, they are pioneers, they are actually achieving their dreams…

But as i thought about it through the night, not everyone has the same thoughts or experiences… so i thought i would post it here… but i kind of resonate with tour response as well.
