x Of course aliens exist and I talk to them on the internet all the time. That's what I used to tell this kid I used to know. Then I'd tell him about the ICEd kids. "Alien" isn't a very nice word to describe refugees, but it's even worse when you use the adjective "illegal" first. Of course...

That's my solution. She doesn't understand what I say well enough to be traumatized or offended by it, so I can tell her anything and she'll think I'm clever and interesting. But she also works as a canary in a coal mine to repel people I don't want to interact with and attract the ones I do...

Welcome! Greyhound would be enough to turn anyone off to the idea of low-budget travel. I'm glad you are willing to keep trying. I have fond memories of Florida (hitchhiking in the early '80s) but it did not strike me as a good place to grow up in and never leave. I'm undoubtedly old enough...

They aren't cats. I just take my beast into the tub or shower with me, the same way you would a very little kid. She's never been afraid of getting wet and I think she kind of likes the snuggles. The vet says every week is fine. She gets dirty. I use Earthbath Oatmeal shampoo, but my dog is...

Welcome here and you're making total sense, little brother. I had my own dark night of the soul and was fortunate enough to meet some great people who were a little bit further down this path than us. You've got your head on straight and you refuse to be a victim. You're going to be fine. I...

The shelters here won't let you have a dog unless you own your own home. A letter from your landlord isn't good enough. Try Craig's List, but be careful. You know what puppy mills are or you would have just gone to a pet store, but you may not know about puppy mill resellers or the dog auctions...

Diversity is actually hard wired into all living beings on this planet. It is a valuable quality in a species and has proven to be evolutionarily advantageous. If you want to see what eugenics might have looked like if Hitler had suceeded, just take a look at what humans have done with their...

I should know better than this, but can I agree to disagree for the sake of being funny? No time for seriously debating or discussing issues atm but https://invidio.us/watch?v=xMI_4yPd2L8 It's a Librebooted[1] Lenovo T400 I got on eBay for under a hundred fifty bucks, currently running...

Forty-three isn't old. Most people were born in 1957. Most people are also named "Mary", because so many of the "Tom"s and "David"s have already shuffled off this mortal coil. I'm actually just a baby babyboomer, but when my 72 year old friend put all these simple facts in those particular...

Nah, I think it's the so-called "normal" ones that are fucked up. The universe has a sense of humour and there's nothing wrong with pointing it out and laughing at it.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, Stacy. I'm glad you got a ride back to TX and hope you'll stick around StP and make it your "home on the internet" for researching travel. Everybody deserves to know how big, beautiful, and diverse the world is regardless of their finances.

Welcome home . :)

Hi Stacy, you're doing fine. This isn't a dating site and there are plenty of female and LGBTQ folks here. You're safe. I hope you do get to travel and I'm glad you're doing your research now.

The only thing I actually own is kind of cool, but we can agree to disagree: Myself. You can also see my dog in my avatar, but I don't really own her, I just pay the vet bills and buy the dogfood.

Nice to see a youngster with some common sense. :) 55 here and seriously thinking about chucking it all. The last 30 years of my life didn't accomplish jack shit. When I was hitching around the country, at least I learned how to busk well enough to support myself, my husband, and my husband's...

I have the cheapest inflatable car mattress off of eBay and it's delightful. No idea how long it's going to last, but I'm definitely not "roughing it". It does lose air over time, so I need to pump it back up again right before turning in and then again in the morning if I want to hang out in...

My dog gets Stella & Chewy's frozen when I have access to a freezer and dehydrated when I don't. It's very expensive so I couldn't do it if she was pitbull sized. I don't eat meat so I'm kind of clueless about how to handle raw meat from the grocery store, but I'm going to learn.

Much appreciated. I traveled with cats in my teens/twenties and very recently decided a dog would be easier and better security for a fiftysomething. I hadn't thought about putting a bowl of dog food out while busking and rarely let people see my dog food: yes, it's a lot more expensive than my...

Mine has always been "Anywhere but here" on one side and "home" on the other.

I've been sitting at the suicide bus stop for awhile and am kind of LARPing reincarnation at the moment. I'm glad you're still here, kutty.
