first time riding/driving a scooter today. no helmet.

turns are a bit unnervng, but cruising through those dusty mexican roads late in the evening with moderate traffic is an experience i like to repeat.


The freedom and connection to a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience. Being one with the machine, nothing like it. Especially if you are the type like likes the rush of adrenaline. Be sure to keep your head on a swivel, no one is looking out for you though, you must drive for everyone on the road so pay attention. Also, don't be silly, wear a helmet. I have been in a number of motorcycle accidents, bouncing off cars and hitting the road is not fun.

When I finally got an answer to the email I've been worried about... Great idea to strait away send a new one! (which I cant expect an answer to before tomorrow) :roll:

The guy I met yesterday (from the painting firm) asked who had sanded down the doorway frames. I said it was me, and then he spontaneously bursted into a little laugh at the same time as he said " You have done a greate job!" Huh.. :? :?

Are you worried he is utilizing sarcasm? Did you do a thorough job sanding it? He is either using sarcasm or impressed?

I think I did a good job sanding them, I didn't remove all the old paint, but that was not my goal. Maybe my look of anticipation when I told him it was me that had done the job, was what made him laugh? I think that is also a possibility. I will see how it looks when they have been painted. If I'm pleased, then I will say the sanding job was good enough! :mrgreen:

That is something pleasant as, my maternal person-mom is somewhat keen on autistic issues but, still needs to learn a great deal more.

How about taking off that ring of invisibility and following the path of existence instead?
Maybe someone else is waiting for you to find them ...


Sounds scary when you feel like discarded trash. Where do even start when you lack the tools to find that path?


Well, you're not discarded trash.
And since you now claim to be going down a path of nonexistence,
the best way for you to find the path of existence
would be to turn around. :)


Unfortunately, I am incapable of breaking the laws of the universe by turning back time, though I would still be broken nonetheless. However, I appreciate your time and kind words.


:lol: True, but what about turning back from the path of non-existence you're on?

You asked where to start. What have you tried already? What led you to this point of invisibility in the first place? Maybe if we knew that, someone could think of something you haven't tried.

Perhaps I should just seek professional assistance instead of vaguely venting my frustrations with life, but that requires venturing out into the world and contacting people face to face. To step into the minefield or remain in safe space?

Oh, I just got a thread locked, or at least I can't say I was entirely innocent to what lead to that result. Sometimes it's really hard to be a "bigger person" but that might be what we all have to to if this Trump thing isn't going to blow up in all of our faces.

Thinking of using my Amazon gift card, which I've not utilized in over a year now and wonder if it would still be valid?

I'm not a risk-taker, and yet, people have called me brave. When I venture out of that safe space, it's because I realize I can't stand the status quo anymore, or that a life without leaving that safe space would lead to too much regret for me. Or because I really believe in my heart that the rewards will be awesome.

When I stay in an unhappy, but safe space, it's because, even if I'm unhappy, I'm dealing with it, kinda sorta OK, and would need a push to go beyond. I just can't face the fear or risk or whatever, so I'll do something else, put it off a while longer...

The question is, where are you?

Being alone allows me to freely enjoy my hobbies and favorite activities without distractions, interruption, or invasion of privacy. So society needs to stop seeing my lack of desire to be around other people as a bad or even immoral thing.
