That I'm 29 years old, living in my mother's basement, and still a virgin.

PA was 42, still living with his parents in his childhood bedroom when we married.  We were both virgins (I was 34).  There's still time for you. 

And sometimes a disappointing single life is better than marriage.  (Not that our marriage didn't have our ups and downs, good and bad times, etc. And I do miss him.  Excuse me while I find some tissues.)

A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Haven't been out much lately...got more mulch, so more work.

Did find another gas trimmer and a cordless drill with 2 batteries, a light, and a bad charger.

I just don't want to feel stuck in my life. I'm not wanting fear to hold me back.... I had enough with the shit it's caused me.

A 1900 Indian head penny in my sons yard.  First one I ever found with a metal detector,  I found two when I was a kid in rolls of pennies from the bank

Very nice. Average value $2.50. Minimum value $1.40 even with heavy wear.

Some black and silver Sketchers (sp) shoes, an Adidas hoodie, and a navy blue knitted jumper from the shop I volunteer at.

Any reason why you'd buy stuff from work?

Ren, good on you for volunteering. I admire that. It's a very positive thing to do on a number of levels.

Thanks, MOSW. Sometimes people come in and ask me a question. I feel good if I can be of help.

A lot of the time good stuff is donated that I would like to buy. The clothes I buy are brought home and washed since they don't do that at the store.

To be honest they should be selling it to you at a discounted rate since you're actually giving your time there. Around 25% off would be about right. They generally discourage people buying from work because of the dynamics involved - are you a customer or an employee? One or the other.

You're close. I get 20% off. Plus whatever the tag special is that day (there are different coloured tags).
