She’s a big girl.

Speaking of Big girls…the SS United States is being evicted and must leave by Sept 12th. She been moored up in Philadelphia since ‘96. It’s too bad there isn’t a way to repurpose it. It’s either going to the scrap yard or getting sunk. I’ll probably try and see it one last time.

All the new tech with phones and how dating is done was new to me....still getting used to it all.

Funny thing is I had a girlfriend for 6 months earlier this year and things were going good, but she had to move away to take care of her mom after her dad died. However, I met her the old fashion way...at a bar, LOL. Its hard for me get in a relationship, I look a lot younger than I am and with a 15 year old, I am basically living my life as a 37 year old as well and mistaken for that age too.....but I am 57...so women my age are in a different stage of life, and they are looking for things I am not. I have to look for women a good 20 years younger than me and who are in the same life stage, but they usually are not looking to date someone in their 50's.

Impressive that you found someone the old fashioned way while at a bar. That’s too bad she had to move away. Do you still talk to her?

While not ideal for finding a mate, Reddit seems to have a ton of dating communities including age gaps.

You can now stream the tremendous flop, Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 on HBO Max. I think I’ll check it out tonight.

A chicken in every pot, a cocktail in every hand and all you can eat tacos. Hail to the chief, baby.

Explain to me this Reddit thing. I don't quite get it. Is it just like a big forum with a bunch of other forums?

It seems to be a mass forum for discussion on just about every conceivable topic.

That’s pretty much it. The “other forums” are called subreddits and you can choose favorites, upvote or downvote posts and accumulate karma points.

Just come up with a topic and it’s probably already on there. Before I joined, I would Google something and put Reddit at the end because I always found someone worth reading on there.

The audiophile sub is hopping with 2 million members.

Owner's Wife Alone Onboard 'Deserted' Superyacht? - YouTube

That yacht sinking off the coast of Italy tho…


Very sad.

On my mind... nothing really at the moment. Had a great night with my son. Thankful for the memories he and I will have.

I added some packaging pics to a movie on here. Does that count as a contribution? Just wondering.

I don’t think that it does but we appreciate your contribution

Trying to decide what to read next. Just finished a really depressing fiction, and it makes me want to pick up some non-fiction, but I have so much in the queue. What should it be?

• Kiera and the Sun
• Absolution
• East of Eden
• North and South
• Holding Out: The German Army and Operational Command in 1917 (I'd have to buy that, though, for $45).

Yeah, no worries. I’m discovering that there are a lot of VS titles that are missing packaging pics.

Interesting. So it's just a hodgepodge of different forums? What's the advantage of navigating that site vs going to an actual OEM forum, eg bluray.com?

What do karma points get you? Merch? Pastry and coffee at the reddit cafeteria?
