Don't really know to be honest Doc. It's about 5 hours away from where I live now, way down in the SW corner of the state. The town I grew up was almost Normal Rockwell-ish in its distance from larger cities, history, and size. All my family on both sides lived within about 25 miles one way or the other. I've lived in NW Arkansas for so long now that the first fourteen years or so I lived there seem like a distant, well remembered dream.I do remember being a lot happier there than I was moving up to the city, things were much simpler, life moved much more slowly. I'm not sure if I could convey that verbally to my wife or to my son. They both grew up in more urban areas and I'm not sure if my frame of reference would be understood, and I'd just come off as babbling meaninglessly like I do here on the board. I haven't been to that area for around 15 years now. The last time was for my dad's 50th birthday celebration and he's 65 now. I'd planned, eventually, to return to that area maybe to live at some point when I get older but I've got my son up here and I want to make sure he's taken care of. I'd love to go back and visit, but would it be selfish to say I'd almost rather go alone, sir? I don't mean that in a bad way toward my family, but I'd just love to drive and walk around the place and reminisce with no one watching as I think trying to explain how we lived, how we grew up, and how much I enjoyed living there would be lost in translation, ya' know?

I heard from a nursing program, the CPA accounting association, the Canadian Dietetic Association, medical administration program, the ACLU young activist program, a local film school, and a PSA poetry contest all in the same month. I feel like a high school senior trying to decide what to do with my life.

I don't know when i'm coming back on here because I don't like references to blue tongue lizards and also someone put up a gif of one squirrel massaging another. I might be just touchy but I don't know.

Are you kidding? I am pretty sure it was me - well I know for sure I posted a picture of a skink with a blue tongue but that was directed towards Tery , just as a joke and she got it.

I think it was me with the squirrel gif (one is giving another one a massage, as if at a spa). Someone went on vacation (pretty sure it was HollyGolightly ) and it sounded like she needed a vacation from the vacation as they went to Disneyland and it sounded hectic.

Sorry if these two images bothered you Mr. Cranky - that wasn't the intention. Maybe you are just a bit touchy? Is something going on in your life to make you feel so sensitive? Whatever is happening, I hope things improve. By the way, that picture you posted of a crossword puzzle with SK and JK Rowling was pretty cool!

Did you read online about Melania Trump's jacket? - now she is getting some flack (no pun intended) for wearing the wrong jacket when visiting some kids at a detention centre ;-D

Apparently it had something written on the back that seemed inappropriate - wonder if it was intentional or she just wasn't thinking?
:umm:

Yes - it takes a lot of self talk to get me over it when that happens - "Your intentions were good - you are never intentionally hurtful - they are being paranoid."
I feel like Stuart Smalley.
