The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I am still around. I have a story. It is long but might get into it in the future.

For whatever reason, I decided to pop back in for a bit. I might stick around for a while.

Yes, I know he's on here all the time. He just won't talk to ME. I've sent several messages to him, and he's not responded.

Look, at this point, I don't care whether he can still take part on the timeline project on the other site or not. If he's going to bow out, that's fine. But I would appreciate to at least be told that, not be ghosted (or at least that's how it feels to me, he may be doing that without knowing it, or it's just a misunderstanding).

I'm just someone who wants closure.

Maybe he doesn’t want to talk to you.

You want me to drive up to Kentucky and waterboard him?

Well, I'd just appreciate if I got so much as a "I don't want anything to do with you," just to hear it. I can take that, easily. I don't like when people just slither off and never say a word again.

Look, I know I've had a longstanding problem with patience, and I'm aware it's one of my biggest flaws, and I'm continually grappling with it and working on it.

So I just thought if someone reached out to talk to him, leaving a message or whatnot, something would happen where the answer comes. And bear in mind, that's only with people who know him well enough to actually be friends with him through the site. Only for people who are comfortable doing that. Anyone who's not comfortable, you don't have to.

I just looked over my info, and I'll have been a member of the Links since February 21, 2003. That will make it twenty years next February.

I used to be on here posting all of the time talking crap about politics, football, basketball, and whatever else struck my fancy.

I haven't been on here in ages, and I'm still averaging over 1 post a day over those nearly twenty years. Boom! Lol!

Are you serious with this? You couldn’t pick the dude out of a police lineup if he shot your mom. And you’re miffed about him not responding to a message?

I hate to break it to you, he’s just not that into you.

You can’t hurry love. No you just have to wait. I’d don’t come easy. It’s a game of give and take. Just trust in the good times. No matter how long it takes.

I know it’s a month late but finally got the November issue of GUITAR magazine. There is a little blurb on my wife’s cousin’s daughter. 14 year old guitar player. It’s in the Defenders of the Faith section.

Got a link?

Old man rant of the day.

Having some time off from work, so, I drove my son to school a couple times this week. The following is not hyperbole:

About half the kids walking into the high school are wearing pajamas and slippers to school...and no, it wasn't "pajama day" or anything like that.

What the fuck?

**edwardv** · 12.10.22, 11:03 AM

PJs are in everywhere. I call it Walmart attire. Also what's with idiots in sub freezing temps with shorts , hoody, and flip flops?

**rchop84** · 12.10.22, 01:38 PM

As a younger teen I'd be against it, but I'm for school uniforms..khakis and golf shirts. Girls, well something similar. I remember kids being teased for wearing jeans from Walmart and not Levi's
