Sarcasm is hard to deliver to someone you’ve just met. One really needs a point of reference and familiarity with inflection to be up on it.

After traveling, it’s always good to hear what friends from the town you “live in” have been up to.
Wow, in 2000, the minimum wage rate WAS $5.15. Which means a week FT at minimum wage WOULD have been $206, or about 10k/year. :-/
There’s romantic notions of existence… and then there’s coffee.
When you hurt someone’s heart, sometimes there’s no pussyfooting around it.
One of the worst things about arguments is how we all remember things differently, and it’s so easy to become entrenched in it.
Bruno’s second word balloon is about as clear as i recall coming to describe how i felt through most of my twenties.
Actually, I’m pretty impressed with Dan’s ability to lay down boundaries here and not get sucked in. Humorously, back then, I was on the Bruno end. not-so-humorously, in ways, I probably still am. :)
Painful to read that. I can only wonder what i was going through at the time or if I had actually been that inventive.
I guess I had only lived in Portland a few months, and so i was still mulling over the whole idea of leaving home (the east coast).
Eventually i gave up trying to find “Meaning” with a capital “M,” which is maybe the point. Meaning is generally small things, and it does bring happiness.
Or perhaps, as I quoted Bruno early on saying, perhaps “contentment seeming to be the positive side of resignation.” Have I resigned? I may never know. But I’m happier.
