Nice opening Dante.

"Satisfied Staying Single Day"
I love being single. I can drink when I want to, no arguments or fights, I can vape if I want to. I am 53 years old and loving life. There is a young lady at work, if I was 30 I would pursue her and perhaps change my status, but I really am happy being single.


Question time Normies! Answer if you can :)
1) What mistake did you make in the past that, once made, couldnt be undone, and you just had to live with it?

My wife and I once woke up in the middle of the night, our baby was crying. My wife asked me to take care of her. I told her I had to get up at 4 am to go to work and she had no job; I really wish I could do that over, I would go and take care of the baby.

2) When was the last time you had a YOU day, no one else, just you having a great time in your own company? What did you get up to?
Sundays is my day. I work 6 days per week. I do my grocery shopping Saturday after work and then all I have to do Sunday is make a big pot of something or a casserole to eat during the week and do my laundry while I am cooking. The rest of the day is spent drinking whisky and either reading a book or working on a project. The past month I have worked on a purchasing project for work, organizing all of our parts on spreadsheets, but that is done now. This Sunday I will probably relax with a bottle of Black Velvet, some Maker's Mark, and a good book.
3) When was the last time you made a new friend?
My friend Cliff moved into the house about 3 years ago. I live in a shared house. We get together for an hour or so every day, bullshitting, talking some about politics and religion, our problems and challenges, the losses we have had in the past.

4) When was the last time you tried to play a musical instrument? How did it go?
I worked on the piano some years ago. I enjoy music but I am just not a musician.

5) Do you enjoy sports? Which sports? (Crazy sports count and are encouraged)
Chess is a killer sport. I like chess.

And now for those SUPER easy White-T-Shirt themed questions:
1) Do you own a white T-Shirt and do you EVER wear it?

I have a bright white t-shirt. I wear an open shirt over it, eitherr blue or red, I think it looks pretty good. I never wear a white t-shirt by itself.

2) What is your favourite shade of white T-Shirt? "Whitesmoke"? "Snow"? "Ivory"?
I would say snow.

3) Have you ever washed a White T-Shirt with the colour laundry by accident? Did it survive?
I wash all of my clothes in one batch, I never seperate them. I use Tide Pods and everything seems to come out okay.

4) What is you favourite outfit to go with a White T-Shirt?
White t-shirt with a red shirt left open, Levi's jeans, cotton boxer underwear, Hanes socks, and Danner hiking boots.

5) Is there, in your opinion, ANY article of clothing more boring than a plain white T-Shirt?
If the only thing I had left to wear in my chest of drawers was a plain white t-shirt I would go out and buy a blue one before I went anywhere.

AND REMEMBER: Always be aware of the fact that a group of crows is called a Murder, so don't be caught unaware by their kind.... (Have you ever seen The Birds - 1963 ??
Crows are a bad omen. There is a Murder of crows near our house, they moved in about 2 weeks before the COVID-19 virus hit. I can hear them cawing when I get home from work and I know it is not good news.

1) What mistake did you make in the past that, once made, couldnt be undone, and you just had to live with it?
I ate the yellow snow! :( But there seemed to be no significant aftereffects.

2) When was the last time you had a YOU day, no one else, just you having a great time in your own company? What did you get up to?
When I wound up hiking 40 miles in the desert, 7am to 1am or so. It was a good day and I couldn't stop.

3) When was the last time you made a new friend?
The black cat near the barber shop ran away, but I believe he saw me as a friend. There was a slight hesitation just before he bolted off like crazy.

4) When was the last time you tried to play a musical instrument? How did it go?
I practice the couple of piano pieces I know every week, just so I don't forget them. I can't sight-read very well and have to memorize what I play, so I don't want to forget what I learned!

5) Do you enjoy sports? Which sports? (Crazy sports count and are encouraged)
Used to enjoy basketball, at least when playing with people at my mediocre skill level. But now I'm old and everything hurts when I go out on the court! :(

1) Do you own a white T-Shirt and do you EVER wear it?
Of course. Plenty. Most have messages on them, like "I am unable to communicate verbally."

2) What is your favourite shade of white T-Shirt? "Whitesmoke"? "Snow"? "Ivory"?
Just plain old white works. It's all the colors of the spectrum combined in a glorious fashion.

3) Have you ever washed a White T-Shirt with the colour laundry by accident? Did it survive?
Not really. Whenever I do laundry, I assume the colors will "transfer gently" among the various articles of clothing in the wash.

4) What is you favourite outfit to go with a White T-Shirt?
White goes with everything. Like black.

5) Is there, in your opinion, ANY article of clothing more boring than a plain white T-Shirt?
I don't find white t-shirts boring, especially since you can't do better than all the colors of the spectrum present simultaneously.

Hi there... and thanks for the mention!

1) What mistake did you make in the past that, once made, couldnt be undone, and you just had to live with it?
So many. I really need a time travel machine.
E.g. Fallen out with an important teacher and then misscalculated the points necessary for my school graduation. My stupid arrogance and 2 lousy points.
Later in life I tore open a conflict with old business colleagues. Should have left everything were it was... in the past.
I. am. so. stupid.

2) When was the last time you had a YOU day, no one else, just you having a great time in your own company? What did you get up to?
To many me days and to few us days.

3) When was the last time you made a new friend?
I guess a couple of month ago.

4) When was the last time you tried to play a musical instrument? How did it go?
Piano/Keyboard... some days ago. It was ok for me.

5) Do you enjoy sports? Which sports? (Crazy sports count and are encouraged)
I don't enjoy it at the moment. Should do something...am really letting my self go. Used to do running and a little strength training.

I would like to call out the following:

"Get out your guitar" day, huh. *huh We'll see.
Maybe I'll drop a random flurry of notes in a bit, we'll see lol.
I still dont see any music :) Dont be shy now.


Thanks @Dante for inviting me to always impressive your version café. It’s not even 5am yet so I belong at the snooze table, might be back later when my brain wakes up too.
And I always wondered how I can be the only red head in my entire extended family. *dunno

1) Do you own a white T-Shirt and do you EVER wear it?
I do have one and I sleep in it.

2) What is your favourite shade of white T-Shirt? "Whitesmoke"? "Snow"? "Ivory"?
any warm shade

3) Have you ever washed a White T-Shirt with the colour laundry by accident? Did it survive?
sure, but not by accident. I don’t have any clothes that bleed color except jeans. do they still exist?

4) What is you favourite outfit to go with a White T-Shirt?
pajama pants…or nothing

5) Is there, in your opinion, ANY article of clothing more boring than a plain white T-Shirt?
no
YES!! I didnt think anyone would go for the Snooze Table!


I think I posted the last thread on this forum yesterday but somehow I cannot find it. Yeah, it was another low point of depression and suicidal thoughts. I think I should make a thread like this, in the name of Jim.

====================================================
YBER
====================================================
Nothing, seriously. I did a few school plays. Well, I didn't sing in those plays. I enjoy singing alone to calm myself down, mostly the trendy pop ballad songs.

Is tagging a form of invitation? Or do I have to write something more formal?

====================================================
NORM AL
====================================================

What mistake did you make in the past that, once made, couldnt be undone, and you just had to live with it?
- Going to a mental health clinic, instead of committing suicide. I wasn't treated kindly. I was humiliated and tortured for wanting to die. No diagnosis, just being asked a bunch of questions in a freezing small room. Thanks to this, I have daily suicidal thoughts and a sort of lesser trauma and anxiety when thinking about therapy.

When was the last time you had a YOU day, no one else, just you having a great time in your own company? What did you get up to?
- I once spent an entire day to visit various museums in my city before the pandemics. Not many people visit those places. I had the quietness and a calm atmosphere to check on historical objects and artworks. For a similar reason, I also enjoy libraries and bookstores.

When was the last time you made a new friend?
- More like colleagues, well it was last month, after a conference.

When was the last time you tried to play a musical instrument? How did it go?
- I guess it was 2017 or 2018. I bought a bamboo flute because I didn't have enough for a classic guitar. I gave up after a few Youtube tutorial videos, which is a week or so.

Do you enjoy sports? Which sports? (Crazy sports count and are encouraged)
- I'm not interesting in sports. I used to play football (soccer), volleyball, basketball and this sport called shuttlecock or featherball, which is basically kicking or hitting around (no hand) a small feather thing (like the one used in badminton). This is the national sport or the most popular sport in country, besides football (soccer).

====================================================

====================================================
Do you own a white T-Shirt and do you EVER wear it?
- I used to have a T-shirt from a marathon competition I participated. Unfortunately, it's no longer fit me. Maybe that is the only T-shirt I had. I enjoy wearing polo shirts mostly.

What is your favourite shade of white T-Shirt? "Whitesmoke"? "Snow"? "Ivory"?
- I guess, snow. To be honest, I don't think too much about this.

Have you ever washed a White T-Shirt with the colour laundry by accident? Did it survive?
- Probably, something like that rarely happen to me. If so, having a pink T-shirt is not that bad.

What is you favourite outfit to go with a White T-Shirt?
- A dark-colored pair of jeans (not necessarily blue) and a pair of blue/black & white sneakers.

Is there, in your opinion, ANY article of clothing more boring than a plain white T-Shirt?
- Nothing is boring if you know how to tweak them. I'm not a stylist so I cannot recommend anything.

PS: I like the facts.
Wow, you went ahead and answered EVERYTHING.. and you didnt half-arse it either...
Im not really sure how to respond to some of that except the one thing we all cant do at the moment: Hug. *console*brohugBut really, I swear people are so heartless and shit that I am 1 asshole driver blinding me with his high-beams away from going postal on everybody... What ever happened to basic human compassion?

P.S. The idea of the "invite someone new" thing was to actually talk to them, to provoke people to make new friends on SF.

1) What mistake did you make in the past that, once made, couldnt be undone, and you just had to live with it? Deciding to live. haha
2) When was the last time you had a YOU day, no one else, just you having a great time in your own company? What did you get up to? Not sure, mostly I don't take time for myself.
3) When was the last time you made a new friend? I don't make new friends too often, I like the friends I have and can trust them.
4) When was the last time you tried to play a musical instrument? How did it go? I haven't tried for a long time...I mean I haven't practiced enough to get good at it.
5) Do you enjoy sports? Which sports? (Crazy sports count and are encouraged) No, not really. lol
I envy you your friends. I don't have any myself.

5. sports : i'm not much into sports. you said other sports were ok so i do have 1. i street race with my 64 dodge on occasion. of course i make sure it's safe to do so.
Dude, that counts :D

3. I reconnected with an old one, dies that count?
You know, I dont know, maybe? I suppose it depends on if you restarted your old friendship or started a new one (If you were different enough that you had to "meet" each other all over again)

Thank you for inviting me...Not sure how I feel being categorized like this :P but I belong in the Snooze table...

And now for those SUPER easy White-T-Shirt themed questions:
1) Do you own a white T-Shirt and do you EVER wear it? I own more than one and I wear them all the time in the most precarious of situations like when spaghetti is present.
2) What is your favourite shade of white T-Shirt? "Whitesmoke"? "Snow"? "Ivory"? Off-white.
3) Have you ever washed a White T-Shirt with the colour laundry by accident? Did it survive? Ha..ha. It's worse I washed all my whites with a new red hand towel and they all turned Peep color.
4) What is you favourite outfit to go with a White T-Shirt? blue jeans.. the rustic look.
5) Is there, in your opinion, ANY article of clothing more boring than a plain white T-Shirt? any clothing that is brown or beige. or tweed. that's a thing right?

and one from the normal table just to keep it spicy:

3) When was the last time you made a new friend?

last year. scintillating, no?

none from the uber table because that would require musical talent and i save my croaking for the shower. and the car.

Thanks for opening the cafe @Dante and thanks for the invite. Luckily it's Friday now, so I'm sure I'll be catching up on some rest. I hope everyone can have a great weekend.

3) The British Navy employed a tactic of deploying Britney Spears music to scare off Somali Pirates, and it worked! Britney was chosen as they thought that out of all music ever, Somali Pirates would find the musical styling of Britney Spears the most unpleasant.
I almost can't believe this is true, but it is. lol
