And that's all you can do. Only you can decide whether to keep trying after all of that. I have had a couple of receptions and still have a few who ignore.

2023 Halloween Costume, if you know who this comedian is then you are as old (or older) than me 😆
Also made that dress out of curtains I found at Goodwill

@duglop My region is five counties. Three of which are at least two hours away. I sit on the border of two other counties that I don't get calls on because they are not in my region.

I don't wish fires in my local areas, and I also don't want to respond to fires two hours away, and I want to get some experience. Quagmire.

I got a call this morning for a fire 65 miles away. Doesn't seem that far, really, but estimated 2 hours and 10 minutes to get there.

That's how rural I am.

Back in the day, I'd laugh at you for suggesting me to watch The Joy Of Painting With Bob Ross - today I'd ask which season & which episode?

@MelissaHDavis my sister wouldn't even let me say goodbye to my father when he was dying, she got between my mom and I before she died as well.. she always has negative things to say about my 2 children whom are extremely respectful adults now and went so far as to turn her back on old family friends... then she stopped speaking to me out of the blue - yet again, it's always been ME continuing to reach out and try my best

@duglop
Right. And when I have finally been accepted it's been work but worth it.

@MelissaHDavis I'm not sure you get my toot but thanks...
when I say it takes TWO PEOPLE - I'm meaning I do my part....

@MelissaHDavis that's just what I'm saying - it's always been me reaching out...

So tomorrow would have been Mom and Dad's 59th wedding anniversary. It feels like it's been a very long 20 plus years that Mom has been gone and a very long five plus years that Dad has been gone... Tomorrow is also my younger sisters birthday, she and I have not spoke for a number of years and in all honesty I don't see that changing anytime soon because it takes 2 people...

@duglop
Fruit flies (the flightless type, for simplicity)

@Admiral_eliw Welcome! Yes it's time to level up to REAL SM aka :) great tooters here!!

Gonna start posting here instead of on Twitter or x or whatever it'll be called tomorrow... It was my sounding board, my ranting space. Where I could just yell out into the ether. That's something hard for guys to have in any other way, seeing as we are raised to not cry, keep our problems to ourselves, suffer in silence and just get angry.
I guess this'll be my new loudspeaker to the ether.
