I used literally to stay at work late so I could avoid having to go home and face running the gauntlet.

That was a long time ago though. Things have settled down now.

How young were these local thugs?

Hey, Pet Sounds. I came back too. Things aren't as toxic as they used to be. Maybe if you stick around, we can still do that Beatles project.

Dunno. Not kids for sure. About my age at the time, late teens to mid-twenties maybe?

I hope you and your family are all well. Has covid gone ok for you?
Have you been lurking here all the while? I wonder what's inspired you to post again?

Oh, yes, and Welcome Back!

Hey, Lisna! So far, I've been the only one of my family to get COVID. Thankfully it wasn't too bad. All things considered, I've fared quite well.

I haven't logged in years—too busy to keep up with things, and I feel like MB is most fun when you're active enough to stay involved with the community. Lately I've been exploring music a little more and occasionally wanting to share my thoughts on it, so I thought it would be a good time to check in again.

Hey! Glad to hear it. I'll have to see how much time I have on my hands

Bite.

2. If you see someone being pursued by the law (and assuming it’s nothing to do with you) what is your first thought/reaction?

I hope they catch the guy.

3. Name one thing that could have turned a “good” president (historically speaking - Lincoln, JFK, Clinton, Washington etc) into a bad one, and vice versa. In other words, in case you don’t get the concept, the single event or deed that could have defined their legacy in the exact opposite way it did.

Committing a murder.

4. If you were/are in the market for a new pet, how would you go about it? Shelter? Ad in the paper? Online? Pedigree purchase? Friends?

Probably friends and then shelter.

5. You move to a new town. Driving or walking by a house, you see the word PAEDO daubed in red on the door. What’s your reaction?

Everyone in that neighborhood is probably someone I would not want to live anywhere near.

6. If you buy something relatively cheap, either online or in a shop, and it doesn’t work as it should, do you usually send/bring it back or just shrug and say it was only a few dollars, I couldn’t be bothered?

I would send it back if it came that way.

1. If your food is late/wrong in a restaurant, do you make a fuss, and is your decision affected by who you’re with, if anyone?

2.What was your first ever modem?

3. You find a credit card on the street. Nobody is around. What do you do?

4. What’s the most precious thing you ever lost, whether that be in terms of actual monetary value, sentimental value or the amount of work put into it, or its uniqueness?

5. How often do you virus check your computer?

6. Would you rather have central heating, a gas fire, an electric fire or a real coal fire?

1. If your food is late/wrong in a restaurant, do you make a fuss, and is your decision affected by who you’re with, if anyone?
I don't make a fuss and who I'm with has no influence; I would only ask for it to be changed if they give me something I don't like
2.What was your first ever modem?
I don't know what that means
3. You find a credit card on the street. Nobody is around. What do you do?
hand it over to the nearest safe lost and found place
4. What’s the most precious thing you ever lost, whether that be in terms of actual monetary value, sentimental value or the amount of work put into it, or its uniqueness?
a file with writings for a comic book that I wanted to make
5. How often do you virus check your computer?
I think I have some software that checks in the background but I don't know how often
6. Would you rather have central heating, a gas fire, an electric fire or a real coal fire?
why is wood not an option? that's what I enjoy most, but it's bad for the environment so central heating

1. If your food is late/wrong in a restaurant, do you make a fuss, and is your decision affected by who you’re with, if anyone?

I generally don't make a fuss but I might politely inquire if I'm with people if they seem unnerved by it.

2.What was your first ever modem?

An internal one inside my first computer, a 486.

3. You find a credit card on the street. Nobody is around. What do you do?

Good question. I guess I'd destroy it if I couldn't contact the cardholder.

4. What’s the most precious thing you ever lost, whether that be in terms of actual monetary value, sentimental value or the amount of work put into it, or its uniqueness?

I don't think I lost all that much important, maybe my original birth certificate?

5. How often do you virus check your computer?

Every couple of weeks

6. Would you rather have central heating, a gas fire, an electric fire or a real coal fire?

Probably central heating. Coal is bad for the environment (duh) and who wants to have an electrical fire?

1. If your food is late/wrong in a restaurant, do you make a fuss, and is your decision affected by who you’re with, if anyone?
I've never made a fuss or complained to the staff thus far, I might not go there again if it was really bad I guess

2.What was your first ever modem?
This is somewhat dated for people of my generation, but regardless, any place I've lived in so far has already had one installed so can't really answer

3. You find a credit card on the street. Nobody is around. What do you do?
Try to make sure it finds it way back to its rightful owner.

4. What’s the most precious thing you ever lost, whether that be in terms of actual monetary value, sentimental value or the amount of work put into it, or its uniqueness?
I remember being pretty pissed at losing a rare Duel Masters card (zoomer reference; please ignore) in primary school. I guess I've been fortunate enough not to lose anything legitimately valuable though

5. How often do you virus check your computer?
Probably not often enough, but I'm fairly sure the computer checks itself somewhat regularly anyway

6. Would you rather have central heating, a gas fire, an electric fire or a real coal fire?
central heating all the way, baby
