Dogs do it.

I was staying in Florida on the beach with some friends and they had a couple of cockatiels that just were living in the house, not in a cage or anything. My buddy that was vacationing with me had a diamond earring and the birds kept landing on his shoulder pecking at his ear trying to grab the diamond.

Anyway I left early one morning to go pick up girls errr... I mean lay on the beach and get a tan and I accidentally let one of the birds out of the house. I got home that afternoon and they were all frantic, you let our bird out! You have to go find it... right.

So the next morning I go walking down the beach asking anyone if they had seen a bird. Low and behold some old lady said a man had a bird land on his shoulder and he took it home with him. She even knew exactly where he lived which was a miracle because it was a giant condominium/apartment complex 20 stories high with a million apartments. She took me up to his place and there was the stupid cockatiel hanging out having breakfast with him. He had some other birds too it wasn't his first rodeo.

He was kind enough to lend me a small cage and I took the bird home and was a hero. Well at first they thought I was full of ****shit and had just bought a new bird, but somehow the girl that owned the bird could tell it was hers. Never in a million years did I think there was any way that bird would ever make it home. Miracles do happen.

What is up people out there?

I have to work today because it started raining yesterday and I didn't finish my job. On top of that the temperature dropped 20 degrees and it's freezing and my grandson is having a birthday party at noon that I am going to miss........ other than that everything is status quo, which is code for prettyshitty.

Have a good weekend!

It’s been a long time but it’s nice to see that some people came back.

I'm sorry about your depression. When I was really young I felt like I didn't fit in and I thought about killing myself too. My dad had a pistol and I even got the thing out and looked at it a few times. Everything was just too much to handle and I cried a lot and was just generally miserable.

But you know things do change. Your life can get better. It can get a lot better. I've found that having a lot of friends is basically bullshit too. Most people don't really care about others, they just want something from you. Then you find yourself spending your time doing favors and lending money and going out of your way to be nice to people that wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.. Okay maybe most people aren't that bad, but a lot of them are.

I kind of got out of my depression by getting involved in things I could do myself. I used to draw a lot, I would draw pictures of cars and buildings, and sometimes I drew pictures of naked women. I had a lot of fun doing that.. lol. I got a guitar and played that for hours a day. You can really immerse yourself in an instrument, and when you make nice sounds it gives you a warm feeling inside too. Plus banging on a guitar is a great way to let out aggression. I got two jobs and saved money and bought a motorcycle. Then I took long long long rides on that motorcycle and really had a lot of fun doing that.

But I know everyone likes to have other people around, and having someone you can talk to is important. Even though we're just a computer screen there are people here that care about each other. There are people here that care about you too.

There was something my mom told me when I was a kid and unhappy a lot. She said if you smile instead of frown you will feel better. It works. In fact they are just now getting proof of this because of botox injections. People who have this treatment can't move their face enough to frown and they have discovered that suddenly they are much happier simply because of their facial expressions...

So yeah start smiling more and come here and talk to us. You can come to us for anything, and we won't even try to borrow any money. Well, maybe not.

Help-QA feature poll: Changing Anonicons

I forgot about Yeti changing his name every couple of days way back when.. about drove me crazy. I think the only reason I figured him out was because he changed it but still had a different series of letters flashing for his avatar. He could have been anonymous forever just by changing his name I guess. Hmmm..

I didn't realize the anonicon is with you for life either. That HAS to change, it almost defeats the purpose of having it. Plus lots of times people accidentally forget to hit the "Post Anonymously?" box and out themselves. I've seen it happen quite a few times and it is embarrassing to say the least.

And I wholeheartedly agree with rockster that we need to worry more about making people comfortable than about trolls. We don't really have a troll problem here anyway unless you consider soco a troll.. ha ha ha. Couldn't help myself there Wendo.

I like the per post idea. The monthly thing is kind of random and I've already outed my own anonymous avatar on that other post where this whole discussion started, so we have to change it now...

Ummm the manual idea is pretty good too. Like yeti says if you're trying to make a fashion statement you can just keep generating different ones until you find something that floats your boat. And it gives people the option of changing it mid-post if they really want to or leaving it the same forever so that their friends will recognize them but no one else will. Yeah, vote for that everyone!

Other than guessing from language, can anyone tell who the anonymous posters are?

Yep, same as the other day.
