is this place still alive?

I pop by quite often & waiting for traffic to pick up I can dispense my unique brand of BS.

Hey, I hope you're in some place that's enchanting in one hearty way or another. The weather around you has at least likely changed. :) Hopefully, you're getting a chance to relax and absorb this spongy Summer of a Planet-bowl.

Well, it got hot here, bichin hot at around 120F. Cooled down a bit the last few days but it's gonna rocket back up again. My friend's dog died from, I believe, heat stroke & I had to bury the little girl.. which truly sucked. Then I had to cart my friend to the hospital, after days of buggin her, & she ended up suffering from hyperthermia/dehydration/kidney failure. She maybe had hours to live & then, after being transferred to another (bigger) hospital in Penticton, suffered a heart attack. Luckily, she pulled through but is left with 50% heart function. My pups are doing fine though, since I have a 24v spot air conditioner for them that I run off solar.

My dad is a huge jerk.

Time can change things, sometimes for the better, so there could be that hope. My stepdad & I NEVER got along & then he got old, suffered maybe a micro-stroke & then became.. likeable. Something in his brain changed & he let go of some resentment he had, which led to some positive interactions & a glimpse of what things could have been like, though only for a short time before we parted company. He's dead now so I can only settle for that. I probably haven't been of much help but I'm only a psychotherapist on TV.. or I outta be.

Hello.

One thing to seriously consider is your diet & lifestyle choices. By all means see a doctor ASAP, but being on meds is often a bandaid solution & can have unpleasant side-effects.

Well what I was wondering is what other social media websites do people know of?

I generally just use the steaming turd that is Facebook.

Wow I'm amazed that I could still log back into my account.

I truly disliked the helptogo moniker since it sounded like a pudding cup or some over-processed junk food with an obscene amount of plastic packaging.
