freaky goodness thread!

I wanted to say random goodness, but I set off on a journey with self serving ideas... among others to finally get a haircut as I look ridiculous with long hair curling up on itself... and something always seems to get in the way and the hair gets longer... and I wanted to revive old paranoia threads over crazy aircraft action and other things that ended up settling out just fine.

today, I was watching some show supposedly with some govt asshat hinting but refusing to confirm his buddies took out MLK JR (and who knows maybe Kennedys while they were at it?) to prevent chaos and revolution... and on that note I take a journey... eye candy a little not much, haircut got hung up in traffic and missed it my 5-10 minutes. All is failing, hell might as well get a meal while I am here. I may now have IBS so won't assume that meal did it, but hell my bro and I seem to have the worst luck possible, what gives I do not know.

While at the restaurant, there was no real seating but a chair crammed into a corner by a bar. While standing around like a bloated excentric fool while 2 older ladies got up and took like 10 minutes to leave, I sit down and get treated like a circus freak while and after waiting for some service (although these same people know me from before including with my bro and act different then) and then get some only sporadically. Forgive me getting to the meaning of the thread I promise.

Some guy that looks like a guy older than me but could be younger sits down next to me with what seems to be his complacent unpleasant older wife and he seemed like he could do far better as he was a dignified handsome older guy.

Oh fuck he starts talking to me off and on and I already feel like a freaky fish out of water. About the Sox, I was wearing a hat and shirt and pants that I wear all the time when I go out, seriously I have a bed outfit and going out outfit and a working in the garden outfit and that's all I have worn for 5 plus years.

Then he said what you do for work and oh god what do I say there, I have not held a real job in years and said what I went to school for, wildlife biologist and he starts asking which agency and started rattling them off and this guy seemed like he knew everything and everyone so I said, I am out of work now but wildlife biologist is my line of work.

I quickly tried to change the subject, don't know if that was before or after he said I am always pointing a certain direction and that means I come from the east to the other side of the river. I said yea and the town, mentioned a city near me as most don't know where the hell that is but he was, mentioned doing work at a location that I knew of a couple towns away.

He kept alternating between talking to me, the staff, and his wife, and finally I asked for the bill and as I can't see receipts or menus well, I asked him what it said. 16 something, I thanked him and got a twenty ready, the staff seeming to ignore me.. He said "only 16 something right? don't worry about it I got it.. I said are you serious, you mean it... yes don't worry about it have a good night or something like that... yes just a short way home when I had to visit a bathroom as it was fried food...
but hell, the point is this guy did not know me and owed nothing to me and seemed sucessful but still did something he did not have to do and I honor and respect that of him and hope to follow his example and do good things and be a better person by his example. and I hope others here do too and tell their stories here, hope to tell tales about giving away wad's of 100's when I have them! Thank you sir!

not to mention he tried to converse and make me feel comfortable despite that being hard for me, almost resented it at first but then totally appreciated it big time, made me feel human again instead of some creepy freak in the corner as I am sure many feel of me. thank you again good sir whoever you are!

thanks for your post . . . it helped lift me from a Trumpian depression . . . if i ever get out of debt i would love to do that $100 thing - it would be my minimum tip, for starters (child was in the food service industry for a spell).

Isn't it amazing what a little human interaction can do?

So many of us feel estranged from much of the general populace, and just a conversation with someone who shows interest in you can really make your day.

I was in a bar recently and this dude comes in and sits down. He looks kind of sketchy, wide eyed, a little twitchy. I wind up standing at the bar next to him and say hello. He gets to talking and turns out to be a nice guy. Just moved to town after a divorce. He's a teacher he says.

So some of my friends and some regulars chat with him and all is well. He gets ready to leave and thanks us all for making him feel welcome and said he would like to come back sometime. Of course!

After he left the tar bender came over and said the gentleman paid all our tabs. He was sad about his divorce and said we cheered him up and made him feel so welcome. Cost him 400$. We were shocked to say the least.

Next time we got his drinks and dinner covered for sure. Hell of a nice guy to do that, but it certainly was not necessary. Glad we cheered the man up though.

i'll talk to (almost) anyone...really pisses my wife off. :biggrin: waiting to order at a fast food place a while back, & the folks ahead of me were real dickheads to the poor fucking teenager taking their order. i mentioned it to him as i was ordering, telling him i was proud of his restraint & he actually thanked me for the gesture. THAT pissed off the dickheads who were standing to the side waiting for their (hopefully wrong/cold) food by then. i guess you can't make EVERYONE happy, right? assholes... :tiphat:

geesh yeah but pissing on good vibes over a fabricated story, if that is what it lis. is despicable and if that makes you feel good then 1fine.. I got to believe an equal chance that I got it ALL wrong so please make me feel better! :D ;D But I went to that restaurant again today against my best impulse but it is my bro's favorite restaurant and my least favorite for a single diner, but it was good I must say that says nothing for or against my point other than those 2 bar people showing utter evil dagger eye contempt for me but hey a good guy deciding to pick up my bill that time and he no matter what his details did a kind unselfish deed there and that they gave me looks made me wonder if that guy didn't do what he said he would and I'd be arrested for $16 but that did not happen. My bro will not let me get away with a penny and nor would I, although I got to believe I am slightly more forgiving but for once or once again it was a good day I can't complain! Hey from where I stand if someone does not want to screw you, it is a good day, it has gotten that scary. But nice and happy just the same all too crazy for even me and that's saying something.... man with the next couple days we are facing in the states all kinds of crazy or sane norms have been reset so I feel the future has got to be great for me and more importantly us and I forgot whatever else I wanted to say. I never denied this is a thread in progress but I thank you all for your participation. If you are from the US go vote, it is that important that we finallly have a real voice at least somewhat and baby steps you got to seize what you can when you can and we have real opportunities to make gains and so we must. please unite in the righteous fight and make the future happen rather than it get stuck in neutral for 20 or more years, you may have the time for that but I got to believe I and plenty others here do not as well. Seize the day and make it real, seize the day and make it yours! Step forth and make a difference my brothers as will I!

point is greater goodness must win. I met surprising allies along the way I would otherwise be likely to condemn maybe I never was as open minded as I want to be but tihis is really a new way forward. follow your dreams and make them your ally and you will do just fine.

yes Gypsy I have been critical of some things heirarchacal here, but you said what was absolutely correct and no ass kisser here but totallly agree. Your post was a true relevation and we are all friends of the herb here. Yeah know I didn't spell well but feel I or we made our points loud and clear. That others feel what I feel in a negative way sometimes makes me feel a little more part of things and far more importantly that we all are finally going to win in a big way soon. Go Cannabis!

if you'd like someone like that to leave you alone just ask him, "Excuse me, but aren't you the guy that keeps circling my house with that helicopter or small airplane???"

done deal, and they'll all move away from you on the group 'W' bench.......

what I realized is enemies are friends and friends are enemies, and then that all of us are friends. I don't like respect nor ever trusted authority, but I learned from a cop that gave me a break and spoiled rich kids in college that annoyed me then ended up being great, that we all are great and got to embrace and realize it and help each other out even if sometimes we would rather kick each others ass.

SFL, in light of this newfound kumbaya I'd like to embrace, fighting for and agianst in almost equal measures, and knowing you seemed to be great at times and push buttons at times, but whatever I want to embrace goodness and forgiveness and on that note.. don't know about the group W bench but ok you may have the last laugh but no the choppers have gone away for almost or more than a week you know better than me but thanks for caring! ;) Small incesscent planes every other 2 days but not too bad considering, thank you! :D Lot less air traffic actually and if you sent good vibes I sincerely thank you! Regardless, this has been a fun summer and fall and hopefully much will come of this, thank you all!

hey where I was I saw a guy who was talking to himself in public constantly, granted I do it briefly then realize it but this guy seemed to be talking into a cell phone that was cardboard and then a 2nd time talking into nothing and completely to himself. To others, and perhaps my bro, that would be a laughable event and admit I considered that false wavelength and embraced it briefly, but then I realized that poor guy needed help and should get it, he did nothing to no one nor asked for anything from no one, unlike many phony well dressed sometimes aggressive beggars. That guy needs help and should get it, maybe me as well but it he gets what he needs I will be happy for the goodness of humanity.

aoh, does that mean you would talk to me out of mercy or would ignore the teen before you decided otherwise? Either way I respect you and your choice but hope if you meant something against me than maybe now you realize your mistake. otherwise if I misunderstood, sorry my friend. and shit... what... the rest of that name is... what did that mean? Anyway, I trust you all meant well and I thank you for it!

already done, had sent you a nice dbl rep, you know I'm always kidding you about the aircraft thing bro, but it is your most popular thread :)

and hey, on further reflection, if you really want to rid yourself FAST of someone like that guy; go ahead and ask him the above question, look him up & down while scrunching your eyes into tiny slits, then take out a notepad n' pen and start jotting things down as you continue to give him the hairy eyeball. You'll hear his tires spinning in the lot pronto.

oh! the group 'W' bench thing, dang! as a resident of new england you should recognize the lyric from Arlo Guthries tune 'Alice's Restaurant', Arlo was awaiting a secondary interview when he admitted to his fellow bench warmers that he'd been arrested for littering... "And they all moved away from me on the group 'W' bench.... and for creating a nuisance, they all moved back shaking my hand......."


something like that Toker, an Alice's Restaurant reference :)
