I'm about to move out of California at long last, to restore an old house in a distant land, start the initial planning phases of growing my own food on a larger scale around it, and a while after that, experience fatherhood for the first time.

I won't be completely off the grid, but I really don't like using my phone for anything but phone calls, and posting here while I have so many other things that take priority would be a really annoying and counterproductive distraction that I might get pulled into anyway if I got carried away or got into lurking and then saw someone proverbially wrong on the internet. I know very well how that tends to go by now.

I may return someday, probably when I have time to complete my next novel. It is currently a work in progress, and I will almost certainly want to share it here when it is done.

Until then, may you never stop posting, comrades!

I will miss you and always remember you for your frankly uncanny ability to pick the single worst 12-hour span to stop using this site.

I'm sorry to hear that you finally lost your temper with the Bazingas, but I also completely understand your point. As to fatherhood, it's a wild ride, but one I personally have found highly rewarding and meaningful.

In any case, I hope it goes well for you! kim-salute fidel-salute sankara-salute

Congrats on going from terminally online to permanent grass touching, but don't feel bad if you need to take a break at night and come back here to visit every now and then.

Good luck out there! outdoor-cat

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Best of luck comrade, if you need some farming tips don't be a stranger I know some stuff and I know some old grizzled types that know more than me that I can ask on your behalf.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Wish you the best, comrade. Hope you have a healthy birth and the wild life treats you and yours well

Does that mean we finally found the magical device that tells if someone wants to be born? 🤯

Best wishes to you for the next part of your journey comrade, that sure as hell sounds exciting!
