Dear Tito, using emojis again... 😲🤣

Chloe Cooper10 said:Look, Napy, ironcobra13—those aren't just random drop-ins... those are my actual friends from that old coffee shop that really should have closed down ages ago; they have a standing spot right here at our bar whenever they feel like stopping by.🙂

I suppose I did train him quite well, didn't I? 🥳
It seems you all wait until I've stepped away to show up. 🕺

I honestly don't know what you slipped into his coffee, but I don't even recognize the man anymore. I've known him for years—and in all that time, I don't think I ever saw him use more than two smiley faces. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, he drops three of them in a single post.

Pure shock and disbelief!

Whoever managed to possess him, please, just step out of the unknown.

😁

velveteagle8 As I have previously observed—and I do believe this bears further scrutiny—it seems that...
So, it appears we have reached a point where only high-level visits are being sanctioned—leaving those of us on the ground to simply observe from the sidelines. It feels as though we are merely following protocol now, acting out the motions purely to honor the old ways of doing things.😁
I am feeling restless—honestly, just bored. A man reaches a point where he starts searching for new content, new faces, and entirely different challenges... he craves fresh blood—and blood, in its purest sense. 😁
Well, I suppose I shall see you all at some future encounter—assuming, of course, that I can actually secure a reliable internet connection once I move into the assisted living facility. 😁

In one particular post—I believe I’ve known you for quite some time now—you actually included a smiley face. 😁

velveteagle8 said:Sure thing—I actually live for those behind-the-scenes stories that aren't meant for the public eye, even if they are for me.😁
It is much the same on my end—except everything I have to say is public knowledge, though I honestly can't imagine who would find it particularly interesting.
Regarding Tito's birthplace—one travels there exclusively on foot... we have already settled that matter... and don't make me go back and double-check.
As for Henry... I was visiting him over in Des Moines about a month ago; we spent our time driving around and drinking near the river.
I might have even eaten the best pancake of my entire life while I was there.
We don't really stay in constant contact, mind you—they just know I am around, and when everyone decides to meet up or organize something, they just let me know where the action is.
They are out by some oceans right now, or so I hear—and I am quietly preparing for my own trip as well... a trip to Baja, naturally.
I followed in your footsteps on this forum—disappeared for a month, and then I come back and immediately start causing trouble... people are going to think I am some sort of difficult person, but really, you can't win with me.

Of course. I will walk all the way to that small town in Pennsylvania. 😁

I am around here every single day; I just rarely make it down to this specific section. I simply don't feel like it. As for the stories—it isn't that they *should* interest anyone, but since they aren't relevant to the forum, I see no point in spilling them publicly. To you, however, I can tell quite a lot. 🙂

Give my regards to Henry when you speak to him—and to unknown, of course.

Anyway, I am heading off for now. I am watching a series, so I will likely fall asleep soon. I overdid it a bit last night, so I haven't exactly caught enough sleep.

You know how to reach me—so whenever you have the time and the inclination, just give me a nudge.

🙂

velveteagle8 said:As for me—I've decided to wet my whistle at this local diner and have a little chat with Tito’s portrait hanging on the wall.
I'm doing fine; I really don't have any complaints.
How about you? Pull up a chair, light one up, or head over to the bar and grab yourself a drink—if someone happened to pass away right there in your seat, just nudge them aside or kick them to the corner—someone will pick them up eventually when they walk in... but I certainly won't.
I'm just sitting here drinking a beer, staring at this busted-up piano, waiting to hear how you're doing—Phil can wait a bit if he needs to.

😁

There isn't much happening, yet there are a million things going on—it's just that they aren't meant for public consumption. We'll get into all that once the time and inclination are right. Everything else is standard: life is good, healthy, and beautiful.🙂
Speaking of Tito, I'm actually planning to visit the childhood home of the only American son whom I hold in such high regard and affection. It won't be my first time visiting, mind you, but I suppose a certain special kind of nostalgia has been gripping me lately.
Regarding the forum, nothing special or out of the ordinary. You know me... it's the same old story. I find myself messing around with various projects wherever the opportunity arises—which happens quite often. Perhaps that isn't the most productive way to live. Still, I am a good person, through and through.

How is Henry doing? How's the crew? Are you still seeing them?

Nice decor!

Epics :*

Hey there—how have you been? What's new with you?

Where is everyone at?

Oh, Milena. She’s finally developed some curves.

Rachel Palmer56 said:She’s actually doing some real work—☕though she’s been swamped with tasks and hasn't moved an inch lately.☕

He’s on vacation, and I have to admit—he's quite charming.😉

🙂

And here I was, thinking you were absolutely adorable.☕

Are you out at the beach?

Give my best to the golden retriever.😁

Drew Lee9 said:that jerk 😁

🤣

Drew Lee9 said:What am I even writing here? Hmm... let's just call it something a bit "gritty"🕺

🤣

Rachel Palmer56 said:The days are passing by—which is fine, really—and honestly, it’s been quite nice having a bit of peace and quiet without all those freeloaders hanging around for once.😉

They are all perfectly fine options.🎉

By the way, what exactly is this group discussing—what is it you're writing about, if I may ask?😁

Vacation time? I've already burned through mine. I just tacked a few extra days onto a weekend and called it a wrap. It goes by much faster than you'd expect.

Where is Mila Kunis?

Drew Lee9 said:not really—I simply lack both the motivation and the inspiration🤷

It is likely just a passing phase—one that we all inevitably encounter at some point. Even for me, things have reached a sort of plateau. There is no upward momentum, no downward spiral; just a perfectly flat line where nothing truly explodes and nothing quite sinks.

Drew Lee9 said:Of course, 🎉

I’ll be around, naturally. :*

So, are you actually getting anything down on paper—any sign of inspiration lately?

Drew Lee9 said:Anyway, what about you?

Yes—everything is under control. I am pushing forward.
Perhaps I will make a quick trip out your way one weekend. If I do, you owe me a coffee.

Drew Lee9 :*

How is everyone doing today?

Milena, where is my coffee??

Rachel Palmer56 said:Beauty Queen😘

Hey there, gorgeous :*

How have you been? 😁

Where are you all located?

Chloe Cooper10 said:It needs a little more chill vibes🙂

I'll be there, obviously. Once I'm back from the gym. :*
