It took me 5 clicks to learn that SOBCon08 wasn’t about male dogs. That is an area with which I am totally unfamiliar.
What, you don’t know either? It means “Successful and Outstanding Bloggers.” Don’t think I qualify. (And I don’t link because I’m a bad blogger.) I thought SXSW wasn’t my tribe; this is even the next level (or two) out.
From listener Dan Asimov of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Name a well known historical figure with a one-word six-letter name. The first and fourth letters are the same, the second and fifth letters are the same, and the third letter is one letter before the sixth, alphabetically. Who is it?
This one just came to me. Hint: the first/fourth letter is way late in the alphabet.
I’ve had a series of setbacks lately which have really affected me more than I thought anything could anymore. I mean, I figured that once my parents passed away, that would be it for emotional rollercoastering until Plagioclase and I had our own health problems. I didn’t expect “smooth sailing” for the next several decades, but I did have some hope that my enduring awkwardness would be mitigated by grown-up experience.
It seems it hasn’t. There’s no use going into details — let’s just say that over the past couple of weeks things have happened that make me realize that I am still just as shy, introverted and socially inept as I was at 15, and still just as devastated by it. It doesn’t help that I’ve been missing my mom and thinking about never having certain meals again — uninspired cook though she was, Mom did make some of my favorite comfort foods that just aren’t the same if I make them.
Anybody got a method for averting full-scale depression? I’d try drinking, but it keeps me up at night.
I’m not a registered anything party member, so the state of the Democratic Primary in Michigan really doesn’t mean anything to me. As a non-aligned voter, I get attention from both sides of the aisle, which usually annoys the heck out of me. This year, with all the sanctions, etc., the pre-primary campaigning was thankfully kept to a minimum. It was the quietest election season I think I’ve ever experienced. Now that the proposed rerun has fallen by the wayside, I can enjoy my peace for another couple of months.
Name something with 8 stars in 10 letters, using only the letters in the middle (letter) row of the keyboard.
Hint: Ten letters, but two words.
