Civ6 is "civilization 6" 

At some point "final" fantasy needs to be final...after 14 who do they think they are fooling?

I will stick to my SNES and continue to shave seconds off my super marion speed runs....and occasionally do some minecraft and Civ 6.

I hear you.  But I can't figure out which is worse. A 3 year old who won't listen or an adult.  On is irrational and the other is being defiant.

Before I met my wife (and subsequent kids) this was the path I was on...except I have a lot of brothers and sisters and one would have stepped up...maybe..or just throw me in the nearest hole while they cleaned out the bank account.

I will encourage you that you can find a friend.  While most loners never develop friendships, when they do it is very deep and lasting.

Prayers and encouragement to you.

I will make sure I stay inside when I fly through DTW this afternoon.  ?

Looking back is always an interesting exercise.  I got spanked more in 2018 than my previous adult life combined.  But for every 10 times I got spanked (by my wife), many times it still came up short.  Although we had some good ones in there too that were very satisfying.  Stick with it but be patient and I hope 2019 looks better for you.

Planning Christmas with which families on which days is enough variety in life right now.

Sounds like a "profit and loss"....boring accounting and business stuff.  Mine are due for the year soon.

@AfterGeometry if you wish to read more...I plan to write a part II with an update be time has not permitted.

I should expect an observation like this from you @AfterGeometry.

Well to be honest I find most detailed stories and reasons, etc. to be closer to fantasy than reality.  Most of our reasons are normal and most of the spankings are pretty boring from a story telling point of view.  If I wrote a book about our spankings it would be like reading legal reviews.

But if you must know I have a tendency to linger in bed in the morning and begin to get myself in trouble with my phone or acting out on depression and anxiety, or just plain acting inappropriate...etc.  We have found when I get out of bed and start my day more quickly, my days go better.  So the general idea is "get out of bed or I will...".  See boring.

Welcome back.

To fight this I find it helpful to draw lines between what I am important to and what I am not.  I find myself drawn into situations where I am not important and wasting my time there to begin with.  Wash your hands and walk away...you are not important.

This is contrasted with where I am important.  Family, close friends, church, etc.  

The secret to life is not finding importance everywhere but focusing your energy on where you do matter.  You can always find sombody to influence to help, spend your time on the right ones.

An American who does regular business with the UK and Europe.  I have colleguges, contractors, and clients in the UK I work with almost every week and visit as needed.

Well....Let's just say I was prepared to discuss it.  It was not unexpected and I agree this behavior needs to change.  So I just need to suck it up and make it happen.

Congratulations.  Regardless of when they come all life is precious.

@AfterGeometry All I really know of  brexit, other than the mechanical facts, is how it effects my business counterparts over there (and how much they complain about it).   It will also have an effect on some UK to mainland shipping we do...which is so little I am not worried about it.

The only thing I know for sure is the US to UK exchange rate went from 1.6 to 1.3 overnight...so I get to visit more often for less.  But somehow the cost of flights to heathrow went up proportionally overnight...mmmmm

It is?  I wanted to talk about Brexit or London realestate ownership tonight.  O well.  Guess I am stuck with rampant speculation on what Bill Clinton was doing in the summer of 82 at a country club in DC during his "break" from being Arkansas govener...do I have the story right?  Check wikipedia...his wearabouts are not known in the summer of 82.  JK...I am sick of it too.

I always get a good night sleep after a less-than-punishment spanking.  Even with a sore bottom I sleep like a rock.  Punishment spankings...those tend to wake me up when I rollover when my body screams "nope...not your back!!"

I can relate to the feeling and I get one almost weekly.  However, get one two nights in a row and you become more content waiting. 

As far as your meme, today as I was in a crawl space being a domestic handyman working in a tight dirty space... I was thinking...maybe I should have gone to work today, that would be easier.

If your are not a star trek fan, both spock and data struggled with the opposite problem.

While keeping a specific mentor is usually advisable.  If it does not work out...it does not work out.  It could be time to consider a new mentor.  If I remember correctly you are married...time to see if hubby is ready to step up? 

(If I am completely off or remember wrong feel free to ignore me.)

My wife must have heard @Christy.  A small misadventure yesterday turned into sore bottom today.  So I will step out of the order and let @Jenna1220 or @michgal.k have a second at bat.

Note to self.  Next time I get delayed flying through Detroit and it is a gray and rainy day...stay inside security.

I do consider myself blessed to have a wife who after all these years embraced this.

With that said...this was one step below a punishment level. Her shoulder hurt so she used lighter implements and learned how to flip her wrist at the last minute...she also read a book recently about positions and does not let me "cheat" anymore by getting out of position a ltitle bit.  Let's just say she is now VERY effcient in getting a point across.

It ended up being for several reasons.  1.  My grumpiness pushed it earlier...but not quite cross the line...but 2. When I did get grumpy she was happy I was able to talk about it with her...and 3. It had been a while.  All combined she decided I needed to reset.  

And reset she did...tried a few new  techniques.  Let's just say she is becoming a very good spanker.
