PM if you're interested, people know my username and all that in real life, so I don't really want to put it in the open DU.

You're a great community and all so I figured I'd toss this out and see if there's DUers in the world still up at this late hour

Edit: I don't mean to worry anyone! I'm doing fine, I'm just a little lost, and looking for community and people to talk to.

Falling asleep now, thanks to everyone who responded. You are all fantastic.

[merrily]

1. Are you all right?

To be candid, I am getting tired, but if you have a need of some kind, I am willing.

[TM99]

2. I am up late.

What's up? You doing ok?

[F4lconF16]

[F4lconF16]

18. I like it here.

On a day when you need someone to talk to, it really reminds you that there are people behind these usernames.

[chillfactor]

19. that there is....

and many people with kind hearts and concern for the welfare of others

[chillfactor]

3. I am still up and enjoying a glass of wine...

A glass of wine sounds nice.

[merrily]

4. Three replies within 6 minutes at 2 am ish. Gotta love DU.

[chillfactor]

5. I am a night owl....

I am retired so always up late....

[merrily]

9. I am a night owl as well. This is a little early for me to be tired.

But, if there's a need, I'll put on a pot of coffee.

[chillfactor]

12. same here...

happy with my wine right now but coffee pot is ready if the need arises

[TM99]

6. Well, it is only 11pm ish for me.

[chillfactor]

8. ah you live on the west coast...

I am in mountain time so 12ish here.....

[TM99]

21. Yeah, I am usually about to about 3am or so.

I am working on a getting a new workstation class laptop setup for some music production and then to unwind I will get through a level or two of CoD Modern Warfare.

[chillfactor]

41. I am an old person...

my game is Scrabble.love playing against the computer..9 times out of 10 win

[TM99]

49. I am older I guess.

I just love video games. I have been playing them since the mid 1970's when I was a kid. I never outgrew them thankfully.

[peacebird]

53. I love scrabble too!

[merrily]

11. East coast here. On the bright side, I see the sunrise before it gets old

j/k it never gets old

[F4lconF16]

15. My goodness, how do you function?

A single night shift a week screws me up pretty good.

Gotta love that sunrise, though...I need to take my camera out more.

[merrily]

17. Both my husband and I seem to need little sleep.

Like Thomas Edison, only without inventing stuff or becoming very rich. (Not complaining at all. We do okay, just not Edison okay.)

[F4lconF16]

7. Wow yeah, I went to change clothes

Came back and wow. Love this place

[TexasTowelie]

10. Hello F4,

I'm going to be awake for awhile so please PM me. I might step away from the PC to handle an errand every once in awhile, but I should be able to keep up.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. I am up but, fading quickly ... rough shift at work. I hate working wkends.

But, if you think there is anything I can help with ... shoot me a PM.

[cwydro]

23. Hey Tuesday

The goose sends his regards lol.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. Bo Gander ... he is The Best.

I can't wait to meet him and your nemesis ... Henry, too

[cwydro]

25. Henry is asleep

Thank god.

But bogart is being a pest right now.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. I see below ... he is on the bed with you ?! Spoiled rotten, eh? Did you see my thread about

PorchCat? dude, I am so psyched

[cwydro]

33. No, dang it

Missed that.

Let me go look.

Yes, 3 ass a.m. On the Union/Anson line

And a goose on my bed.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

37. life is good, cwydro. really it is ... it doesn't get much better than a goose on the bed at 3am ...

you kinky devil, you

[TexasTowelie]

45. Okay.

Next time we want pictures!

Didn't you give me some guff about the Kappa Sigmas and hazing rituals?

[cwydro]

55. I have to learn to do the pic thing.

I used to know how to do it, but somehow forgot (old age lol).

[freshwest]

47. You are blessed.

[cwydro]

22. Yo, Cwydro here

Awake with a goose on my bed.

Yes, you read that right lol.

His name is Bogart.

[F4lconF16]

28. That is wonderful.

I hope someday my life brings me to a point with a goose named Bogart on my bed.

[merrily]

29. If life puts a goose in your bed, I hope he's housebroken!

[cwydro]

31. Kind of

Lol

[cwydro]

30. He is a lovely goose.

[F4lconF16]

35. I bet.

I have an obnoxious cat instead of a partially housebroken goose.

[cwydro]

36. I have cats too lol

Chickens and a very obnoxious rooster.

[F4lconF16]

38. I've wanted chickens for a while.

Don't have a place to put them as a renter.

[freshwest]

43. I feel your pain. Really! I miss dirt and animals.

[freshwest]

26. Well, I'm up and down, feeling like hell most of the time. Chat away.

Let's talk about your stuff, that's what I prefer. I don't like to talk about me. I might depress you. I'm not sure if I've got the same kind of lost you're talking about. Also, no doubt I'm much older.
Do you really want my input?

What I mean to say is, tell us about it and I promise I won't laugh.

[F4lconF16]

34. Eh, depress the heck out of me.

Always glad to hear someone's story.

Thanks for this post, it was touching.

I don't know, maybe you are lost in the same way. Anybody really know what's going on? It is a confusing world.

[freshwest]

40. Oh, no, you first! As far as being lost, it's all physical for me. No longer emotional or mental.

Simply exhausted. So if you are lost, what did you lose...

Faith
Friends
Family
Finances
Future?

The past is dead and buried, the future is made of what we do today until we die.

Great expectations lead to great pain if the song we are practicing is interrupted.

Promises broken do not just break a contract between us and.. whoever.

I've had a great life, and after a while realized that waiting for what I wanted, was missing the now, and that waiting for my life to get better or start, wasn't coming. My life is my problems, they are my work, the people I know are the ones I know.

Now, spill, you started this...

[TexasTowelie]

39. Come on freshwest,

Everybody knows that you are the life of the party and you're on the West Coast so you probably stay awake later than all of us.

[freshwest]

42. I'm thinking, hombre a hombre with the OP writer would work best with you.

Since you and him could have heartfelt talks about the meaning of life from the male point of view.

[TexasTowelie]

44. Yes, it looks like we could develop a rapport.

He was getting worn out tonight so I'll wait for him to follow-up tomorrow. I thought he would be older, but I hung out with the younger crowd even as an adult so I have a good idea of the problems that young men have at that age. The good news is that I think that he is safe for tonight.

By the way, I'm still trying to figure out the meaning of life and what I want to do or become when I get older. I recall one young man (who was in rehab) that I met wanted to become a strip club manager.

[freshwest]

46. The meaning of life is different for every person. Help him choose wisely tomorrow.

Every person has free choice. Free to obey or disobey the Natural Laws. Your choice determines the consequences. Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.

32. DU should have a live 24/7 chat option like Reddit/r/politics

or maybe there was and it didn't work?

There are 34 people at the reddit politics chat now (not a whole lot of talk though)

r/politics uses (free): https://kiwiirc.com/

[F4lconF16]

62. I don't know...

It's a cool idea, though. I'd like that. I might go check in ask the admins.

[F4lconF16]

63. Looks like they're not going to do it at the moment:

[F4lconF16]

58. Thanks!

[chillfactor]

51. Good night :)

[bravenak]

52. Sorry I missed you.

I wish I had been reading DU when you wrote this. I'll be here next time.

[F4lconF16]

59. There were many others who were here.

Thanks, Bravenak

[shenmue]

54. Nap time is good

U be okay.

[F4lconF16]

60. Naps are an integral part of life.

I slept well, and am feeling much better today.

[shenmue]

64. Yay!

[Holly_Hobby]

56. Hope you're better today

I would be lost without the people here. I come here for support on every little thing and get it.

If you want to talk to a live person, PM me your phone number. I have free, unlimited long distance calling.

[F4lconF16]

61. I am!

People on here are incredible, and I was blown away by the outpouring of support last night.

Thanks for the offer

[Holly_Hobby]

65. Anytime! Happy you're better :) n/t
