It feels like it has become a form of stockholm syndrome to pop in and see how dead this place remains and feel melancholic over the past, then forget about it and check it again in 8-10 months.

I agree, I know in my case the removal of the emblems and profile levels seriously impacted my desire to engage with the content on site.

I live in a rural municipality about a 10 minute drive from a city of 50,000~ and 40 mins from a city of 250,000~ works fine for me, nice and quiet and a short drive to amenities.

I like it in small amounts, my tolerance isn't super high so it can often just ruin a meal because I can't focus on the taste of anything from my tongue being on fire.

There were plans to meet blackrytonite, if anyone remembers her, some unfortunate life stuff got in the way that kept that from happening.

In no particular order: Moody Blues, John Fogerty, Lukas Nelson, Kiss, Megadeth, Motorhead, Volbeat, Lucana Coil, Nothing More, Ghost, Iron Maiden, Graveyard, Sabaton, Havok, Testament, Anthrax, Slayer, Children of Bodom, Behemoth, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disturbed, Theory of a Deadman, Bullet for my Valentine, Santana, Alice Cooper, Shinedown, Coheed and Cambria, Metallica, all of which I've seen with my mom she's the #1 concert companion lol.

I got into crochet and made a frog prince, honestly one of the things I've felt the most pleased with to date.

I ate there once and remember thinking even for fast food it was really poor.

I feel like those days are long passed now unfortunately, besides the huge slowdown on these forums in general when the site redesigned I get the feeling life makes the time fly by for most, I could have sworn I was checking back here more often, but nope a few months went by.
