Lone Wolf Thread
At times, FTE is dry. Before holidays all kinds of stuff is hopping and popping. During and just after them it kind of dries up - this is expectable.
Most outgoing people are with their families and friends. Some of us have no family near, and our friends are busy with their own families. So everyone we know is offline.
We can go across the street or down the street and join them, or go online.
But online at these times is nearly dead.
That's normal. Normal people are getting together, no matter what it may be they are doing. They are not online.
Intrude in a friends home, when family is there? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Better a short visit, say hello, and go on.
Go find a "PARTY HOUSE" and hang out? NOT my scene... I know better.
I invite other "LONE WOLVES" to chime in. Maybe we can carry eachother through in times of slow forums. Maybe not. Dunno - it remains to be seen.
For all I know we may despise eachother.
But the idea stands.

the big deal is the poodles left when you are done with the leg.
the least you could do is toss a few paper towels down there first!!

I'm not supposed to climb up on the kitchen counters, or take anything whatsoever from them. That was very explicitly explained to me. If you're going to keep the paper towels way up there - you have no one to blame but yourself!
It isn't my fault you're too cheap to buy newspapers...
All the other mutts get the front pages with pictures of Obama on them, you're making me look bad to the others of my kind!

The ink runs and messes up the linoleum tiles. Do you really want to see the same GARFIELD cartoon on your floor for the next seven years?
I will admit he reminds me of myself. But he can keep his hairballs to himself!
"ODIE" I have no use for at all...
Let's not discuss Jon at all. His is a personality yet to form.

I know well where you're coming from with the OP. Especially in the winter when I'm house bound. Love Sassy to death but she's not a great conversationalist.
I don't do holidays anymore so "(a)lone" is pretty constant state.

July 4th I sat next to my truck, talked about my truck, walked the lot or chatted with others about their vehicles and generally had a blast all day at an auto show. Every person I talked to was a stranger, but I left with some new friends (one of them lives a mile away!). My family was out of state visiting the my wife's parents while I tended the home and business. Being alone on a holiday is a choice, not a requirement. Anyone who says otherwise only has a valid excuse if they live on a deserted island! 
The show was filled with antique cars (and not run of the mill, these were top notch restorations), muscle cars, a ton of antique Corvettes, 3 dragsters, several V8 Harley style motorcycles and only 6 trucks (3 of them were pre-1940 antiques). I entered my truck for the fun of it and due to the competion was not expecting anything other than great spot to sit in the show! I came home with a 5th place trophy --- not 5th in class (trucks), 5th in the show. I was floored. Heck, I didn't even dress it up! I also found a fellow boosted gearhead nearby with a fast as heck Lightning (now I'll know who it is and will stay away at the lights!) who has local sources I don't know of and visa versa so we can both help each other.
