Yes.
It never quite comes into focus but the structure is always the same: I'm walking on a river bank when I hear a dog (or maybe a wolf?) yelping in a panic. I can see its head, just above surface in the middle of the rushing waters. It's paddling madly as it yelps, struggling to stay afloat. I dive into the waters and swim as fast as I can toward the drowning animal but its head disappears beneath the surface. When I get to where I think I last saw it, I swim deeper beneath the surface, even as I'm tossed about by the currents. Finally, I see something. It's the face of a woman. She appears calm and serene. And she's reaching her hand up to me from the murk. I can't really make out her features. I start choking and I wake up just as I reach for her hand. Always the same. I dream it at least once every ten days or two weeks or so.
I once almost drowned in the Pacific surf myself and I once rescued a dog who was drowning off the beach (its jaws stuck in a large, tubular piece of seaweed some twelve feet long), but I don't think this dream is about that.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up as an animal (and what animal would that be)?

Yes. Occasionally I have this dream where my Grandmother is still alive (we were close). It takes me a few seconds to 'come to' and realize she's been dead for a few years now.
Was the 1980's the last great decade?
EDIT: Whoops, 2 for 1.

Yes. Mr. Horsepower on my left shoulder, and an Iron Cross on my right. Was young and dumb. Should've left my skin alone.

No. The older I get, the more I appreciate old technology, and want nothing to do with the new. Nothing like roaming around a smokey Arcade as a kid, with a full roll of quarters in me pocket. The Jukebox probably blasting something from Joan Jett. The pinball machine using magnets to gutter the balls so I'd have to dump more quarters in... Legalized theft! But it was a good time.

lol.. This seems really strange, but.. When I was in the service, stationed in Korea.. I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to tour the DMZ. I went out drinking the night before and never got to go because I was too hungover :'( .. It has bothered me ever since.

Mainly my desktop (anything less than the best is a felony), but occasionally my phone.

No such photos were ever posted. Now get back on track!
Nope. Used to gather at my father's house but, well, with him having died of COVID last year, and with current travel frownies, this'll be the second Christmas in a row with no get-together. I mean, get together with who? His widow and her kids? Nope, don't think so.

I wouldn’t say that I obsess.. but I do keep lists of short-term and long-term goals (w/in 5 years) of things I would like to accomplish. I also make a list of things that need to be done for the house so I can prioritize and use time effectively. It helps that I’ve billed by the .10th of an hour for the past 2 decades.

No. My fridge is a mess. But everything in it is healthy.

I have a cheat day 1x per week, which is devoid of gluten.
Do you have any food allergies?
