My top 5 time slots Top 5 hours I spend~ 1. alone doing my own things or fixing things. 1a. 4 to 8hrs a day on the Internet, some of that time on ILIASM. 1b. Some reading about how things work, the processes of discoveries related to science, ot medicine, how things were discovered or something historical. 1c. Some individual's travel blogs. 1d. Financial research on the Internet. 1- These are ways to research options and at the same time avoid conflicts, some times. They become mental escapes and sometimes a positive influence. I need to stay away from cops shooting people videos and cops that use their power to intimidate people or that are on power trips.
2. W because we are retired and both at home many hours a day. 2- I spend too much mental effort on her.
3. Yoga friends a couple hours a week. 3- My activities with my yoga friends is good for me. No opinion if it hinders me, I don't think they do. I don't share much personal stuff.
4. Some customers or a work associate in a similar business. 4- Customers are customers. My work associate thinks I need to see a lawyer.
5. Someone I meet on a bike ride or when I stop for a drink. 5- I only talk about something I think we have in common. I meet some interesting people. It brightens my day.

Question for the day- With whom do you have your best conversations? I suppose it's kind of sad, but all my best conversations are with strangers on the internet. I don't have any real conversations with people in real life. I remember I used to with friends back in highschool, but I haven't seen anyone from there since I left for college. We all just drifted apart, went on with our separate lives, and I only know about them through the occasional Facebook post with pictures of new pets, kids' achievements, home improvements, etc. and since I have nothing new in my life to post, I'm not in their news feed. I have effectively disappeared from the lives of my friends. It's nobody's fault. We just lost touch and now they have moved on to their futures which don't include me.

I think you may be overly hard on yourself here h . It is a lot easier to have meaningful conversations about that which matters to us most under the cloak of anonymity provided by an online medium. I guess it comes down to how you define ‘best conversations’. I certainly discuss stuff here I couldn’t contemplate in the real world. If this is what matters most to you it’s not sad at all, and somewhat to be expected.

I agree with isthisit- it is easier to have discussions about issues that are sensitive in an online setting rather than face to face. For so many years, I thought I should keep my issues private and did not share my concerns with anyone. When I shared concerns with my h, I often felt worse about them. After so many years of holding things in, I ended up having a complete emotional breakdown. Since then, I’ve learned to trust close friends (both virtual and in person) and have shared very intimate details with them. I am so grateful now to have them in my life. Knowing they are there to support me has been a big comfort as I go through my separation. I recently talked to an acquaintance and shared with her that I was separating from my h- she revealed that she had made the decision to do the same and had just consulted with a lawyer. Goes to show how we can interact with someone on a daily basis and still have no idea they are suffering from the same anxieties we are. It pays to open up a little bit so that we can share our struggles and support one another.

My best conversations are with Internet friends and the lady I take to yoga. I trust my Internet friends to give me better feed bck than my yoga lady. She is nice to people but she needs to be more of a realist.

Question for the day- With whom do you have your best conversations? I have been thinking about this since yesterday and I guess it depends on the understanding of the word ‘best’. I have chosen interpret best as most fun and thought provoking so my answer is with children I come across in my work. They can be uncomplicated, inspiring, articulate, perceptive, brutally honest and socially unfiltered in ways that is refreshing and thought provoking. Above all they are usually damn good fun to talk to.
