    From Rachel@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 16 11:31:27 2022
    do seniors and disabled know you can get all your basic needs covered through medicare?

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card, which i did, and
    there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action, and they take a big
    chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget, because this
    is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this flex card had a
    long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in commercials as a
    kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired, and huddled masses.
    ..

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america, even as a small
    child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig themselves, and
    like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all sitting around
    in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of people like it....i
    couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is still (and
    probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel, not too thick,
    and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower hair out of the
    way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card, which i did,
    and there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action, and they take a
    big chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget, because
    this is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this flex card
    had a long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in commercials
    as a kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired, and huddled
    masses...

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america, even as a
    small child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig themselves,
    and like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all sitting
    around in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of people like
    it....i couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is still (and
    probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel, not too
    thick, and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower hair out
    of the way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i shave my head

    are you delivering a secret message ?

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card, which i
    did, and there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action, and they
    take a big chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget,
    because this is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this flex
    card had a long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in
    commercials as a kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired,
    and huddled masses...

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america, even as
    a small child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig themselves,
    and like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all sitting
    around in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of people like
    it....i couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is still (
    and probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel, not
    too thick, and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower hair
    out of the way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i shave my head

    are you delivering a secret message ?

    oh

    are you drunk already ?

    your time is not the same as my time

    how do you know? you can't remember.

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card, which
    i did, and there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action, and they
    take a big chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget,
    because this is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this flex
    card had a long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in
    commercials as a kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired,
    and huddled masses...

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america, even
    as a small child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig
    themselves, and like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all
    sitting around in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of
    people like it....i couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is still (
    and probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel, not
    too thick, and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower hair
    out of the way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i shave my head

    are you delivering a secret message ?

    oh

    are you drunk already ?

    your time is not the same as my time

    how do you know? you can't remember.

    i can see it in your post

    that's old news

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card, which
    i did, and there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action, and they
    take a big chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget,
    because this is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this
    flex card had a long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in
    commercials as a kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired,
    and huddled masses...

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america, even
    as a small child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig
    themselves, and like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all
    sitting around in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of
    people like it....i couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is still (
    and probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel,
    not too thick, and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower
    hair out of the way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i shave my head

    are you delivering a secret message ?

    oh

    are you drunk already ?

    your time is not the same as my time
    how do you know? you can't remember.

    fuck you, asshole

    do you like shaved balls or hairy balls

    this is supposed to be private...

    i just saw this commercial before the video for a "flex card," but that sounds like it's a middleman, cuz at the bottom of commercial, they flashed it quickly, medicare3.com, almost like, you're supposed to miss it and google flex card,
    which i did, and there are a few big sites at the top, with totally different random foreign website addresses for this flex card. sounds like 3rd party access, same as lawyers advertising through the media for compensation for injuries, class action,
    and they take a big chunk of it, cuz they are aggressively reaching out to tell you about it, to be the first, but also, make a bundle out of your case.

    but basically, it's like everything you could ever need, groceries, medicine, transportation i think, everything. there was a much longer list, and it was amazing, it was everything you need to live and take care of yourself, but i forget,
    because this is all i ever use, almost, at this point in my life (fingers crossed), i can't remember what else they said, and because it showed medicare3.com i believe this is all available through medicare straight, if you just call and ask about it.

    i mean, i'm surprised there is a commercial for it at all, don't people get some basic monthly stipend automatically anyway if they have medicare? if you don't have everything covered, well, it's apparently totally available for you. this
    flex card had a long shocking list. you know, "like wow." (unless i just got duped from a rotting brain) just call medicare directly and look into it. i'm sorry if this was a ruse and it's nothing other than what people already get. i never believed in
    commercials as a kid, but the government helps take care of me, i think people are entitled to a lot more than they are aware....? i have truly begun to wonder if this is what they mean when they say, "this is a free country." give us your poor, tired,
    and huddled masses...

    i wonder if the people who think it's a bad thing to accept government relief based on some kind of artificial work ethic, something in which i don't even believe, in *some* sense, (i knew i never wanted to be part of corporate america,
    even as a small child, with an almost animal-like vehemence) to cont...if they aren't aware that there are channels through which they too can access benefits for themselves, and can help them get it, as well? or maybe they don't want it, and they dig
    themselves, and like going to work, whatever it is, and it gives them a sense of pride and dignity, self-esteem and identity, so much so they also dig putting other people down to puff themselves up? cuz i've read some of their comments online, like all
    sitting around in their armchairs like vultures discussing together in group about how ayn rand took government aid. i guess maybe that was more about irony, perhaps? it seemed like a good book, but i could never get past the beginning. but a lot of
    people like it....i couldn't write a book (or a thesis) if my life depended on it.

    but i guess you just have to remember, regarding all these benefits, with freedom comes responsibility, because being totally enabled can lead to horrific outcomes if you are weak and don't take care of yourself, speaking as one who is
    still (and probably always will be) struggling, and learning the hard way. 😣

    i don't know what it was about this flex card, they show medicare benefits commercials ALL_THE_TIME, this one just got to me...maybe it was just extremely clever in its presentation.

    like the few (i can only think of two right now) times i have been moved by an infomercial and bought products off tv, ha ha.

    actually, i'm not kidding, like at least one thing i bought, (i guess one out of two i can recall at the moment) i think is really cool. like this hair thing, i have a couple of them, bought at once, it's a very unusual shaped little towel,
    not too thick, and it's for long hair. you use it to wrap it up, like in a turban, for after the shower, and then tuck it under the back of it at the nape of your neck, i think i may have mentioned it before....and it's a great way to keep after-shower
    hair out of the way, not to wet/dampen the couch or sofa chair or your bed pillows or backrest.

    i shave my head

    are you delivering a secret message ?

    oh

    are you drunk already ?

    your time is not the same as my time
    how do you know? you can't remember.

    fuck you, asshole

    do you like shaved balls or hairy balls

    this is supposed to be private...

    aren't balls part of the privates

    bob, stop it

    of course! just shoot me an email, to confirm your appointed time, then come over and gently knock! we'll be expecting you! the luhhhv-shack, a little ol' place where we can, get to-geh-ther-er....

    that's me, mr. l'khaiyim's boy, dreydel l'khaiyim..🪳

    you're so f*cking full of sh*t, you're never coming, like it's a big joke, now you have permission, that's all you needed, it's all a big fat joke, i trust your judgement, looking forward to seeing the set, sounds like a plan, rachel's dirty disgusting
    carpet, whatever it is, damsel in distress, keep a noise journal, invite neighbors over for tea, you don't have to worry anymore, i'm making my last-go-round, etc...etc...etc...etc...etc... it's a free country, free speech and all!!!! how bad could it
    possibly *beeeeeeeeee*?!!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!?!? those concentration camps are NICE!!!!!!!! just watch the video!!!!!!!!! where have all the flowers gone?!?!??! yes, don't forget a big happy bouquet of flowers which will die in 3 days, with a big grinnin'
    cheesin' smile, "heeeeeere's johnny!!!!!!!" just what we always wanted to mend our broken heart.

    i don't think you even know yourself. i could be totally wrong, but....when your smile meets my smile....you think you're coming with a smile, if you ever even do??? you're pretending, projecting yourself from there to here, with your spontaneous mirror-
    induced singular smile, it will never last, from there to here, DOING IT, the REAL you will come back, and it will either be a big fat fucking *FAKE* smile, *OR*, you'll be yourself, the nice, normal, sweet, slightly nervous, confused, questioning
    perfect stranger...the one i've always cared for, except for the first time, you wont be *lost* anymore. and soon enough, you'll know you aren't lost anymore, EITHER. i hope.....

    "SHUT UP!!!" <s.g. = slow grin...>

    ps i don't play chess is that a problem ? i mean, i know *how,* but i don't like it, and i'm certainly not a whiz at it (checkers? connect 4? maybe mastermind? not very good at that one, probably can't do it anymore, same as math... othello? don't play
    backgammon well, either, never cared for that one, rummy, etc...? break the ice? jax? uno? pick-up sticks?) do you talk? i don't know anything. is that okay? (other than what i remember of what i said.)

    see you maybe never ? 😵

    is that a fact

    no, it's a relative evaluation

    oh good i hate facts
    common sense has yet to be standardized ;-)

    are you being anything right now? if so, why?

    nope i'm nothing

    that's a polite way of putting it

    that's me , mr polite

    stop checking in the mirror all the time

    you're not very smart

    maybe you hung around the wrong people

    watched too many movies and been to too many parties

    it's not that bad

    what kind of idiot are you , to espouse hollywood celebrity culture ? >>>
    you really think those lists mean anything ? i thought you were better than that ...

    like i said , you're not very smart

    just don't forget to " flush! " :)

    can i watch you go down as you spin in the whirlpool

    of course! just shoot me an email, to confirm your appointed time, then come over and gently knock! we'll be expecting you! the luhhhv-shack, a little ol' place where we can, get to-geh-ther-er....

    that's me, mr. l'khaiyim's boy, dreydel l'khaiyim..🪳

    you're so f*cking full of sh*t, you're never coming, like it's a big joke, now you have permission, that's all you needed, it's all a big fat joke, i trust your judgement, looking forward to seeing the set, sounds like a plan, rachel's dirty
    disgusting carpet, whatever it is, damsel in distress, keep a noise journal, invite neighbors over for tea, you don't have to worry anymore, i'm making my last-go-round, etc...etc...etc...etc...etc... it's a free country, free speech and all!!!! how bad
    could it possibly *beeeeeeeeee*?!!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!?!? those concentration camps are NICE!!!!!!!! just watch the video!!!!!!!!! where have all the flowers gone?!?!??! yes, don't forget a big happy bouquet of flowers which will die in 3 days, with a big
    grinnin' cheesin' smile, "heeeeeere's johnny!!!!!!!" just what we always wanted to mend our broken heart.

    i don't think you even know yourself. i could be totally wrong, but....when your smile meets my smile....you think you're coming with a smile, if you ever even do??? you're pretending, projecting yourself from there to here, with your spontaneous
    mirror-induced singular smile, it will never last, from there to here, DOING IT, the REAL you will come back, and it will either be a big fat fucking *FAKE* smile, *OR*, you'll be yourself, the nice, normal, sweet, slightly nervous, confused, questioning
    perfect stranger...the one i've always cared for, except for the first time, you wont be *lost* anymore. and soon enough, you'll know you aren't lost anymore, EITHER. i hope.....

    "SHUT UP!!!" <s.g. = slow grin...>

    ps i don't play chess is that a problem ? i mean, i know *how,* but i don't like it, and i'm certainly not a whiz at it (checkers? connect 4? maybe mastermind? not very good at that one, probably can't do it anymore, same as math... othello? don't
    play backgammon well, either, never cared for that one, rummy, etc...? break the ice? jax? uno? pick-up sticks?) do you talk? i don't know anything. is that okay? (other than what i remember of what i said.)

    see you maybe never ? 😵
