i'm still not sure why people online need to have instantaneous person to person contact...
i remember the good old days of chat rooms and online thingos where people were just happy to talk to you online for a while, emails, instant messengers (old icq and original msn messenger)...
but it appears in the age of mobile phone 'apps', it seems to have changed things to a 'hit or miss' approach
in my case, there's a lot in the 'miss' column as i rarely meet someone soon after chatting to them online...
this morning i had someone contact me on facebook commenting how i was 'their type' and very much what they 'were looking for'... as soon as they tried to make a date (after 2 messages from their end, mind you), they just assumed that we would never catch up because i wasn't going to be at some bear event that he was coming overseas to attend..... so the conversation fell flat on it's ass even after i attempted to continue some sort of conversation...
meanwhile - i looked at the only picture available on his facebook profile and thought "gee, you're so my type - i love the look of a foggy lens with a partially visible bearded face who is neck high in pool water... i can see so much of you...."
it makes me feel that the online world has turned a lot more fickle and boring than it once was many years ago when i started talking to people..... for one thing, i don't consider facebook to be a dating website.....
i guess it adds to the whole 'fast paced world' bullshit that we live in these days...
the one where you have people who would build a house beyond their means from the get-go and buy an instant landscape to make it artificially 'perfect' for them...
i worked up to get the house i am in (which is currently beyond my means, but wasn't from the start), and i am yet to finish landscaping my place, cause i understand whilst i'd like it to look established, it takes time and money to get to the end result...
unfortunately i think this is my downfall when it comes to having valuations from the bank's lending perspectives.... it just looks unfinished, but it doesn't look horrible, and i certainly wouldn't have expected it to detract from a valuation point of view so much...
bin night tonight, i better go put the bin out before it's dark so there's less of a worry of touching webs and potential spiders that might be living in them...
grass looks good after mowing last night, and considering there was a decent drop of rain late last night, and some showers on and off today, i think i picked the best time to chop it back...
that'll do...
