On the bus

Hi buni. It's a pleasure to see you. I enjoy people so it's great to have this opportunity. I really like iluvsmetuna. He's a gentle soul in my opinion. You know I get frustrated sometimes with this site. There's so much I'm okay you're not okay. I even find myself doing that.

But then I guess expressing anger and frustration is a part of being yourself too.

All I'd say is people relax and be yourself, I accept you.

Yes ve be drinking the vodka to relax, yes?

Hi. I enjoy you. I enjoy everyone. I find something in all the people I meet. Listen I don't want to say something that might upset someone but Md is welcome and you are welcome. All are welcome.

Ha buni. No, we don't need alcohol to relax. All we need to do is not worry, just relax and be ourselves.

See that's why we don't need to know who we are to relax and be ourselves. We are okay just being our natural selves. I think we are conditioned to believe we have to try. Do this do that do the other. Buy this buy that. People we are enough.

Anyway I accept you. So relax and be yourselves and I will too.

So okay we've established the rules. The rules here are there are no rules. I have one though. It's a polite request. Bring me your words and I'll bring you mine. I want to know you. How you think and feel. It's more interactive that way.

What? No vodka? Great wise russian drunk once say: no vodka no polka. No one understand of course. He was drunk.

Ha ha

I do like vodka actually. I enjoy the buzz it brings me and the taste too. It's true that alcohol can relax us in a lovely way. Being sleep deprived can do the same at times. But you know all we need to do to relax is to stop worrying . Don't worry and relax. You're safe with me. I accept you.

what shall we talk about, though?

I love meeting new people, but one thing that's hard to do here is to get a sense of a guys hometown and what he does.

for example perhaps a guy describes what brought him to New york city and what he loves and doesn't love about it.

I would tell him about country life here in Pennsylvania.  hiking in the woods; fishing in the rivers (i like river fishing better than stream and lake fishing),  having a big ole garden (and praying for rain),  getting ready for deer season,etc.

the problem with the forum, is that perhaps are abstract and hide their identity.  they pretend to be women.  they mock others.

sometimes I think too many people are actually very young; and I remember when I was much younger- how mean and intolerant teenagers can be.

 

I can tell you are sincere and I like your direct style of telling people what you think.  but it is Hard to "meet" and "know" people properly on chess.com.

Okay. So we've established the basis of this thread. Relax and be yourself. I'm going to do that too and we'll see what happens.

Are you saying I'm not an undead bunny? I'm insulted. You need more vodka.

I totally live on the edge of sleep deprivation. but no vodka /hard liquor for me.  I figure I'm really best staying away from that stuff.

lots of people in my family have been irresponsible and were not there for their family due to drunkenness.   One of my distant relatives actually died over it- he fell asleep (passed out) on train tracks.

Hi the great. Well all I can say is I've let it all out on these forums. I'd say I have talked openly about both my life and my feelings and I've been beaten up quite a bit as a result.

I found it hard at one stage, I still struggle a little from time to time. I think though I've toughened up a bit .

Basically though although I wouldn't say I'm a particularly morale person I have a certainty that I mean well and that sustains me.

Anyway when you relax and be yourself you let these things wash over you.

I enjoyed your post, thank you.

I'm always a little sceptical of people liking me . Things change quickly around here! It's like a bar brawl sometimes and we all get caught up in it.

Okay buni. I don't often know what to say. But I'm happy to have you here'

Nobody has ever had drinking habits in my family and I'm not an exception.

:-) honestly though, alcohol is a good servant but a terrible master. It would be safer not to take it at all.

As for what to talk about . Well for me I'll talk about whatever comes naturally and I invite all and everyone to do the same. Just let it all hang out. It can be relevant to something I've said or someone else here or not relevant to anything posted prior here . It's just nice to chat in a group environment . Vibrant.
