Man, this is bullshit... fully almost a month ago, I figured out how to use bitcoin so I could get some methylone for myself and several friends for New Year's Eve. I initiated an order for bitcoin and was told it would be 5 business days - that's fine, I started it way early for that purpose. Well, 5 days went by, then 7, then 8, and I contacted them. After days, they got back to me, oh oops they said, somehow it never showed up in their system. Okay, we'll initiate it again. STILL not showing up. Apparently they've never seen that happen before. Well to make a long story short, after many back-and-forths, each of which took about 2 days, they finally get it to show in the system so I have to wait 5 more days. Today the bitcoins finally arrived, just in time to probably get it shipped and arrived just in the nick of time, and what do you know, the vendor has closed shop until January 9th. What a hassle. So far my bitcoin experience has been quite negative.
On the upside, it's almost Christmas and I'm with my family. I spent the day today shopping with my dad and helping him with everything (he can't really take care of himself anymore, ALS is a fast progressing illness, shockingly so when you're not around regularly). I even had to help him pee. It's a bit unnerving but overall it feels really good that I've had this time to really just focus on spending time with him, since every other time I've visited I've had to work from my parents' house and didn't really get to fully relax and just be there. And I got to give my mom a break from it for an afternoon. I have a load of respect for her, I mean I did already, but she does SO much for him, and she never complains and stays cheerful.
Besides that, I've gotten to see a variety of old friends including spending time with one of my best friends from college... he just started a new business and I helped him set up his space, along with more weed smoking than I've done since college. Tonight I'm seeing one of my oldest best friends, from my middle school crew, and then another of my oldest friends, along with my brother and some of his friends who I've known since they were in early grade school. And tomorrow I'll see ANOTHER old friend and then at night we have the annual Christmas Eve party where all kinds of people are going to be having all kinds of fun late into the night.
And also I'm leaving now the day after Christmas so I have a full day of not having to work after I get home before it's back to the grind. My main motivation for this is seeing my girl a day earlier and getting to spend a whole night, and following day and night, with her. I miss her so much by now that it hurts. But just a few more days.
Hi everyone...
I've decided to leave BL. I've asked to be relieved of my mod duties here, so I just wanted to say bye to everyone. I hope that all of you will be safe and well! There are many of you that I will miss, and maybe I'll come back one day, but it won't be for many years if so. Thank you, especially to all of the mods I've grown close to, and certain BLers I see here and there. Take care.
Damn man, that sucks, I'll be sad to see you go. You can always put people on ignore who are bothering you.
