Actually my girlfriend who was a CNA (and black) was there and I relocated to be with her, got married, had a child, relocated to ATL, divorced... That's the abbreviated version...
Yeah some were transplants, some actually from there. But there were places in Oregon I wouldn’t go at night. The black population of the whole state was 6% when I lived there. Most of them lived in Portland. In reality Oregon is the twin of Alabama only with less blacks. In fact Oregon was...
Yeah. The black population in Eugene was less than 1% when I lived there from 2012 to 2018. You could go weeks without seeing another black person. More blacks lived in Springfield because Eugene had an ordinance on the books until the 1940s that blacks couldn’t live there…
I used to live in Eugene Oregon. The homeless situation is BAD there. Tent cities, people begging at almost every major intersection… I was surprised. What was really surprising was that these homeless people were 99% white. Those begging were white. Read the history of how Oregon was formed...
LOL nah, the gym has never been a problem, I've worked out and lifted weights since I was 15. Even with the post cancer effects, I am just a leaner version of myself. It's more foundational. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and interacting with women who grew up in them 80s and 90s means there are...
Hmmmm…. Not out of my league, but significantly younger. My second wife was 18 yrs younger than me. I recently dated a woman who was 22 yrs younger. Both experiences were educational for me…
When the very first Halloween movie came out, I went to see it at the theater. After I thought they had killed Michael Meyers and that dude got back up!! Horror movies were changed forever…
My perspective is a little different. I survived cancer. Part of my battle involved a stem cell transplant procedure in which my immune system was completely destroyed, my own stem cells that had been previously harvested were infused back into me to regenerate my immune system. I had to get all...
Ok. So I’ve always had separate accounts as well as joint account. I think my partner should have their own account with money they can do whatever with without me having to okay it. Also separate accounts have helped when the IRS comes knocking and wants to seize money for taxes. Yeah been...
People are destined to change… usually… how a relationship manages that change is the issue. Some relationships unravel as the people change, some don’t. There are a lot of variables too. Was it a healthy relationship initially or was it a trauma bonding thing? Have the needs of either changed...
Right, less time too connect as well as physical boundaries that sometimes prevent connecting. When I was a kid, where we lived, the neighborhood had sidewalks. People were walking on those sidewalks, kids playing in the yards near the sidewalk, and adults sitting on the porch watching the kids...
Rain has never stopped a date, that’s what umbrellas are for. Except, if it’s a severe thunderstorm, tornado or flash flood warning… I agree, if you’re gonna cancel, a phone call would be better, but I’m old school.
The kind of world we live in now. Some examples; how the neighborhoods are physically comprised, our work schedules, school schedules, free time, and the kinds of activities that we engage in are a few factors that come to mind..
I didn’t nor did I want it. People usually find what they go looking for, and sometimes they find stuff they weren’t looking for and wish they hadn’t found it… No my partner cannot go through my phone…
