Happy 20th X! :) Aaand I guess that means I just hit... 17, is it? Just a few more till I hit that double decade too...
This deserves a waaaay longer nostalgia session though! :D Two decades! Crazy times! Hurrah! Hope you had some kind of local socially distanced celebration of sorts for this one. ;)
Yes brother same to you yes i believe 17 for you i stop counting after a bit. Or i loae memory lol
As for celabration lol nah just enjoying life one day at a time how about you
~X~
Not sure I'd remember my own anniversaries at all if you didn't remember yours! XD Such good timing with.
Sounds good, good times if you can enjoy 'em. :) I guess I'm taking a day at a time. A little pandemic tension and all but it's really not bad overall. Life goes on, time keeps flying, it's a strange kinda normalcy.
Wonder how your new business turned out? Still going strong with that?
Yes indeed as we get older time is always more important
Pandemic is going still so at times its streasfull but life still moves forward
Business is going good ill get to retire early from it and buy my house so all is good
Hows life on the other side of the world?
~X~
Mmm, and it's interesting how the more important it becomes the faster it seems to go...
For sure, and woah, life really is going good for you then! Early retirement man... sounds like it'll be pretty much impossible to ever catch up with those reviews then. XD
Wellll shops are closing en masse, gas prices are going up since everybody who can drives instead of commutes right now and restrictions on gathers keep shifting up and down; different places implementing creative ways of crowd control, like having a bowl with ping pong balls in front of a shop, from which everyone takes one when they go in and leaves one when they go out, to denote how many people are in said shop. Maybe not the ideal method in terms of hygiene and all but: entertaining ways from place to place. :)
Otherwise lotsa snow, lotsa working from home, days merge and grow monotone... that's about it. Plotting a vacation in March though. Hopefully new restrictions don't get in the way of that.
glad you're still around and flagging
hey xwayne long time no see, may I get some reviews for my latest flash submissions pretty please? also happy new year boy =)
go to sleep geez'r :o
Happy 22nd X!
Thanks. Oh dang you making me feel really old lol.
~X~
Haha well I'm not that far behind. XD Mid-life crisis kicked in a while back and I started questioning all the time I spend here again but... seems like that just might come and go at increments of ten or so. Then back to normal.
Now's a time of merriment and celebration anyway! Dedication's a beautiful thing.
Yes indeed awhile back i pulled back from the site and specifically stick with reviews when i can. Life has a way of giving you different visuals of life. And while i enjoy reviews. Sometimes there are more important things.
For me my small little business. And recently been building a stock market portfolio. Have to enjoy life and how it comes your way love loss. And life all surround us. Kind of sets things in perspective.

Mmm that's true, and of just taking away time from things you'd like to spend it on regardless. :) Incremental responsabilities amounting. It definitely is pretty cool to have been top reviewer for twenty years straight though; still have that going... good focus if there's not enough time to spare on everything. I'm still pretty spread out.
Noticed you haven't updated the profile blurb in a while btw. ;) The review count just goes up to 26k there.
Ah that's nice. Investing in stocks with a market as unstable as it is now though... is that going alright? Do you think it'll stabilize soon again? For me I think my parents set things in perspective most. It's so perceptable how they age. You realize nothing lasts forever; it's just impossible to spend time on everything... best make the things you do spend time on count.
As for stocks just gotta be selective. And do research and will be fine
I guess i should update my profile thing not sure there is enough space lol
As for top reviewer its been good. I try and ad more depth as the years go by. Only so much you can say about a steamy scene though lol
~X~
Mmm seems you know what you're doing at least. :) I've been investing a bit in property development myself, can get around 9-12% return/year there, not as lucrative as stocks but it seems safer. For now. Ought to read up a bit more and get into the big leagues eventually...
Hehe yeah, as long as blurb limitations allow for it!
Sounds like you might've been reading some of my reviews lately? XD Indeed some don't seem to require as much feedback, but it's nice to mix things up a bit too, just simple affirmations/shows of appreciation sometimes... then all out analytical on something that really merits it/if someone really asks for critique. Does take time to write long ones constantly too.
How ya been? Long time no speak
Good and how about you?

@XwaynecoltX same here. Was a Philly cop, moved outta Philly to the suburbs and now I’m looking to move outta Pa period lol. Head to the Midwest!!
Oh nice. I have been looking for land to buy recently came across east coast. But more probably mid west. Planning on retiring in 10 years.
