I think I want to go find a cave in which to live out the rest of my days.
I am so tired of human beings right now.

1. I can relate.
I feel like that off and on for weeks at a time. Especially when I'm at work and I can't seem to control my disdain for the place and the people when that's happening.

Sorry you're experiencing it, too. :hug:

But I will get over it.

Maybe I will finally run away and join the Circus.

3. I would like to hide in a cabin in the woods.
I'd be that weird hermit lady that nobody bothers.

5. Want a roommate?
I know I'm human and all, but I'll pay rent and bring beer. And I'll bring a radio so we can listen to baseball.

It's been a helluva week - and this week ain't lookin' much better. Or the week after that. And the one after that....

Chiropterans!! Sorry..one of the professors I worked with in college was nick named "bat man" so you can guess why I'm all nerdy about that..He even had a real life "bat detector" which would pick up the inaudible portion of the bat echo location cries..it was way cool....

Which brings us back to "twins" — but I digress.

43. Yes, the cognitive dissonance really makes my head hurt at times.
Especially since the Twins have not had a "prototypical" DH since 1987

A clue here. It is not the maple, it is the fact that the handle of the bat is only about one inch in circumference.

52. That's something I don't understand
I get that a top-heavy bat puts more power on the ball, given the same bat speed, but it also sacrifices bat control.









Oh, wait — what was I thinking?? Nobody's talked about "bat control" since the '80s, because it doesn't have that much to do with homers. :eyes:

32. I looked into becoming a hermit once.
There was too much red tape involved.

I settled for being geographically undesirable.

40. Can I come? I'll help clean up the cave and kill stuff to eat and stuff.
Plus I have a wicked cool mountain bike in case one of us gets hurt or sick so we could get to the hospital.

Also, since I know you are tired of people right now I could act like the wicked cool mountain bike and just sit there in the cave until you needed me like a rock or something, I don't mind. I'm used to that sort of thing.

I also have a cool first-aid kit from Walgreen's.


Thank you,


Brad.

50. This may sound FORWARD but... KitchenWitch if you share your cave with me or
share my cave with me I PROMISE that we will be happier together as cave dwellers than Samuel Jackson could ever HOPE to be. We would be like the Prince and Princess of Central Park only in CAVES.

George Dawes Green and Judy Blume all in one. How could you hope to resist such a compelling offer?
Of course you could not.

PM me with your answer or grocery list.

Thank you,

Brad.

53. I have a strong hermit pull sometimes.
I hide in my loft, and lock the door.

I like people but sometimes I need to just be by myself, this weekend was rough.

I can't tell you how much I hated people during early voting in the primaries.

54. Sounds like you and your local crazy cat lady need to swap for a week
She'll groom and brush your family and rub them behind the ears, and you can tell her cats how long you were in labor with them and to clean up their damn rooms!

57. I have days in which I want to hide out in a cave as well. For one thing
I breathe better in a cave.

May I suggest, however that you choose a cave with a warm year round temperature. In Kentucky, most caves are 54 degrees year round which can get a bit cool.

I would suggest as far south as you can go. Cave will still feel cooler than outdoors.

Although, after about 15 or 20 hours underground, I am usually quite ready to come back out again.
