....Ancient condiments, including a bottle of garlic mayo old enough that I thought it might be developing sentience and should maybe be enrolled in preschool. A box of nails in with the silverware. A gaming manual in the cupboard with the plates. Dust for miles. I even hauled up all the stuff he had stored in the crawlspace, which was...an adventure. This, friends, is how the zombie apocalypse starts. Not in a lab. In the fridge door of some American bachelor, where the Monster Manual meets the mayo.
How screwed up this world is today and the people that made it that way.
I grew up in NJ and it is a complex blend of society from all walks of life and races. I moved to Maine expecting a calmer more trusting and caring way of life to find out half that state has a bitter disdain for outsiders.
Look at our President! Rural America is known for their hatred for big cities. Why did they vote for their worst citizen. Gold his favorite color, him bashing Camp David because it is too country, the farthest thing from God, etc.
I met a guy that went into automatic Gun defense when the Las Vegas shooting was on TV! The shooter just showed how to kill the most people by following law. Everyone calls him sick or mentally disturbed which he is but what made him that way. I think our government is mentally disturbed for treating their government position as just a job not recognizing the cumulative impact their decision or lack of affects all of us. If you can't fight 'em, join 'em. That is what the next generation is seeing how to live or totally revolting and not caring.
If you can trace all the problems in your life it will inevitably lead to people. You can't stop mother nature but natural disasters are made worse by the actions or inaction of people.
I think the human condition is caring instinctively, the Las Vegas shooting and the hurricanes have shown that capacity. It's the society we have built around ourselves today that has trained us to squash that in our general lives.

What are your biggest pressing problems right now?
Skunks....but I think I got it licked...keeping them away from my property.
(Dog sprayed twice this year running to fence to bark...10 pm and 4 am coming straight into the doggie door!)
That's about it.
In American society (don't know how it is elsewhere),
you put on a "Happy Face," and pretend that everything is groovy.
No one EVER talks about what is really bothering them....
Boy, that is not my world...no phony happy faces around me.
I listen to their complaints...just makes me feel bad for them and their outlook seeing what
they draw to themselves, (for decades), but they don't seem to see what they are creating for themselves.
for cholesterol? THat sounds horrible. Not curable by healthy lifestyle?
Unfortunately it's a hereditary issue for me. It was high in my 30's when I was 20 pounds lighter I was supposed to be on statins in my 40's but I was dealing with a super bug that required heavy duty antibiotics every couple of months for nine straight years. I couldn'r put my liver and kidneys through that and statins as well. I ski, ice skate, roller skate, ride my bike, walk the dogs, garden, and do projects. I'm not your average 60 year old.
Elderly parent care
Chronically ill wife
Finances
Trying to run my Company while dealing with the above
Struggling with changes in the marriage due to both mine and my wife's issues we each deal with
