Have you ever watched Miss Fisher? http://www.netflix.com/title/70259338

Have fun, whatever you do!

It looks good, as I like foreign shows. I just finished Luther, and have one more Call the Midwife. I loved Rita, didn't want that to ever end. Thanks for the suggestion.

Watch my favorite 'drunk' films: Blade Runner, Dark City, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Army Of Darkness, Das Boot, etc.

We have kegerator, my husband loaded up a fresh one the other night.

and Halo the Master Chief collection.

My cats could watch birds all day. I don't share the same level of interest.

It's supposed to rain and I'll stay home and be cozy. I'm expecting a rather large delivery of books, I hope it comes tomorrow. If not, I have a lot of ironing and sewing to do and want to find something online to watch while I do it, would like a couple of movies but don't have any ideas. My computer is old and cranky and I'm pretty much restricted to things on YouTube. I want something scary because Halloween is coming. I'll have to root around and find something.

EOM

Sweets aren't my thing, but the fridge is stocked with yummy leftovers. Last night I ate whole pack of sushi for dinner.

...without having to get approval/opinions.

So I should stage a rebellion!

But I'm trying to lose weight, so that would be out. I've got a few new books that I've been meaning to read and haven't had a chance so I would probably do that.

Then I'll go through the intense day-long struggle to choose a new one. I just finished "Wild" and I'm about to finish Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods," so I'm hiked out and had enough with shitting in the woods. When are you going to write your book?

Other than not cooking, everything else is pretty much the same (as in "dullsville&quot . I am caring for a couple of elderly dogs, so I can't get too adventurous! LOL

Enjoy your break!

We have an elderly yellow lab, and two 3 year old pug slugs...and an ancient cat. Fortunately, the weather forecast is good, so getting them out won't be a problem.

Other than that, there aren't many differences in my life, except for the obvious NSFW stuff.

It was mentioned in a tv show I was watching, and I was like "nooo way!"

You probably don't want to know.

Who basically raised him so he was trained to sit for all his business in the bathroom.

Sooo happy we never have that "discussion "

It is somehow freeing.

I would just nap whenever and go to bed early and sleep late and then nap again. Heaven!

hunker down at home, alone. No cooking, sleep when I want to, watch old movies
all night on TV if I want to, putter in the yard, take the dog for long walks, go out
with my camera and take photos any time of day...maybe even go window shopping
or to a movie my husband wouldn't want to see.


Enjoy your days of blissful nothing!

I used to be the traveller for work and family. Now that he's retired and I'm on SSDI, we usually travel together. However, now once or twice a year he'll leave me for a motorcycle trip or bike ride with friends. He's in Indianapolis for the Hilly Hundred, and then they're going to ride a couple of bourbon trails in KY.

back when I was married, I found out. My spouse took a job that took him out of the country for 3-5 weeks at a time.

I discovered that I loved the freedom of alone time, and hoarded it like a dragon on a bed of treasure.

Now that I'm no longer married, I get to stretch out on my treasure whenever I get to be at home.

Nap, order take out, read, overdose on DU, drink wine every night...

I'm going to learn how to play Go. It's a board game, very easy to play, very difficult to play well.

I've also got a book on mathematical physics I'll get into.

I know, I'm boring.

I hope he comports himself as well as you do!

And a much easier game played on the same board: Five Stone.
I could beat all of my friends.

I used to play competition chess and one night i was invited to play a game of Go against some guy who was giving a demonstration in the chess club. I did OK for quite a while (I got the maximum handicap) and then made a dumb move and got crushed. But the game fascinated me. The rules are so simple, but the complexity just washes you away. The trouble at that time was i didn't know anyone who had even heard of the game and you basically had to import the board and stones from Japan - I'm talking about Australia early 1970s here. Now you can play online and I've ordered the stuff from a local store (Amsterdam). I've also downloaded a free beginner's Go program.

So, I'll start there and see how it goes.

I'd never heard of Five Stone, but i'll give it a look.

Thanks

Our admin for our department had a husband who never traveled on his job, and she needed some alone time, so she went to Cape May, NJ, and rented a room over someone's garage! It was a forerunner of what's now known as a she-shed.

We could always tell when she had visited the she-shed over the weekend, 'cuz she'd be a great mood on Monday.

...of his last military flying squadron right now - the 89th at Andrews AFB. Lots of retired pilots,, navigators, crew chiefs, etc. Pretty much every woman I know who is married to a man who has traveled for his career looks forward so some time on her own, and worries that she will not have enough of it after her flyboy retires.

longmire on netflix..i am not a westerny tv person and i love it

also heartland (netflix) is awesome...if you like horses and gorgeous scenery

i love the mindy project but it is hulu, although amazon prime may carry it

as for reading, i love browing recipes and have been reading some spirituality stuff...about different world religions, esp the lesser populated ones...jainism, paganism, etc.

ally macbeal (netflix) is also fun for a binge watch

whatever you do, enjoy!

I'll check into Heartland. I binged several hours today on Walking Dead. I like dystopian stories, but wasn't sure I'd like zombies. So far, I'm happy to see what's next.

Have you tried Bloodline on Netflix? It's a slow burn, takes place in the FL Keys. I'm from Ft. Lauderdale and knew people exactly like the characters on the show.

will have to check it out. falling skies was great, but it is probably only dvd since it just finished. i am trying to get caught up on the librarians before next season starts

i also sometimes go back and watch episodes of charmed on netflix

I lived alone for most of my adult life (by choice) when I met my SO. I wouldn't give him up on a bet, but he's one of those people who has a hard time amusing himself. I fondly remember those days when I had no one to please but myself, and my time was all my own.

Enjoy, even if I hate you! (Just kidding. Sorta.)

I never had a problem keeping myself entertained. Maybe it was because I was a partial only child (my cousin lived with us at times, when she did we had to share a twin bed, toys, clothes, etc.). However, I was always happy to immerse myself in a book, a movie, or a puzzle.

If you're not really into jazz, it might help to get high first. You still won't know what's going on when the "bass" solos start, but you won't care.

My husband apparently took the "get high" stuff with him.

My wife was out of the country for two weeks. I streamed TV shows on Netflix she would never watch and I listen to music by artists she refuses to listen to. You are on the right track.

PJs saves on laundry

Take out junk food that she doesn't like ( gyros, cheesesteak subs, pizza) saves on dishes

Stay home and read which I love to do saves on money

Catch up on chores oil change vehicles, clean garage etc

Also use the quiet time to call relatives, get up to date with family out of state.

Is that even possible?

eats smoked oysters in the house.

I am allergic to shellfish and cannot stand the smell of smoked oysters. They make me gag. So if I am home he goes outside to eat them. I made a fast overnight trip to the big city this week and he told me that's what he did.
