I’m around 40 miles from where I grew up. Not counting military time away, 40 is about the average distance I’ve lived although it’s been multiple locations.
I’m cynical enough to believe that all love is conditional. Surprised that many do not!
I voted that unconditional love between adults is possible, but I may not have been thinking of what the question was meant to mean. I was thinking that apparently for some people, though maybe not for me, it’s possible to keep loving somebody even if you had to flee the house and call the cops.
Yes. Lust, on the other hand, may sometimes be unconditional…
Naw, even lust is conditional. If I find someone repulsive, it just isn’t gonna happen…
I live well over five hundred miles from where I grew up. So do my parents. So did three of my four grandparents, and the six (total) parents of those three. We’re a very mobile family, I guess.
True. I meant, if you lust after someone, you might still lust after them, even after you learn they (say) voted for Trump, or eat babies for breakfast, or both.
Carry on…
I was born in San Jose, California; when I was three months old, we moved to the Midwest. I now live about 2000 miles away from where I was born, but I live within 200 miles of everywhere I I’ve lived since I was three months old.
16.5 miles from my preschool home on Cleveland’s east side. Note I’ve lived in Florida most of my life before moving back here (partly planned, was already putting the move in motion so as to take care of my mother’s stuff here when she got ill and died in May 2023), plan to get a house and endure more winters so as to enjoy the warmer months.
Born in Dallas, now live in Austin, 200 miles distance.
No, the USA has not stopped being the USA just because MAGA/Trump ruined it.
Yes, two adults can have unconditional love.
Yanno, they’re part of a balanced breakfast. ![]()
Mine, too. Ever since I read that Travis McGee book way back when I was in my 20s.
I’m an old, so Captain Kangaroo (I loved Bunny Rabbit. He was pure id) and Mighty Mouse were the only shows on the list that I regularly watched. Either the others were after my time or I don’t know them. I did watch The Muppet Show as an adult. My favorite kid show was Webster Webfoot, and I got to meet the guy who was his voice years and years later. There were several local shows I watched: Engineer Bill (with the red light/green light milk drinking game) and Tom Hatton’s Popeye show with the squiggle drawing game.
Just saw @DrDeth ‘s post. I also watched Sheriff John, but I found him a little boring.
I only lived where I was born for a year, before my family moved about 25 miles away. (I now live maybe five miles from where I grew up). I lived a few other places, but one was only six miles from where I was born, and the other was about 25 miles.
North Dallas or regular ol’ Dallas? Just curious. (because I was born and grew up in the former)
We lived in Richardson.
Ah, got it. Went to RHS, but live in Dallas myself.
I went from living about 1 mile from where I was born to move roughly 5000 miles away (to Europe). I still own the house in the US but now my adult son is living in it.
As for childrens’ shows, a favourite in the Salt Lake City area was Hotel Balderdash. Mostly it was for the cartoons (Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies) but there were usually some interesting filler by the live-action hosts.
I think that last poll broke the left button on my mouse.
“Can lead to” had me wishing for an All of the Above option.
It’s like the disclaimer for a pharmaceutical commercial. I’ll bet unregulated capitalism can lead to anal leakage, too.
My “other” was the mental health effects of living through capitalism run amok.
