I sit here because of “stay-at-home” advice. Which is good, awesome except tor the boredom and looking at these four walls. I need more interaction with my fellow human beings. (No worries. Recent hospital stay tested me five ways to Sunday). Negative, yay!

On a whim, I researched probable causes of my affliction excluding General Crazy Disorder.

Upon which I need to plant some seeds in my garden. It is spring time here North America.

Stay safe y’all  
What follows is a link to untold mysteries.

So… **CF** , I’m reading your old threads.  
Don’t feel invaded, it’s a thing I do. I make no real judgments. I know people change over the years.  
This is actually a cool thing to do while home-bound. I’m a long term shut-in so I know all the tricks to combat boredom.

Sincerly, a fellow shelter-in-place denizen.

Hey, **CF** , I’m a lefty too.

And…in 2015 before the Dope ever came into my conscious brain, you mentioned me, yes **ME** , in a thread titled **‘Lost’**.  
How can this be? You may ask? Go ahead. Ask.

It just is. The magic of old SDMB threads raises its spectre and time twists. Thus putting me in your 2015 thread.  
Amazin’ ain’t it?

Good Lord! Shrimps on a treed-meel. And cats…my feline companion ate all them.
