I have decided to avoid age registering on here for the interim, as I am curious to see how restrictive things become.
Unfortunately this means I won't be able to view or respond to messages for the time being.
Until I get around to requesting my data I can't view extant messages either.

On this day in 2018:
I got my current Amiga 1200.
TW / CW: Cancer, Death.
Unfortunately that day my stepson at age 26 got given 6 months to live due his bowel cancer returning & metastatizing.
He was dead within five months.
If you love someone, tell them.
Life is too short.

As is often the case I keep changing my mind with my retro desk setup layout - but one thing for certain, I need more desk, hence the additional bit.
Further iterations should eventually provide a happy compromise.

This would explain a lot!
I read recently that our brains are hard-wired to reset when we change environment. So thousands of years ago, when we come out of the cave, or go in the forest, we reset so as to be alert for different predators. Now, we go upstairs to another room, enter, and forget why we went there. Reset!

Have to recommend that you don't do this while wearing a V-neck dress, the grime gets everywhere...
