Stop The Vinsanity...

Yikes, Vin... so glad to hear you're still with us and you're on the mend. Virtual hugs from the northeast, with hope that daytime TV isn't driving you nuts!
 
Sending some restful and healing vibes.
Take Care!
 
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

I figured out how to unblock people on OKC. Now I have something to do ...lol. I probably can't start dating for a month or two.

I also can't work on my house. I can't do anything productive.

I also don't have a job. A couple days before my surgery I found out the company I was contracted with folded up. I'm not too worried. I can find a job with a couple phone calls. The problem is I need to wait a month before I can get my medical certification to drive a commercial vehicle.
 
Oh man! I sure hope for good to come your way soon! Not that managing to not only to massively cut back smoking but to remain among the living are not really good things! ;)

Time to catch up.

My oldest daughter surprised me with a visit for Father's Day. While she was here we went and saw The Dead Don't Die. Even though it's my kind of humor it was still a little dry for me.

I went and saw Rocketman with my mom. I'm not big on musicals. I was hoping it was more of a biopic. The reason I went with my mom is because her boyfriend is too homophobic to watch a movie about a gay guy.

Health wise, I am doing fine. My only problem is my libido is coming back strong. What I mean by that is the bypass has done wonders for my blood flow if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, I have some body issues now due to this huge scar on my chest. But my horniness is overriding that, so I've started contacting some people.

I also seem to have picked up a possible scammer on Facebook. Young lady sent me a friend request. She says she ran across my profile in one of the trucking pages. She says she would like to get to know me. I'm bored so I'll play along for a little while.

Finally, I've decided to sell my townhouse. It's too much to deal with when I'm only home a few days a month, if that. Hopefully I can get my stuff into storage without killing myself...lol.
 
Well my dating life is put on hold for another two weeks. I have to wear a heart monitor. Having a plastic box stuck to my chest will not make a good first impression...lol. I feel old
 
Bedazzle it and pretend you're Tony Stark - voila! More conversation than you'll know what to do with!
 
It's been a long time since I updated. Still not much going on. Obviously any dating is now out on hold as there is nothing open. I'm not big on electronically chatting with people I don't know. My experience has been that people are rarely how they present themselves online.

Anyways, OKC has been a big disappointment. I currently have no prospects over 90%. No non-monogamous people come up in my search at all. I keep getting liked by women who don't speak English LOL.

Tinder is pretty much useless as nobody fills anything out. Same with the new FB dating thing.

A couple months ago I met up with a sub guy from a fetish site. Nothing happened. He wasn't really my type. Plus, I had the feeling he was cheating on his wife. I also had two different guys talk to me about domming their wives, but I think they were just fantasizing.

This past weekend my Domme friend and I did manage to hook up. We both wanted a distraction from current events. I have to say this was the first time I wasn't bored playing a sub. It was super intense. It's too bad it's only temporary. She is mono and looking for a full time relationship. As soon as she finds someone I will be out of the picture.

Meanwhile, everything is going good here. Social distancing is definitely in my wheelhouse lol. Other than seeing my friend, I've only been to the store and the bank.
 
I find myself feeling bad lately. It must be some form of survivor's guilt. This pandemic isn't hitting me hard. I'm already not very social. I'm not hurting for money. I am way better off than a lot of people. Not that it hasn't affected me at all. I was wondering n the process of going back to work, but now have to put that on hold. I am extremely horny. But neither of those things are anything to really fret about.

I had a weird encounter with Cat's best friend. I'll call her Brij. We hadn't been in much contact after Cat died. She had a FB account but never used it. At the end of last year I noticed she was posting on it a lot. Then I realized her husband had died. On Xmas eve I reached out to give my condolences and we ended up chatting for about an hour. Since then we have been liking each other's posts and tagging each other because we are of the same political mind. I have been very appreciative of this because sometimes I feel like maybe I'm crazy. It helps to commiserate with someone I know as an actual person as opposed to just an online friend, if that makes any sense.

Anyways, yesterday she messaged me out of the blue and started telling me how she was missing having sex with her boyfriend, etc. It was very weird because sex is not a subject we have ever talked about. I guess I'll chalk it up to her being extremely bored.

In OKC news, I have been talking to someone I met recently. In my last update I was complaining that there were no decent matches. Suddenly there was masochistic poly woman with a 96% match. So what's the catch? She's quite a bit younger than me. She showed up because she expanded her age range lol. We have been talking and apparently it's not a problem for her. If not for the pandemic we probably would have already met in person. We have agreed we will meet when it is safe to do so. We have also agreed we will probably go to a play party. Play parties aren't really my thing, but I do like using their equipment.

Speaking of playing, my Domme friend and I didn't get to get another session in before things got serious with the lockdowns. Almost, but we decided not to take any chances.

Now they are saying we may have to do social distancing until 2022. I joked that we'll have to get Covid testing like we do for STI. I hope we don't up like Demolition Man, where people just used some sort of device and never touch each other.
 
OMG, Demolition Man! There is no toilet paper either, only seashells!
 
I'm going a little stir crazy. I thought I heard Trump say we should look into injecting disinfectant...lol

But seriously, I am going a bit stir crazy. I only go to the store. I need more. My Domme friend and I are contemplating hooking up again. Maybe next week. We both take precautions so we should be okay.

I'm running out of things to text about with my OKC prospect. On top of that she decided to move about an hour and a half north of here. Now I'm not sure how much energy I want to put into this. I'd still like to meet her though. We shall see.

I've been hearing bad news about the trucking industry. There is not enough work. Freight prices are getting too low to operate. This is not good. I expect to see a federal bailout for the major trucking companies, which will hurt the owner operators big time.

He did. That was a thing that actually happened. Lysol had to put a big message on their website warning people he was wrong and not to do that.

I need this remembered in the history books.

Ironically, I was being sarcastic. Little did I know Trump would claim he was being sarcastic. I was watching as it happened. It was ridiculous and horrifying at the same time. Humor is my coping mechanism.

I am wondering if there will be history books in the post-apocalyptic world. Maybe we will return to the oral tradition.
 
OKC prospect and I have been texting less frequently. I think we both know we might never meet, or if we do it will be in the distant future. The place she is staying now is on her mother's property. Apparently her mother is very serious about quarantining. She's making her stay away from the house for 14 days. I assume that means if we meet or I go over there she will be exiled for another 14 days. That seems a bit over the top to me.

How so? It makes 100% certain she doesn't infect her mother. We've done a hard quarantine ourselves except that we are literally seeing no one. That's what they have asked everyone to do, anyway.

So you have done no food shopping, no receiving of deliveries, nothing this whole time? That is impressive.

I'm not saying "over the top" as one of those people who believe we don't have to do anything. When I go out for food shopping or to the pharmacy I wear a mask. I don't touch my face until I either wash my hands or use a bunch of hand sanitizer. I am not infected. I know she does the same thing. We both have taken adequate precautions to ensure we don't get infected so I would have no worries about meeting her. Neither one of us are working at the moment.

I have a friend who was complaining that she couldn't make a salad because she didn't know how to sterilize her lettuce. That's a little over the top too.
 
I’m with your friend. I don’t buy raw vegetables because they can’t be properly cleaned. Canned or frozen only. I have not left my home since 3/13. Anything coming into my house either gets put in quarantine for several days or sprayed with a bleach solution.

If you interact with the public, there is no way to be sure you are not infected, period. Not with the two weeks’ potential asymptomatic transfer. I don’t blame people for wanting to live, or not suffer permanent damage to their major organ systems. Way too many studies showing that they suspect cases are 12-19x higher than reported because people are still spreading it when they think they’re fine.

So if you meet up with this woman, you’re basically asking her mother to bet her life that you’ve taken appropriate safety measures, if you think she is over the top quarantining her daughter. Why would anyone do that?

I'm not asking her mother to do anything. I already said we aren't meeting.

For fruits and veggies all you have to do is put them under running water.

I've been reading your blog. I think you should do some reading up on this thing. It might ease your mind a little.

I agree with Vin that you might find some relief in learning a bit more about how this virus is actually spread and not focusing so much on all of the ways that it could possibly be spread. Taking every conceivable precaution and living in fear really doesn't offer more protection than the few simple steps that we know to be highly effective. I don't know where you are in NY, Vivki, but I am on Long Island where we have 70,000 cases right now. We're packed in and everyone here knows someone by now who has been touched by this virus. I live packed in among many folks who are affected by this, myself included, and still there is much to be happy about. The science is pretty clear now about how this is spread and how it is not spread. Focusing on every conceivable possible negative outcome does not protect a person more than focusing on a few known precautions and then getting on with the business of living and enjoying the day and the people we love.
