What's a Covedale?

My geeky hobby would be contributing to this site. However, I don't really keep it a secret, I just fail to elaborate about the site. I basically make it seem as if all there is to do is post photos of urban areas in Ohio, which isn't that bad, right? Only one friend knows how involved this site is when it comes to urban issues.

 

Some of the "geeky" hobbies listed sound more like guilty pleasures, like watching a certain show (Soap Operas for example). I would have to say that my guilty pleasures are watching Sex and the City, QAF, and foreign soap operas such as Verboten Liebe or Hollyoaks.

Ohh.  I love novelas. 

:oops:

 

I photographed abandoned buildings for awhile.  Although today, that isn't considered geeky anymore since it's gained quite a bit of popularity.  I'm done though.  Got PCB poisoning in a factory and over it.  I did go into Michigan Central Station recently, but that's not an abandoned building, rather an overrated tourist attraction in severe disrepair.

Well I don't know if fixing up my house would qualify as geeky, but I just finished rewiring and reinsulating the whole second floor. (My wife is insisting that I take a year off before I touch the first floor.)

 

I also like reading classical literature (mostly 18th and 19th century European novels), though recently I've been finding audio books on the internet are much easier for the bus ride.

 

And finally my truely geeky hobby would be that I enjoy sewing quilts. It started when I got out of the Army and wanted some creative way to keep and use my old uniforms, and a quilt just made sense.

 

So if any of you see a chubby bearded man, listening to Tolstoy while sewing a pink and purple floral quilt at a bus stop in downtown Cleveland, I'm not an escaped mental patient.

Wow, the quilt thing is an awesome revelation.  I love it. 

"So if any of you see a chubby bearded man, listening to Tolstoy while sewing a pink and purple floral quilt at a bus stop in downtown Cleveland, I'm not an escaped mental patient."

 

Compared to some of the shenanigans I've seen, that's downright tame - and waaay more cerebral than most. :-)

I'll just chalk it up to life and add it to the book someday I dream of writing.  Love it!

North Central, you ask? Boundaries are on page 6 and a map on page 8 including nearly all 11 sub-neighborhoods (American Addition and...something-crest were included as one here)  Prepare yourself!

I watched GH in college.  Not only was it a good conversation topic with women, but the TV lounge in Thwing was a great place to meet them.  I continued to watch a few more years.

 

During the late 1980s I think the show made a deliberate effort to draw male viewers.  They had a lot of spy plots, plus it was ofteh dopwnright funny.  The Donnelly-Krumholtz wedding was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen on TV.

 

Sean and Tiffany recently made a brief re-appearance in connection with a storyline about Robert Scorpio almost kicking the bucket from colon cancer.  Sean still looks great but Tiffany, hoo boy.

 

Sean was significantly older than her when they got married too.

 

I have a female friend who claims it's "not fair" how guys "get away" with aging better than women do.  Ironically, she was one of the original waitresses at the Vegas "Pink Taco" (in the Hard Rock Hotel) and was the oldest by close to  ten years. 

 

She told me recently she's joining a gym because she refuses to "look 40" next year, I asked if she wasn't supposed to look 30 first.

It's God's way of handling "Princess Mentality Syndrome". Once women start aging they realize they aren't they sh!t anymore.

I don't know that guys actively do anything to "get away" with it being ok to get older, and look it, it's just something that's evolved socially.  Really if you think about it, it's nature.  Women are more attractive when they're young so they can attract mates and reproduce to keep the species going.  If they were ugly when they were younger and got hotter as they got older and had less and less chance of conceiving, eventually turning into no chance, the race would have died out years ago.

 

I think men and women really age the same.  Women tend to look a little better actually, because they generally take better care of their bodies and skin than men do, which is why we live longer.  :)  But women feel more pressure to continue to look young and thin. 

 

You reach a point where you realize you aren't "one of them" anymore, you're one of the older ones, and then it doesn't matter so much anymore, and you just live for you, not for other people.  Some women unfortunately never get there, or don't get there til they're like 60.  Some get there much earlier.

You must know my mom and Aunt.  They're in their mid 60's and act like 35 year old party girls!

I have tons upon tons of Lionel 027 gauge model trains. Don't have the space for them currently, but one day Cincinnati will get it's streetcars, whether they're big enough for real people or not...

LOL.  Acting like it is one thing, there's nothing wrong with being active and having fun at any age.  But DRESSING like it, or shooting your face full of poison so it will be paralyzed in an attempt to look like you're still young, that's just scary.

They're too old.  One of my nephews friends referred to my mother as a "milf".  I thought I would kill him.  But then again, she can still wear a bikini and has never had any enhancements.
