Uncertain if my thoughts are anxious or regretful. My anxious thoughts thread died on the AO tho.

In the last twelve months I have written three checks.
Itâs difficult convincing someone whoâs experienced stressful/traumatic events that the feelings of anxiety/depression are normal but also worth seeking help for instead of âitâll get better sometime.â

Played disc golf with my son today, and we saw a Tesla parked to play. Amused me for some reason: clash of demographics expectations.
What demographic do you think of when you think of Tesla owners that made you surprised to see them on the disc golf course? Or maybe I should ask what demographic do you think of when you think of disc golfers that made you surprised to see one driving a Tesla?
I think of Tesla owners as middle-aged upper middle class environmentally conscious folks.
And I think of disc golfers as youth to middle aged active types.
Seems like there would be a lot of crossover. In fact, both of the Tesla owners I know are in their mid-40s and played disc golf in high school & college for fun. Iâm not sure if they still do, but it wouldnât surprise me in the slightest if they did.
I think of disc golf types as driving a beat up old Honda Civic with a bong in the trunk.
Admittedly we play occasionally now, but the stereotype was formed ~20 years ago when I was in college and played a lot more. At the course I played at most, there was a place most players stopped mid round to smoke weed. I remember one crew offered me a hit, and when I turned them down, they seemed genuinely confused at the concept of somebody turning down free weed.
Another memory was of two guys playing at 10am with a cooler of beer. They then were complaining about how they donât get invited to extended family events as they proceeded to get totally loaded as we played.
There probably were square middle aged folks playing, just did not stick in memory.

Huh, I think of disc golfers as the privileged granola types⌠a stereotype I picked up in college as thatâs what my college had a lot of. And a very popular pastime at my college.
Well, I would be hard pressed to deny being a privileged granola type myself, so you may be on to something there.

I donât mean that in a bad way; I hope that wasnât offensive. That description probably fits like 75% of my family & friends FWIW.

See the GoA Recipe Book which references the AO recipe book for a slightly more-complicated, slightly more-elevated French Toast:
Now I want French toast and I miss the AO.

I certainly was not offended. The fact that being a rich white cis straight male makes my life easy is more of a commentary on society that it is on me.

Do you think deaf people think farts are as funny as people that can hear them do?
Probably not because they only get the smell, and there ainât nothing funny about that.
