I'm old here from Pasadena. It's not easy to meet people on this new fangled set up. This used to be a lot hipper!
So......Instead Of Pissing Off Years Ago......Why Did You Not Instead Choose To Stay...... And As You Say... ......Make This Place "Hipper"...???.... Cheers Glen.
I found other venues. Not sure what 'pissing off' means. It's not a common expression where I'm from.
I believe "pissing off," became popular in Britain in the late 80's, it's analogous to Leaving some place, or going away. After living up and down California from San Diego to Santa Barbara and points in between, (LA, Palmdale, San Jose, Fresno) I finally dropped anchor in the San Joaquin valley. I actually found the old Dial-Up Bulletin Board systems a lot more fun. Since you were mostly local to the board you logged onto, you could attend meetups weekly with the people you chatted with. Got more intimate and had closer relations.
