5 grand and some some winning betting tickets was the worst in Vegas. I will get a new phone.
As a gambler it taught me a great lesson in life. Accept your losses. Will shut it down and get a new one.
Blah. What is your hardest loss in life and not talking about those near and dear, whole different thing, but in material possesions? Lost or stolen?

You can't even do that. People that I hold near and dear are the greatest losses in my life. I don't know what you're on about but it seems like you're on about something that you do not want to say. like loosing a coin and trying to equate it to the loss of something much greater.

Blah, live in Mexico or Ell Salvador. Chump. Dance of the dead.

I have sensibility. Says the man who just LOST more money then most people make in a month by getting fucked up, losing a cell phone in the middle of a state that is racking up covid cases like those aol discs no one wanted in the late 90s. Lol I enjoy you as a poster but that’s dumb

I've never lost anything while fucked up, well at least nothing physical anyway. My mind sometimes maybe, but that's psychedelics for you.
The stuff that I don't have anymore that I regret not having is all stuff I threw away while sober. Stuff I thought I didn't want or need anymore, and then 10 or 20 years later I think "man, I wish I had held onto that." But then again, the things I did hold onto, I feel like they trap me. They make me think about and dwell on the past, and I can't seem to get rid of them even though I want to. I'm not a big fan of physical possessions.
I came to the realization a while back that the only things I really need are a computer, some paper, some stuff to write with, and a roof over my head. And the paper and writing stuff is optional. I'd get rid of everything else if I could bring myself to do it.

I'd like to exchange some stuff for other stuff more valuable. It's the nature of trading it can get ugly, which is why I market.
It's like a proverbial slogan "This one(1) here"

A few weeks ago my gf dropped her phone in an underground waste paper container. Not just the phone - ID, driver's licence, credit cards; the works. Was on a Saturday, so the municipality couldn't be reached, nor the waste management company. Luckily for her, we could get the container lifted by the company on Monday and her stuff back.

Had a drunken night in a ski town during the winter a few years back, my cell phone was found months later by a guy walking his dog on a nearby baseball field. No idea what I would have been doing on a baseball field that was probably covered in 3ft of snow. Woke up the next morning with a smashed up face, a trash bin filled with piss, and no recollection of anything.
I don't think I could handle a hangover like that ever again.

I've never actually lost anything while fucked up. I've woken up and not known where I was(booze) but as far as drugs go I've always been pretty conscious of how stupid they can make me so I always take precautions. Like if I'm tripping I like to have a space for everything I need to go like a table or a backpack. That way if I'm being forgetful everything is always right there. It will be a valuable skill in my old age

Yeah, have to agree with that and I can eat crow. But still had a hell of a time before the realization of what had happened when I woke up in the morning. Some low points in life but also the understanding, wisdom. I get it right away. I just love esoteric states of being but have taken more precautions and when my new smartphone comes in will do so with it.
And yes it was dumb. Getting robbed of 5 grand was a real low point, five grand in cash and betting tickets on sports, that won and they were afraid I would be waiting for them at the sportsbook though they knew nothing about sports and sure they were very glad to see they were winners, then saying fuck it I am driving my rental car all the way back home. Life goes on.
I don't need to be Bipolor. Everyone has extreme highs and lows in life. Just part of the experience of our blip in time here. But yes, dumb. I can accept that. At least you didn't have to feel it.
Poor me. Self pity is such a waste of time. It took me a whole Winter to get over the loss of my dad drinking and pill popping everyday. I know what matters in life and don't think it is trivial.

I was touring up the coast with my motorcycle, just riding around to random spots on atlas obscura, camping and staying in airbnbs. After about a week of it, I was exhausted, so I stayed in one of those off the interstate hotels for truckers in the middle of nowhere. I got fucked up, and lost my phone somewhere, with no map, and no idea how to get home.

Blah. It is kind of nice not having it always on my coffee top. I get if one is traveling but I really don't miss it yet anyway. God the music and bass of my bluetooth earphones and prime music, that I do want back.
But is why I take vacations for 23-25 days in the Summers. That is not an option this year. Money and exchange of time. I have chosen to enjoy my Summers and save up the finances to do so and even if I run out with rent and bills paid before I get back to my apartment, it is fine.
If anyone has read or watched or both Into the Wild it takes so little to explore and do this. I am on a softball team and have some trails near were I live but still the static of the people below. And 5g is coming. Great, no problems there of course.
Is actually quite peaceful not to have my smartphone sitting in front of me at this time. Have a home phone and a kindle and a laptop. But just not always being at the beck and call of my cell is a wonderful thing to me. End of rant. And yes I will order another one but in no hurry to do so.

I got wasted in vegas with $1000 in my pockets and woke up half on my hotel bed the next day with empty pockets. Definitely the most ive lost while wasted, probably not while sober though

When I first moved to South Africa I got broken into and they stole everything but the tv, kettle and toaster.
I mean everything. All my clothes, towels, sheets, dishes, cutlery, personal possessions. Everything that didn't require electricity to function.
