We moved here less than a year ago so we're still working out the dynamics of living together and getting alone time. Mom's much more social than we are and we live ten miles outside town so going to town is usually a group activity.
But I stay marginally active online and keep an eye out for opportunities. A personal emergency button for Mom and a local party that fits our schedule and we could be on our way to ending break time.
Sorry P&W as it can obviously be the situation you described as well.
We currently have someone staying with us too but we're not on break because we can still attend parties, or even do a hotel room thing.
We used to do ballroom dancing so we can always say we're going out dancing and just leave out the part about it being more of a horizontal dance ;-)
Sometimes life gets in the way of playing but not being online.
We've had to essentially stop playing since my mother-in-law now lives with us. We can still manage the occasional play date with one gentleman but cannot entertain meeting anyone new - so I've noted in our tagline that we're taking a break. But I still enjoy socializing in the forums and with far-flung SLS friends and pop in here most every day.

It's most likely that only one member of the couple is on break when you see that, assuming there even is another half at that point.
Worse, we saw a couple on "brake"
Couples that are "on break" but always online.
The good thing is only those of us that care notice which word means what....
MAHEM8.
Gosh, yes! "affect" vs. "effect"
That is often the word pair that is most troublesome.
:-)
Some words I'll mess up on once in a while are "effect and affect", and occasionally "then and than". Actually, my occasional list is quite a bit longer but these are ones I've noticed more lately.
Okay, I'm with you now. Been a long time. I had relatives in Georgia. I guess I thought all that had been culled from the language by the PC Police. :-)
SLO...well, in the south we say chunk for chuck. I had no idea that woodchucks chucking wood were throwing wood until a few years ago. When I throw something, I'm chunking it!
Also, when I "say" that I have a good idea, it comes out ideal. I try to not say the l on the end but it always comes out ideal!
NaturalLovers2013,
I'd like to hear one. Does a good example of that immediately come to mind?
Some incorrectly used words are actually regionally located to whatever quadrant of the U.S. you live. My sister, who grew up in the NE, pointed out my incorrect words, but they are correct for the region I grew up in.
While hunting with a friend, he was about to take a drink out of a small brook. I mentioned to my friend there may be some micro-organisms in the water. He said, "I ain't afraid of no micro-orgasms!"...lol
I actually quite enjoy them.
I get a chuckle every time someone is trying to act smart and uses one.
"Mute" instead of "moot" for example.
And some are positively Freudian...
ONE (1) of my pet peeves is to hear or see the misuse of a word that SOUNDS similar to, but is mistakenly used in place of, the correct word. It's called a malapropism, and hearing or seeing this done makes me wince! (We all do it from time to time.)

EXAMPLE FROM THE WEB: "baseball player Yogi Berra, "Texas has a lot of electrical votes", rather than "electoral votes"."
You’re still hot little rabbit
Just a friendly reminder for the resident asshole.
Oh and my late apologies for spelling “hear” wrong. That’s one of my pet peeves. People that use the wrong spelling of a word. Your/you’re. To/too. Here/hear. There/they’re/their. It’s even worse when I do it myself by getting autocorrected.
~rabbit~
I read their profile once, and yeah, he pretty much says he's an asshole...lol
rabbit,
When did I ever say I wasn't the asshole?
OR,
"We have more horses' asses here than we have horses!"
Andrew-there is a saying I like that you should here.
“If everyone around you seems like an asshole, you’re the asshole”
~rabbit~
People. Almost all of them. That's my pet peeve.
@adventerous
Actually, the locals who respond to our hot date's irritate me.
They message with out reading profile.
They message, but have a million things to do before making it out to meet us. Not sure if we're available.
Or a message at 230 in the morning. "Are you still looking?"
Smh
I mentioned it before, but if you update your age in your profile regularly it's a good idea to mention that in the Additional Comments section.
