I read old forum posts- I'm on page 170 in the general. It's interesting to see how the site has evolved, to see the people who have been here for so many years and the ones who are gone. So many of the same topics and discussions, some fun and interesting ones to resurrect to encourage more engagement without drama
@Adragayle this is a great one to resurrect! Thank you 😊
My confession tonight: Every few months my ADHD gets the better of me and I start seriously planning a complete change of career that will likely never happen. I tend to cycle between a few with common threads: massage therapist, nurse, physical therapist, dance/art therapist (mental health), English teacher, YouTube makeup guru.
I've already had a ridiculously varied career history (hotel manager, dance teacher, nanny, pet sitter, cello tutor, substitute teacher, office admin, bingo agent at a casino, pro cuddler, etc.) that makes concise resumes and job applications a nightmare.
Most of these flights of fancy would require me adding to my already massive student loan debt, so it's unlikely they'll ever come to fruition, but a gal can apply to programs and speak with licensing agencies as much as she likes 😅
I recognize that my life is pretty good and decent. I'm lucky in a lot of ways. But I still stress out because I never learned how to handle living a decent life, but I'm doing my best to try and get better bit by bit.
One of the major things I'm trying to work on is managing my stress and emotions, in hopes that I can get to a point where they don't get in the way of me getting things done.
I knew the ribs and brisket were in my fridge the entire time.
I secretly get a big kick out of seeing others utilize my note wording, contract templates, and breakdown of payment regulations. It fills me with such joy to see others protect themselves or utilize tools I put in place to make the community a more inclusive or safe space. 💜 Massive pride moment.
@Adragayle ty! 🫂💖
I like to pretend the big pile of clothes that I took out the closet to declutter are not there by hiding in my covers. Yes, they are sitting on my bed and next to it Lol 🫣 🤫😶🌫️
When I'm bored I like to go to people's Karmas and see what others say about them. Also enjoy reading people's profiles...many are very similar with a few distinctions. I guess there's just so much one can say about cuddling? Not a grand confession like robbing banks.... sorry.
Back when I was just out of school, I would go to the movies early on a Saturday, buy one ticket to get in… and then theater hop to watch extra movies for free. 🙈
Once, I went in the women’s room at the mall by accident. When I realized I was in the women’s room, I got so nervous that I got out of the stall and ran out…. but I forgot to flush 💩💩💩 That was over 20 years ago and to this day, I’m still paranoid and first thing I do when I walk into a public restroom is make sure I see urinals.
As my 46th birthday near on 3/15, I totally at peace that I'm here until I'm not. I've made it longer than Farley, Candy and Belushi. Definitely don't plan to make it to 95 like my grandpa (also on 3/15).
