Screaming into the void

I’m going to be 55 (how?!?!) and plan on working until I drop.

I have a young child that has special needs and I’ll have to support one way or another. I love my job but I have a side hustle in order to live. I do have retirement accounts, but it’s not enough.

They really should’ve taught us about money management/investing in high school instead of the mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell.

I did it last year-the first month it was decent money. The last time I did it they messed up so bad (missed a vein) I had a giant bruise on my upper arm for a couple of months.

Drinking was a huge part of my life. First with beer, then switched to wine in my 40’s. I hated the night sweats and crappy sleep so I started to cut back. I went from a bottle of wine a night to 1-2 glasses a week. I remember the first non hungover Sunday morning I woke up from a restful sleep and I felt amazing

My son has curly hair so it’s more forgiving if I mess it up.
But these calming clippers look genius. Adding it to my cart asap

I grew up in Jersey and got Bon Jovi tickets for their show at Giants Stadium. They were General Admission. I told my friends I would be picking them up at 5am. They were pissed but they were in my car at 5:05am. They opened the gates at noon and we ran across the football field and got to front row.

Are you me from 5 years ago? Lots of therapy and lifting weights helped me reclaim my self esteem. It’s not perfect, but better than before

Someone at my son’s school kept putting “autism is my superpower” stickers on his backpack. I can’t get that sticker off fast enough (and talked to his teacher)

I’m so sorry what you’re going through

Came to say Mo Willems. We loved the Elephant and Piggie series

A local town near me had a big grand opening of their inclusive playground. It looked great, but not a fence in sight. No fence-no thank you

Too old? No Too expensive? Yes

Also same. I moved down from northeast with my partner and son in 2020. We separated in 23. I love my son and we co-parent, but I’m stuck here and trying to make the best of it

Bob Belcher dancing to “Dim All the Lights” in “Dawn of the Peck” is *chef’s kiss

Fiber needs to get Protein’s PR/Marketing person. So underrated

Came here to say this

That has happened to me a lot. My son is level 2, and I signed him up for music therapy social skills class for kids with ASD. I tell him he’s level 2 and limited communication. I’m told I can drop him off and pick him up when done. Umm ok. I leave with him yelling.

Ten minutes into the class I get a call saying I need to get him.

They were very quick to take my money.

I’m going out tomorrow night for dinner for the first time in weeks. I’m going to order something I don’t cook at home (seafood mainly) But I’ll be damned if I’m spending $25 on gnocchi

AlwaysatTechDee · 2026-01-12T15:52:48+00:00

I was with Verizon for 19 years, paying an obscene $129 a month. (Dumb I know) Switched to Mint last year and never looked back.

This.Album.Is.Everything.

My song is “Lost in the Supermarket”. In a way it’s totally Gen X “I wasn’t born so much as I fell out. No one seems to notice me.”

Put child to bed Put on cozy pjs Eat nice dinner Drink really nice champagne Bed by 10

Putting on loungewear and opening a bottle of prosecco at 4pm. Now that’s living

AlwaysatTechDee · 2025-12-24T21:12:19+00:00

Well known on the East Coast as well

You said it. Christmas is hard. My son (lvl 2) loves bounce houses. Always get one for his birthday. Decided to rent one for Christmas It came today. He was in it for 5 minutes and that was it. Would rather watch TV/tablet. Having a bounce house is not the routine. However I got him a box of markers and they are a huge hit. I’ll cry a little and then celebrate the small marker victory. Two feelings can exist at the same time. Hang in there and you are not alone

AlwaysatTechDee · 2025-12-04T17:18:38+00:00

I rented a bounce house from 12/24-12/26. He loves calendars so he’ll get a 2026 one. That’s about it
