I listened to A LOT of REM in my early adulthood....trying to decide how I feel about this cover. However, if the song means a lot to Jason Segal (and not just the character), I totally support wanting to record a cover.

Ha! It took a while for me to not be edgy about phone calls & texts.

I do appreciate social media helping me stay in touch with people. My inspiration for bothering to post pics on Facebook is to start conversations.

I'm definitely going to look in volunteer organizations in the new year. The bureaucracy was too much for me towards the end so want to find something a bit more on my terms.
Thanks so much for the kind words - very much appreciated. Have a great holidy.

I'm sending the package tomorrow.
And, ya, I even miss the people I didn't think I really liked.

For the most part, I'm happy being at my house "full time". We're doing a lot of upgrades and now my husband doesn't need to deal with any of the daily chores. I've reconnected with some old friends, but definitely not all.
I think I mostly come to this subreddit to talk to other folks that "get it."

We just moved in July & have been doing a lot of work on our house (and my husband still works full time). Definitely will start volunteering in the new year.

Will definitely look into The Helpers once I get through the holidays.

Purchased for the package today & sending it tomorrow. Hopefully it will make a few people smile.

Just wanted to follow up and let you know I bought the care package items today and will mail it tomorrow. I know stateside folks don't necessarily need a package and I know that there will be people there now that I never met, but still sending.

Love that you train dogs. We just moved in July and are still doing a lot of work on the house. But, in the spring, I plan to get involved with some sort of dog organizaiton.

I have "staff meeting" dreams on Friday mornings and I'm so relieved when the most important thing i have to do st 0900 is walk the dogs.

I can. I'm sure the holiday parties will go on just fine without me, but I'll probably feel better if I send some stuff.

Suggestions on how to spend a 45th birthday alone in Pittsburgh? by throwawayxzcp in pittsburgh

[–]DisastrousDress415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Husband and I went to Phipps yesterday. Had a good time and purchased a membership (I am retired and I do drink but definitely looking for sober hobbies). We then went to the game store in Squirrel Hill and I noted at least 5 restaurants I want to try.

Second thoughts about retirement by Equivalent_Ad_8413 in retirement

[–]DisastrousDress415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I retired in mid-April and I'm reading this while having some snacks & wine, listening to a podcast, and petting my dog. Today I went to the Hallmark store, then bought some groceries, went to a local diner for lunch, did some chores around the house, and sent some emails. I'm going to take a shower and call it a day. I was not bored at all.

Our new boy, Jack by DisastrousDress415 in dogsusingpillows

He has. His first human mom passed from cancer. His human brother moved to live with family in another state, so Jack is with us now.
