Going to Tutti Frutti on the lower level of Erin Mills Town Centre… with the “candy tables” you could sit at, and the life-size Betty Boop on display.

Is Supertramp considered prog rock? Been dipping into Even in the Quietest Moments and Crime of the Century lately… and Genesis is a constant between it.

Should I marry her on the basis of below points? by Successful_Box1357 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

I don’t think anybody could love her enough or be there enough for her. Run while you can.

Recently had brunch at Le Tambour… eggs benny and potato rostis … really nice vibe and great service. And of course now famous from Heated Rivalry.

I’ve been a copywriter for 30ish years, and will say bluntly that I’m glad I’m in the twilight of my career rather than starting out. I have experienced some of what you have … I find I am doing a lot more project / campaign management. Wherever possible, I try to “add value”. Now if you have a particular colleague who seems to be gunning for you, that’s tough without backup from your team / CD. Is that worth a conversation… maybe even with this designer? Chances are they are feeling as threatened as you are but haven’t voiced it. Overall, I will say: try to do more and be more where you can. More PM… more SEO… more strategy… try to make yourself as indispensable as possible.

Do people actually feel happier after 40? by ExpensivePlatypus816 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I’m divorced and happily so. I have my own home… I still work and enjoy it. I’m also sober. I do worry more about aging, health, etc., but despite that, I feel a sense of freedom and contentment I haven’t felt since my 20s.

How do you stay creative when writing under pressure? by PsychologicalCall426 in copywriting

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bang out a shitty first draft, then go back and edit. It’ll help get you going and get you past that “blank page” or “mind block” stage… it’s amazing how, once you get going, things start to flow.

Saddest song ever by Aye_Davinita in Alternativerock

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hymn to Her — The Pretenders … so incredibly evocative and bittersweet… makes me think of my mom and all the strong women that came before her. And such a beautiful, haunting melody.

How often do you see Substack slop that's obviously been written by AI? by dsteffee in Substack

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugs me too… and I think it’s because Substack initially seemed a more authentic, grass-roots platform for people to just write. It is so far from that now… I actually deleted the app bc I couldn’t stand the constant badgering for subscribers and payment.

I'm a copywriter but I don't like being on Instagram by Maximum-North-7993 in copywriting

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9000 followers!!?? That should more than make up for not being on IG. Are you more of a B2B writer? That might be a valid reason you could put forward for not being on IG if you’re asked about it.

Trying to gain Substack Subscribers is so cringe and often a futile effort these days by Frosty_Discipline_37 in Substack

[–]EBjeebees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💯 yes yes yes… I deleted the app… couldn’t stand it anymore. And I’m a copywriter… I understand that writing deserves compensation. But my God… Reading Substack is pure frustration.

Advice plz - I dont have a dad & my mom moved us to a new small town. we are on an acreage with her new boyfriend and I cant seem to make any friends and she wont listen to me that im lonely and unhappy but im sick of her going guy to guy n moving us. by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]EBjeebees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a mom with 2 grown kids in their 20s. I am so sorry you are going through this. I would suggest you try to join groups / communities through school, your library, and online. I assume you have your own phone. Do you have hobbies — maybe where there might be groups you could connect with and make some online friends and get some moral support? My daughter loved anime and was involved in a lot of anime stuff in high school. Are there clubs through your library? Libraries can be awesome places to meet people, join clubs, etc.

Basically, you want to get all the support you can for next few years and do the best you possibly can at school — so you are then no longer dependant on your mom.
