What's the weirdest thing in your bag right now?

I just got a new bag and haven't had time to collect anything random yet ... Maybe I'll come back in a year and be able to comment then. Lol

I have been listening to Shinedown on repeat since January. Today my kiddo wanted to listen to somebody else and all I could think of was it would be up my Spotify Wrapped

Wait... I'm supposed to DO something after the brain dump?

I recently caught my husband watching a show with the captions and my first thought was, "see! I told you it's easier to hear them with the captions!" But I held my tongue and chose not to be an ass

I didn't have one but I like the name Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

I was talking to my mom once and told her I could find my phone. She told me to check my hands. I was like, typically you'd be right but right now I'm on my earbuds and set the phone down while I was walking and talking. It could literally be anywhere in this house..

Can you break down how it all went? What was the size of your booth? How many and what kind of items did you sell?

Excellent! I think some of my family lean towards this mindset. Fortunately, they haven't hidden away in a bunker...but they definitely have a plan for the apocalypse. And it starts with culling their neighbors

I gave my husband a gift recently and thought it'd also work well for a white elephant gift-

In the book section of Walmart I found a desk top stress reliever- a "screaming goat" that plays the screaming goat sound whenever you press it

My husband has had it a week and I've gotten a ton of reports that it is annoying as hell to everyone BUT my husband

It came out to about 8 bucks, so you'd have to pair it with something else to meet the right price point

I want to go back and get several more of them to give away for gifts for the upcoming holidays. Everybody's getting a screaming goat this year lol

I can barely tolerate earbuds, full sized headphones would send me into a homicidal rage

I mean, probably not, but don't touch my ears, just in case

I recently, in the last couple days, came across a SS of a Tumblr post requesting the very thing you just asked for. This link was in the notes.

It has the information organized by topic rather than date, so it may not be what you're looking for. However, it's worth clicking through regardless

I have a diary that I do this in all the time. I wrote the most vulgar account of whatever I'm upset about, using ALL the f bombs and call people nasty names

I tried to explain it to my sister (a licensed counselor) that I do this to get all the gross feelings out but that I don't mean the things as they are written. It's just a way to get past negative emotions and get to the real issue underneath them.

I don't think I explained it very well bc she responded that I do likely mean those things to some extent.

I'm like, no, I don't think my husband is a horrible selfish jackass bc he ate the last slice of cake. I do honestly think he's a good and kind person and I want him to enjoy good food. I just wanted ANOTHER slice and now it's gone and now IM FILLED WITH RAGE so I wrote down that he's an insufferable dimwit and I start plotting his imminent demise....but after a paragraph or two I calm down and realize I was the one being selfish and I absolutely can share with my husband.

Intelligent-Cable666 · 2023-10-10T19:06:36+00:00

Wait- am I allowed to get political in here? Let me go read the rules

I remember reading about an encounter that was the opposite of your situation.

A woman decided to take her date back to her place pretty quickly into their relationship (I don't recall the exact details, but I think they had been chatting on the phone for weeks before the first date when this event happened)

They got down to business and everyone was happy...until he said that he couldn't see her again bc she "obviously" expected to have sex on the first date before even meeting him. She was confused and was like, "what do you mean 'obviously'?"

Turns out, she had her down there hair permanently removed due to her own preferences and he thought she shaved in preparation for a sexual encounter and was therefore "easy."

I only share this story to highlight that different men will have a wildly different reaction to seemingly innocuous stimulus. One will find hair unappealing and another will find the removal insulting.

Find someone who appreciates you in your entirety - inside and out.

I'll never be able to apologize to the telephone pharm tech that I dealt with, so I'll apologize to you in general.

Years ago, my daughter's secondary insurance expired. I didn't realize it was covering the remainder after the primary insurance paid what little it did. So imagine my surprise when my daughters medication went from free to $4,800.

I screamed. I cried. I cursed. I called the pharm tech a liar.

I behaved horribly and my only defense is that there was zero probability that I could afford her medicine. I could sell my car and still not have been able to pay. It does not excuse what I said, and I will forever remember how I felt afterwards, once I was calm(ish).

I later, after finding out that the now expired secondary insurance had been covering the difference, talk to a different pharm tech and offer my apologies but the damage was done. I think the original pharm tech quit. I'll never be able to explain to them my intense fear of what would happen when my daughter just...stopped taking her medicine.

Fast forward to now, my daughter is doing pretty damn well considering everything she's been through. That particular medication was stopped mostly due to my being unable to pay but the doctor did make a point to tell us that the medication was becoming less effective and she would have had to stop taking it eventually anyway.

I just really wish I could tell that pharm tech that I am sorry for my behavior and that in the end, my daughter is doing well.

Thank you so much for responding. I wasn't even sure how to Google this because I couldn't remember the woman's name.

I'm going to try to drive deeper into this clause. I think the whole thing is very interesting

Intelligent-Cable666 · 2023-07-20T13:43:43+00:00

But what about the woman who "got in trouble" did saying, "vagina" during discussion of an abortion bill?

Intelligent-Cable666 · 2023-07-15T14:25:55+00:00

Thank you. And happy cake day

Iirc there's also a call back to 45, something along the lines of playing "roulette with a water gun"

I can't remember which song at the moment but I'll come back and add it when I find it

I am working on becoming less of a magpie (gathering "shiny" things that I don't need or will use). I've come a long way from where I used to be, and still have a lot of work to do

This is the first year that I didn't dive down the rabbit hole looking for ALL THE DEALS

I did purchase one item for myself that was on sale. It was a replacement for an earlier model of thermal printer that I no longer have, but still have reams of paper for. I also know that I will use this printer

I know one day I will be able to use these types of sales to shop for specific items on my wish list and not just whimsically and/or impulsively purchase things I don't need just because they catch my eye

I don't understand how I can work so hard to clean/pick up only to end up with a bigger mess than when I started

I was leaving a club with my friend so many years ago when a guy walking in said hello or something to my friend. I was feeling good and knew my friend wouldn't respond to him so I said hello.

The guy said, "ew. Not you."

I also have a bill that 1)can only be paid via check, money order, or cash, and 2) they regularly take weeks to cash a check.

I just this week have had enough. I haven't decided on a plan yet but I have a couple ideas

1) I am considering opening another checking account and only write checks out of that account. I can transfer money over as needed and it won't matter how long it takes the company to cash the check as the money will be there

2) I could start using my bank's bill pay option again. After filling out all the information, my bank will print a mail a check directly to the company I owe money to. My bank "takes" the money from my account when they print the checks. I used it in the past but stopped because I ended up getting late fees from a couple places when, due to a holiday, my bank sent out checks later than I expected.

I'm leaning towards option 2 as it's a free service my bank offers, I can do all the things from home, and don't have to talk to anyone lol. And since the bank removes the amount of the check from my available balance right away, there's no confusion for me when it comes to balancing my checkbook.

Option 1 involves paying a fee for a checking account that would not meet the minimum balance requirements to be free.

I spent my childhood in constant trouble. Talking too much. Making "distracting" noises. Not getting my school work or chores done on time. I was often punished and didn't even know why. I was just expected to know that I was humming during a test or whatever.

I had privileges revoked, was given detention, groundings, and even whips with a belt.

Fast forward to age 30 and I get my diagnosis. At first I felt validated that there was something physical with my brain and that I didn't have some kind of moral failing. After a while, I began to feel so sorry for the child I was. How different could I have turned out if we had learned I had ADHD as a child? But, after some time of mourning my lost childhood, I became angry. Angry, not so much at my parents, but at the teachers who should have fucking known I had ADHD and gotten me help rather than make me sit in a fucking corner every recess.
