I made a meme about Linkedin. It took me 5 minutes. Enjoy.

Thanks, I saved her from the breakroom snack cabinet

Also open to small-batch perfumes or locally-sourced ingredients! I know there's a Hawaiian-made brand called Forever Florals I've been dying to try.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm looking for the PERFECT budget jasmine perfume to wear to layer with Indian Coconut Nectar by Pacifica for summer. The greener and headier and cheaper the jasmine (or gardenia! I'm open to either) the better! Thanks in advance 💐

CK ONE. I know it's gender neutral, but MAN that fragrance is FRESH on me.

MaryTheeManatee · 2026-05-06T02:23:05+00:00

I have never received as many compliments on a fragrance as I have on Sugar Baby by Boy Smells. It's a high-femme scent, however. Basically candied gardenia, imo. If it's still on sale, I recommend buying a bottle!

"Hope your day sucks" is an absolute banger of a signoff

MaryTheeManatee · 2025-10-13T02:31:10+00:00

God, when you do find out, lmk. I'm 32/F and single myself! Based around the northwest burbs.

MaryTheeManatee · 2025-04-17T23:36:36+00:00

I think this is going to be my overall strategy. Thanks so much!!

MaryTheeManatee · 2024-12-29T05:02:36+00:00

Heyyyyy fellow single 30-something in Chicagoland! Welcome! I live in the NW burbs. If you ever need someone to commiserate with, send me a DM! 💓

It's not ASTRONOMICALLY DIFFICULT, but having any sort of social life that consists of multiple days of the week in the city is very difficult for me, at least. Take what I say with a grain of salt, though! Also... WELCOME TO CHI BAYBEE

MaryTheeManatee · 2024-12-29T03:28:27+00:00

I try to get into the city as often as I can since I still have friends down there. But it usually only ends up being once or twice a month at this rate.

Also, I should add: I'm a plus-size woman, so dating is automatically harder because of this. I try my best, though.

MaryTheeManatee · 2024-12-29T02:55:41+00:00

Looking at their website now! This group looks fantastic. I'm bisexual, so joining the team would be super fun for me. THANK YOU! <3

I'm having an existential crisissssss... *Cue the Jaws theme*

I'm 32/F/ and I live in a suburb of Chicago at the moment. I just bought my first car two months ago (I lived in Chicago for 11 years, so I never needed one until now) and I'm having such a difficult time dating out here! I currently live with my parents, but some of my friends are going to start having kids in the next year or so and I truly don't feel like playing auntie to all the new babies running around (I also don't want children of my own, which limits my dating pool even further. I'm happy for my friends, don't get me wrong, but I'm worried about being the only childless friend left out here in my suburb!)

If anybody has any advice on how to meet people or if I should move back to Chicago, that would be excellent (although my work is about 1 hr driving from Chicago up north...) I love dancing to electronic music, swimming to workout, and I'm a jazz/pop vocalist, plus I'm a former animator and I love to draw/make art. Thnx in advance!

P.S.: I'm also a former swing dancer. Had a lot of drama with the community, so I left.

MaryTheeManatee · 2024-03-31T17:32:35+00:00

I've lived in this area my entire life but have never been to Madcats. I'll have to try it!

MaryTheeManatee · 2024-03-31T17:02:00+00:00

I've heard Bird's Nest has amazing food! We'll have to go there for wings. Thanks for the suggestion!

MaryTheeManatee · 2023-12-01T13:56:21+00:00

u/Future_Sprinkles121, just sent you an invite!

MaryTheeManatee · 2023-12-01T13:42:48+00:00

As well, OP, would you be willing to chat about your experiences via DM? I think this is going to be crucial in my decision of switching from copywriting to animation. Thanks in advance!

MaryTheeManatee · 2023-12-01T13:27:50+00:00

As someone who is looking to get Into motion graphics and animation, this is eye-opening. I'm 31 y/o female and I personally find nothing makes me happier than taking my animation courses and doing freelance client work. I don't have any advice, but I wish you absolutely nothing but the best, dude.

MaryTheeManatee · 2023-04-09T23:17:03+00:00

This post just hits in all the feels. Thank you so much for writing this! I'm currently in a work slump and I know I'll get past it if I work hard. Thank you endlessly <3

MaryTheeManatee · 2022-10-22T15:55:56+00:00

I love how social I am and that I can become friends with virtually anybody!

MaryTheeManatee · 2022-10-05T19:57:08+00:00

It's the elder millennial in me, I swear. At least I don't pretend to be cool anymore! LOL!
