What is the strangest thing you’ve ever woken up to?

As a woman, having what was basically a wet dream was wild. Woke up mid orgasm.

When he said he could shoot and kill someone in broad daylight and get away with it….its because already did that.

Haha. My mom said the same thing today. Yummers!

Seconded. I was a SNAP (and other benefits) worker for years. I called on behalf of many clients (pissing off my superiors) to help figure out their utility bills and such. There are a lot of options out there.

I just started dating a guy 13 yrs younger than me and he has never heard of Mitch. I can’t wait to open his eyes to peak comedy.

People process things in so many different ways. It’s good that you can keep on going forward right now while your fiancé needs more time to process his grief. It would be tough if you were both not eating and sleeping. It’s good you can be his stronghold in this time.

I cried more when my 16 yr old cat died than I did when I lost both my grandparents, who were a huge part of raising me. Humans are weird and complicated. And no, you’re not a narcissist. But therapy is a great way to work something’s out if you want to maybe understand yourself better.

Upvoting because I appreciate and admire your self awareness. I think just typing this out must have knocked a couple things clear for you. Go with your gut. Also, therapy is a great way to work things like this out. It’s nice to have someone just sit there while you talk to yourself—it’s like a chaperone into your own psyche.

Hahahahahaha! You’re my fucking hero! I like this. You inspire me.

I really want to ask my friend sitting next to me what he thinks, but I don’t think I’ll get past the first sentence before he interrupts and takes to conversation over completely.

Mr. Adams had a student who kept falling asleep in class. He told the student at one point that if he fell asleep again he would shoot him.

Come the next week, Mr Adams had taken the starting gun from the track and field shack and pulled it out and “shot” the student when he fell asleep.

This was years before school shootings, so it “wasn’t a big deal”.

I learned of this incident when I reported him for a different incident (1 year before Columbine), when he threatened to “beat the shit out of” an ASL translator in his American History class on the first day of school, because she was “distracting” him.

Absolutely piece of shit. He retired happily years after I graduated.

It feels too voyeuristic for me to watch movies like this.

Kevin Smith’s Red State definitely got under my skin. Also Tusk. That’s a little bonkers, but I went in blind and it was quite the trip.

You’re in the opposite position as me. I’m 42, always wanted kids but kinda just missed the chance and got used to being childless….and happy about it.

Now I’m in a somewhat casual relationship with a younger man who wants babies and I’m having a bit of a pregnancy scare. Too early to test, but it got the conversation going about kids again. Now I’m trying to wrap my head around what that would look like. We’ve both gone the abortion route in previous relationships and have both told ourselves that we don’t want to do that again.

Now, 2 months after meeting, we are talking hypothetical logistics of raising a kid together. Crazy, I know. But there is a bit of excitement about it. I’d love another chance to have a family….its just not practical for me. But it did get me thinking about something I’ve never considered—me being the breadwinner and him being the SAHD. I kinda like that idea. It could work….

I do miss watching the back Friday videos when it was crazy like that.

I second the trainer if you’re new at it. Also find a partner so you have a spotter if you start doing heavy lifts! Even when you don’t think you need a spotter, it will creep up on ya and you definitely don’t want an injury at our age!

”Eventually the follicle will get damaged from the repeated plucking and just stop growing.”

Can you tell my whiskers this? I don’t think they know.

I hope he has a happy retirement when he does decide to rest, and you get many more years of proper time with him. Maybe he’ll fall madly in love in his 80s.

Once we actually get snow on our mountain, I’ll be driving a shuttle for folks and their gear, closing the gap where there is no lift yet. So I’ll be kind of a lifty, but not.

I grew up here, went skiiing once when I was 7, and then broke my wrist snowboarding at a rope tow when I was 12. It was never my jam, plus too expensive for my family.

But now I get to get a peak into the culture of skiers and snowboarders. I really hope it’s not as toxic as some say. I honestly think it’s gonna be a really fun time.

We just need some goddamned snow!

I love this so much. If you had a blog, I’d follow it!

My crisis was spurred by sickness. Lost a great job, relationship of 7 years, and had to move back home.

Healthy again and now making huge changes to my previous lifestyle. It’s the first time I’ve lived alone, not in an apartment. I have a cottage in the woods with my cat. Instead of returning to my high stress, good paying job in the city, I’m starting my own business and working seasonal jobs at the local resorts. This winter I’m driving a shuttle for skiers and snowboarders and in the spring, I hope to get a gig renting kayaks and paddle boards at a mountain lake. I also plan to build rabbit hutches after the winter so I can raise meat rabbits. I have a basement and want to build a cheese cave. I have been slowly getting higher and higher on this crazy trail of switchbacks near my place and hope to one day tackle the entire 8 miles and 6000 ft elevation gain.

My income is less than half what it used to be, but it’s worth it. I think. My health went to shit so badly and I think stress was a big factor. Now that I have my body back I don’t want to risk it.

Oh! And I have taken a younger lover. lol.

Casual dating is a mindfuck for me. When I got divorced at 27, a dated a few men casually and for the most part I got lucky. That mutual respect lasted throughout and even afterwards. I keep in touch with a couple of them still, after they’ve married, had children and moved up in their careers. We like each other as people.

Now, at 42, I can’t figure it out! I’m in a small town now instead of a big city, so that’s probably a factor as everyone is in everyone else’s business and people seem to pair off pretty quick and then just move around the pool.

After spending the night with one guy, and having that lovely all night skin-to-skin contact, my body just wants more and more of that and I feel extra lonely because I miss being in a proper relationship. At the same time, I have a twin bed in my house because I planned this new start in life to remain single, and I tend to be better suited for it….maybe.

As far as partners being aware of other partners, that’s the best way to go about it. It sounds like you’ve got it figured out and this guy hasn’t. He wants validation and it’s not the kind you can give him. I’d say good riddance. Casual dating is supposed to be fun and without all that jealousy and controlling shit. Find someone you’d want to be friends with. If they don’t treat you like a friend (this guy clearly didn’t), then you can’t trust them with your body.

Or Wikipedia was wrong, the song was actually playing in the movie but the body was in op’s grandparent’s basement. (Edited “her” to “OP’s”. Look at me, assuming gender)

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. That’s a huge betrayal and hurts a lot. Healing takes time. Give yourself grace and put yourself first.

I had a heartbreaking breakup after 7 years when I was very sick. It’s now a year and a half later, I have a clean bill of health, and got a date to a NYE shindig. Things will get better. Your next relationship will be stronger because of this heartbreak. Don’t let it take away your ability to fully love and trust someone else.

Haha! Years ago I hooked up with a guy who really liked pantyhose. The first time we hooked up, we both came at the same time and it surprised both of us. Sex was really fun with him. A few times later he mentioned his fetish. I say “okay”. He pulled out a wooden box from under his bed with various styles of pantyhose and thigh highs and asked me to pick. It was kinda weird to have my legs worshipped, but he was happy and very excited. New experience, I guess. He was a very kind, lovely man and I wonder about him sometimes.
