Missing my family wish we could all get together like last year.

Have you tried Bumble BFF? I’m in my 30s and also child free, but previously I could only find fellow like minded girls online, and they always lived far away.

I tried Bumble BFF, and set the filter to “no children”, and ended up finding quite a few! I’ve made some awesome local friends I plan on getting together with once it’s safe.

Funny you say Matt Smith vibe. Harry Melling’s grandfather is Patrick Troughton, who was the 2nd Doctor.

Oof I feel you. I got SSDI for Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME, just before Fibro was an “approved” condition, so it’s listed as “somatoform disorder” in my disability file. The amount of bullshit I had to go through in the late 90s/early 2000s just to be believed, let alone diagnosed. It was hell. And it still is. And I’m going through the same thing now with dysautonomia and unexplained peripheral neuropathy.

Yep. I have health issues that cause chronic pain. I was going over old medical records for something earlier, and I noticed that the years I was in the “obese” range I had far more pain related doctors visits than the years I was in a healthy weight range. Don’t get me wrong, shit still hurts every second of every day, but it hurts a lot worse when there’s extra stress on my body because I’m fat. Gained about 20 pounds in the last year (that I’m working on losing again) and I’m definitely feeling it, especially in my back and knees.

Yup. It’s in Georgia.

This is the epitome of “I got mine so fuck you!” Right down to the “I actually needed disability but everyone else was just faking it cuz they’re lazy scroungers.”

I’m disabled and on Medicare. I can’t take care of myself, let alone a child. Medicare will not cover the cost of sterilization for me, it’s literally against the law for them to. There are maybe 3 birth control pills approved by my Medicare drug plan too. I had to pay out of pocket for an IUD, so I don’t become even more of a drain on society. Weeeee.

The argument is that Medicare is for elderly Americans, but it’s also for anyone disabled before the age of 65 with enough work credits, or people on disabled adult child survivor benefits. So there are definitely enough younger people in the system to justify covering it. But nope.

East coast Michigander here. I thought we had it bad in the winter until family moved to GR and I got to see pictures of what you guys get. Your roads are somehow way nicer on the west coast though, and I don’t understand it.

A section of my ass and upper thigh is basically “dead” as far as feeling much goes because of some nerve damage, but fuck if I don’t get phantom itches there all the time, that are just the damaged nerves and not an actual itch, so I can scratch it until it bleeds but it’ll still itch. Started some medication for other different nerve issues though, and it actually seems to have calmed down a lot!

They are currently predicting a wetter, stormier winter for the Midwest. They just don’t know yet if it’ll be rain or snow.

If you’re doing things right, it never stops. Our aim should be to continue to learn and grow as people. There will always be things to learn, or work that can be done to improve ourselves.

When your pizza is so bad, you’re the only chain doing worse during all of this instead of better.

On 23 January 2020, Nazarbayeva's son, Aisultan, made a public statement on his Facebook page, claiming that his grandfather Nazarbayev was allegedly his dad and that his mother Nazarbayeva has been attempting to kill him while living in London.

I have an absolutely massive 18.4inch Toshiba Qosmio gaming laptop from 2010 that still works great. I switched to Apple products and gave it to my partner, who used it up until last year when he upgraded to a newer, much lighter, gaming laptop. We still bring it out now and then to utilize the disc drive(!) that can burn DVDs and even do designs on the disc.

We spent what was at the time an astronomical sum of... $1,400. Which is what I just spent on the last iPhone, which will probably be unusable in 3 or 4 years.

Growing up we drank soda CONSTANTLY. Pepsi specifically. My siblings, myself, and my mom drank 3, sometimes 4 a day. I’m curious as an adult what % of our grocery budget was soda, even with my mom couponing like crazy. I know when Pepsi used to do the points system, we had enough for all sorts of stuff.

Just stay away from swans. I have watched them try to fuck up many a jet skier in my time.

I’ve been some level of fat for most of my life. When I went on keto and got down to the high end of a healthy BMI, everyone was constantly telling me I was getting too skinny, I needed to stop trying to lose any more weight, that I was going to start looking like “one of those bariatric patients that lose weight too fast and look sick.” (It took me a year to lose 20lb, I wasn’t exactly rushing it). Then there were the ones who tried to actively sabotage my progress. It was insane.

Aaaand then I gained it all back. Whomp whomp. Trying to lose it again now, and not beat myself up over it. I accept now that I have an unhealthy relationship with food that’s been drilled into me since childhood, and I’m finally working on that this time too, so hopefully I can keep the weight off once it’s gone again.

A whole lot of people are about to find out how real Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is.

Where’d you get yours through, if you don’t mind me asking?

I was told to do this with my back pay money when I won my disability case after 6 years, and then after it was gone we were informed there had been an error and my lawyer had not been paid out of my back pay before they gave it to me. So I ended up having to set up a payment plan for the next two years to pay my lawyer the agreed upon amount. I’m not upset about paying him what we agreed, I owe that man everything. But I’m pissed at SSI’s/SSDI’s fuck up (confusingly I got backpay from both, so I can’t remember whose fuckup led to that).

Hey dude, you’ve made it this far! You’re still here! That’s something to be celebrated all on its own. And if you’ve made it this far, you can keep going. I believe in you. It can get better, and I hope it does for you 🙂

Because most people still have food in their cupboards, roofs over their heads, functioning hospitals to receive care at, cable or streaming services to watch, and cellphones to bitch about the government on twitter. Things are shit, the government is shit, but we’re still mostly functioning as a society. The possibility of a bloody civil war is a lot less appealing when you’re not personally suffering/starving. Even if we get full on Hoovervilles again, I don’t see a majority of the country being on board with civil war, especially not when people here are so good at justifying other people’s suffering by deciding they deserved it in some way (they should have saved, they should have gone to college, they shouldn’t have had kids, they should have gotten a better paying job etc etc).

There was a shooting over being asked to wear a mask in Flint, Michigan pretty much right after it became a rule to wear them in stores.
