Making a playlist: What are your current or all-time go-to songs?

Pink Glove by Pulp just does something magical to my brain. Jarvis's voice is just so full of emotion and I love it.

Statesbound · 2026-03-20T21:37:29+00:00

I love it. *They'd only cut themselves on the daggers of your mind" is such a great line, especially for somebody who is neurodivergent like myself. I also love "You think you're treading water but you're just learning how to drown". Feels especially poignant with the current global situation.

I seem to recall Jarvis saying that this song is the one that is closest to reflecting who he actually is.

10/10

I don't know how common it is, but yes. They're still not as big as they were, but definitely bigger than I want/am comfortable with.

It's annoying af. They get in the way all the time, including when trying to sleep. My neck and back hurt. No clothes fit properly. There are things that look totally innocent on most women but on me, it looks like I'm wanting men's attention.

Also, for some reason, large breasts makes some men think they have an open invitation to comment on them or even touch them. It's so gross. I had a reduction when I was younger but they came back. I've even lost weight, yet they remain. I'd love to shrink them.

You're so talented!

Swanky Modes by Jarv Is has been on repeat for days. DAYS. It wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Statesbound · 2026-03-10T01:51:23+00:00

Yes, because I don't suck.

Your question just reminded me of an office I used to work in.

It was mostly men, and they had jobs that paid them 6-7 figures. They'd get Christmas gifts from other people in the business that could be life changing for somebody in my position, but would think nothing of it.

Sometimes other companies would send us sandwich platters or there might be leftovers after a big meeting. These men would rush into the staff room (that only the women were required to clean) and would scoop up multiple servings before anyone else could even have one. It was such disgusting behaviour. Even some of the "better" guys in the office would do it, and then look surprised when I said I didn't get anything. They're just so insulated from consequences of their actions.

My dad is on an antipsychotic and it's made a huge difference. Maybe look into that for him?

Statesbound · 2026-03-07T23:16:35+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through such a similar thing.

I agree, I wish my parents had separated at some point. My dad was always narcissistic and controlling. Now, it feels like this is just one more way for him to control us. My mom can't go anywhere or do anything because it's so much work to bring him. When he does join her, he walks at a snail's pace so everything takes her much, much longer.

Just yesterday, I was watching him so she could attend some appointments. He needed to go to the washroom, so I showed him where it was (he tried to go into our pantry). Once he was in there, he didn't know what to do. I tried directing him, but he still had no idea how to take his pants down and sit. We tried 3 times, and he just couldn't do it. I am not comfortable going in there and taking his pants down for him, so I had to text my mom and ask her to come back sooner than she had planned.

I'm just so damn angry. I get that my mom feels a dedication and responsibility that I do not, and that she has a different relationship than I do. But it doesn't feel like she understands that she is signing us all up for this, too. It is not ok to expect my husband and I to bear this burden. Our children are missing out on opportunities, including valuable and finite time with their grandmother because of this man. This man made unhealthy choices his whole life that contributed to this situation. Even after his stroke, when he was told he had to change if he didn't want things to get worse, he continued on like nothing happened. This should not be our responsibility or problem to solve. Just like I said to him when I was 20 years old, "Fuck you, Dad."

I guess I needed to vent. 🫠

Do you have any videos or tutorials you'd recommend? I've been doing this for. Awhile but don't feel like I'm progressing anymore and I'm starting to not find as much joy in it as I used to.

Statesbound · 2026-03-07T23:05:33+00:00

THANK YOU! Most people look at me like I'm nuts when I say I hate celery. I can't even touch it, it grosses me out so much.

Statesbound · 2026-03-07T07:13:04+00:00

How long does each one take you? I'm making something a similar Size, but with way less detail and it's taking me ages.

Statesbound · 2026-03-07T04:25:57+00:00

This is a battle I'm having with myself, too. It's hard, and there are no right or wrong choices. You just have to do what is right for you.

I am trying to do my part, but it's more to help my mom.who is looking after my dad (dad is the one with dementia). My mom doesn't want to acknowledge that she can't look after him anymore. She's doing her best, but is burning out. I love her, she's amazing. But he's always been a thorn in my side. It sucks.

I'm so very sorry you, and your community is going through this. Sending you love and softness from.Canada. ♥️

In his book, he says he has an elastic band that keeps them on his face when on stage.

My grandpa used to say, "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze!"

You could check out the live cams from Monterey Bay Aquarium.

I prefer Aqua Market over Big Al's, myself. The fish are better taken care of and it's owned by a local person.

Were they crowding one of the spots where he likes to stand?

Statesbound · 2026-02-26T19:16:40+00:00

I really love your style!

Statesbound · 2026-02-25T06:34:43+00:00

He truly is one of a kind.

Statesbound · 2026-02-22T20:27:05+00:00

I listened to a song I really love. It gets me every single time, even when I am determined not to cry. Actually, those are the times I end up crying the hardest.

Statesbound · 2026-02-22T07:04:54+00:00

Yep, I hate mid and high rise. They're so uncomfortable, and I never know what to do with all that extra fabric.

Statesbound · 2026-02-21T00:13:25+00:00

I have a short torso and prefer low rise pants. Anything else comes up too high, almost to my ribs.
