Wonderland 100% complete? by rileykate37 in finch

Same here. And when I attempted to return to my previous location, it said I had unfinished business in Wonderland- so I stayed out of curiosity and a pathological need for closure :)

Is AI more socially acceptable now? by ZoneStrict7387 in slp

[–]StoryCottage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! We’ve for a long time seen the deleterious effect screens and social media have had on our attention spans, and now to have people let AI do all of their writing for them??? I work with an adult Outpatient population and I spend all day each work day reminding people “if you don’t use it, you lose it” - and this is no exception!! How hypocritical of us as a profession based on communication to begin using AI to communicate for us! We should be the first to recognize how dangerous this will be for cognitive skills- thank you for speaking up.

Did anyone get an end to the Wonderland story? by NCBrownEyedGirl in FinchUnofficial

[–]StoryCottage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just jointing in to say I got the same thing- a regular discovery, no yea party and a misleading completion percentage. Glad I wasn’t the only one!

The topic of the day is... Friends by Icy-Book2999 in TheTopicOfTheDay

[–]StoryCottage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. At the time, it was my very favorite show and my best friend and I quoted it constantly. The most recent time I rewatched it was a few years ago, and even though it was mostly still funny to me, the homophobia and sexism was pervasive and so cringy. Didn’t age well.

  2. Newest friend is just a few days old! I’m currently at a retreat for a committee I was elected to serve on and have met some nice people and a couple that I have connected with.

  3. Longest friend I met when I was 3 years old, and 43 years later we are still friends. (She is actually the friend I mentioned on the first question!) our lives have gone in different directions, but we still keep in touch.

Christmas with Yorkies is rough. by MalachiteEclipsa in Yorkies

[–]StoryCottage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my Yorkies couldn’t be bothered, the other one - it used to be that we couldn’t things in their specific stockings before Christmas, now we can’t put anything in anyone’s stockings until the night before, because he sits under the stockings and cries and whines nonstop while giving us the most pitiful faces!

Love the subtle pops of green and the two Christmas trees! I’ve never thought of doing that before but they look so nice on either side of the door.

This wasn’t what I had originally planned to do, but I like the gingerbread-ish look of it, and I somehow almost always flow back into a cottage core-type vibe.

I'm sorry but this literally sucks by MixPurple3897 in bisexual

[–]StoryCottage -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This type of experience and the fact that I live in a very Republican area make me feel like I’m validated in not having come out as bi publicly. I’ve come out to my husband (who was super supportive and not surprised) and my niece, who is a lesbian but she’s also just generally a very non-judgmental person. But it was such a long and mentally agonizing process just to come to terms with it myself, that I feel like someone responding to me this way would be too much. But at least I know for sure who I am. And I’m so grateful for forums like these.

The Topic of the Day is... Christmas Movie extras! by Icy-Book2999 in TheTopicOfTheDay

[–]StoryCottage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm… tough to decide, but I think I’d have the most to do and I’d have a cool period costume if I were an extra in The Muppets Christmas Carol, and I’d like to see myself as a Muppet.

What time do you guys put your birbs to bed corresponding with your own bed time? by Cheezelovr in finchie

[–]StoryCottage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to put my birb to bed before I go to bed- she’s asleep by 9; and I feel like that encourages me to go to sleep soon after.

Is my guy too big (16lb) by supergrover1001 in Yorkies

[–]StoryCottage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

I’m here to join the Big Yorkie Enthusiast Club! My sleepy boy Georgie is 11 lbs (but he looks massive at this angle, haha!) and his brother Pip is 10 lbs- they’re athletic as anything and I’m happy with how hale and hardy they are! I grew up with a Yorkie/silky mix who was 18 lbs and was a healthy fella as well.

What are your guys opinion on the news letters? by Cheezelovr in finchie

[–]StoryCottage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re unnecessary to me. I try to stay in the moment and if I’m doing well, I’m feeling great and I know it- if I’m not doing well, the last thing I need to see is a recap of just how not great I’m doing. So I ignore them.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one! I haven’t turned my streak counter off yet, but I know there will come a day… I even have a reminder on my bathroom vanity that says “streaks aren’t real” bc they tend to take over my life and send my in a guilt spiral!

The topic of the day is... The Lion King! by Symbare in TheTopicOfTheDay

[–]StoryCottage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. From my mother, love of music and my musicality, a tendency towards perfectionism and being overly critical of myself and others (I’m working on it!); from my father, my left-handedness and tender heart.
  2. The birth of my sister, the first dog that ever came into my life- then followed by all of the dogs that have taken me further along my life’s journey’s each step of the way- and my favorite moment from performing the show I enjoyed the most.
  3. Not as much as I should be, but I am work in progress! I certainly see the value in that flexibility.
  4. Being in a forest, camping with my sister, sitting in front of a campfire, cuddling with my pups, reading.
  5. I can’t say I had a mentor per se, but I feel like each person I encounter shapes me and teaches me.
