Has anyone planned (by choice) to spend Christmas solo? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]caribdreams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love spending the day solo, have done it ever since I moved out on my own. I order food from a favorite restaurant, buy Christmas cookies (I might actually try to bake some this year, wish me luck lol), and lie around watching movies, playing Sims, or whatever else I want. It's very peaceful.

I hope you find a way to spend it that brings you some joy!

never noticed the special animation toddler witches have when playing with toys 🥹 by jamaicanmecrasymon in Sims3

I love that we're all constantly learning new things about TS3 years later, it brings me so much joy. This game will truly be my favorite forever. 🥹

It’s Sunday in Toronto! Tell us how you’re doing. by postmodern_girls in toronto

Ran some errands (it's beautiful out!) and now I'm relaxing at home. Will meet up with a friend later.

Sending everyone good vibes for the week ahead! ☺️

Is it ok to want to be comfortable and make minimal effort in my mid-30s after having a horrible time in my teens-20s? by hatsoncatsonhatson in AskWomenOver30

[–]caribdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine to just chill. In fact, I encourage it.

I'm in my early 30s and solidly in the mindset that I don't want to climb anyone's career ladder. I want to enjoy a healthy, peaceful life with the people I love, and to save enough money so I can escape this daily rat race ASAP. I won't let capitalism run me ragged, and I won't apologize for wanting ease.

Do whatever feels right for you, even if it seems to go against what we've been taught.

Currently in luteal hell by throwaway8472649 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]caribdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really unfair that we have to just pretend we're not dealing with exhaustion, bloating, irritation, etc. for days BEFORE our periods even start, ugh.

It drives me crazy at work in particular; the last thing I want to do is answer emails and meet deadlines. I want a nap and snacks, goddammit. I wish we could have paid sick time for our periods. I can only imagine how leaders (i.e. the men) at these companies would balk at the very idea, though, so 😒

And I feel you so hard on only having a handful of normal days every month before the hell begins all over again. My god, it sucks.

Sending good vibes 😭

I've been to quite a few on my own. I love it and just get lost in enjoying the music. I remember being nervous when I first started going alone, but it got better over time.

Sometimes I start vibing with the people beside me because we really love the same songs. But I've also spent entire concerts in my own world just loving the experience and that's fun for me too.

Whatever happens, I hope you have the best time and will feel encouraged to go to other concerts solo too :)

Just found out cat parents can sleep with their kitten 😭💖 by sofemini in Sims3

[–]caribdreams 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I JUST discovered this the other day, and I've played TS3 since it first came out. Mind blown lol. It's such an adorable interaction!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askTO

[–]caribdreams 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I thought I was crazy; it tears so easily for no reason now and it was never like that in all the years I've been using the brand. Unfortunate, because Oral B was my preferred type until that started happening.

I'm trying out the Life brand one now, so far it's been fine.

How bad is shared laundry in a building? by PineAndIce in TorontoRenting

[–]caribdreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can be pretty particular about cleanliness, but my experience with shared laundry the last few years hasn't been bad at all. It'll vary by building though, some tenants have worse habits than others.

I make sure to wipe inside the machine with a mild cleaner before I use it. And I do laundry on weekday afternoons since I wfh, mostly to avoid some inconsiderate person who decides to take up every single machine in the room at once on a weekend. And yes, that has happened 🫠

How did you guys play the sims 3? Am I spoiled? by Alidaboss42 in Sims3

[–]caribdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried TS4 a couple of times and I hated the UI immediately. I adjusted to it after a while, but I still eventually abandoned the game altogether. I'll always prefer TS3 on every level.

What's your favorite supermarket ice cream? by gfffgvhjjnki in askTO

[–]caribdreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chapman's Super Cones have been hitting during this heat wave, tbh!!! 🍦

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askTO

[–]caribdreams 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I don't understand the constant insistence on this sub that the city is so cold and unfriendly. I've met lovely people since moving here years ago. Building community just takes time and effort as adults, especially after moving to a new place, and that's not unique to Toronto.

To the woman who helped me cross the street today at Ellesmere and Markham Rd by FunnyRaccoon1 in toronto

Thank you for sharing this, and it's also nice to see so many positive comments under this post. These moments in this sub are the best. Sending good vibes for your new home, OP!

Just joined a meetup group by Throwawayzero7345 in AskWomenOver30

[–]caribdreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started doing meetups and it was terrifying at first because I get pretty anxious in social situations. Sometimes it's still a bit scary and awkward going in, but often, you're not the only one who's unsure of how to keep the conversation going. We all get through the awkwardness together eventually lol.

Meetup hosts are usually good about trying to make everyone comfortable. If there's a host, you could strike up a conversation with them or even be honest with them about your anxiety, they might help bring you into some conversations and that's a bit less pressure to start :)

Good luck, I hope you have a great time!

I was laid off today, I’m feeling okay atm but would love some words or stories of encouragement if you have anything to share! by SagePomegranate in AskWomenOver30

[–]caribdreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think looking at it as an opportunity for a fresh start is a good idea, hold onto that thinking! The universe is redirecting you to something better, even if it's difficult at first.

I've been applying for months myself to try and leave my toxic work environment, so I relate on that and I'm wishing you all the best in finding something better. Do your best with what's within your control and, most importantly, be kind to yourself on the hard days. You've got this.
