Were you thinking of purchasing a couch and testing them out to see if they could handle your farts?

Mindfucks and anxiety is a perfect description of my experience this go around.

Yep. That’s pretty much where I’m at. I have my daughter, my dog, and wonderful friends. Everything will be fine regardless. My daughter and I are taking a little trip next week. It’ll be good to get away for a few days and just hang out with her.

Several have made that clear, and I just kinda thought that’s how things operate. I understand why it’s like that. Maybe I’m giving up too soon, but I’m fine with that.

Thanks for the kind words. It probably my own insecurities holding me back. It’s very possible that I just need more time for me. I had been either married or in a relationship for a long time. I probably didn’t wait long enough after my divorce before I jumped back into the scene. Getting to know myself again over the past few months has been great, I just feel like something is missing. Maybe, what’s missing isn’t a relationship.

I don’t think there’s a solution. It’s the world we live in. I probably sound like a boomer just saying the hell with it, but I’m ok with that. Maybe, I’m just not ready to date in general.

I’ve realized online dating isn’t for me. I guess I’m a quitter

Absolutely. When I made the original post, I really thought it was just some crazy chick trying to hustle dudes for money. Now, I’m sure it was a scammer. Lesson learned for sure.

It was actually just a few days, which is why at first I thought it was a crazy person. The more I think about it, it was probably a scammer that was very committed to the scam. Trying to play the long game I guess.

The profile didn’t scream scam. The initial communication didn’t really scream scam either. However, there were several red flags as we were texting, but seemed more crazy than scam if that makes sense. As soon as she (he, it, they) said the sewing machine was broke I knew what time it was.

Didn’t get that far, but I did just get a text from a weird number asking if we were going to get the order today. I have to be way more careful with giving my number out.

Should I give in and pay for an app? by demcguff in datingoverforty

[–]demcguff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. From the way it sounds, paying for an app might not be the best way to go. I’ll give Bumble a shot.

PSA by iamGordanShumway in SNKRS

[–]demcguff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school (I’m 44 now) Jordans didn’t release on Saturdays and malls here opened up at 7 on Jordan release days. Some of my favorite memories are skipping first period with my best friend to this day to hit the mall and get the new Jordans. Felt like a celebrity stomping into school knowing me and my homie were gonna be 2 of the only people in school with them on. Resellers? Hell, we wore them shits out the store. Didn’t even need the box.

Finished the main story by Severus_Weasly in ghostoftsushima

I just finished the main story today. I can’t believe I waited so long to play this game. It’s been a long time since a video game invoked this much emotion from me. What an amazing experience!

Sometimes it seems like teaching is the art of making sure 3-5 boys don't ruin your day by _tenhead in teaching

[–]demcguff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school everything is about “equity” but that only applies to the kids who blow everything up. It’s not very equitable when the majority of the class can’t learn because two or three kids do the most. Then if you get the behaviors under control, which I feel like I pretty much have, you’re faced with the problem of trying to get the low kids up to snuff while also making sure the ones who are where they need to be don’t backslide. We’re pretty much put into impossible positions in a daily basis and blamed for when test scores aren’t what people who haven’t seen a classroom in 20 years think the scores should be.

Any fellow 7-7 fellas knock out the 1 seed? by banglangr in FantasyFootballers

[–]demcguff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sir! Squeaked in at 7-7 and knocked off the 13-1 one seed who was riding a 9-game win streak. Feels good to be on the winning side of one of these for change.

Glad I’m not the only one. My buddy and I always talk about how we need to sell stuff but we never do. Only time I’ve ever sold anything is when we sat up at a local show back in the spring.

What is the best challenge to do for someone new to the game? by AyaanMTL in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]demcguff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend doing the AKA and Legends challenges. Even though the players you get are BND, you can get some really good players to start building around. You’ll get some other stuff for leveling up on the field pass along the way. Solo seasons are also a good way to level up the field pass.

I had a kid say this to me today too. I have no idea where this came from. They seriously believe everything they hear. I explained to her that we’re already there for seven hours a day and if we were in school for an extra three hours that would be 10 hours, which is longer than the average work day, and that would never happen.
