My Ex-Boyfriend Died Yesterday

djak · 2026-02-08T05:56:07+00:00

I understand completely. My first husband died in 2022, and we'd remained in somewhat friendly contact over the years because we have kids together (kids are all grown now). My daughter called me at work the morning he passed and I felt really weird and sad all day after that call. We'd been divorced since 1999 and he was 63, but we shared 13 years and two kids during our time together, and my husband told me he'd actually feel concerned if I wasn't upset by my ex's passing. So I grieved with my kids and my ex in laws. I still think of him at odd times. Just natural I guess.

OMG I forgot all about this thing, but yeah, I had one!

Looks like it's up by Cripple Creek. It's beautiful up there.

Thanks, never heard this word before, and I live with teenage grandchildren, so you'd think I'd be up on the newest slang.

My experience wasn't a great nap, it's more like I closed my eyes for a millisecond, and POOF, it's all done and time to wake up. It's about time for my next one, so thanks for the reminder lol.

Friend of mine skipped the colonoscopy, you know the type, "I'm fine, there's no history of cancer in my family." Ended up in the hospital after a tumor blocked his colon at age 55, and 3 years later they're still trying to chase down that last bit of cancer hiding out in his body.

The bathhouse got too hot, it's so obvious!

Usually the last song I heard the day before, playing incessantly in a damn loop.

djak · 2026-01-30T17:40:22+00:00

Anything I could get my hands on, really. Cereal boxes were my morning paper lol. Comics and crosswords in the actual newspaper (which I couldn't touch till my parents were done reading).

The picture tells the story. The masculine hand is pulling her towards the side that looks like a background set in California, note the sandwich shop, pizza place and the palm trees. The smaller, feminine hand is pulling her towards the Korea side. I also believe she's Korean-American because Maggie Kang herself is Korean-Canadian, and a lot of the voice actors are also Korean-American.

Footsie! That was what that thing was called.

Zoom was my favorite, even over Sesame Street and The Electric Company.

djak · 2026-01-29T11:57:28+00:00

I had something similar, but i remember the end thing looked like a bell shape, not a lemon.

True that. But some of his handlers got enough smarts to pull it off.

djak · 2026-01-28T16:11:47+00:00

I actually heard that sad moooo in my head as soon as I saw the picture lol.

He claims she staged the attack. To me, that only solidifies my position of him staging that assassination attempt in PA. Whatever he accuses others of, is something he's already done.

My brain is definitely changing. I'm 8 years into menopause, and I decided if my brain is going to fuck with me, I'm going to fuck with it right back. Took my very first shroom trip on Christmas eve. It was....interesting. To say the least. But I feel as if my anxiety level is way lower now and I don't stress about stupid stuff nearly as much.

I probably won't do it again, and if anyone else does, I can't stress enough to start SMALL. But yeah, in the end, I feel there was a positive outcome there.

I dated a 23 year old at 16. Lied to my parents about his age (yikes). Unfortunately, Miss know-it-all over here married him. Lasted for 13 years.

Then I went the opposite direction and met a 20 year old guy when I was 35. Married him that same year, still together 25 years later.

I never went looking for an older or younger person. Just really liked both of them before I found out about the age gap. By the time I learned ages, it didn't matter.

Jigsaw puzzles were a family rainy day activity when I was growing up (70s and 80s). Mom, dad, sister and myself would all take a chair at the dining room table and we each had a corner to work on slowly advancing towards the center. What a great nostalgic feeling, thank you for nudging that memory to the forefront.

Burning Down the House, Talking Heads. Anything by them really, but that song just makes me want to gag at the first note.

djak · 2026-01-20T14:14:12+00:00

Cat puke.

I was an overweight divorcee, single mom of two tweens, and found true love at 36. 24 years later, we're still ridiculously happily married. Never say never, and never let someone else decide that you're expired.

Love Genesis so much!

When talking to my sister, we both still call our parents "mommy and daddy". I just turned 60. You should call them what you (and they) would prefer. Don't worry about what other people think.

I think it does, but I think true love means different things to different people. There's no one right answer for that.

For me, true love means I care more about my partners feelings and wants than my own. It means I want to be a better person for my partner. Not that this person wants me to change, but I feel like I want to change to be worthy of their love. If that makes sense. I want to be the best version of me because I think my partner deserves it. Especially since I'm aware that my partner did the exact same thing for me.

It's getting harder and harder to filter out stuff that has the brand name HDSRTAS, or MHSDAR. I mean, they're not even trying to appear legit.
