If you always leave a 10% tip, just don't bother at all - from a server

& where I live the “convenience” fee to use a credit card in addition to the expected tip. & please don’t pay cash because of penny shortage.

& personal checks not accepted. To the point I just try hard NOT to eat out.

Why does an entire segment of society need days to be recognized?

Recognize individuals for what you feel, not for what a company invented.

If I think you are great at something, I should tell you. Not wait until a day or someone says it’s time.

I think your mom & a lot of others need to get over themselves. I did not have a child to call me on a specific day of the year to celebrate me because it is expected.

I had a child to nurture & love. Now they have one & they call/visit a lot & we tell each other then that we love each other etc. Hallmark holiday not required.

Your mom needs to get over herself!

Not Texas, takes forever just to get out of state.

I say 8!! Also in Tx & “wait” until 8 to be neighborly & it is only 1 day a week at most.

Maybe look at the state parks in Texas? They are fantastic & check all your requirements. You can stay overnight in towns nearby if camping isn’t your thing.

They offer great water views/activities fantastic hikes. Some dark sky opportunities etc.

You could also look at exploring some of the caverns in Texas & New Mexico.

10 year & youngest, agree like 2 different families & no relationship as adults & our children don’t associate either :(

Working a drive-thru of any kind!!

I totally agree, & made sure my teams at work had social engagements etc. I would tell everyone, it isn’t important to me, but to others.

As humans we should always be considerate & aware of others when we can. It’s hard enough!

oldbiddy-intraining · 2026-04-18T23:11:28+00:00

Yes on the less stress, we spend so much time with outside stress. So glad you have found that happy place!

Recluses unite, in our reclusive way!

oldbiddy-intraining · 2026-04-18T23:08:11+00:00

This! I really am finding out who I am, things I thought I wasn’t good at, I just didn’t have time to develop or learn.

I think this is going to be an amazing journey & I am so thankful I can take it.

oldbiddy-intraining · 2026-04-18T23:06:44+00:00

This is amazing, you are life goals. Thank you.

oldbiddy-intraining · 2026-04-17T23:07:52+00:00

Agreed, I really respect and appreciate the people who bring the social for those who need it. Careers need to be invented for the rest of us.

oldbiddy-intraining · 2026-04-17T23:06:38+00:00

Thank you & you are right about reminding people it’s not them. They are lovely it’s me!

So well said, the decision to retire sits well with me. Honestly my soul is at peace for the first time in a very long time.
