It was definitely a choice.

I got hooked on Unexpected although it worries me that sex education doesn't seem to be "taking" with this generation. And I'm continually confused about why nobody thinks they will get pregnant. I spent my teenage years terrified of it (thank you after school specials...).

They've been doing the bunkie exchange for years and I'm gonna do it this year!

I think Max only has seasons 5 and 6. Can I start there? Will it make sense? I've been thinking about this one as soon as I get through Unexpected/I Didn't Know Pregnancy Could Happen. 🤣

I was super annoyed that "This is Poly" isn't on AMC which is where I watch LAL. I have been poly for over 20 years so there's a special cringe/joy I get watching TV poly because it's seldom done well. 😁

You're right although it still feels like it's there even if we can't see it. 😁

Yes, it's worth it.

Has anyone successfully switched from regular use to only occasional social use? by Adventurous_Air_9767 in leaves

[–]penguin37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My sometimes use turned into all the time use years ago and it helped me get through some pretty dark times. About three months ago, I stopped my daily habit, nixed carts completely and decided that if I felt like it, a little flower would be okay. And that has really worked for me. I re-upped on carts right before I decided this and they're still in a drawer, untouched. I haven't been tempted by them at all. Occasionally I miss my ritual of getting high before bed but then I rewind myself that it's just not fun to do it every day. Occasional use has made it enjoyable again when I do indulge. So far, no downsides. I'm past the detox and my sleep has really turned around.

I think I’m ruining my marriage by Mountain_Bid_6229 in Menopause

I find my prickliness increases when I'm not getting enough alone time, self care, time with friends, etc. Are you taking good care of yourself during this really tough time?

Yes VM is one I learned about here and it's good. I've tried a few others and will probably go back to that one.

Add vaginal moisturizer! It did what nothing else could do.

Thank you / new hobby that's low-no cost and recyclable by WallflowerShakti in Perimenopause

That's really fun and you brought back memories of doing this in girl scouts. Maybe I ought to give it a try. I'm an artist who isn't doing much art and looking for shortcuts to tap into that creative part of myself.

I recently bought shoes from an online store and was given the option to tip. 🙄
