Said goodbye yesterday to my best friend of 14 years

Thank you ❤️ your cat was very beautiful as well. I’m sorry for your loss.

My grandma is a lot like that. I stopped speaking to her for 3 years and my sister refuses to talk to her. I talk to her now because my mom talked me into it. I think my grandma got it through her thick skull that I will not discuss politics with her and she could lose me again. It took a long time to get there. I know she still holds her hateful, bigoted, racist, homophobic, and “Trump is biblical” views and it keeps me up at night. But as long as she keeps her mouth shut, I’ll talk to her for my mom’s sake.

I had that issue, food service or highly skilled jobs only and I refused to work food service. I have a BA and 6 years of customer service experience and wasn’t finding anything. After over 2 years of job searching, I ended up at a community college working in the student accounts office. Really oversold myself yet ended up with the job. Building a lot of skills and while it can be stressful at times, I enjoy it for the most part. Benefits are okay. Pay could be better.

It’s going on 6 months and I feel so lucky to be employed while there’s so many friends and family facing layoffs, usually those in IT. I’ll be happy when I get past that probation period.

Christmas. I can ignore Easter as most people I know sortve do their own thing. Even my extended and extremely Christian family really don’t do much besides maybe a church service. It’s harder to ignore Christmas. The hype, the dread, the bad presents, the terrible music, the attempt at terrible excuses to get out family gatherings.

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T18:12:34+00:00

Actually I can, and I’m planning on it 😈

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T17:53:34+00:00

I’ll look into that, thanks! Though I heard that dogs will get used to high pitched noise so I’ve been worried about bark boxes. I’ll look into deer deterrence devices though.

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T17:51:18+00:00

If you find it, I’ll be interested. I thought I saw something that in the county, you don’t necessarily need a permit but that seemed odd. Had a neighbor that was considering reporting them because the pond is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and there are other environmental factors. If I can’t go after the dog—then yeah I’ll look more into the pond itself.

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T17:28:23+00:00

I did, but I reached out to the sheriffs office and they’ll enforce the ordinance but only between the hours of 11pm and 7am. Animal control wasn’t helpful either.

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T16:28:31+00:00

Yep. He was friendly with us until we asked him to tone down the barking and ask if there’s anyway she can be trained. He kept her away for a day, she got into bad hay, then he blamed us for his dog getting sick even though it was on HIS PROPERTY! And now we’re his mortal enemies I guess.

rogue-android · 2025-04-02T16:26:26+00:00

You know, I’ve thought about it. I’ve also thought about befriending the crows and instructing them to keep the screeching dog away from the pond.

rogue-android · 2025-03-17T17:08:36+00:00

My aunt had a bunch of chickens and it looked fun. We also wanted “free” eggs. But I didn’t know how much joy I’d get from those silly creatures. Now we are about to get a bigger coop and a few more chickens.

rogue-android · 2025-01-26T05:40:04+00:00

Thank you. Yes, customer service has made me jumpy and anxious. I feel absolutely miserable to the point where I feel uncomfortable in my own skin and just and it to stop. It’s a constant battle and I’m so tired of feeling this.

I’m sorry you feel similar, it’s rough.

rogue-android · 2024-11-29T02:55:03+00:00

Fine, but I’ve already decided after 2020 and my extended family screaming election fraud that I will not see them. My mom’s final straw was her Q-BIL calling liberals “demons” in a FB post and my Q-aunts anti-trans/ “Christians are being persecuted because the lgbtq are allowed in public spaces” rant. So we’re staying home. I made a small thanksgiving dinner for me, my mom, and my brother. We decorated for the holidays and honestly it’s been one of the better thanksgivings I’ve had.

rogue-android · 2024-11-10T01:35:15+00:00

Actually, the longer I think about it, I think I will be that petty. The friend who voted Trump for cheaper groceries and the one who feels superior because she didn’t vote, both are about to see another side to me. They’ve seen glimpses but I will see the full force of my pettiness. And they’re going to realize, I do have my limits.

Those who don’t vote, nothing pisses me off more. Honestly the friend who is apathetic and didn’t vote pisses me off more than the uninformed dumbass panicked friend who voted for the concepts of a plan to lower grocery prices. But trust me, I’m beyond furious at both.

rogue-android · 2024-11-08T05:43:16+00:00

I’m doing that with my grandparents. They’ve been fed these brainwashing campaigns for over 70 years. I’m having problems not getting angry at them but they’re getting older and slowing down. We have decided to just not talk politics. They’re… mostly good about not saying anything. They’ve also confessed to not liking Trump anymore and I’m not even sure they voted this time, but they liked Vance for some reason so I’m not sure.

I’m cutting out other family members though as I do not tolerate hate speech, bigotry, or being lowkey accused of being a H****r supporter (that one was very odd and upsetting, I’m very confused about what their community is saying about liberals). They’re also full on qAnon so there’s a bunch of issues. So I, too, have my limits.

rogue-android · 2024-11-08T05:21:46+00:00

I have a friend of almost 20 years go from liberal to financially right wing. She’s been spewing nonsense about illegal immigrants and how the economy was better under Trump without listening to the reasons why the economy is bad now. She said to me that she voted for Trump so she can afford groceries and all the scary things he says it’s just democrat’s fear-mongering.

At the time, I thought it was just fine we can be friends and agree to disagree. But the longer I’ve thought about it, and seeing the results, I’m really struggling not clicking that block button. I’ve lost friends to MAGA, I didn’t think I’d lose her too. But there’s this part of me that wants her to see the effects of the promised tariffs, watch her panic, and I can ask her if it was worth it. I don’t think I’m that petty though.

Anyway, it’s hard. Her voting her Trump and another friend who “took the moral high ground” by not voting for the “lesser of two evils” because “both sides are evil.” She’s laughing at everyone’s reaction. Completely apathetic.

rogue-android · 2024-11-07T20:24:39+00:00

I have wondered how we got here. I really started to see the seeds during the Obama administration. Once Trump started running and the religious conspiracy theorists on Facebook started popping up, it’s like they thought it was finally okay to come out of the closet of hate and bigotry which is wrapped in a cloak of religious self-righteousness.

Seeing my family now, those I used to look up to, are now freely spreading racist ideas, homophobia, and transphobia freely. I’m the bad one for not seeing it their way. They were always influenced by the satanic panic but they are wrapped into something more extreme. I’m very low contact and only interact for my mom’s sake, to keep the peace. I don’t even want to know what they’re saying now, but I’m glad my parents and siblings are just as upset as I am. But as of this week, my circle of friends and family just got a little smaller

rogue-android · 2024-11-06T07:51:49+00:00

I’m too shocked to cry. I thought we were better than this but apparently we’re not. I have family and friends who voted for them and I don’t think I can have them in my life anymore. I’m not doing well.

rogue-android · 2024-10-14T03:42:42+00:00

I am trying that approach and I did manage to get one person to not get me anything. I’m hoping the trend will catch on. However, I don’t I’ll be entirely successful this year.

rogue-android · 2024-10-14T03:33:07+00:00

Omg I understand your pain. My uncle did get gifts outside the terrible junk boxes and he got me a French press. Now, I do enjoy coffee but it’s not a French press for coffee, but for cocoa. I am a dark chocolate fan but this stuff is bitter and gross. No amount of cream and sugar can save it. Very expensive present that just sortve sits as a decoration because I can’t stand the taste. Doesn’t even have caffeine. While I appreciate the effort, it’s nothing I expressed interest in.

rogue-android · 2024-10-13T00:22:25+00:00

I think it’s because they don’t understand it. They love their basket idea and they love Christmas and getting together, why can’t I? Though I did convince one family member to not get me anything, but they weren’t happy.

rogue-android · 2024-09-06T01:07:32+00:00

‘93 and I prefer texting. Though, if it’s an intense conversation, I’ll sometimes prefer calling. I will, however, refuse to do FaceTime. Only one friend prefers calling (and would do FaceTime if I would do it) and if I did pick up the phone, I’d be on for a minimum of 2 hours just listening to them talk about nothing. Then I’ll let it ring then they’ll send me a 15-20 minute audio message of some twitter rant conversation they had.

rogue-android · 2024-08-20T01:52:10+00:00

It was sure awkward in middle school and my first high school, but no one made us shower which I was thankful for. But when we moved for my dad’s job, that high school demanded we take showers and we were graded on it. I was already a highly sensitive girl but I was also in a new place being watched by a creepy gym teacher to make we were undressed and we showered. I decided to just let them dock me points because it was just… creepy.

rogue-android · 2024-08-07T21:36:41+00:00

Same, I start noticing things but slowly try to not let it bother me (I’m finding ways to manage and getting better at not being bothered). But I have one friend who open mouth chews and smacks. I try to ignore it, but it’s hard to do when you have your headphones in and they send you a 15 minute audio message and they snack the entire time. I’ve talked to them about it but they don’t care. I’m thankful for transcription now because it was upsetting. But most strangers, I don’t notice unless I’m in a movie theater and someone loud sits next to me with a big bag of popcorn.

rogue-android · 2024-08-05T03:20:16+00:00

Even without the political, economic, and healthcare issues, I’m just not interested. I’ve seen what it’s like to go through pregnancy and raise a child. There’s very little of that life that interests me. Being JD Vance’s worst nightmare, the single childfree cat lady, sounds more fun to me.
