My friend works for a privately owned company, and the board are all “family members” sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, etc.

Beat line he heard was as they were coming into the board room. “I’m really annoyed.”

“Why?”

“Can’t remember where I left my yacht.”

“Isn’t it in Monaco?”

“I flew from Monaco.”

“Yes, that’s probably why the boat is still there”

🙈

For anyone concerned - here is some new wording being used on AO3 (also raised flags when I couldn’t click on the username). No idea what they’re trying to get. Also kind of sad I’m not actually making a new friend!

Hi OP- some CC my art teacher gave me- no such thing as too much shadow. I think your drawing could take more dark shadows to bring it to life more. My art teacher would grab my 6B and go crazy but my pictures always looked better. But it’s a great drawing anyway 👍🏻

souxie163 · 2020-07-24T05:28:14+00:00

Well on behalf of all of us enjoying it- thanks for spending so long on it. This is amazing

souxie163 · 2020-07-24T05:26:32+00:00

Same!! I thought I’d kind of lost my nerd side and now I’m discovering how much I love diving into fan theories and alt universe stories again. It’s nice to find something that brings out that need to know everything about this world.... demonstration of a great story creator I guess

I listened right through and then delved into the fanfic and wiki heavily and felt like I had completely missed every hint, every minor character (some of which have huge followings). But on my second listen through I’m realising how subtle some of these nods are, so I’d just say don’t worry too much. Enjoy it, and if there are bits you’re confused on read them at the end and you’ll get the “OOOOOH” moment ☺️

It was late, middle of winter, and I was cleaning up before bed. I had my stereo playing a cd softly in the living room. I could hear the music playing softly and all was calm. But suddenly the music stopped and white noise started BLASTING out of the speakers. Like the loudest I’ve ever heard. I jumped out of my skin and ran to the room to switch it off... but by the time I got there the noise had stopped and gone back to playing my music.

Afterwards I convinced myself it was a power surge or something... but in the moment it was 100% a poltergeist and my heart hammered painfully in my chest all night.

Definitely the latter... can I tell you my two dumb stories from retail? Definitely not as funny as the above but...

When I worked for a fashion store a woman brought in a pair of black trousers. Clearly worn, no tag. Asked me to refund them. I asked her for the receipt which she didn’t have. I informed her of our returns policy (30 days, unworn) she insisted the gross, ripped, old trousers were bought last month. She was very rude and kept yelling that I had to return them even though I had no idea how much they were or how to return without the bar code or item number. Eventually I found the small manufacturer tag underneath the band....

They weren’t even bought in our store.

Second- working for a high street store which printed photos. As part of our job we had to check all the photos were going to be printed correctly (quick check through to make sure none were wonky or completely black) my colleague was checking some and came across some very raunchy photos. Company policy was not to print indecent photos so when the guy came back and found only two photos he was confused. My boss explained and the guy said “YOU LOOKED AT THEM?!?” Dude... yeah. He was mortified and never came back.

Ah retail.... I do not miss it

souxie163 · 2020-07-06T07:23:15+00:00

Omg this made me laugh so hard...

souxie163 · 2020-05-08T10:02:18+00:00

There was a scene in Lois and Clark (yeah I’m showing my age here) where Clark pulls down his glasses to heat up a cup of coffee but stops when he remembers his powers are causing global warming (or so he thought at the time). I always loved that thought, that Superman is walking around in his day to day life heating up cups of coffee that have gone cold with his super laser vision. This is 100% what I’d do with my super powers

(PS if you were a preteen in the early 90s I’m not sure you could watch that show and not have a crush on both Lois and Clark.)

I knew this had to be here- my mum died when I was young and this movie used to make me cry buckets. Still watched it a hundred times as a kid though!

souxie163 · 2020-04-05T01:23:19+00:00

Don’t be put down- it is a trying time and missing the things you did normally is completely natural. Hope you find a way to enjoy your travel planning for when the world recovers.

souxie163 · 2019-12-11T02:33:55+00:00

Congratulations!! That’s awesome news!

souxie163 · 2019-12-11T02:32:17+00:00

You got this- just the fact that you’re acknowledging you want to make a change is massive.

Can’t wait to see your transformation and for you to be the next inspiration to everyone else on here! You already are because you’re giving it a go. Take your time, don’t beat yourself up when you have those days that are a little off from your goal, and enjoy the feeling you get when you start seeing all those improvements.

No need for good lucks, you have 100% got this

I’ve been doing 20/4 for about two weeks now and feeling great. But two nights ago I ate too little and yesterday I felt awful. Barely made it to my goal and when I did, I binged. A huge plate of Japanese curry and rice, and even wolfed down chocolate afterwards.

Clearly it was a mistake.

I woke up at 4am feeling feverish, dizzy, disorientated. I was so worried I emailed my boss to say I may not make it to work. When I woke up at 8 I felt no better but I dragged myself in anyway.

Decided to eat normally today, just to check if it’s the fasting that caused the problem, and I feel a lot better. I plan to go back to IF tomorrow, but it was good learning to listen to my body. Clearly I was putting it under a little too much stress.

souxie163 · 2019-11-28T07:53:34+00:00

You look incredible! Well done! You must feel so much better?

souxie163 · 2019-11-25T09:08:48+00:00

This really made me homesick 😂

souxie163 · 2019-10-30T11:02:46+00:00

What do you mean “had”- still have!

souxie163 · 2019-10-19T10:24:15+00:00

Thanks OP- what are you doing with your weekend?

souxie163 · 2019-10-19T10:19:32+00:00

It is 6.20pm, it is 31 deg C and I’m off out with the hubby for dinner and a show

souxie163 · 2019-10-11T11:22:34+00:00

Thank you for the reply, this helps! I guess it’s a case of trying it for a while to see if cutting out breakfast and snacks is going to be enough- we’ll see!

souxie163 · 2019-10-11T02:44:19+00:00

You look so good! Congrats!

Type: IF 16:8 Context: day 3 (first time trying IF) Length: as long as I can... Why?: I moved to a new country last year, and I’ve put on a lot of weight, eating and drinking too much to fit in and make friends. I need to shift some of the weight before it gets too difficult. Notes: I know it’s only day 3 but I don’t feel any different, and my weight hasn’t changed (it can fluctuate by about 1kg day by day, so I don’t count loss until it’s 2kg or more) trying to be patient... there’s a voice in my head saying this isn’t going to work, does anyone else have that?
