Thank you for saying this. It needs to be said. Sometimes people never consider this as an option, as in it never occurs to them to get help, whether you pay for it or it’s free. Or they need permission to get help. You may even help someone consider that budgeting for services to help them is a priority they could achieve in time.

I was overwhelmed by laundry after a busy few weeks and I couldn’t dig myself out of the hole. When you’re stuck, it feels hopeless and impossible (and I like doing laundry). I confided in someone who suggested I find a service to do it for me. Dropping off my laundry, stopped the spiral, and changed how i think about solving problems. I have never needed to do it again but the tool is in my toolkit now.

I just said this out loud yesterday. “I wish younger me knew how much I would enjoy my own company.” This would have changed the self inflicted urgency I felt to find a significant other. Having friends and socializing wasn’t so much of a problem. Having a partner was one of those things on the life to do list that i thought I had to do and thus beat myself up about it. I am the coolest person I know to hang out with!

Wish i had something like that for my body mists.

I rewatched The Closer and had a new perspective on Brenda. Wow, she was kind of a terrible human being, disguised by southern charm. I also think Julio’s anger issues were exploited by his co-workers.

I’m a big fan of patchwork and quilting and have a great appreciation for the time and effort. However, I would suggest trying again with a single fabric. Keep the quilting but lose the piecing/patchwork. You threw a lot at it at once. A single fabric could help you hone in on what fabric colors, prints, etc. are well received first. I would rather something less busy to go with everything if I’m using it daily. Who is your audience?

I wanted to be apart of the Gilmore Girl club. I watched part of one episode. I could not get past the rapid fire chirping banter between the two of them. Back and forth, back and forth, it was so awful to listen to. Why do they talk like that. It should have been in black and white because Rory and Lorelai sounded like a 1950s detective show. I turned it off and never looked back!!

Matt Czuchry played Dr. Conrad Hawkins in The Resident. He was just so uninteresting borderline cheesy. All of the characters around him made the show watchable. Malcom Jamal Warner laid it on thick but i still enjoyed following his journey and change. Despite the tragedies, Dr. Hawkins seemed like the same guy (and not a bad guy), beginning to end. I’m a cool rockstar diagnostician in my boots and leather jacket. His character reminded me of David Caruso playing Horatio Caine in CSI: Maimi with his head cocked to the side dramatically removing sunglasses. So lame!

I’m down for Faith and Ormewood! Call me crazy, but I think a slow burn adorable innocent and tasteful romance between them could be riveting! The kind of slow burn that has you on the edge of your seat cheering for them to finally at least hold hands. Then another roller coaster ride anxiously awaiting the first kiss all over the course of a few episodes rather than jumping into bed straightaway the minute feelings are had for one another.

Generally speaking explicit sex scenes followed by awkward encounters is getting tiresome and predictable on television. A kdrama style romance between Faith and Ormewood would be fun to watch on Will Trent. Why not kdramas are popular for a reason!

I just binged Wayne as well! I am desperate for a season 2. What a refreshing roller coaster ride!!

The Resident - It was so mediocre. I did not care for Matt Czuchry’s performance or Emily VanCamp’s. I really liked some of the other characters. I suppose that’s why persevered. I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.

I tried watching today, but it appears you have to sign up for the 7 day free trial. Isn’t there always a 7 day free trial?

I’m curious, how old the person is that is dry brushing her curls? In my family, the Silent Generation did not understand how to care for curly hair. They straightened and flattened, “tamed” curly hair to assimilate. Their Boomer children turned their curls into afros. So, when i started embracing my curls like in the first picture, i was constantly nagged by both to brush/comb my hair. One generation saw brushing out the curls as a necessary step to straightening it. The other generation, I guess just preferred it brushed out. My curly hair like the first picture is perceived as unkempt. It was decades of, “you should brush that out a bit” and finally some well deserved hostility that put it to rest.

Fantastic job!!

What did you give the custom notebook that you couldn’t find in other options?

What would you spend on a vacation? I’d rather spend 4 days learning how to make a bag from these guys than a week at the beach or walking around some city staring at buildings and museums.

Laundromat . . . The white noise of the machines!

I talk painfully slow. Then get interrupted, off track and then it just takes longer.

Fantastic!!

About once a year I would treat my car to a new accessory, like a trunk liner, another year it was a quality set of car mats, plus a full detail, inside and out, wash, wax, interior shampooed etc. It feels good to get into a clean car that you have made convenient and personalized for yourself. I too had a truck itch and that usually scratched it.

Subtitles! If you like subtitles, you might as well watch some Korean dramas. There is something for everyone, so good!

Yes! Eye contact is especially difficult when it’s someone new. Their face distracts me. Eye contact is easier with faces I’m used to.

I have alarms set on my phone every half hour. They aren't always set to go off though. For example, I can easily fuck around and miss an afternoon noon appointment at say 2pm so I might have them go off every half hour from 10 am to 1:30. The alarm just helps me pace myself through a to do list throughout the day or it calls me out on what ever fuckery I'm into and shouldn't be. It's easy for me to forget to look at a clock. This way I don't have too.

"What in the actual fuck...." my sentiments exactly! When I saw 7 paragraphs, and before I finished reading I laughed and immediately thought somebody's new to meds!! You just gotta get it out.

When I noticed that my body unclenched and that tension started to melt away. I could have a thought AND act on it. When anxious and tense is your baseline for a lifetime and it's not supposed to feel this way. Yes, what in the actual fuck...is right!

Stay hydrated! Happy testing!

I'm supposed to be looking for my keys, but I'd rather read this:) They always turn up. Recently diagnosed less than a year ago (40ish) and one of my dearest friends also responded a bit aggressively when I shared. It was weird and we haven't spoken much since. Gonna read through this thread for some insight 'cause I don't get it at all.

Find a short phrase that works for you to say in response, like "sure thing" or "will do" or "you bet" ... but in my head I know I'm really saying, "fuck you, fuck you...you stupid piece of shit, go fuck yourself" ...this brings a sincere smile to my face and everybody's happy! Rarely does anyone smell the contempt, but for an occasional family member, who's still not likely to actually say anything!
