And this is why I don’t belong on your list. But thank you. People like you are a good reminder to me that everything we do will impact another person in one way or another and I can’t keep indulging in the false notion that the internet is a vacuum. It has not escaped me that i tend to gloss over the more serious posts, which is terrible because i do think about those people/posts a lot. A good example is @Miss_Chievous_ posts lately regarding her health. Pretty sure I haven’t responded to even one of them even though i think of her often. I’m always so afraid of saying the wrong thing 😣. So I’m glad you included me in your list despite my being a generally distant and difficult-to-get-to-know person.
Side note: Why is it that when we don’t really know what to say, we end up using way more words than if we DID know what to say? 🤦🏼♀️
Well said. I'm rarely serious here and avoid a lot of the serious discussions. I try to keep in mind that you never know what people are going through, so be kind. I'm not great at it, work in progress.2 -

This place has certainty helped me put my mind somewhere else at times when I really needed it. Especially in the last year. There are some days where I don't feel like talking to anyone, I don't answer phone calls, texts, I don't want to leave my house... just because I am such at a low point and I don't want to bother anyone with anything because everyone has their own problems. But then I come here... I may not interact with people much but some of you has been able to put a smile on my face when I felt like I wasn't able to smile. I haven't been feeling good at all in the last 3 days and I've been at the hospital since yesterday but I'm feeling better today ❤... I'm having a hard time dealing with it along with my anxiety that's messing up with my mind because I'm scheduled to start my treatments Monday and it is making me wonder if I'll be able to keep my positive attitude. You are all special in your own way and sometimes it's the simplest things that some of you say that makes a difference. I'm happy I have this place to come to when I feel alone or simply need to smile.10 -

I do that too 😂 I suck at things like that or hiding things... I've ruined Christmas a few times by telling my kids their gifts before Christmas because I was just too excited 😐😂2 -

I find it so irritating when I get a nice fr, I add the person and it becomes obvious fairly quickly that he only wants to “chat”.
Also, I’ve noticed it’s generally always guys of a certain age group
(much younger than me) and they are so persistent.2 -

“I keep indulging in the false notion that the internet is a vacuum.”
Unfortunately many people do without realizing the cause and effect. I’m definitely not the perfect example at times, but I continuously try to be aware at how I can affect others by my actions and/or words because I know first hand what it feels like to be on the receiving end.5 -

I just got home, I owed my ex husband a favor and he called it in.
Spent a couple hours helping him clean his garage.
I should have taken a before pic,
it was a pit!
I’m thinking he and I are all square now.

My husband is funny. He's always doing air guitar when listening to music.
Which in itself is ok.
Except my husband played drums in HS.2 -
