    This forum is the only one that people actually reply to me in, I may just have to stick around

    Welcome to chit chat -I’ve heard it’s not the same as it was back in the day - but I came in at the end of those days. Some days it’s dead in here - other days it’s pretty funny - waiting for the love letter to your enemy js

    I been here ~3 years, I know some people been here a whole lot lot longer...so can't say for more than that

    ...I think the "good old days" are somewhat of a myth... I think, an interpretation of (your) psyche at that moment maybe a bit?

    we make it what it is here, imo - it's as "fun or boring" as we are, the contributors - people come and go (I love it when people I love come back!)

    I think we all have a good rapport going on here right now

    ...*kitten* me, I suck at spelling - if only you all knowed!!

    everyone seems to know each other really well and all be kind of close, so that is a little intimidating lol

    I've been here like ~3 years...some have been here like 10+ - so ya, they know each other even if its a new username

    ...I still feel like a newbie too, there are references that I don't get...oh well - that's their memories - lets make ours!

    Don't be intimidated, just jump in and be you!

    Well I ran for the first time maybe...ever. I ran a mile (without stopping) and then walked like 15 minutes. Then ran a mile back (with walking for maybe 20 seconds 2 times that time). Which is a huge accomplishment for me. But OOOOMMMMGGGG, my legs hurt and I feel dead. And I’m hoping it wasn’t a mistake.

    That is awesome Mel!!!!!!! 😀

    Gotta start somewhere Mel - stick with it and you’ll improve slowly- I really need to get more cardio in - I’ve slacked off on cardio since the beginning of the year

    That's awesome, Mel. Great job! 😊😁😎

    Thanks guys! 🤗 I’ll be at my regular class in the morning...I’ll know then how I really feel. If I keep moving I feel fine, it’s if I sit for a little bit that I really feel it.

    I only started interacting in June I think. Even just since then it’s crazy to see the “cycles”. Someone comes around, posts like crazy then....gone. Just keep posting, I don’t always get a ton of responses either. It’s usually the same handful and I always appreciate those people so much. And then I remind myself that not everyone has the time or desire to do so. And it’s totally fine. Glad you found an active thread. :)

    I've been here forever and I don't know all the regulars. My shyness & introvertness stops me from interacting with most people so I just hug a lot of posts instead of interacting vocally 😂 you are fitting in effortlessly:)

    Rosedale, Queens.

    When I was growing up we thought of it as it so far east it might as well have been Long Island.

    Such a diverse borough but I still remember New Park pizza in Howard Beach and the tasing incidents in the 106 precinct.

    Isn't this the truth!!?? I've been a member of a few forums, some I lose interest in immediately. One I got kicked out of. Oops. Totally my fault. You can usually tell the 'climate' pretty quickly. The one I've been a member of for over 12 yrs., I feel comfortable and known and accepted, have contributed more than 10K posts, even though I've spoken up to others less than a handful of times. Well, hey.....sometimes when people come across as 'all that', you have to kinda knock 'em down a bit. :/ Especially when they're knocking others around first. :( I hate that. :#

    I've spoken up in a couple of heated threads 'over there' on MFP, probably should just keep my mouth shut and ignore, but for some reason I cannot do that. :/ I hate it when others get attacked because they think or are trying things differently. There ARE nice ways of saying things. And some things people need to learn on their own, experience being a great teacher.

    And then there are some people who LOVE to get others all riled up. :/

    Anyways, I do appreciate and love the chit chat portion of this site, along with the accountability the tracking gives me. If not for those 2 highlights, I'd stay less visible. :)

    It sounds like you're getting yourself involved in matters that you don't necessarily have to get involved with. You're right that some people might be rude and such, but they won't go anywhere with that. You can for sure get involved if you want to though and add some productive discussion if you feel you should. But I believe that conflict will sort itself out, and you needn't get involved. You can relax if you want to. :p

    Lol IOW Butt out and mind my own business?? Yeh, BUT these same posters have rubbed me the wrong way with some of their replies to me so you know. Straw. Camel. Maybe they need to be called out?? :/

    Sure you can call them out, but I'm thinkin in the sense that these people mightn't even be worth your time.

    I came back and was going to edit my reply. :blush: It's probably best I don't speak up and simply flag their post. :(
    Thanks for the friendly wake-up call. :)

    What is/was the hype with overnight oats?

    I'm giving these a try and they are mushy and gross. I need a hearty, mostly solid oatmeal. Not oatmeal soup!

    I've been challenging myself this year to step out of my comfort zone, in an effort to reduce mysocial anxiety. I've been doing great, and I'm honestly proud of myself. This weeks challenge was to have lunch alone. This may not be a big to deal to most people, but I'm anxious just thinking about it.

    Have lunch alone? Or with people... I'm usually more anxious about having lunch with people... Although not as much anymore...
