    Mercurochrome, Merthiolate
    both contained enough mercury that they were dangerous yet both were put on all my boo-boos when I was a child.
    I also remember breaking open a thermometer and playing with the mercury on the table.

    I wonder what that exposure has done to me that I don’t realize?
    🤔🤨🥺
    Don't worry about the mercury.

    It's the leaded gasoline that gets us.

    So are good with the paint chips then?

    I like to dunk mine in a little red no. 40

    this made me snort. lol

    trying to figure out how I still have a highly active brain why being incredibly exhausted. Why must I think about making changes in my life and relationship struggles at 8 am? Why can't I just enjoy my coffee and focus on work...

    The sound of my own inner voice annoys the *kitten* out of me sometimes

    my inner voice is a demon, she always has something negative to say lol never just a "hey, you go girl look at you being brave." nope just lots of "you need to do more, this is not enough."

    My more conscious inner voice is pretty nice and calls me sweetheart and tells me I'm doing a good job. I cultivated that voice over years.

    But below that there is near constant chatter and it's noisy af

    Went to eat lunch at the beach earlier and a seagull pooped on my shoulder before a meeting. Good times 😆

    When some church ladies told me how they had a church bus drive around the neighborhood picking up random kids and taking them to VBS. They got real quiet when I asked about parental consent and told them that is kidnapping.

    Seriously??? You had to explain this to them in 2024?? This is a satirical scenario right?

    The article doesn't mention the forums at all so I'm guessing that will stay the same.

    It states members can interact in the community and talks of public and private groups, so there's still that. Maybe it'll bring more interesting people in here 🤔

    Looks like your community profile has to be public to use the new feature/activity feed. 🙄
    Nope!

    So we either let everyone in or no one in 🙄
    Yes, not gonna happen

    Hi y’all, 

Wanted to first acknowledge that saying good bye to any feature is hard, and I too am sad to see the Newsfeed ride off into the sunset. I do feel strongly that social interaction is important for a lot of folks on what can often be a lonely and difficult journey and having friends cheering you on can make a difference. 

    I’ll be transparent that the Newsfeed was one of our oldest features that had many flaws and was no longer sustainable to support. While it was not used by many we understand that it’s a real loss for those who used it.
    While it is not perfect, due to some limitations like no friend or follow features in the Community, our team enabled the Community Activity Feed on profiles within the community as it was an existing feature available from our forum providers. Some of you may even remember seeing it briefly back in 2021 when we updated the Community.
    The community profiles only have two options Public or Private, and the Private option makes the Activity Feed unviewable by others. The next best alternative to utilizing the Activity Feed would be to create a Private Group to invite your friends to and interact with them there.
    I know these options don’t “replace” the Newsfeed by any means, but we hope they help give some members some options to interact with others outside of topic driven discussions.

    This is very disappointing.
    After at least 10yrs of paying for premium, this will end that.
    Why would I open my profile to the world?
    May need to just leave.
    This makes me sad. 😔

    Edit: having a friends list and having the newsfeed was basically the only reason I stayed here so long.

    “Not used by many” is flat out wrong. Most users prefer the newsfeed to the forums, many rarely or never use the forums at all (I being 1 of them). The newsfeed is a safe place that we use to invite only those who WE feel fit into our own little world/friend group. The forum is rife with weirdos, stalkers, trouble makers and drama. You are opening up your users especially the women to more abuse. There have been many times users (men) have posted nude photos, others post hate speech or other inappropriate things ands it’s taken hours for mods to remove it. This is a poor decision.

    It was designed as a weight loss app. I find the change backlash in a way comical (may or may not be the right word). However, I do feel sorry that many of you have invested much more into the app.
