    Sometimes I do self sabotaging things when other people piss me off. I’m only recently becoming consciously aware of this so hopefully it will be less of a problem in the future

    My family has been in the military every generation since at least the Civil War (we think earlier than that), and my son is now in Army basic training to keep the tradition alive.

    This is amazing! 🥰
    Thank you to your family of brave, patriotic soldiers!

    I’m so old I learned to type on a manual typewriter and I learned double entry bookkeeping by hand in a workbook

    I still have ours. 😊
    (I noticed there is no typewriter emoji 😂)

    If you squint the fax machine looks a little like a typewriter

    Apparently I need competition and peer pressure to stay motivated when it comes to working out and staying on track.

    I've learned I kinda like cleaning my house. It takes far too long but I kind of enjoy the satisfaction of seeing it to from blah to sparkling. When I start working I'll hire a housekeeper but I hate how they always miss stuff you notice isn't super clean so maybe I should just keep doing it myself

    I am a not a fan, at all, of all the Hallmark holidays.
    Why not treat everyone nice every day then we wouldn’t feel obliged to buy gifts for those we’ve taken for granted.

    Although I don’t consider myself a pessimist, I have learned not to count my chickens before they hatch.
    Doing so just leads to heartache and trouble.

    After a sudden death in the family a while ago I feel a nagging worry about how death sneaks up on you.. you don't know where you don't know when. One minute you are here the next not.. I think about when will my time be. 😔

    I used to think about this a great deal. Also, after a sudden death in the family.

    I've eventually come to think that it's OK. I have a suspicion that we'll all eventually become conscious again as someone else...but the end of a personal story is still bittersweet. Hopefully, like the end of a good book.

    🤗 I like that thought.. "Hopefully, like the end of a good book"

    I had a charmed life mostly.. I chased all the material things and got them, houses, boats, cars etc. Then over time my ex and I got into caravanning, travelled everywhere and I realised I didn't want to go home to the fabulous house and all my things. I loved the simplicity of that kind of life. It was a real wake up for me that all the things I'd amassed meant nothing. Ive since simplified my life , got rid of a lot of material things. Its not the things in your life but the people that give it meaning.. a lesson I've learned.

    Can I have your stuff?!

    Born, raised and live in the Bronx NY. I love baseball and hockey. I'm a cat guy!!! I'm an Italian boy who can't stand Italian food because I've eaten it so much growing up. I also wont eat certain foods because I dislike their names. That's all you get

    I can sympathize. I grew up in Idaho, potato capital of America, so ate potatoes of some form or another 3-4 times every week all growing up. After I graduated high school and left for college, I refused to eat a potato for YEARS. Wasn't until I got married to a woman who still enjoyed potatoes that I started reintroducing them to my diet, and only now decades after I left home am I starting to enjoy potatoes again.
