by Daphne du Maurier.
I was 12 in 6th grade.
No wonder I grew up with a ridiculously romantic idea of masculinity and love. 🙄
I loved that book. I had no idea what it was about when I began reading it. I didn’t know what a Gothic novel was or anything so the whole thing took me by surprise1 -
When I was very young, I never spoke at first, not even just trying out words. My mother worried I was developmentally delayed, until one day I spoke an entire sentence (three words, but still). Guess I just didn't want to speak until I had something to say.3

When I was in grade school (except grade 1,2 in Spain, Greece)we lived on a small creek.
I spent almost all my outdoor fun down in the creek.
My friends and I would dam it up to make a pool.
We’d catch crawdads, see who could find the biggest one.
Built forts, so many forts!
That was so much fun.
Later on when I was older, that’s where I’d sneak a cigarette.
After it was paved, I drove my car down into it, drove for miles. 🤯
I’m so thankful that creek was there.
😂
I was crazy4 -
I have very little in common with those i associate with now.....i have nothing in common with those I associated with in my past. And i dont think this is a bad thing4

This will probably sound petty but for me, after almost 40yrs I found it very empowering.
My ex husband raised his voice and started talking to me in way I didn’t like. (Phone call)
I raised my voice and shut him down instantly. 😡🤐
I’m pretty sure he was considering the different outcomes if he just continued and realized I now have the upper hand in our relationship and I will not take his B.S.
When we were married, we’d have butted heads and fought.1 -
My best friend is a guy I barely knew in high school, while all my old high school buddies have been left in my past, haven't contacted any of them in 20+ years.2

I have 2 dishwashers in my kitchen. I thought when i built the kitchen it may be cool and convenient.....but it has been totally unnecessary and kind of foolish thing to do. But, should i ever see myself having large social gatherings ill be ready for lots of dirty dishes. ......3

I am envious you have two! Thanksgiving and Christmas meal making inevitably make more than one dishwasher full of dishes! I hate doing them by hand anymore.0 -
If I was married and my husband had a MFP account with a bunch of ladies as friends and they all flirted back and forth, he would need to rethink how much he wanted to be married to me.
If I’m not enough then we shouldn’t be married.
If I was married, I would not visit the community forums or flirt with the handsome men on the sight.
I don’t mean to sound like I have a stick up my *kitten* but that’s the way I feel.2 -

This is great.. especially when we have the big mfp get together at your place 😃1 -
Would it be hard for you to give up the interaction?

I’m so old I learned to type on a manual typewriter and I learned double entry bookkeeping by hand in a workbook1

You mean if I remarried?
Yes, it would be hard to quit.
Since the ex and I separated 11yrs ago, MFP has been my social life.
I would feel compelled to quit though.

No way on god’s green earth i would remarry.

I like to keep to myself here and I'm a huge believer in - you receive what you allow- that's why I stopped having interactions on mfp long time ago. There's nothing here I want aside from a big *kitten* and a flat stomach and the occasional chit chat in the forums to cure boredom.5

I still double space after a period.1 -
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 future2

It took me 5 yrs to get through high school. As far as i know i was the first person in my family to ever graduate from high school, even if it took me a little longer.5

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.6

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.

Apparently I need competition and peer pressure to stay motivated when it comes to working out and staying on track.2

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 myself2

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.0 -

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.3
