    One of our regular members always calls me ‘sweetie’. Makes me smile every time, and I just helped him a little bit ago. :)

    Making my girlfriend, who has been feeling down lately, feel better.

    How did you make her feel better?

    We just went to dinner and talked about all the important stuff.
    She's really close with her mom, is generally a very empathic person, and her mom was just diagnosed with cancer. She and I are both triggered by our space being messy so tomorrow I'm going over to help her clean.

    Her guy is out of town through next week so I might kidnap her for a night or two, too, since she's having trouble sleeping. She just called and woke me up. Crying. Thought she'd get my voicemail. She never lets her walls down. Everyone thinks she's teflon.

    That's good. I have a travelling spouse and it sucks...gets real hard. I'm sorry about her mom. Good job being there for your friend. It'll get real bad, and she'll lose. Not easy to deal with. That's when you need your friends the most. Cheers.

    I appreciate the empathy, feedback, and sharing. Thank you. She has a complicated family situation and she’s very guarded. I’ll keep reaching out.

    We replaced the sliding glass doors on our house last year. I guess I should have realized, but the new, fancy, energy efficient windows suck for getting plants started. But, 4 weeks of playing around and I figured out a system that works! Found some seedlings poking out this morning :)

    My cat sitting on my cutting board. Until I realized he was putting his *kitten* directly where I cut my apples. I have retired that cutting board and am now not smiling. At the time, though, he was cute.

    The children don’t like when I have Alexa blast the theme song to “greatest American hero” while I wear a Batman cape and pretend I can’t fly around the kitchen. Good times.

    This made me smile cuz I love the song & the show. Bonus points for the cape & fake flying :smiley:

    I have been slapped with the truth today and it was probably the best thing ever.

    I'm sat at the local Grosvenor casino running the Support Desk on laptops, along with my 25 colleagues, as our internet has gone down in our office - the casino staff just bought us some dinner, it's been a pretty awesome day so far

    Apparently my dad likes owls as much as I do(weird thing to have in common and not know about) and his girlfriend brought him to an owl sanctuary today for his birthdayqx4d3apaftps.jpg
