    I like it here because the vast majority of people seem to have a good sense of humor. I feel like most people get me and can tell when I’m joking. It’s a nice feeling. Most places online are really hostile these days, but this place is.. nice. Doesn’t even really feel like online, you know?

    Yeah, it feels kind of like a fireside chat, as opposed to a hostile forum.

    We obviously need to try harder.

    Minus the spiked eggnog of course. And somebody throwing up over in the corner of the room.

    I've been thinking about the potentially heavy stories some of you have to tell. It's disheartening, yet somehow inspiring that so many people here come from such tragic stories and end up stronger for them (albeit maybe cynical).

    True, there have really only been hints of deeper storylines here and I don't pry (I figure if y'all want to share, you will), but so many of you have come from pretty terrible relationship situations, familiar horrors or had scary medical complications and conditions.

    In light of another thread: If I were ever to give a *kitten* about anyone anymore, it would probably be about the random faces I see here as many of you are like long-distance friends. Maybe we aren't super close, but I feel closer to and know you slightly better than I know most other people these days, so...

    I’ve been a lurker with the random posts here and there just to kind get a little confidence boost. This community has definitely helped, even just reading all the support that is given and the insight is amazing.

    IIRC I jumped right in, made lots of mistakes. He!! I still do. :neutral:
    But I feel better about being accepted. Or at least tolerated.

    Another hour, another Zoom call and I can't help but wonder when did ending every idea with "Does that make any sense?" become a thing? The last two people had some variation of this.

    Why would you say something if you didn't think it made sense? 🤔

    Mind you, I say random stuff on here - typos, grammar flaws and all - then expect you all to make sense of it...or keep scrolling 🤷🏿‍♀️

    I accept you; not tolerate you. I genuinely enjoy reading your posts when they pop up. :)

    I got a kudos email from my boss, and I'm so tired I actually cried at getting it.

    All done for the night. Trying to catch up in here!

    Yay for being done! And for the kudos. Good job you

    Looking forward to getting my hair done at the salon the 18th just not sure what colour to have 🤔

    I honestly adore the color that's in your picture, maybe add some streaks for extra shine or something?? IDK Last time I went to have anything done to my hair was before my 39 yo was born so WTH do I know. :blush:

    Because I'm taking paracetamol for my injury i don't want to eat much so I've been lying to MFP diary to say I've eaten more calories than I really have. You can't save your log if you are that far under and I'd rather lie than lose my straight run. Guilty.
