    Even when face to face at the same dinner table, my kids' noses would never leave their phone screens if my wife and I didn't have the rule of no electronics at the table during family meal time. I know this because at other meals (say Sunday lunch), they sit there with phone in one hand, fork in the other, laughing in their own little world with barely a nod in acknowledgement of anybody else at the same table.

    Sounds like your kids need a boot in the *kitten*.

    But that's just me.

    I am currently learning Korean (how to read/write/speak). My hope is to be able to at least navigate/ask for directions/hold small conversations with people.

    I studied three different martial arts in my early 20's (karate, tae kwon do, and aikido), but it's been 20 years since I practiced any of them, and likely remember only enough to hurt myself rather than the other guy. Especially considering how much more flexible I was back then...

    I'm a member of a long-running online fantasy football league, played with the same guys since 2004. But while I know all their screen names by heart, I've never met any of them (spread literally across the globe), and think I know only two of their real names.

    I want to revamp my online persona. I want to be the super bubbly and positive person that uses lots of exclamation points because deep down that is who I really am.

    Wait, no. One exclamatory sentence is okay as long as it is bookended by sentences with periods. A double exclamation point should only be used to reinforce a previously rejected compliment. And more than three exclamation points in a row (!!!) singularly indicates insanity. Anything more than three is.. well only russian bots do it so

    One definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results. However, this legitimately happens almost every day at my work. So I guess that means anytime I talk about my job, I should finish each sentence with !!!! (x4)

    I have always had more male friends
    (just friends) than female.
    It wasn’t for lack of trying.

    I can quote you the name, team, position, and relevant stats of 90% of NFL players (hundreds of players)...yet I often have difficulty remembering the names of coworkers. I know all their faces (well, in this day of mask wearing, their eyes), and the names of the ones I work most closely with, but the casual office people...eh...

    I like my peanut butter in the fridge
    I've never farted in the gym
    That meatball sub looks deelish
    Pickles are good, but Wickles are amazing
    Hugs are nice...but never hug me when I'm about to cry bc I'll be ugly crying all over your shoulder
    I actually have four eyes bc I'm down with OCD
    I've never purchased underwear from the grocery store
    My toothbrush has batteries
    M&M' are just meh
    That's not what she said
    Good night

    The only thing better than a third eye is a fourth


    Also what’s a wickle

    If you stir the oil into the peanut butter and then refrigerate it, the cold prevents further separation.

    I’ve let one slip here & there. What’s worse is leaking a blood blurb around your tampon with 130 pounds on your back.

    What’s a wickle?

    6 pack of hanes for her.

    My toothbrush buzzes too.

    Coffee M&Ms

    She doesn’t say half of what they say she said.

    Don’t let the bedbugs bite.

    I sometimes let my paranoia creep in to the effect of wondering if some of the sarcastic mfp posts are about me. :(

    Also, I only wash my hair when I know positively that I'm going somewhere. It depresses me to see all the hair that's falling out, due to my genes and getting older. :(

    Have you tried essential oils for hair growth? I like lavender or even olive oil leave it in for an hour or so before washing. Also, I use collagen peptides in my coffee everyday day, one scoop. Just the other day my friend who has known me for years and knows that my hair won't grow told me that it looks longer!🙌 I had not seen her in a while so, it was nice to finally hear that my efforts are paying off.
    If you're interested I'm using this one right now.👇 It's lasted about 2 months and I've also used the Sports Research brand. It's more expensive and I didn't notice anything better or different between them.🤗

    No, but thanks for the recommendation. :) I have an appointment to see my PCP end of this month and am making a list of long-need-to-ask questions.
    I'm not sure if Collagen would help with old age hair fallout; that's hair that'll never be a follicle again. :(
    Haha, if I could get hair transplants from chin to head. :s Now *that's* more info than anybody needed to know.

    In my old age I have finally come to realize that assumptions can cause a lot of problems when communicating with people.

    When I type something, I mean the words I type.
    There’s nothing between the lines,
    just the words I type.

    Some people want to argue over things I never even said.
    I have little patience for that kind of thing in my life.

    My first six years after college I worked rotating shift, bad hours but always doing something useful. Got switched to a desk job for a couple years hammering out emails and powerpoint presentations, despised it.

    Switched jobs to one where I was again doing rotating shift work, loved it...for a while. About the time I hit my early 40's I began longing for a job where I could sleep nights, so when I recently got switched to another desk job pushing paper my initial reaction was grumpiness about the nature of the work, but ultimately the fact I now have dinner every night with my family and sleep nights has won me over.
