    A friend, a long time gym buddy, was struck & killed riding her bike to the gym a couple of weeks ago. She was the bestest & brightest & so awesome

    Yet in all the time I knew her I never pursued cultivating a deeper friendship even though she would have been amenable. And now it’s too late. My very great loss. Why do I keep so many of my friendships on a surface level? Is this a habit I want to continue?

    Sorry to hear this -

    This is beyond traumatic. I am so sorry. I know deep relationships are really the only thing that matters in this life, yet I also do not often pursue them.

    @itchmyTwitch - I’m sorry for your loss. (I don’t know what to say to your post, so I hugged it instead).

    Welcome back. (This place was a ghost town without you)

    Thank you. It’s going to be weird & lonely without her

    My neighbor gave us some vegetables from their garden - they have an awesome little garden - I really need to pick their brain next year and get some of that older generation knowledge- something I regret when I was younger is not soaking up lessons from my grandparents

    I ate a mulberry from a tree on public land on my walk today. Compensation for it being hot as the devil’s back door

    You deserved it. Funny thing. I just discovered a mulberry bush in my yard over the weekend and tried my first berry

    I love when stuff like that happens. I was living in my house almost 2 years before I discovered that there was a stone step pathway leading up to one of the porches that had been sodded over.

    Am I still here? I feel like my posts aren’t bumping. I’ve never been banned or anything so I don’t know why I wouldn’t be showing up

    Today I heard a man mistakenly say "that's a tough nut to swallow" and I can't stop thinking about it

    😂

    Been a minute - welcome backs

    Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the mistake as much as I did.

    Although I suspect the man in question is displeased with my retelling of his freudian slip

    Kids learning to drive. I have two currently. It’s usually not too bad. But I don’t wanna anymore. And to think I have more to help after this.😫

    Why do so many classes for toddlers insist upon parent participation?

    I am a shy introvert, please don't make me 😩

    I'll do it anyways but still

    My ex MIL is a nightmare.
    In the fanciest assisted living in the state and they are on the verge of kicking her out.
    I feel so sorry for my ex, his brother in Houston is a PoS and hasn’t helped at all.
    Brother and SIL only concerned with whether they get money from the sale of the house.
    My ex paid cash for the house, they never helped any over the years why would they get any of the money?!
    It all just sucks so bad!

    I will not put my son through this BS.
    When it’s my time to go, I’ll deal with it so he can remember me the way I was. ❤️
