Ugh! My bus to work this morning smells like it’s been used to smuggle rotten garlic and onions.

If this stage in life is not conducive to a relationship, or is pleasant enough without one, then you’re under no obligation to have one, regardless of the opinions of family and friends. I have a lot of regrets over how little time of my younger life I’ve really lived for me.

Otherwise, I think the important thing is to find someone who wants the same as you, no matter what that is. If you’re a “meet in the middle,” compromising person then it’s important that the person you’re with also has those qualities, or you’ll find you’re always the one having to be flexible, and may end up feeling taken advantage of. If you’re an individualist who wants to have a lot of independence and “room to move” within a relationship, and can’t bear the thought of “living in someone else’s pockets” then it’s vital to live true to that while that’s how your life is. A couple of friends of mine are very career forward people, spend a lot of time separate from each other due to the demands of their careers, but undeniably love and respect each other and aren’t clingy. It’s perfect for them. How do you know how it’s going to be with someone? You don’t always, or you think you know people but then they change, or you find out things you didn’t know. The arrival of children can complicate things that before seemed much simpler and more straightforward.

Waiter: “Enjoy your meal!”

Me: “You too!”

Ah, the phone did it/jk. In recent years someone bought a firemen calendar for the boss as a secret Santa/joke gift, and I swear some people checked the calendar multiple times a day but could give no answer when asked the date lol.

I too am grateful for firemen, but perhaps not for the same reasons as you 😉

Mr P has finished remaking his bed out of bits of the broken/destroyed bed plus other timbers, and there was much swearing and insults while trying to get it into the house. Hey, don’t get shitty at me, I’m not the one who constructed a thing too big to fit through the damn door! We ended up putting it through the living room window and it just fit through. He hasn’t done too bad a job, but I’m not praising it on principle because he shouldn’t have smashed it up to start with.

Edit: ok I probably will praise it a little bit. While I’m still a bit miffed that he broke the bed in the first place, it is actually pretty impressive to be able to make yourself a bed.

I’m grateful for the roof over my family’s heads and for generally being a calm person. Elder said the other day that he misses me being around during the day “because you’ve got this aura of calm around you.” 🥹This is one of the nicest things he’s ever said to me, to anyone.

Happy birthday 🎈🎂 hope your dad’s ok 🙏

35/50 for me this time.

I heartily endorse your NOMination.

A friend of mine passed away less than 2 months ago, and now her son has messed up big time (no sympathy, he really screwed up in a stupid unnecessary way) and is going to jail, I’d say for a long time. His boys lost their beloved Nan and now their Dad in less than 2 months and I’m pissed off about it. Also, the oldest of the boys is friends with my boy but I don’t know the mum, so they probably won’t see each other anymore. The kids are nice kids, but their little world has changed so much in such a short time, and I really feel for them.

I’m grateful for the roof over my family’s heads and for kids that enjoy spending time together. I’m actually rather grateful we’re not doing much this weekend as I need the rest. I’ll be watching the wrestling tomorrow with the kids and that’s about it. Physically I’m knackered, it’s been a tough week.

Agree 100%. With the major fast food places near me, it’s a source of genuine amazement when an order is filled correctly.

That was nicely said. I’m grateful for the roof over my family’s heads, a split system that’s in good working order and for it being Friday! Sooo tired!

I would definitely lose weight… by abstinence. I just can’t do organs.

As an overweight person, the overcoat I have looks a lot smarter and more flattering than my puffer, which when zipped up is cosy as but makes me look like a liquid paper pen.

Grateful for a roof over my and my family’s heads. If you ask this question every day, I will give this answer every day, because I was homeless for a time as a teenager and have never forgotten.

Lol, wouldn’t be the first time I heard yowling on the tram

Lol must be the diaper he reportedly wears

Morning all! Just woke up from a crazy dream where myself and four other unknown (to me) people were on the run in the States, which at one point involved stealing a heavily modded Chevy Wrangler from Donald Trump (he cried. He loved that car. Lots of people, the best people, said it was a great car). It was a comedy/drama kind of dream, very entertaining, and I did not want to wake up. Stupid bladder! In the dream we made a toilet pitstop and while I went I suddenly thought, "HEY, YOU’RE NOT DOING THAT IN REAL LIFE ARE YOU‽” and I suddenly awoke and I was! I haven’t wet the bed in 40 years! I didn’t wet the bed much, luckily, just my multilayered night attire. Very weird experience and a helluva way to end the dream I was enjoying.
