Between this site and another LGBT+ forum I frequent, I think I like this place more because there's a lot more people who have had more life experience, and I love seeing/having that.
Y'all are the best.

That sounds like the time my son and I wanted to cook a chicken for dinner but didn't have a pot or silverware of any kind in our new apartment.

Besame...You could have scrapped the top of the can against cement until you wore down the edges. I saw it on YouTube. :)

My right knee started bothering me Monday and each day it hurts worse and seems weaker. I guess next week I will have to go to the Dr and have it checked out. Lord I hope it isn't anything serious. I'm finally getting ahead financially. Until I started having these stomach issues. I've racked up a lot of medical bills with this and don't need to be out of work with anything like knee surgery or anything like that. So that is what's on my mind.

Way too much right now! Thinking about my spouse’s daughter and how hard this is going to get. My stepson and I are trying to plan ahead because you never know. We have to see if the doctor will even say it’s ok for her to fly, because she is in such poor health, we have to board all three dogs.... Then we have the never ending drama with the grandkids and their addictions. They don’t have custody of their babies, of course, so when my spouse wants to see her great grandkids we have to arrange it with their other grandmothers who have custody. A friend suggested I try going to Al Anon meetings ( not sure how to spell) and I’m going to look more into this. The stress is just too much. The other day when we got the news about her granddaughter my spouse nearly lost it. I had to pick her up off the floor because she fell down crying and screaming. These kids don’t realize how bad their drug/alcohol addictions are tearing the families apart.

OMG what an EXCELLENT opportunity to meet a new neighbor!

On my mind....
 

The thing that's been on my mind all day is the fact that - I spent the entire day yesterday with a friend ( that I haven't known long), and she was constantly looking at her phone !!!
( Facebook, messages, etc., I guess ?). I am getting really tired of everyone doing that these days !!! When I am with someone, I give them my undivided attention, look them in the eyes, hang on every word, and enjoy good conversation !!! ( the way it should be !!:o ). Sure, I love my phone, iPad, etc., but they are for private time !! I treasure actual "personal" interactions with people !

Does anyone out there feel the same way ??!!
:byebye:

Nope im used to it now because people wont change what they do when it comes to phones, etc.

I understand the frustration and pain but an addict wont change until they are truly ready. My suggestion as ive been on both sides, cut off said children till they get help. Go to as many al anon meetings you can and seek therapy. Good luck.

Obviously you are not an introvert. I'd probably stab a few fingers off using Gemme's method first before this thought ever crossed my mind...lol.

I’m with you! Especially when it’s a friend I don’t get to see too often and they pay more attention to their phone than to me. I feel like why did I even bother to get together?

Getting a blood sugar monitor. I’m not diabetic but have times where they say I am pre-diabetic then times they say I’m not. Feeling more health conscious these days and have a desire to improve and keep tabs on what is going on with my body. No major health issues happening and I’d like to keep it that way.

But from what I’ve read those monitors can be pretty off on the numbers so I’m still researching which one is best.

Being drug to good friday church services. Im only going so i can get food afterwards.

Maybe they will have a ham and scalloped potatoes??? I wouldn’t mind some of that.

Idk what will be for dinner. All i know is i really dont want to go to church
