Why are we doing this in 2019?

My youngest likes motorcycles. When he gets old enough to get one for himself I’m absolutely showing him grisly post-wreck images. Motorcycles are fun, but there is no contest when it comes to motorcycle vs automobile or truck, and it’s really a matter of if, not when, something happens. Getting into a low-impact…

To add a little second-hand first responder knowledge:

How’s everyone’s garden doing? It’s been four years, but look! We finally have a tiny pomegranate on our tree!

Hi Jezzies, I had a lovely gift this week. About 3 weeks ago on twitter Good Reads had a subject called name a book that’s helped you through a difficult time. I tweeted that when I was in the homeless hostel I used to escape to the library to reread all of John Connollys Charlie Parker series. I received a tweet off…

I’m ending my marriage of 6 years. I feel so, so good. And while life isn’t exactly where I’d like it to be, I’m excited for where I’m headed for the first time in a decade.

God. My first snarky thought was Flabletics (We Know Who We Are) - because I hate those commercials even though they sometimes use larger sized models. We also had a class in high school back in the eighties called Slimnastics. I wore a high cut leotard, double-velcro Reeboks and leg warmers!

Hey kitties, how are we? I had a fun week with The Bartender. We watched Bohemian Rhapsody, which was so good, and one night we went to out for cauliflower crust pizza at this restaurant I follow on Twitter, and it was actually two restaurants with the same name which share a parking lot. The one that was an actual…

Wow, SNS is pretty late this week huh? Happy Saturday all...another mixed week here so buckle up:

Divorce: it looks like he’s happy to accept my proposed financial agreement AND return my stuff. Monday is handover day for the stuff (assuming he follows through I’ll be putting the clothes and bed sheets on a boil wash…

That dog’s walker and trainer both suck.

Isn’t it ridiculously sad that as a woman, you have to literally go 2+ hours away AND rent another damn home in order to move up in your career due to being “assertive”? That really chaps my balls, dammit. That being said, congratulations on the new gig and the new place, and here’s hoping for a smooth transition for…

I jumped off a massive cliff into the sea and it was exhilarating and terrifying and i want to do it again forever. 

Interesting about the CBD-THC mix - I’ll ask the vet about that when we’re there. So far any pain seems to be under control with the CBD oil and the joint supplements help a lot, too. I’ll definitely be trying to get his nails shorter - they’re all black, so I can’t see the quick and his new thing is to jerk his paws…

I’m a longtime lurker and infrequent poster, hence firmly in the greys so I don’t know if anyone will see this. But, I feel like it will feel good for me to say.

The absolute worst that happens is you two don’t hit it off and you spend an awkward hour together, then wish each other well with no mention of speaking again.

Hello, my friends, it’s the Weekly Achievement/Do-good Thread! What awesomeness have you gotten up to in these past 2 or 3 weeks? (I’m sorry I’ve been travelling/working these past few weeks) Let us know here so that we can celebrate you!

I’m in the cast! I’m a Phantom, so all those audience participation lines I learned my first go-round in college (pretty much the only thing I learned in college back then) are going to come in handy. And I love our local theater group - they’re super friendly, and I’ve already become an Adopted Aunt to a couple of…

Anyone have some senior dog care tips? My guy is getting up there - 11 - and I’m just trying to make sure I’m doing everything I can for him. He’s at the stage where he needs to be careful he doesn’t overdo it when playing/running but hasn’t quite figured that out mentally yet (if he ever will).

Hey everybody! My cat The Dustbunny just had (I think!) a seizure and I’m still hyperventilating. Sweet Jesus that was frightening! She seems to be okay now if a bit slow moving. This has never happened in my long history of living with cats and wow, just wow. Deep breaths, everyone. And by everyone I mean me.

The night I met my husband. We met through a mutual friend, a group of us hanging out at some gay bar, and I said to him, “I’m not ready to go home. Do you want to get a drink somewhere else?”
