A place to call "home" without worry of having to move again.
Nothing fancy, just some security.
Ontheroad · M
@SW-User Security is one thing I've had since I was out and on my own... I simply can't imagine the thought of not feeling secure. It's a basic need, a primal need. How have we not solved this? Anyway, here's hoping your situation gets better.

@SW-User

Yes! Home is so important. Our area is booming with massive apartment developments. Like everywhere I turn there's a 3, 4 or 5 story apartment in construction with hundreds of apartments each. Like villages within a city.

For me that means homes that you can never take for granted.

For my inlaws to not be arriving to stay for a month 😔
@Starsandfire I'm so sorry. I hope the time goes fast, better yet, I hope they decide to stay home or go someplace else. 😂🤗
Starsandfire · 31-35, F
Nope, they’re definitely here! 🥲😂😂@LadyGrace

@Starsandfire Dealing with difficult peopl strategies:

#1 INTROSPECTION:
If they consistently do an irritating [c=BF0000]thing[/c] then;
Mention how old friend “Bob” did that [c=BF0000]thing[/c] and how horrible it was to deal with. [This method works if they admit it's irritating and later actually realiz that they also do that same [c=BF0000]thing[/c] and shouldn't.]

#2 REDIRECTION:
If irritating [c=BF0080]subject[/c] comes up, Immediately Announc ONCE that you do not wish to think about, hear or discuss such [c=BF0080]subject[/c]! When they bring it up again; Then immediately, as if you didn't hear, ask a Neutral but Personal Question of the person who brought up [c=BF0080]subject[/c]. "Priscilla, are those shoes as comfortable as they look?" "Roger, weren't you a football player in your University days?"
OR quietly leave the area without comment or reply.

#3 TOTAL FAKE HONESTY:
After their long awaited arrival and their Very First Derogatory/Disapproving/Condescending/Cutting Comment;
Immediately suggest that you FEEL that You aren't Perfect, being Obviously Very Different than them But You Will Try So Hard for them to Enjoy their Visit !

Always start negative sentences with, "I feel ...", As in, "I feel that you don't like me." "I feel that you totally misunderstood ... " "I feel that you are angry about ... "

Not, "You don't like me." "I think you misunderstood ..." "I know that you are angry about... "

#4 RUN THEM OFF:
Burn, over salt, under season meals, cook odd or disliked foods for them, put a rabid fleabag stray cat (dead or living) in their bedroom, play loud music they hate, turn off the hot water for their bathroom, wash their clothes in Pine Sol, forget to dry their clothing. Watch loud television during all conversations and forget they exist, misplace one of their favorite shoes. Call them by cutesy "happy" nicknames you made up for them, "Bo-Bob" and "Su-su-Susan" or always formally as Mr. Brown & Mrs. Brown even if they insist you didn't!
Go visit your "suddenly sick" Parent(s) and let Inlaws take care of your kids for the month!
Heartlander · 80-89, M
None of the above.

Thanks for giving me a moment to validate my own happiness. I hadn't really thought about it lately.

Thanks!! :)

Good health. I have another infected finger. And its hurting pretty bad.

(This is a picture of the last infected finger from 2 months ago. I just posted this so you have some context as to how bad they can get.)
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@Degbeme I wasn't sure of the spelling. Now its a pain medication. Hopefully stronger then the Panadeine the Doctor put me on.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Thevy29 Being as it`s a finger tip and there is a ton of nerves there, I`m surprised he didn`t.
Azlotto · M
@Thevy29 Shit, man! Soak that in peroxide. I hope you get better soon.

I just feel so good right now, at this very moment.
there's this breeze coming in from the balcony door and the soft, warm light and temperature are just so good, 6.21 in the afternoon of the beginning of September.
I had a great lunch, cooked together with my boyfriend, we made vegetables noodles, one of my favourites.
I have had my inner turmoils of course, trying to decide whether to support my sister or myself which created tension but afterwards I felt some calmness.
Yesterday I supported a friend with her art exhibition and then I made it to my other sister's birthday and I ended up sleeping over. I didn't sleep much as my nephew woke me up by saying "fuck it! fuck it!" while throwing fairytales around the room while their dog was licking my face and then had breakfast with them.
I have sometime alone right now which is lovely.
I just feel I am floating on a perfect lake right now where everything is good and I am listening to something like..

For myself. I wouldn't mind a holiday, haven't had one since Covid hit. Might head to Bali this winter.

What I would really want is russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine back to the internationally recognised borders as at Independence in 1991.

Pay my bills for a month. Having to not worry about the $2,000 rent for once sounds like it would be a life changing experience.

To be held and to feel like it will be okay someday
@SW-User We could do that for each other. I want that, too. (((hug)))
@SW-User oh that would be like heaven. I hope and pray you have that one day and me too.
@Stereoguy in theory I could but not financially. I'll most probably stick it out till the official retirement age of 67, another six and a half years for me.

Actually a new laptop would be right on time. I would never have spent so much money if I had known they have such a short life.
Valerian · 100+, M
I'll take a vacation ... Just a change of place, doesn't need fancy, maybe a pool, maybe something nearby that's different to occupy a day or two; winery, museums, scenic vistas, caves, ocean, historical locals.

I'll come stay at your place, sleep wherever, clean up after myself, buy my own food, cart myself around, feed your pets, babysit your kids (maybe), treat you to a nice meal, leave you alone otherwise.

That's it
It'd have been pleasant a feel to have my beloved parent around. It's always nice to listen to his voice after he wakes up.
