    My parents are starting to admit how much they actually resent me because of my autism and how much they had to do for me growing up. :(

    I heard of a case where a couple adopted a severely disabled child nobody else wanted, apparently for community brownie points, then doused him with gasoline and set him on fire bc they eventually got sick of him. They tried saying that it was an electrical fire, but no dice.

    It seems like there is a subset of people who adopt disabled kids bc they want to be seen as heroes by their friends, then realize they're in too deep. Some will adopt MULTIPLE disabled kids. It's not your fault, it's theirs. That is no consolation, I know.

    I have an irl friend who has started being really mean to me all of a sudden. It came out of nowhere and it’s making me really sad and angry

    Shes trying to establish hierarchical superiority. It's what chickens do.

    I think a clean house is a compliment.

    It's like calling somebody a nerd cause they outdid you on a test. It's silly.

    I would give you advice how to deal with other people, but I think I´m the wrong person for that : PP but I would speak with her directly and just say her that it hurts you and that she please should stop that. and maybe asking if something is wrong, if she is angry because of something.

    Dogs teach us to be clean. Because they can leave hair in a lot of places, so soon you want it nice. But they are so sweet, l could never say no to Enzo.

    Going to Six Flags in the morning for my friend’s birthday. I keep forgetting to post about important stuff because I’m so busy right now

    I'd love to know how you enjoyed that--and how your dogs enjoyed a day at home!

    If the best insult you can come up with for me is that I'm fat, then you have eyes. Congratulations.

    Going to be redoing my living room this coming week. Goodbye clashing interior design and eyesore secondhand furniture. This was needed.

    You're kidding, you have a blue couch? :) I like those two and the chair in the picture. But they also have a big corner couch in the same color that I like, 6 seats, 3 on each side of the corner. It's a nice color, royal blue.

    Just ordered it today! :) Blue is my favorite color!
    Hope you can get yours soon!

    A deep blue color like that limits the color use for the rest of the room I think, not everything matches a deep blue. But blue looks so nice. A royal blue velvet couch, that's the dream :) lol

    It’s nice to be back home and have the security that my doors and windows and my bedroom door lock and double lock and only I can open them.
    Lou Laurinen
    Finally arrived at home. We'll see how sleeping goes tonight. At least I'm back in a familiar environment and can watch tv on my Firestick.
    Lou Laurinen
    Night 3 being scared and traumatized in the woods. I can't do this anymore so I'm going home tomorrow night. Thanks Google :(

    Yes. I figured that out. I went thru some stuff but it sounds not as horrible as yours. Mine is family and stranger stuff. I have a fear of flimsy locks on doors also. I also went thru phrogging. It's going to be on A&E on July 18th 9 or 10 pm. It's when someone is living in your house and you don't know it.

    You and l have a lot in common. Just pure horror in our lives. You are a sister from another mother. Lol
    Lou Laurinen
    Thought I'd be feeling better tonight after all that but I'm still terrified. My triggers subside in broad daylight but nighttime is a nope.

    Thanks everyone <3
    Thanks for checking in Forest Cat, I'm still not ok and I think I've had enough and will be going home tomorrow. Posted more about it in most recent status.

    I stumbled upon a synopsis of the plot of the movie “Midsommar” and I am alone in a dark cabin. I’m terrified.

    My friend also said Hereditary was much worse. But I will never watch either of them.

    I also watched a movie called Sinister. That was surprisingly well made, there are some creepy kids in that movie.

    Hi Luca! You're up and about again then (or were)... Hi Europeans and good morning to you lot.
    Lou Laurinen
    Took forever to get to the hotel. Stopped in Freeport to get pizza and go to the giant LL Bean store. Got here at 10pm. Cabin has wifi tho!

    I’ve been driving for over 4 hours and finally 5 minutes away (I’m stopped at a rest area, not texting while driving)

    yes I make jokes and use irony, but they are meant with good intention and not to "do jokes ABOUT people." my intention is that people maybe laugh about that and think "that´s funny" and it´s just one part of my personality.
    Shaddock
    Shaddock
    and most of the times my jokes are not misunderstood and don´t hurt anyone, but yes sometimes they are/do and when I know that (because for example someone says that) I try to fix that for the future and after some time I know who likes these jokes and who not.

    ah you mean that "haha lol", I thought it was that "several girl friends." I hope now it´s more understandable.
    Lou Laurinen
    I had a great time tonight with my girl friends. They are seriously redneck lol. I get to re-do my childhood socially now I guess.

    Congratuations! You don't need to apologize for being less active here. It's fun to see your thoughts, but ultimately it's your life, and you don't owe us anything.

    Not super happy with the results from the show today. Placed 3rd in owner/handler group. Definitely my fault.

    I think the challenge is to bring every interests together (your and the dogs interests) and to not expect too much from you both.

    I would never ask my dogs to do something they were uncomfortable with, and I make no money at all by showing them.

    Posting 3rd is really great. I am happy for you and your dog!! It seems that you always win. That is accomplishment. There should be several first places!! Judging is subjective also.

    People keep proving again and again to be a (mostly) evil species.

    People tend to be how we think they're going to be. I don't think humans are a (mostly) evil species. Sorry this has been your experience. Some humans make choices that can make them seem that way. They will realise who they are eventually.

    If you always do YOU, without focussing on those who do it differently, you will always attract towards you more of those who are like you. Law of Universal attraction :)
