  • I feel like I am going to cry any moment now. :(

    Crying's not the worst thing a person can do.

    My mother hated to cry though, she said.
    I think she felt it seemed weak of her to cry.
    I had to eat some frozen yogurt because I had bad acid reflux in the middle of the day.

    So yogurt helps against acid reflux? I need to keep that in mind

    Yogurt helps, kefir in particular.
    The people who don’t want me to have a relationship or become a father I wish I could prove wrong.

    Honestly for someone like that, even if you were like, just GLOWING with potential to be the father of the year, they'd STILL say something like that, because that's how they are. They... dont... care. They just want to get a rise out of you.

    And you keep giving it to them. Long after they're gone.

    I agree with Misery, even if people say mean things like that to you, they're likely doing it to other people now and have already forgotten what they said to you. I doubt they really care, but it does hurt when someone intentionally hurts your feelings and I resonate with that

    @Markness How does maintaining a focus on whoever these people are work for you?
    It looks like you believe you need to strive against the wishes of others in order to feel
    motivated toward what you seek.
    Not having a girlfriend and being depressed about it doesn’t make me an incel.

    I agree. I hate those derogatory terms, especially when they're based on something as meaningless as virginity status. That doesn't define who a complex person is whatsoever

    @Silhouette Mirage , ever hear of the 1970s? The messages from pop culture, the media, and peers was that if you were a virgin you were damaged, useless, unwanted, suspect. Employers did treat people differently if they were NOT in a relationship. (illegal now, not so much back then.) Yes, we were defined that way.
    I have a headache from checking back in so many books. :(

    I find that just sitting still and closing my eyes for a while often helps with headaches. I like to just sit or lie still and listen to the tv or music with my eyes closed. Eyes use a lot of effort so the head has to work when you use them.

    That doesn't seem likely.
    Unless you were physically over burdened.
    Which can happen, if you skip breakfast and then
    exert yourself.
    I want the people who don’t want me to have a relationship to know that I won’t do what they want me to do and that is to stop looking.

    Yes, you are very concerned about the opinions of other people.
    Do you guys have electricity today? (Saturday the 24th)

    Sad. I don't think l could do well. I had 3 polarfleece blankets one was heated, and 3 pairs of pants and two tops to go to sleep last nite.:)

    That's good.
    It's not, for a lot of other people in TX.
    I had to drive away from home to escape my mother’s nagging.

    I actually drove to a park but the wind is getting colder and my clothes aren’t protecting me.

    When I went the .4 of a mile to the corner it wasn't bad. Wind at my back.
    The return trip I was glad I wore a mask to cover my lower face and wished the
    my hood and scarf covered more of my forehead. Temp was ok enough (17F)
    but the wind chill was -1F.

    Your mom is a piece of unmentionable. Happy holidays. :)
    Nice to see a new dinosaur movie that isn’t goofy or just another entry in the Jurassic Park franchise!

    I just hate the idea of oversimplifying dinosaurs as vicious killing machines. It was a complex ecosystem that these animals were living in. Most ecosystems could only support about 15% carnivores, max. Though I have been to the Kem Kem, an esturary ecosystem where Spinosaurs predated Onchopristus, giant sawfish with nasty barbs, and carnivores were nearly 50% of species. Spinosaur teeth are common there.
    I have to take back an apology for someone who didn’t acknowledge it.

    Was the apology even necessary in the first place? Much like guilt - I find myself apologising when it's not even necessary.

    @tree I attempted to make amends with someone and they gave me the cold shoulder.

    So?
    Does that really mean that now you should"un-apologize" ?

    Was your apology based on hopes for whatever it would gain you, rather than
    true acknowledgment of wrong doing on your part?
    Guh, I’ve been here for almost two and a half hours.

    Well, you know what Mr. Rogers used to say:

    Are they that bad? I think I signed up there earlier this year but they've just got so many dead threads going on compared to this place

    They are very toxic and will turn on you if you do just one mistake in their eyes.

    Unless that site changes hands to someone who takes a firm line on bad behaviour it will continue to be a place where toxic behaviour festers. Toxic behaviour here is far less common. It is much easier to interact and the members, including myself, find it a less stressful place to be.

    I put her together last night and in the morning. I plan on painting some parts and learn how to use water slide decals.

    There are a few videos on youtube of waterslide decals being used on model railway locos. They are also used on model aircraft. Have a look, hopefully you find a step by step guide that works for you.
    Learned that a detractor of mine is upset for not getting her way.

    Aside from the schadenfreude. See, what you think of yourself is most important. What that meteor (a bright flash then disappeares) thought of you counted for nothing.
