We had a baby changing booth at the county fair, free diapers. (We made Pampers.) Gave whole bags to new moms or very pregnant women.
I did make the wrong guess sometimes. No, it is not good.

This is prolly the weirdest first post ever on TGR.

Like, unless it is Queen Mother that suddenly decided to join us. Then it would make kind of a sense.

Because I'm a horrible person. That's why.

Its good that I remember and just stay away from people. Bad things happen when I forget.

Don't ever think things could be different. Do not try to help. Dont they to do good things. Dont believe someone is a friend.

I dont deserve any of that.

Thanks for helping remember. It makes it easier.

I posted this the other day hoping you might see it. It is something my yoga instructor said the other day. She was referring to the stories we tell ourselves about who and what we are, things we repeat over and over again until we believe them to be true good or bad:

The most important conversation you will have today is the one with yourself about all those things you keep repeating in your head until you believe they are true.

I have an old friend/former roommate. She was always a bit of whiner, complained about other people all the time, complained about this or that. I'm not sure what happened, whether she had an epiphany or a mentor that got through to her or what. But she started always posting affirmations and positive things on facebook, started going to all sorts of seminars on this stuff, and eventually dropped her career as a teacher to become a business coach (not sure what the proper term is). Her job/profession seems silly to me, and the notion that simply saying positive things all the time seems hokey, but it is clear that it has worked brilliantly for her. She simply is not the same sad sack person anymore. Maybe that person is still inside her in some fashion, but she has learned how to defeat it, how to keep it from encroaching on her enjoyment of life.

Which is all a long winded way to say that what you say is true, from what I see.

And to keep this post on topic, my friend's transformation amuses me.

The other day I was getting off the freeway and noticed the guy usually standing there had stashed away his signs next to the guard rail ...I hope he proofreads them because “The Hitchhikers Code $10..Ask Me How “ is in magic marker on the bottom of one now

Yup - often we are our own worst enemies which is unfortunately no amusing so let's get back to what is.....

But won't that important conversation just wind up being another thing you keep repeating in your head until you believe it's true? What most of us lack is a) true, objective feedback, and b) the capacity to accept it

I play every game by myself. Except TGR.

Plenty to remind me how much I suck.

For this, I am grateful.

Is there a age that’s like a cut off number for that like AARP or something I feel like I’ve past that point

It amuses me that you constantly seek to be the center of attention and derail threads towards your pathetic condition.

The US Census lists the category middle age from 45 to 65 so I'd say if you've lived past 45 you're definitely no good. :wink:

That's cool. I figured I might get one of those, but one of them costs twice what 2 MAGA hats cost.

I do have a Trump University T shirt "Where one person can ruin the world", which was made for me by my son's fiance. Which is funny because my genuine Oberlin College t shirt says "One person can change the world", which she didn't know.

probably not many. I saw one today which prompted my post. I am fairly sure I recall seeing another (but I can't recall the names). And there are surely some others.

There was a thread posted recently in "ask tgr" that had a link to an old list of usernames and emails, pre-2009 I think. Found a couple of aliai in there that are still active simultaneously. I bet the mods see all sorts of weird shit.

Guy throwing a 7 foot stick way out in the lake for his 2 labs. First time they both grab the stick from the same side and swim it to shore together. The second time they grab it from opposite sides and swim around in circles until the stronger one manages to get them to shore. I almost fell out of my kayak.

I guess you had to see it.

The other dog thing I saw on my paddle--it was about 90 degrees today, woman lying on a dock flat on her back covered by a Bernese. My kids both have Bernese, so I know how that works.
