I only started texting a year or two ago. I resisted until then. I'm still about the only person I know with a limited texting plan. So when my soccer teams text everyone in a group text and everyone responds, my text allotment is taken up in just a few weeks.
I don't see why people think texting is easier than email. And email is free, and still comes to your smartphone.
I've cheated on my whole 30 every day this week and lied by omission to H. He is out of town and told me he hasn't cheated at all. He is keeping an ice chest of food with him. Dude is committed.
I hear you. I eat junk when DH is not home. I just got an ice cream. I will hide the wrapper.

We don't have cable at home. I say we really don't need it because, well we don't. But when the kids are gone on the weekends and I want trashy tv but all I have access to is golf, racing, pbs, and "in the heat of the night" I miss it.
I'm thinking about getting my first tattoo - at 32 years old. Cue the "There's an age limit" arguments.
I actually think this is infinitely smarter than getting one in your teens or even early 20s. You are so much more self-aware now and far less likely to have any regrets about it. You're also more established in your career so you know what's appropriate vs. a college kid who thinks he's going to be an artist and them ends up working in an office setting.
I've been going under general anesthesia regularly (like, 3-4 times a year) for the past few years. That phase should be over ... And I'm going to miss it. I really love going under. I assume this is super weird.
I kinda do too! I especially love the IV pain meds when you wake up!
I realized a few years ago that I can't get a cavity filled without the laughing gas. My anxiety is out of control during the procedure. But also, I like it. A lot.

I've got background app refresh turned off on my phone to save battery so it doesn't notify my when I get an email but I'm always notified when I get a text.
Texting has greatly improved my relationship with my mom!!
Me too, except when she's mad at me and fires off a WAY over the top text, complete with name calling and Fuck You. Then we have to have a come to Jesus talk about appropriate texts and when to type but not send things until you have calmed down.
Yeah, I got some specialty jams from portland and I got super mad when H smothered it with cheese and I could hardly taste the jam. I might have declared loudly that the centerpiece of the dish should shine on its own, lol. I need to watch less cooking shows.
I've been job searching for the past few months and am starting to think outside of the box when it comes to my career/being open again to training, apprenticeships, internships, etc. I've done fine working for myself as a freelancer for years, and while I don't want to give up being my own "boss," being alone for the greater part of the day isn't cutting it.
Have you looked into any shared creative spaces? We have a couple places in town where you pay a subscription fee and get access to a cool workspace where other creative types work as well.
Seems like a neat option for freelancers to get out and have some interaction/community.

Confession (although it might be better labeled a flameful): the response NEWP is stupid and I side-eye those that use it. Curse all day long, no problem. Jump on a bandwagon to flame somebody, go for it. Use NEWP...GTFO.
Another confession I have is my mother has never said "fuck you" to me. Ever.
She would never have said it to my face, which was my point.
It was over something SO stupid, too. She was (understandably) irritated with me, but she fired off a text that turned a simple irritation into a huge fight.
Additional confession: we resolved it over text too. LOL

Do iiiiiiiiiiiiit!
If I could make a freaking commitment to actually pick one of the three designs I have been thinking about for 15 years I would totally do it!
Maybe we need another girls beach weekend? LOL kevin arnold_
Serenity9 - I got my first tattoo at 30. I am 32 and have 3 now. I'm already planning my next post baby. It's addicting - watch out! But I LOVE all my tattoos so much!!

I was doing this as well. And although I'm out of the game temporarily, I will be back to it in a year or so. I can't wait. Judge away.
I also adore prophynol (sp?). I love the feeling going in and coming out. It's like legally being high.
My friend hosted a potluck birthday party for herself this weekend and neglected to mention that parking was difficult/expensive. Urban etiquette IMHO, includes mentioning if this is the case.
I'm in BEC territory over this and decided not to invite her to our next GTG.
I am seriously considering adopting a new kitty while my husband is gone for a long work trip. He is not thrilled about the idea but if he came home to a new kitty he couldn't disagree.
I'm cat-sitting for my ex for the next two weeks, starting tonight. I was going to say no... but I miss Sparky and I'm the only other person who already knows his feeding and insulin shot routine. I'm excited to see Sparky and Casanova reunited. They were so gay for each other before and I know Casanova gets lonely now.
Another confession I have is my mother has never said "fuck you" to me. Ever.
My confession is I've never heard my mother curse. Once when I was young I thought she used the word damn, however it turned out she was in fact just looking for "The Dam Road". Lololol.

I don't mind texting, it has its useses. But holy hell if you cannot complete your interaction wtih me in like, two texts, pick up the damned phone and call me like a grown-up. I have a serious dislike for text conversations.
I just joined instagram, and I don't get it at all. How do people make the little collages? How is it different/better than Facebook? The whole thing makes me feel old.
I do text though. It's the greatest thing ever for my social anxiety!
@imback. can you flush out the details of your love triangle? i mean, you basically unloaded almost everything on us the other week. you might as well just tell us everything.
after, we can teach you how to text and then you can save one of your relationships with a boob text or something.
I thought everyone wanted me to shut up about B...
B. was surprised to find out that I have never texted and that I had no interest in it.
