peppermint yay!!!! Not flameful! I'm super jealous. I guess my flameful is that I've managed to get myself into a ton of debt based on medical bills I've put off paying from last years emergency. My mom is helping me put together a budget and I'm hoping to get them all paid off by the end of the year. I'm just so embarrassed that I let it get to this point.
@pdx18 don't be embarrassed - you're taking steps to get where you want to go. ain't no shame in your game! recovering from emergencies like that are tough all around, so props to you for addressing it.

There is no shame here. It would be flameful if you weren't putting a plan together to pay them off. I'm paying some off right now too, it sucks but it does feel good to get it out of the way.

I'm feeling let down by some of my friends. It seems like I am always responsive to texts or calls and am generally very supportive, but I don't feel like I get that support in return. The flameful part is that one of my friends got bad news about her dad's health and I was very supportive when she told me and she knows that I am here for her, but I tried to text her about my dog and my worries and she didn't respond. I know she has stuff going on and her stuff definitely outranks mine, but it would be nice to get a response.
I somehow spent almost $2,000 the past two weeks. Granted, I paid off my VS credit card, made my first car payment, paid titling shit on the car, and some other bills, but HOLY SHIT! WTF!?! I spent a SHIT TON on food and alcohol, apparently.
peppermint-the only flameful part is the BRAGGING! J/K. Brag away.
I stalked ML a bit yesterday due to having a lot of downtime while waiting to meet with a client. Someone posted about respecting a guy who sent her a paper about WHY he is anti-gay because he knows a lot about current events, etc. and is nice to her. I could NEVER respect someone anti-gay. No matter HOW NICE the person is. You could be mother Teresa and I would still want to punch you in the face for making a claim, like, 90% of gay people were molested. No.

The pay it forward coffee thing has never happened to me and I hope it never does. I have a specific budget I'm allowed to treat myself once in a while and I don't want to be guilted into spending something else. I will feel like crap if I continue the pay it forward (doing it out of guilt) or if I don't.
pantsoffdanceoff I am sorry your friends aren't being more supportive, hopefully she will come around soon. My best friends dad is in the hospital and had his leg amputated, so I am really trying hard not to bother her with stuff I feel is less important and then try to remind myself that while our issues are just different and one isnt more important than the other.
jojoandleo that is me 100% its an immediate deal breaker for relationships and friendship if you are anti-gay.

Me too! My dad is the only straight kid. His brother and sister are both gay. Also, the majority of my friends are gay. I go to gay pride every year. It is a huge part of my life. I cannot understanding hating on a sect of people based solely on what TWO CONSENTING ADULTS do in the bedroom. STFU.
one of my co-workers and I have a meeting on Monday with our general counsel on some work related stuff. Before I started working here he and I went on a date and made out in the parking lot and he felt me up. Now when I see him at work it's #awkward

That entire thread put the OP straight in BEC territory for me.

I'm always afraid it will happen to me and I'll end up in front of a car with, like, 4 people carpooling to work and buying coffee for their whole office #scrooge
oops so is this a new thing? someone did that for me at the starbucks drive thru, but I didnt PIF for the car behind me. I suck

Why couldn't you pay for one coffee vs the whole car? You're still paying it forward.

I don't get how it works. I thought basically the person in the first car bought an extra coffee, then everyone else just bought a coffee for the person behind them. So you're only spending what you already were planning on spending, right?
I guess if you find out someone has ordered a $6 drink and you only wanted to spend $2, you can just say "thanks but no thanks".

This has been part of my criteria for finding a church too. I don't want to get crap for thinking my Uncle should be allowed to marry his partner of the last 9 years. It's no one else's business. If they are happy, what does it matter?

Same here. My friends group is made up by a decent mix of gay, stright, bi, trans, and asexual people.
I love the starbucks thing and have had it happen to me once and have started it before. I will usually ask how much the order behind me is and as long as its under $15 (usually its only $3-$6) I will pay for theirs and if I am starting it then I pay for theirs and mine. Also when starting it I can usually hear what the person behind me ordered, so as long as its one or two drinks I am fine. I try to do it a few times a year. I am sure its a coincidence, but every time I have done it I have a really good day.

See, I remembered the SN, but couldn't remember WHY, until later and I was like, OH YEAH! She was in BEC territory already, I just forgot. #ADHDproblems.

My own Flameful is that for some reason my sex drive is really high lately so basically every night when I get time to myself I'm taking care of it. I've watched a ridiculous amount of porn this week.

You and me both sister. I've been having sex dreams like nobody's business. My showers have been very entertaining this week (it's my only private time when the kids are home). I seriously considered getting back on pof or tinder just for a ONS to scratch the itch, but I don't know that I'd like myself after
I have two. I'm looking (just online) at houses in the town where TL lives. Just fact finding, but I'm seriously pondering a move there. It would also be a move closer to a good school where I can finish my degree. I keep looking at *ahem* special occasion boots and was very sad the pair of ivory Luccheses sold on eBay. Also just looking, but the seed has been planted. Eep.
Check on Amazon, I have a pair of special occasion boots from Pleaser USA that have worked out well in the past. Although, I don't know how they work for a night out, as they've never been worn outside the bedroom.
I was so excited to get this office about a year ago, and now I have to share it. We just hired on a new person. If I didn't share my office, the other office would have 3 people squeezed into it, so I know it makes sense to do two people in each room. But I'm still feeling scroogey about it.
With all of the medical bills in my future, I really should go on a spending freeze in February, but I probably won't because I feel I deserve nice new things because of everything I have been through in the past few years
