I got a new laptop at work and everything, every file I worked in, was creating a second copy of itself on OneDrive. It was so annoying and took awhile but I found instructions on deleting the duplicates.

It took all the files off my local machine and left the ones on OneDrive.

Aaaargh!

30 is too old to date a girl, yes. Not too old to date a woman though.

I scale the weight up as I do other things, start with unloaded 30lb bar, adding 10lb for sets of 10 until I can do only 5 reps then stop. Most stuff (curls, etc) I cannot do much weight so each exercise I drop off as I cannot do, towards the end it’s literally just deadlifts, add weight, more deadlifts.

I lift weights at home (husband accumulated a set of bars and plates and dumbbells before we got together), it’s not my main workout but deadlifts are the only lift I actually honest to God enjoy. And it helps a lot with yoga.

This would be great if it was a gay bar doing it. A hetero day, welcome your brothers, lol.

A straight day at a straight guy bar is straight nonsense though.

Valencia are good juicing oranges, but messy for eating. Navel oranges are dryer and less flavor but great to eat because so big and so easy to peel and section.

Fresh orange juice is just a whole different thing, it’s not like the bottled ones. If you juiced the navel oranges it would still taste more like the fresh juice from juicing oranges than the bottled juice does.

There are greening tolerant (not resistant) varieties developed already, yes of course biologists have been and are urgently working on it. I have a “sugar bell” tree, that’s one of them.

Evolution and Nelly’s are the only brands that get close, but nothing is like fresh squeezed (obviously, same thing with any citrus juice, right?) so I just make some when I want it, by squeezing some oranges. We can still get the juicing oranges here, not year round though.

I would think this false but my ex MIL (my kids grandma) does do that to my husband (who doesn’t care). I can’t imagine touching anyone at work without explicit permission and probably not even then. It seems so messed up.

We actually pay for all our kids’ phone service because T-Mo let us add them for $10/month each line. If they raise it 5 per line it will add quite a bit but I think I’d just ask the kids to pay their $15 a month then, or spin them off if they prefer, and save money overall, T-Mobile has already saved us thousands of dollars over the years, improving service without raising the price so they have a little bit of loyalty from me. It may get shitty from now but it’s been a good run for 15 years at least.

That’s funny, I was about 115 (5’9" female) after recovering and the first time I had someone feeding me thrice a day was at school in England during a year abroad when I was about 20. I did balloon to a healthy 140ish (ten stone, as they put it) which kinda panicked me but then dropped back in my 20s because poor, and never had extra food. It never bothered me being skinny at all, I preferred it for looks but it wrecked my bone mass. Now I am mid 50s and 150lb - that is with eating what I want, and working out heavier, and even though it’s a healthy size and I’m so much stronger and technically more conventionally beautiful proportions, it bothers me, still feel attached to being skinny. Oh well. I guess nobody is entirely satisfied with their body.

The trick that worked for me whenever underweight (and mentally healthy enough to want to gain) was to buy a box of Triscuits crackers and a tub of hummus each week and eat it in addition to my normal diet. Somehow that was the food that provided calories, not too unhealthy but not so filling that it displaced lunch & supper.

People who can’t keep weight on often don’t realize how many meals they are skipping. You eat something, it makes you full all day, so you wait until the next day to eat, and don’t notice you didn’t eat supper! Nowadays it happens a lot because of Adderall too.

I don’t mind guys being awkward if they are at ease with it - I know this sounds like a contradiction but it’s not. I have dated guys who were, by the world’s standards, not outgoing or social or great at conversation, but who were clever as fuck, good in bed, and thoughtful, and not so entirely wrapped up in themselves.

Employment though - my personal experience is that guys (the ones I have known) need to work or they get focused on threats, real or imagined, to the exclusion of all else.

I think they mean some guys don’t consider 2 women having sex to be “real sex” so they don’t think it’s cheating.

Yeah I had acupuncture to induce labor with one of my kids, the water had broken and I was “on the clock” so the midwife called an acupuncturist and they did some sort of electrified needles and it absolutely did work, and is apparently as effective as pitocin, or slightly more so. It was an unsettling feeling to get acupuncture done to induce pain.

Yes, I think you would be increasing your chance of landing that. Yes. And sorry.

I think if you disparage a group of people, it would be helpful to live as one for awhile. So there should be a greater chance of rolling that.

Other than that, straight up randomizing would probably work ok (since everything is a pyramid most at the top would be trading down economically), and you need to acquire enough knowledge when transfered to know what the daily life is - where to go for work or school, familiarity with the situation you are in, the basics of your job. It’s a lesson not a punishment, right?

Sometimes I think we need a Freaky Friday sort of thing to happen. Can she just wake up as a black trans woman tomorrow, just for a few days? Walk in their shoes?

I have no Facebook, I want no Facebook. When I got my now job a few years back they said “we couldn’t find you on Facebook.” That’s right, you can’t.

And yes I get left out of that communication stream, but absolutely don’t care. Like, not even a little bit.

I’m waiting it out. Already my kids see it as “boomer shit”.

I went to the zoo but it sucked, they had only one exhibit and it was of a dog.

It was a shitzu.
