Yep. Been aware of that since I was old enough to buy my own clothes. I have several pants in different sizes across brands…there is no continuity. Even waist size isn’t accurate on the tags for women’s pants if they do add it. Hence, in the past, I would typically find a store where stuff fits, find my “size” in that store, and stick with it. Lately even that isn’t working. It’s like sizes have gotten even less consistent, and larger overall. Which is why hearing others are encountering similar issues makes me feel a little comfort.

Yeah I have ended up buying kids extra large lately. Extra small in women’s has gotten huge, even at stores where clothing has usually ran small. Thought I was going nuts.

I was playing wow until recently. My computer needs to be replaced. Once I do that, I was thinking about trying GW2.

Yeah. Fortunately I was already at the age where I was willing to become feral about my boundaries when this happened. Bites hurt a lot.

A stranger helped me carry something into a store. And saved me the embarrassment of taking it in a few steps at a time. I was really struggling with it… It wasn’t something most people would struggle with but…yeah. They were very kind to do so. I will probably think about that for a long time.

I have a couple of users blocked.

Nothing fancy. Date one after a couple weeks of talking. I made it clear I wasn’t down for physical shenanigans yet. After a drink he got a tiny bit handsy. Second drink, he moved to my side of the table and tried to get very handsy. I paid my half, said I was ready to leave without becoming confrontational. He clearly thought my boundaries had changed with a couple of weak drinks. On the walk to the car, he continuously tried to bully me into kissing him (absolutely not) and then tried to shove me in his car after pressuring me into a hug goodbye. I bit him on the titty and drove home like a maniac.

Just go by your middle name. No need to explain to anyone your personal business. Only assholes are going to insist on calling you something non preferred.

Uh well I’ve got a clam. But I think if I had bait and tackle?? I’d have many things to try. Including working on my flexibility.

I mean…yes. This is one of the things I imagine I would try if I ever had the equipment.

I do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.

Gossipy people.

Tbh that sounds pretty darn good.

Personally, I prefer wry humor. It’s sort of difficult to encounter in the wild while staying wholesome. Nothing dark and twisted for the sake of it, but wit is somehow comforting in the right place. And clever is so engaging…

So the kind of upset stomach I’m thinking about is like stomach flu. I know you’re not supposed to have acidic or junky things when you’re so sick you can barely crawl, not sure why it’s the only thing I can tolerate when I’m sick. Hence I felt it was a pretty good answer. :p

Thanks for pointing that out. I lost about 30lbs and my face kinda took on some of those qualities. Especially the prominent bone thing and sunken eyes.

Trouble is most of them are sickly sweet.

Sad tummy+lemon lime soda = healed

When I see this kind of thing I lean towards communication skills, emotional immaturity, and impulsivity enabled by just sitting behind a screen rather than being face-to-face with someone.

I’ve seen some Reddit-like behavior here, but thankfully not very much, and I personally don’t engage/respond.
