My husband has never read the books, watched Season 1 with me, and enjoyed it. The person saying it's got problems isn't wrong, but as confused as my husband was at times, I had a lot more problems with it than he did because of my knowledge of the books. I didn't hate it at much as many other book fans did, so we will watch Season 2 and probably once again be entertained but mildly disappointed.
I love your enthusiasm and positivity even more than I love your clever username. I hope you get your epic American meal someday!
What interface are you using to change it? I discovered when editing mine that changes made in an app didn't stick (I tried both Jerboa and Connect) but changes made in the browser did (so maybe Voyager/wefwef would have worked, but I didn't try that). I don't know why it works that way or if that's a bug that needs reported.
Ugh, ME TOO. It always feels so horrible when it happens, and it takes so long after for me to feel better or relieved at all, but then that feeling finally comes and probably all the suffering was worth it. But UGH, yuck.
What a great answer!
Mine is very similar to yours! I ended a friendship that had become toxic, and I also deeply regret having had to. I thought eventually I'd find another bestie to pal around with, going thrifting and making crafts, but it's been a lonely 6 years since then. My husband is wonderful and is truly my best friend, but there are interests that he will never share and experiences he will never understand, and I deeply miss having someone in my life who did share those interests and understand those experiences.
I'm in Ohio, and my reluctant suggestions for your meal would be Buckeyes (the chocolate-coated peanut butter candy, not the actual nut), that weird "Cincinnati-style" chili served over spaghetti noodles, and a big buttery ear of sweet corn. "Reluctant" because the idea of eating all 3 in one sitting really grosses me out, let alone in combination with anything else from any other state.
Can you tell me more about the taste side effect you're experiencing? What medication causes that? I've been having some weird mouth things since I started a medication a few months ago, but hadn't thought to connect it until now.
I love that it went so well for you! Were you popular in high school? Were you still in touch with many people? Did you take many photos and were any of them recreations of fun shots from back in the day? What was the biggest pleasant surprise of the night? Did anybody go in a direction that totally shocked you, but in a good way?
I had a rough time in school (✨Undiagnosed Neurodivergence in Rural America✨) and have never had any interest in keeping up with anyone, but I find it marvelously fascinating to hear about different experiences, and honestly - I love spectating a reunion! 😂 I've gone to a couple class reunion functions with my husband for his class, and I really enjoyed seeing him interact with all his old friends and hear their stories. I reached out to a couple random people from my childhood/teen years last summer around my 40th to check in and thank them for their positive influence and friendship, but I think that's the closest I'll ever get to my own reunion.
and being even mildly educated is a problem for our dipshit ideology
For real though. I went to church multiple times a week from around age 8 until my late teens, I went to the private Christian school run by our church from grades 8 through 11, I was thoroughly indoctrinated - but it all started falling apart in my early teens, when the pastor told me that animals don't have souls. How can you have pets and love them and not be absolutely certain that they have souls?!? And if he's wrong about something so obvious and basic, what else is he wrong about??
Turns out - everything 😂
It really doesn't take much education or life experience to start questioning it all.
It shows for me as soon as I try to go back up a little bit in the feed. I wonder why it's not showing for you?
I'm running Connect in Android 13 on a Moto G Stylus 2023, in case that matters to whoever ends up helping sort this out for you.
I had been kinda hopping between a few clients to figure out which I liked best, but I haven't opened anything but Connect all week.
And sometime this week, I realized there had been an update which made respond to replies I've gotten so much easier! Tapping replies in my inbox to see the context before replying, having the reply box pop up right there - it was everything I wanted but hadn't gotten around to asking for.
Thank you so much for this great app, I'm really enjoying it ❤️
Me right now:
What a lovingly written, beautiful obituary. If you're reading this and didn't click through yet, some highlights to help nudge you:
Kevin David Mitnick, 59, died peacefully on Sunday, July 16, 2023, after valiantly battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year. Kevin is survived by his beloved wife, Kimberley Mitnick, who remained by his side throughout their 14-month ordeal. Kimberley is pregnant with their first child. Kevin was ecstatic about this new chapter in his and Kimberley's life together, which has now been sadly cut short.
...
Kevin attracted attention and support from unlikely sources. The bus driver who saw young Kevin memorize the bus schedules, punch cards and punch tool systems so he could ride the buses all day for free testified as a character witness for Kevin during his federal trial. The federal prosecutor offered his testimony that Kevin never tried to take one dime from any of his “victims.” The probation officer assigned to monitor Kevin after prison gave Kevin permission to write his first book on a laptop when he was not yet supposed to have access to computers. Shawn Nunley, the star witness in the FBI's case against Kevin, became so disillusioned with the government's treatment of Kevin that he contacted Kevin's defense team, helped garner Kevin's release, and became one of Kevin's dearest friends. Kevin had an irresistible way of converting foes to friends and keeping them as friends forever.
...
Kevin was a gentleman: well-mannered and respectful, astoundingly generous with those he loved. He had a unique and unforgettable laugh - a delightful, loud, booming one - which he unleashed unexpectedly and often, frequently accompanied by a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He saw the funny side of his compulsive perfectionism and work ethic, and enjoyed laughing at his own expense - a rare quality among the best of us.
...
He had so much living left to do. And we know, with broken hearts, that there will never ever be anyone like him again. We will miss him for the rest of our days, hear his voice in our minds, and look forward to reconnecting with him in whatever version of the 'beyond' we each believe in. To imagine that Kev could be there to greet us, likely playing a prank, or inviting us to share an extraordinary meal and conversation, will be heaven indeed. We are each so deeply grateful for the time we had with this truly great man.
We celebrate that a part of Kevin will live on with the upcoming birth of his and Kimberley’s child. We can only hope that the child knows, as he or she grows, that around the world, the many friends of his father will be holding them in their hearts.
I can't imagine the loss and devastation his pregnant widow feels, but I'm so glad that she and their child will be surrounded by so many people who dearly loved him.
Kevin had an irresistible way of converting foes to friends and keeping them as friends forever.
Truly - what a loss to the entirety of humanity. What a gem of a human.
My two moods:
I'm wishing you excellent digestion, effortless prioritization, energy, ease, and efficiency. ❤️
My Buff Orpington, Welsummer, and guinea chicks are all 2 weeks old today, and they are legitimately trying to fly around their enclosure even though none of them are fully fledged! It's crazy, they are like little peeping popcorn, hopping and popping around. And they're so funny! Somebody will occasionally find an extra long piece of pine shaving to carry around, and it starts a mad scramble as everybody else tries to catch them to steal it. 😂 I'm trying to figure out how to set up a livestream so my parents can watch them from their home. I'm also scrambling myself, trying to finish the coop and run before they outgrow the indoor enclosure.
My golden retriever is a perfect angel with them and loves to sit and watch them play. It's hard to believe he's only a year old, we just can't get over how unbelievably good he is for his age. Idk if all goldens are magic angels or if we just got crazy lucky.
My 16yo is still not interested in taking the permit test or driving. He's got my sense of caution, so I'm not really surprised. I can't believe he'll be a junior this year! And he's dating, he and his partner have been together for a few months, and they're so very good to each other. It's so lovely to see him in love, cherishing someone and being cherished.
And my husband is almost fully recovered from Lyme! We might have social plans this weekend for the first time in a while. 🎉
Oh that last sentence has been a fear I've been trying to suppress! I'm hopeful that I've had enough clinicians agree that it's ADHD to make it very hard for anybody to mislabel me now, but I worry a lot about getting the classics they use to dismiss women: BPD, depression, anxiety, etc.
How have the diagnosis changes affected your life?

I love the Wrong Boys. ❤️ They are a bright light of hope and ideas in a dark time.
That was my answer for why I wanted to join, too! And I answered the "what will you contribute?" one pretty simply too, with the same things I try to bring to any conversation: my knowledge and empathy wherever they can be helpful.
I took the questions as the same kind of very basic filtering that my husband does for his tractor enthusiast Facebook group; he's not looking for essays, he just wants to know people will actually read (and follow!) the rules and not be jerks.
ugh, this just gave me real, visceral dread, and I haven't played that stage in at least 5 years!
it was so, so HARD. Also I'm a filthy casual and everything is hard for me, but jfc that area kicked my whole ass repeatedly.
