TMI Tuesday

  1. You went to dinner on a first date, and your date took care of the bill. But when you get home you get a text from your date that is a Venmo request (money transfer app i.e., TransferWise, Paypal Worldremit Azimo) for half the cost of dinner. Do you;


a. Pay the Venmo amount in order to up your chances of a second date

b. Only pay for what you actually consumed

c. Pay nothing because the date supposedly picked up the tab and did not discuss halfsies when you were face-to-face

d. Call the date and yell “WTF?!”


C. and also never see them again because that is some passive aggressive bullshit that they can't ask to split the check in the restaurant if that's what they wanted. 


2. Does anyone owe you over twenty dollars? How many different people?


No.  I don't lend money except to my kids and I haven't at the moment.   


3. Are you one to sneak food into movie theaters?


I have, but not often.  I don't buy food there hardly ever.  And I haven't been to a theater since oh, 2019. 


4. What do you want to brag about?


How cute my dogs are.   SOOOO cute. And cuddly. 


5. What do you get in trouble for the most?


Trouble? What, me?  


Bonus:  What is in your attic?


I have never been there.  Could be a mummy or a bat civilization.

TMI Tuesday

 1. Traditions. We all have them. Some good and, well, some not so good. Think for a minute. When you were a kid, what were your holiday traditions? Do you still follow some of them today?

When I was a kid, we'd open the presents usually the day before Christmas eve, at night, and then my parents would drive all night to get to the first set of grandparents house.  Me and my brother (and later on, a couple dogs) would sleep in the back.  The seats would all fold down to make a cozy bed.  Then we'd wake up to breakfast and Grandma and Grandpa's. They would spoil us with sausages, sweet rolls, all sorts of attention, while my mom and dad slept to make up for the night.  Christmas morning my aunt and uncles would be there, and all the cousins and we'd open presents and have another big breakfast.  Then we'd drive to the other grandparents' house and do it all again.

I don't follow those traditions, especially not the driving at night because I just can't.  Sometimes we go visit my kids' grandparents and sometimes we stay home.

2. How would you describe this stage of your life?

Uh, mourning and bullshit?  


3. What is next for you?

I'd say recovery of equilibrium.   


4. What will you do this month to nourish you?

Hug my friends, play with my puppies.  Hug my friend's puppies. 


5. Are you participating in Movember?

Nope.  I try to walk when I have energy, but that's not every day.  My job involves a lot of walking most days.  

Bonus: What is your motto?

I don't know, what's the motto with you?

Weird lost feelings, reprint with easier to see color

 I feel weird about still being in all the Master/slave groups on fetlife, seeing as how I'm no longer a slave and am not seeking anyone. I don't know if I'd ever want to be  a slave again.  Right now, my feeling is no.


But I can't really stand to leave the groups either, and I still read the topics. 


But also, I am still wearing my "vanilla" collar every day because it feels important to keep.  I stopped wearing the night or play collar because it was bothering me, I don't know why.  All these little decisions that have no real right or wrong answer, I just answer with my gut feeling on what I want to do at the moment.  It's a weird sensation having no real answer and just do what I want though.

Puppies!

 

They are big!  Still so cute though.

TMI Tuesday.

 1. You found bags of money, in an empty storage room. It appears to be around $100,000 cash (usd). Do you:

A. Take the bags home, count the money, roll around in it, and day dream about how you will spend it


B. Get the hell out of the storage room, leaving the money behind.


C. Take a little money to pay some immediate bills, and maybe enough to cover one nagging debt.


D. Call someone whom you trust and ask their advice on what to do.


E. Take the money to the police and explain how and where you found it.

Probably E.  With that much money, it's got to be trouble to just take it.

2. Have you had your wallet stolen?

No, but I had someone attempt to take my purse when I was in high school, a kid.  He ran by in the hall and grabbed it, but I just held on to the strap and glared for a few seconds until he ran off. I didn't know him.  


3. Have you ever been a victim of identity theft? What happened?

Does having a credit card used fraudulently count?  That has happened a few times, and we got the charges erased and got a new card.  


4. How do you let loose?

I don't really.  


5. Finish the sentence: People often say to me _____ .

You're so quiet.  I don't say anything in reply.  


Bonus: Do you have a lot to say?

See above.  

It's been three years

  It's been three years, which seems both like a lifetime and a blink of an eye.  I still feel the heavy weight of the unfairness that a...
