I also dropped out very early. Struggled with that disappointment for a long time. Moved in with my SO’s parents and lived with them for years!

We moved out and got a rental when I was 25. I’m 29 now and working on my career in banking. Started exercising the last couple years and have been keeping up with it consistently. I feel like it was only in the last few years that I felt I was making progress but really needed some optimism to keep going. You just never know what’s going to change your life around. Try to improve yourself in any way you can and sometimes that can help you change your trajectory

She’s either 25 or 75

Absolutely! It doesn’t matter how small you start.

I work a desk job and told myself I needed to exercise otherwise I would continue having back/health problems. I started with a 1-2 minute workout every day just so I could get in the habit. And if I didn’t feel like doing even that, I would at least do a few push ups or squats. Once I got used to taking that time every day I saw myself taking 5 minutes. Then 10, 20, 30… Now I commit to a 75-90 minute workout about 5 times a week. And I never thought it would get to that point but I started to enjoy it and look forward to that time every day!

Omg what a cutie! Great shot!

I could’ve sworn I heard of a Hannah Montana-type show/character years before the show came out…

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It goes over a lot of general knowledge and science, including the history of those discoveries, in a way that’s conversational and so engaging. I wish I could find more books like it, so I’m open to suggestions!

Oh, I honestly didn’t know it had a different name. Perhaps Picross is just the name for the video game version

I don’t play much any more but I used to love Picross

Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack.

I’ve always heard that but also been told to wait for some time after eating before brushing to not hurt your enamel? Not sure how true that is

As far as I know there isn’t :/ I was thinking it may be to offset how much more can be done every day with multiple people working on the same farm

Yes, same thing would happen to me! It was a risk trying to stretch it out because if it works the pain would go away but if it didn’t pop, then the pain would be worse than when I started. Sorry you’re still going through it. My doctor recommended NSAIDs for the pain but they didn’t help me too much. Eventually the problem went away and I luckily haven’t had it come back

I used to have costochondritis which was an inflammation of the cartilage in my sternum. It would feel like a pressure on my chest that wouldn’t be relieved until I bent backwards to stretch and “pop” my chest. So occasionally friends and family would see me stretching and wonder wtf I was doing

It is a lot of fun! There is one main player who holds the save file and others can join and live in cabins on the farm. The cabins can be upgraded just like the farmhouse and every player has their own inventory, skills, and money.

The only thing that sucks is that time never stops when multiple players are in the game. Idk if there is a workaround, but it makes days go by way too fast later on in the game when you have more daily tasks to do before heading to the mines/cavern. You really have to work as a team and assign responsibilities otherwise you don’t have time for any exploration

SO and I started a new farm on Stardew Valley so we’ll most likely be playing that all weekend

I’ve been waiting to play this!

Sounds similar to deja reve which is when you feel like you’ve previously dreamt what is currently happening

Mean Girls hands down. Bridesmaids second, then White Chicks

Every day before bed. If I exercise earlier in the day then I’ll shower twice.

Your first sentence is a really good point. Many cis-gendered people thing it’s pointless to add their pronouns in their email/bio, but it helps to not out those who are trans. If everyone/most people state their pronouns then it makes it harder to unnecessarily identify those who are trans.
