KnoxForPres

I think your maturity and thoughtfulness to the responses show a lot about your character. To be sure we have all done regretful things but as you stated- it’s learning and vowing to do better. You’ve beaten yourself up enough. It is now in the past and onward and forward to better!

I can’t determine if it’s me aging or if these shows aren’t as good but VR was must see for me at one time in my life and now I struggle to get through an episode. I still love the opening and music. I hate Brittany. When she was telling us how she had forgiven Jax for his cheating all I wished for was that marriage to crash and burn . She’s smug and acts entitled. All the girls ganging up on Kristen is boring. They’ve shamed her into her situation and she doesn’t have the nerve to say “I don’t care if I support him- ok!” Stassi is coming to my town in March and I bought tix and and going with another VR fan. I find her funny and smart. I also suspect I won’t believe how pretty she is in real life bc I do find her very attractive.

And I don’t have the quote but didn’t Robyn let us know she had plenty of monogamist suitors? Did I hear that right? Was that her way of letting us know she was a hot commodity? I got engaged last year (first time- 39 at the time-anything can happen!) and wouldn’t that be akin to me saying “I could have entered polygamy”. The fuck? She sought polygamy the way rest of us do monogamy. Christine and her outrage at the house is unreal. Her need to bang at the kitchen and outdoors is laughable. I don’t believe you C and if you’re telling the truth you’re in a plural marriage so bang when you can like the rest of the world. Why in the world did the gals agree to want to look miserable in the promo! And the music is like Intervention where you expect the black screen of “they all overdosed after taping”

@Suzy Rhapsody wow and wow! Congratulations seems so small to what you’ve really done. I am so proud of you! The best and wisest have given you such good advice.

Ha- you know I love Frazier but didn’t realize doorbells were common. Now I’ll be like “yep! There it is!”

@Annber03 made me think of one. Knox on occasion will audibly toot and she looks up and stares at her butt like wth! She’s 9- she should know this stuff! She also watches tv. Like I can’t describe how she watches. She knows the first few beats to commercials with animals and looks up from a deep slumber. She gives the dogs on TV hell with barking then passes back out when it’s over. She likes all kinds of shows but she watched Back to the Future in its entirety.

This is hilarious. Self care to me is akin to busy mom. Overused and never defined. Her use of “definitely” annoys me. I feel this means “I am going to use my lazy boy this year and sit and just let self care happen while reflecting on how busy a day I had buttering my toast and getting the mail. You all can google self care for your own ideas”.

Full disclosure as those have seen me on others- I’m happily engaged! But hey- a girl knows a hottie

Hahah! Yes sis! It’s why when you initially said that I was like- hang now a second! Some hotties! Which good news- means real world if we’re on the hunt!

Ha- so true!- when does it happen? I’m 40 and know Jennifer Aniston is always 10 years older bc our bdays are close so checked out some male celebs who turned 50. Matthew McConaughey, Trey Parker, Gerard Butler, and P Diddy (never sure what name he goes by) and none of them seem old at all to me and I’d accept a dinner date if all parties were single. I listen to a shuffle of all kinds of music and on the way to work the other day Wild Thing by Tone Loc came on and I sang and got down In my car like no ones business. I had the thought- when do you age out of this? If I live long enough will I be 87 going “oh hell yes- I know all the words!” when Ice Ice Baby comes on?

Ole Leo DiCaprio won’t fuck a girl over 30 and who’s not a model. And I’d do the same if I were him. I was and to this day would say I’m good looking. My experience only- all parties single- the older I got I would say oh shit. The older a hot guy says bring it on and let the good times roll.

My experience has been it doesn’t matter unless one party thinks it matters. I hung out with a guy eight years younger but we checked every box on compatibility, humor- had a really good time together. The age gap prevented him from moving to more serious. At my then age of 35 knew it’s rare to find a connection like we we had but he had not experienced enough to know that. We are still friends and he’s 32 now and still single and I like to think he has occasional moments of regret, haha. This is of course more common when the female is older so if he’s hot, funny and kind and into you I’d go for it. Fair warning- if he looks like a movie star and is single he could be a player. Nothing wrong with that as long as your eyes are wide open.

That meltdown was something else, wasn’t it? For years those of us who adore these shows get the often “it’s all scripted” line thrown at us. Then anytime I see them in one of those commercials promoting a movie or what have you, the line reading is that of a 2nd grade play. They can’t act. Vicki was not acting. It’s incredibly sad at its core but she’s such a bitch I don’t care and am glad she came off looking horribly. And what’s kind of weirder about her tantrum is did we not have the intro and knowledge she’s a “friend of” she was present enough I’d have thought full cast. How odd too Gina digging in at the younger sister comment by Brownwimd (I’ll allow her to feel slighted but I didn’t see it that way) yet her quick acceptance and forgiveness of Kelly’s lack of accomplishment comment. The fuck?

If they want last or first, they’ll type as needed or direct you that way if it’s truly necessary. If the characters beginning of an account number are meaningless to the rep they’ll not let you know and just type what matters. You’re being almost too accommodating, Just say I’m Kelly Smith and account number is Qse157 when asked. If it really matters they should prompt you (last 4 of acct-# listed under address eg) but if not there’s no expectation you should know a system. They often have to do all of that validation process before determining if they can even help you- so save details of issue until asked to make sure you’re sent to correct dept it’s not the same to the previous Rock Wilder etc but similar. I read a posting (not here) where someone said in disgust to an unjust situation “it really is a doggie doggie world” and that has never sounded so innocent.

You all are prolific and I am behind the times so sorry if repeat. But there is a commercial where the opening music sounds like the music used in podcast Serial, season one and for some reason I have such a reaction to it each time. I have no idea who it’s for making this a worse post but it’s so weird my reaction. I suppose at the time I had excitement each time a new installment? Guess the marketing didn’t work since I don’t even know the brand.

I love those commercials so much. He’s like this cool LL Bean environment turkey living a simple life. I’d be his friend and not judge if he lit one up while we wore plaid and talked about our pets.

I think we (greatly including myself) assign human properties to pets. She may not be a good fit with a female. Why? We don’t know bc you’re nice and wonderful and would give her the best life. But she is an animal. It breaks my heart her story- for the dog and her owner. If she’s not the best fit for you- that is because she’s a dog and can’t say those thoughts to herself (this person is awesome and even close to my old stomping ground!). I wish they could. I love your spirit and just overall niceness. I can’t imagine how happy your next pet will be in such a great home. @bosawks What is your car setup? Knox is a frequent traveler in a 4-runner and I’ve got her in a dog bed in the back. That looks secure and intriguing.

When Amber the victim was onscreen in I guess episode two I was like, she kid of reminds me of the victim in Silence of the Lambs. Then the therapist showed up and my mind was like !

I am encouraged by your post @Suzy Rhapsody! Sending nothing but positive and loving thoughts your way!

Absolutely. If we all had the gift of future. Even today at work I had an issue where I’ll never do x again. Now I know But I think that’s it. For people like me and @Suzy Rhapsody daughter we need a swift kick in the ass of the real world variety to see. Parents loving sometimes just isn’t enough. So much ego.

No easy answers here and I’m sorry. Wise minds have given you great advice. Under the heading of easier said than done I wonder if not looking at call and text logs would be helpful. There isn’t much to gain for your happiness (which matters!) to see if she talked to her dad or was at the wrong part of town at a late hour. I was raised by any definition wonderful parents who would then and now do anything for me. Around 18 I started hanging out with a less than desirable crowd. I got into trouble, my grades fell and I had zero fucks to give for anyone but myself and a good time. I don’t know specifics, maybe from selective forgetfulness or substance driven but I was horrible to them and absolutely blew off and ruined occasions like birthdays. Or maybe I’d show up acting like I was doing them a favor, massively hungover, and leave early. They aren’t the tough love variety, and cell phones weren’t like they are today, so they’d just not hear from me. Had it been today on a call no doubt I’d hit the ignore button. While they weren’t tough love and always had a warm bed and meal when I like a loser showed up, that’s not what got me. My poor decision making finally caught up with me and I dealt with true consequences around my mid 20s. Of nearly every aspect of my life. And I turned around. I was still a jerk I feel until around my mid 30s. Something changed and I really don’t know what- late maturity?. No doubt my wonderful parents (which you by all readings a wonderful mom) were a backbone for me and I knew better. But it took life knocking me down to get my act together. I say that to say our paths often go a way our parents never intended but it can and I believe often works out. My sister was raised by same parents and I think her worst infraction might have been she said “damn” once. Sometimes I wonder if they wished they had stopped at her!

Who knew we are along so many hotties! I was told I look like Roz from Frazier one time. That seems so lower level @JTMacc99 I have some very important things to talk you about. Just work. I kid but damn!

Yes! Thankfully I haven’t been jacked so much but yes! Please be careful. Look for the lock sign when you input anything. Heck Ive pretty much told myself I’d use only credit cards and only known sites to order. I didn’t fight this because what do you do say I was an idiot and fell for a scam? But they are so good! Please make sure you buy from only reputable sites. I feel like an idiot but worse wish I had got my pops the shoes he wanted. I hate thieves.

-This is a PSA. I consider myself a very good online shopper. My father loves and does well with Brooks Beast (he’s 72). He has neuropathy so they treat him well. I ordered him the latest model from Nordstrom and sadly they didn’t work for his inserts. I googled the previous model and found a site where I could get 2 price for the price (not as crazy as it sounds- model before he wears an 8.5m). I order from Brooks.com....and then. I’m charged 140 - it was Brookeae.com. charged by a Chinese character site. I go to my bank. They say that’s normal. This week I got a bracelet from China that can’t be worth more than 2 dollars that says “i love you”. I chalk it up as shame on my I was stupid. Please make sure you’re always on a secure site. Sorry if double post. Make sure you buy from secure site
