Nothing lol.
Yep, we just move on
Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.
Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.
I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.
I did a similar project a few years ago with stones, old logs and repurposed rebar. It was sooo rewarding, especially after the plants matured.
Hopefully, i get my drivers license! Exam is on June 23th.
I’m 43, always been taking care of my parents. Getting my drivers license is the first thing i do “on my own” so im pretty excited! Then i’ll spend the next 6 months enjoying not having to go through public transportation :)
Remember to check your blind spots and don’t rush anything. Good luck!
In the end i got so nervous i crossed the lines with 2 wheels on the highway, so i failed the exam :(
After the summer holidays i have a second attempt, my instructor and i are sure this time i wont be so nervous, so i’ll pass :)
good luck!
Thank you :)
Good for you, friend!
drive safely
Thank you :)
My month vacation in Japan.
Trump heart attack
Season finale
We can only hope
Trump has a stroke and tells stories about his pp and republicans still pretend all is honky dory.
I hope Trump does a reverse Fetterman: has a stroke and becomes a kind person.
Can you imagine the absolute mind fuck that would be for MAGA people? LOL
I’m not convinced he hasn’t had a few already.
i’ll get a cash bonus once the probationary period is up at my new job, which i can use to knock like 10% off of the cost of my mortgage.
a friend of mine is getting bottom surgery and i’m looking forward to it for them, it’s nice that people around me are happy.
also, dunno if it’s something to look forward to exactly but if it turns out i do have hypertension and i can get on exforge i may not only be rid of my chronic headaches but also figure out if i actually have adhd, since amlodipine apparently lessens the symptoms. it would be nice to be able to do things.
Graduating highschool (hopefully)
You can do it!
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Life is very hopeless for me right now.
hey stranger, hoping things will be better for you soon
Me too.
I’m going to get my commercial drone license and start doing freelance work to supplement my main job that doesn’t pay too well. Very excited.
It’s my 25th birthday on the 25th of this month, and I’m really looking forward to it. My boss is amazing - he always throws me a lavish party and gets me awesome gifts. While my official title is Personal Assistant, the position is actually more of a companionship role.
that’s a good combination, happy birthday
Thank you!
I would love to hear more about your job, without any dangerous details of course.
Sure. Just ask your questions and I’ll answer.
Can you define what “companionship” entails?
Eating with him, travelling with him, going out with him, hanging out with him, sex, etc. I’m live-in, so all the companionship a man needs. Technically a de facto personal assistant does a lot of work related stuff, but I don’t really, he has other people for that. Which is why the only “requirements” for this job were good looks and good personality. No previous work experience or higher education required. An acquaintance linked me up when I was 20.
I don’t mean this in a demeaning way, but isn’t that just an escort + prostitution?
You’re getting paid for company is one, getting paid for sex is two.
Personally, I don’t see it that way, because I’m not getting paid for sex. I’m getting paid for company - which is a whole thing on its own - just so happens it also includes sex.
What you listed is what escorts do, minus the sex. Hence why I combined the two professions.
Do you have a partner? If so, how does your work influence your private life?
Fascinating. Is there a large age gap? My daughter thought about pursuing this with a guy a couple years ago, but she wanted to get out of sex work so that was a no-go.
Do you enjoy the work, and is it considered “work” on both sides, as in no expectation of romantic intimacy?
Yeah. I enjoy it. It’s work on both sides. This guy is very pragmatic which is why he wants this kind of arrangement in the first place. No nonsense, no waste of time (aka dating). Just a guaranteed good time. That’s his philosophy.
That’s a great way to look at it. Are there any provisions for severance if there comes a time where that arrangement needs to be terminated?
I also want you to know that in no way am I judging what you do for work, to me it’s just work, but I know a lot of people would have different opinions.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy
CT scans every 4 months… probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I’m just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority…
Thats so sad to read :(
I wish you all the best! Hopefully things get better!
I’m just hoping to get through the next 6 months, and then the next 3 years, without the government harassing me or my family.
I’m hoping to move back to the town where my friends and family live. I’ve been in my current place for a few years, and it’s fine, but I feel like my life is on hold.
I’m kind of looking forward to my kids getting a little more mature. Parenting lil kids is not what I’m cut out for. But it’s bittersweet - that gets them closer to moving out and starting their lives without me.
Feeling like your life is on hold is such an interesting and familiar feeling. Years can go by this way. Good luck! I hope it happens soon.
Preach. Thanks for the kind words.
Quitting my job for the end the year, a job that is making depressed and tired.
Opening my own business with blackjack and hookers (for real tho, opening a shop in my city).
