Also w the gun thing, I have no illusion I’ll protect us In the event of a break in. It won’t be armed or in reach. It’s more about having for an unspecified anxiety that I have about being surrounded by gun owners but not armed myself. I have more anxiety about a break in than neighbors with guns. Both are probably not a likely fear to come true lol But I also have door and window alarms and dead bolt even on my basement door (which is also for child safety)

I joined a Buy Nothing facebook group, and it's just what my wasteful ass needed. I was very prone to just throwing shit out, but now I can snap a picture and post it and it's gone within the day. I am looking forward to listing 85% of the crap in my garage in the spring.

We just watched Hamilton for the first time last night, and I liked it but definitely am not in the "OMG this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen" fan club. Plus it ended on a sour note for me with Eliza's brief little epilogue about all the amazing things she did after Alexander's death. I felt cheated and annoyed that there wasn't more about her. Hamilton is amazing, and I listen to the soundtrack regularly. But I do wish Lin would make a musical about Eliza. The story seemed unfinished.

I’d rather eat a bagel from Dunkin than a donut. GTFO I said what I said.

I have a confession. I have a crush on a co-worker. He is 70 years old. 😳 Do you work in the white house? 😉

My confession is that I love donuts from DD. I pretty much love all donuts except the ones that have too much shit on them. We have a family owned donut place by us that is by far the best donuts ever but you have to go early in the morning to get them.

I recently bought a new vibrator for a not small amount of money and I don’t like it, it’s too big. That feels confession worthy Oh well look who does her kegels!!!

I confess I've been lying to my mom about feeding the fish every day. I've skipped several days. Lying because she believes with her whole heart they need fed twice a day & they absolutely just do not. It makes the water merky & messes with all the oxygen/ph balance nonsense. I've told her like 6 times shes overfeeding them, but she can't stop/won't stop with it, so I lie & tell her I already have. *if you don't fish, fish are fine for several days/even weeks without being fed. They will munch on whatever crud they find in the rocks. I'm not skipping weeks, just days here & there. My dad, the fish enthusiast with four tanks agrees with you. Your mom is going to kill them if she’s feeding them that much. Yes it totally will IDK why I can't get her to understand this!

I've only been to DD once and I was not impressed. But I also don't care for donuts that much. They are way too sugary, so I will only get them once in a while. Who is going to DD for the donuts? You go to DD for the "coffee", duh. (I haven't read the thread, don't @ me!)
Haha, I went with MH and he got a coffee, and I tried donuts (not a coffee drinker). They were not terrible, but again, I don't really eat a lot of donuts from anywhere.

So I confessed before that I knew a few ladies that were actively tracking down people who were at the Capitol in my area and reporting them to the FBI and how it was making me nervous. Anyway, I have since overcame those nervous feelings. In updated news - one of the people created a gofundme account for legal fees ![(puke)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sick.png) The ladies I know have had the gofundme taken down. The woman then went to paypal. She contacted paypal and reported it to them. That account got taken down. So now the woman that was at the Capitol made a post saying she didn't need the money anyway. LOL I am now watching everything unfold with glee and not nerves. I fucking love all of this.

It’s more about having for an unspecified anxiety that I have about being surrounded by gun owners but not armed myself. I felt the same but I have grabbed mine a time or two in the past when H was traveling out of town and I was home alone with the boys overnight. Reason number 1843 that he could never just drive through the night and sneak in and surprise me. When we did our class, our instructor set up these panels to be like walls and had silhouette targets on the back wall and a table with a fake phone on it for us to practice in case of an intruder type set up. We had to work our way through the maze of "walls", stop at the phone to dial 911 and state there was an intruder and we feared for our life, then continue through to find the intruder and shoot. It sounds silly but it really got my adrenaline pumping and I was so nervous but after I did it, I felt a lot better about that scenario. And our instructor told H to never surprise me and maybe always announce his presence in our house.

I confessed before that i (& the kids but for now, I) inherited several guns when my dad died. I don't gun, I mean TETO but they just make me nervous so I don't.
I do have bullets for the one small handgun, but I would 100% use my bat on an intruder as my go-to saving device. Once I got him/her down with that I may remember theres a gun in the safe lol

My confession is that Every time we talk about doughnuts I can never remember if it’s dunkin or Krispy Kreme the one we have here. I find doughnuts to be the same no matter what the chain so maybe that’s why. It’s all the same to me. Oh no. I can taste sugar OD with Krispy Kreme.

I get it STP . I recently sent away for bear mace and have thought about getting H’s gun out of storage. Wasp spray is better than mace. You can use it from further away and it will send them to the ER (more likely to get caught) instead of just waiting for it to stop burning. I've never personally used it but I have read it as a tip many times. that and a lighter with get a person back off you Lol

I made my kid cry this one time because she wanted the last chocolate doughnut and I refused to give it to her because that bitch was mine. There were like 7 other ones in the box too. Her favorite is the glazed one. So she was just being irrational. She said I was the worst. I am kid. I am.

I am not going to shoot an intruder. What if it was one of my kids? It's not an option that it comes out at night when I hear a peep.

No I don't think my love of true crime has had any negative impact, why?

Once I got him/her down with that I may remember theres a gun in the safe lol When my grandpa was sick (alzhiemers) I remember asking my grandma if I could borrow his shot gun to go hunting with H (I didn't have one at the time because my parents never taught me shit about shooting a gun, that was all H) and when she got the safe opened up he had something like 16 guns in there in total. As all the kids (my mom and her siblings and all the spouses) got talking, each one knew about 1 or 2 guns and nobody knew about the same 2 guns. It was half comical and half scary. But he used to do a lot of work for people around town and sometimes they would pay him with a shotgun or whatever. Eventually my grandma numbered each of the guns and had each kid draw numbers until they were split between them all. I'm still bitter that my cousin had borrowed one of the guns (the one I had borrowed before and loved) and just never returned it so my grandma said he could just have it. It's been like 7 or 8 years now. But I'm still bitter.

I should save this for next Thursday but it will be gone from my memory forever by then.
I LOVE KK donuts, they're my favorite "chain" donut, but I do not like them hot. They're just too....oily/sweet/something when they're hot. Makes me sick to my stomach.

I put chocolate chip cookies in the fridge. I love crunchy cookies.

I am looking forward to listing 85% of the crap in my garage in the spring. I love my local buy nothing group. I have never taken anything anyone is offering but have given so much away. The joy people have when they get something they really want fills me up. H now gives me things and says “how fast can you get rid of this?” And gets tickled when I report back on how many people wanted the thing.
