After school today we're  going to a pool party for someone's birthday in our grade.  Then at 8 I'm racing go carts with Michael at an indoor track, then playing black light mini golf for our 3rd actual date (I don't count the afternoons we're together after school). Dad's off work this afternoon/tonight, so he'll pick us up from the pool party for the date.

That is wonderful news!!! I'm so very happy for you!!!!

Thanks so much. Already got an appointment for a senior housing spot for next week. It's a room for my own head-space home, so I can finish my work.

Sending good thoughts your way, Davie!!! You know we are here for you!!!!

Hi Dexxter, I am one of the guys on here, but I've been mostly quiet. I feel like the ladies are chattier, i know that's stereotypical, but it seems like the guys need a topic to talk about. They will help with a problem, but to come up with something to just chat about seems less frequent for the guys. It's like they need a specific topic prompt. All that to say, you are absolutely welcome here and guys exist here and are friendly. Even if this thread is super quiet, feel free to post anything you want to it. You might get some replies.

Good on you, Kat!  That's an impressive feat (or feet).  I manage 1.5 - 2 miles per day walking as fast as I can (which, honestly, ain't that fast).  But I'm 71, so I'm happy.  Keep it going!   Carolyn Marie

A friend got in touch and suggested that i join them on their five and a half mile jog, I said oh i was going to do it as a walk, walk? yeah, " come on go for the burn", ouch hmmm...... well ok we all met up complete with bottles of water but i was surprised the average age was 18 plus, groan, this is going to hurt, wheres your sports bra? bra, i thought it was a jog not a frickin marathon u trying to kill me? no pain no gain was the chant well after a while my words were all over the place, pain the gain, ouch dam, keep smiling (sadist) not much further, no i replied the cemetery is just round the corner i might just drop in!! needless to say i completed the five and a half miles, no stopping aloud, there u go i bet your feel better for that dont yyou? erm... smiles, well then fancy doing it all over again next week? groans and longs for a bath, some pictures along the way! The things we do to try and look good!!!

Hi Davie,              gosh thats a horrible situation to be in, do you not have tenants rights? we have a policy which gives us alot of different rights and one of them is the length of time you have been a tenant, if the building changes hands we are classed as sitting tenants and as long as we pay rent we cannot be evicted, the only exception is if the building is facing demolition, but even then they have to re house us. Since i live in an old mansion that has protected status it cannot be altered or demolished, good luck but please check your rights, are there any charities that could advise you?

Thanks @IvyIt went well and at least it's over. I took advantage of having enough presence of mind to ask questions and get assurances of how best to proceed and to hear from the new landlady directly about her welcome attitude to make my move a good and smooth operation. D e e p. b r e a t h. We gather a good attitude and move ahead one step at a time. Thanks again.

@DavieI hope you end up in a better situation.

Libs of TickTock strikes again.   The transphobes seem to be the ones with an actual "Transgender Ideology".

Well, they "know" that most of us regret transitioning.  Now they just have to find some evidence to back that up.  That's called science, in this administration.   It's obvious that anyone satisfied with their transition is simply deluded and mentally ill.  It is in the best interest of all concerned, that they should receive appropriate "treatment" to cure them of these delusions.  It may seem a little harsh, but you know - eggs and omelets and all.   This frightening woke-transgender-mind-virus needs to be nipped in the bud before it spreads anymore than it has.  This administration has made this a priority, for the good of the country.   MAGA!

Feeling anxious about my housing just now. At 77, I'm not so good with change. In a few minutes the new landlord for this building is coming to view my apartment so I can be evicted. I've known for awhile this might happen. And I have a plan for a new place to live which should be an improvement, but it's all scary for me. Say a prayer for my serenity and dignity this morning. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for reading. Peace.

Still on a Keystone Conference high!

Today, allow yourself to find peace in the simple act of noticing the present moment, and embrace the quiet strength that comes from stillness.    Here are some additional thoughts to promote tranquility: Focus on the present: Instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, try to fully engage with the current experience.    Practice mindfulness: Pay attention to your breath, your surroundings, and your thoughts without judgment.    Embrace stillness: Find a quiet space and allow yourself to simply be, without the need to constantly do or achieve something.    Practice gratitude: Take a moment to appreciate the good things in your life, no matter how small.    Engage in gentle activities: Consider activities like reading, listening to calming music, or spending time in nature that can help to soothe your mind and body.    "Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles; it takes away today's peace" - Randy Armstrong    "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" - Franklin Delano Roosevelt    "Peace begins with a smile" - Mother Teresa
