We all get our toes stomped on for one reason or another. Since you specifically said you believe them when they tell you I figured you were actually talking to people and getting their experiences first hand. My mistake.

FWIW, if I click on a story about a certain subject then I'm flooded with similar stories and soon it seems the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket.

I like chocolate chip cookies.

Some are personal stories like G having to break up problems at his store every couple of days. (Not my only personal example but the most relevant one right now.) There's also *plenty* that aren't. Statistically some people get their toes stomped more than others. I'd be a really crummy friend to the people who had that happen if I didn't acknowledge how big of a problem it was.

Yes, that too. Go gray and you can dye easily
Perfect!

Unfortunately for me... I've seen my elderly relatives on both sides of my family. We don't go gray, at least not very much. My maternal grandfather still had mostly black hair into his 90s.

That's actually pretty amazing!

LOL I literally don't own t-shirts, I either steal them from hubby as needed or there's like one or two that other people gave to me. I only wear them for exercise or gardening... sweaty stuff basically.

I'm not really a shoe person (hubby disagrees), but by "not really" I mean like a dozen pairs of heels and like 8 pairs of boots maybe? That doesn't seem excessive.

Oooh purses. Let me see if I can find a photo of some of mine... oh, here we go. And yes there's more on another wall, and behind the door :

I have a million cause I have a band merch/concert addiction

I guess that’s why I’ve never really been a “girly girl.” I spend all my money on bands and the animals

And that’s not too many!! Some people have like hundreds LOL I have a lot of sneakers but most I never wear anymore.

And ooooohhhh those purses are cool!! I was thinking you had like super fancy ones or something haha mine is just a black travel one

I’ve never really been very girly. Don’t know why. Probably has to do with being the only girl and having two brothers bit of a tom boy lol plus my mom isn’t really either/just never taught me. And also I HATE most girly clothes. They are so uncomfortable. I have an issue with uncomfortable clothes. idk why but certain stuff I just cannot wear.

Girl I cannot tell you how many times I dyed this hair. The worst was going jet black then back to blonde. It fried da crap outta my hair.

Oh wow that’s a drastic change!! Haha

Oh wow that’s pretty cool!! I started going grey in high school.

I've been told that gray hair is extremely hard to dye out /cover. I don't know for myself

In high school I had a few gray hairs and pulled them out. Then I realized I was getting too many bald spots. I'm much past high school and embraced the gray hair - which is now much more silver than gray. I love it and let it grow long, it's halfway down my back. If people don't like it -they can look elsewhere.

Today D suggested we make a babka. For those who are uninformed a babka is a twisty loaf of bread that is filled with chocolate and butter and takes a million years to make properly.

When I first made it with my sister she kept getting frustrated with it and was like; "This is something your grandma makes from an old family recipe when you come to visit, and then passive-aggressively talks about how long she slaved over the stove for it because you never come visit, but also how it's no problem at all so please eat as much as you want 'cause you're too skinny. And take one home for the road too, because you won't be by to see her again any time soon and she wants you to think of her." It takes like a full 2-3 days to make.

D described it as "That old sad grandma food" as a result. I'm not sure I wanna put forth the effort though it'd be a great time killer. After all, it's not like anyone I can guilt trip is gonna be visiting me! XD

I don't carry a purse, I never have. I've always felt like an idiot carrying one. I don't know why. If I use anything, it's a messenger bag. I also don't like the girly girl look either. Big shirts is where it's at.

Yeah, I used to pull mine but then I heard the bald spot thing too so I stopped. Or mostly. Still have a bad habit of pulling some. but not big clumps anymore haha
