I loved the Cure, The Smiths, The Velvet Underground, the Violent Femmes, New Order, all that stuff. Everyone might regret their love for Motley Crue but I actually like Def Leppard and some of my musical choices were regrettable too. Depeche Mode was not that great, lol!

That was my post. I'm sorry if made anyone feel 'less than' because of their music choices. I was just a kid, trying to make my way and be cool and be like my brothers. And also how the HELL did you know it was Motley Crue I was regretting. Seriously, you were 100% dead on. And the music I'm now getting into that I feel like I should have been listening to all along are things like Radiohead and The Cure.

Thanks for this. When I was a kid, my friends and I listened to whatever music we liked and were ridiculed by people who didn't get it. As we got older I saw those same people get into the stuff that my friends and I were into in high school. At the time they bullied us for our style. Whatever. it's all good now, but it cracks me up. None of them want to talk about how they were huge Motley Crue fans, lol.

I hate that when I was a kid, I listened to whatever music everybody else listened to, and ridiculed what they didn't like. I followed my brothers and friends blindly. Now that I'm older, I feel like I really missed out on what I SHOULD have been listening to, and what really would have resonated with me at that age. I mean, I listened to some real garbage. Tryna be cool. Missed out on a lot of stuff.

Here here. Doctors are f*cking useless in this aspect. I skip the doctor and bingewatch TED talks on anxiety. It helps. Marginally.

Doctors: "We don't want to prescribe anti-anxiety medicine because you may become dependent on it but also why are you drinking so much?" Me: "I'm probably self-medicating to cope with anxiety." Doctors: "Well stop that." Me: "What about the anxiety though?" Doctors:

My weight loss slowed down a lot during the holidays but I'm still at it and today I am officially 35 pounds lighter. Seven pounds from my goal weight!

My (step)kids don’t even bother sending us anything, and haven’t for the last four years. They’re gonna be real surprised next Christmas when we follow their lead and don’t send them anything.

A couple Christmases ago, my adult stepdaughter sent us three t-shirts. One had a saying on it (don't remember what, exactly, something along the lines of "Life's a Beach"), one had the name of her state and the other had the logo of the sporting goods store she must have gotten them at. Sizes S, M, L. DS is 6'2", DH is an XXL, and I could barely get the L over my double D's. I got a very "3 for $20" vibe from it. They all went to Goodwill.

Tell me the dumbest gift anyone has ever gotten you. I'm go first. My husband got me a Nintendo switch. I'm a 41 year old woman. He asked for a Xmas list and I gave it to him. I literally never, ever, EVER play video games. He will not be playing it, either. I'm super pissed and am going to donate it. I don't care if I sound ungrateful. What a stupid waste of money! You?
