Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Little bit of house work, little bit of fun, little bit of Netflix in bed. Just got a patio griddle so we're enjoying watching recipe videos.

The same thing we do every week Pinky (Except last week when we were on holiday)

I ate something weird. All plans are put on hold, new plans are to turtle up until I feel better and I can eat, drink, and sleep normally.

For once it's not just work! There's still plenty of work, though: Monday is the first day of school and we're pulling out all the school uniforms, making sure everything fits, seeing where the gaps are. Backpacks are already stuffed with necessary supplies. So the last thing is to soak up as much pool and waterslide fun as we can!

I was supposed to go hiking but the weather won't allow it, so I'll go next weekend instead !

I think it’s going to be a lazy weekend around the house. But the weather looks to be decent so I think I’ll try to find something outdoorsy to do with the preteen.
