10/22 - Make Stuff Monday!

[Carrion.]

you said inquisit. i say no thanks not doing it.

I just said screw it, seemed like an easy task. Frankly, I'll probably be doing the same and avoiding cheap Inquisit HITs, as it wouldn't allow me to alt tab and I'm multitasking at work.

Date but tell them your dream so they know that if it happens your outta there and they can either follow or stay.
idk. I'm so glad I'm married and don't have to worry about dating.

Age really is an illusion. I watched my grandpa bike his way up a volcano on Hawaii when he was 90 years old.

I do understand where you are coming from, though, about settling. You could actively search for someone who has the same dream as you. Believe it or not, they are out there.

There's nothing wrong with casual dating. Not every partner needs to be a potential life partner, as long as you're honest about your intentions when you begin to get closer with someone.

I am pretty much incapable of casual dating. I've tried over the past year. Either my heart gets massively broken or I break someones heart, even when intentions are made clear, feelings don't cooperate lol. I'm very much an all or nothing person, unfortunately.

i spent nearly 6 years of my life with someone who told me that had the same dreams, and thought I would never have to date again. It's not a reality I appreciate every morning, that it's not the status anymore lol. "People are unknowable. You can never really know what goes on inside someone else’s heart." quote from broadchurch.

and physically i have to worry about aging. I try to stay active and ahead of the game, but I have some inflammatory/auto immune issues and have had back problems since age 13. it's already an uphill battle and i'm not even 30. *grimace*

i'm going to end my complaining now. life sucks, could be worse, could be better. either way, it'll go on.

My son has medicaid because of his autism. We make too much for arkids a & b, so we have TEFRA. Which has a monthly premium based on your income. Since it's medicaid he can't have over $2000 in his savings acccount. Got a letter Friday saying that they got information he has over $2000 in there. wtf...he has less than $1100. Where are they getting their information? I'm kind of ticked. Going to bank today to get a print out signed and then scanning it and emailing them.

the hoops you have to jump through for that stuff is ridiculous.

I know!! They also wanted us to put him on my husband's insurance..if we did that they would pay for all our insurance and we could get the tefra for free..so we wouldn't be paying for anything
That seemed like too much work and not needed. lol

I believe you will get to where you want to be.

I was 35 when I went through divorce number 2. I was convinced my life was over. Approaching middle age, borderline diabetic, fat, out of shape and uninspired by anything in life. Too depressed to care about anything. It was realizing that everyone I cared about had given up on me that inspired me to take back control of my life. Fuck other people. Fuck expectations. Fuck conventions of society. I decided to go after life, no holds barred - and nothing was going to hold me back.

Now I'm 42, own a successful jewelry business, have a lot going for me. Married again, have awesome kids.

I'm not even where I want to be...yet. I will be a storm chase photographer someday. Until then I practice, prepare, and learn until I won't only just hold my head above water at what I do - but I will be among the elite.

Will the people in my life follow me? I don't know. If they don't then fuck them. I will find people who will be there with me.

Just don't put pressure on yourself that nobody else is putting on you and don't let societal expectations get inside your head. Psyching yourself out is the most dangerous game you can play...and you will NEVER win with that.

this came in this morning about the failed AC on that Impression Formation ($1.25) study from last week:
