Thank you for your kind words and this thread has really taken off since you have joined.
I am very glad that you are here as I do enjoy your sense of humour.
I believe that you have @gaffk to thank for that gentle tap on the shoulder.

My husband came in and shared this joke with me:
"I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes.
She hugged me"
I was not the only one laughing in the room.

Thanks to gaffk too. I love your avatar and gaffk’s also. The totoro one not so much. That mod had to give a very kind and gentle talking to to me. I think I am traumatized for life. Love totoro so much. I have been waiting for the internet all my life and am still in awe of it, We all have our own jukeboxes now. #breathes into a paper bag. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t-s&ei=UTF-8&p=My+Neighbor+Totoro#id=43&vid=2ec8a37cf88cb3fc8671e229d3e1067f&action=view

Ha ha ha. Had fun at wegmans tonight. It was strange. To avoid the whole buying stuff and then not using it I force myself to wear an article of clothing within 48 hours of buying it. So I put on this purty dress with flowers. It was not even low cut. I swear. Within one minute two youngish middle aged men were courtly to me. One by produce and one in the beer section In the NE of the usa. They practically bowed to me. I will take my life affirmations where I find them.

Awww. Will you please trust me that I was trying to tell you something important in that post? If you like you can send me a pm because you might be going all “Lucy you have some splaining to do” on me. I had a reason dang it. I’m sorry please forgive me.
Soooo. Ulp. How was your time in Philly? Where did you go to eat? I’ll bet it was fantastic. #whimpers

Good things sometimes happen when you least expect them. Trite but true. I was attending grad school to get my master’s in el ed and I was already feeling lucky and happy. My professors loved me. I was there to learn. Weird I know. I already understood that I would miss these classes even before I graduated. I don’t know if it is true now but teachers were required to take so many credits to keep their jobs apparently. I was strolling into my class, something to do with educational psychology when my professor handed out a test to take. Just for fun. She meant it. I was the last one to finish and she gave me a tiny knowing smile. My prof was the head of the psychology dept. for a huge school district and had her own private practice so she was well qualified to administer the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. We did our scores to receive our types. No biggie whatever. I was already thinking a little about what to eat for dinner. Test changed and transformed my life. The teacher read from a book called Gifts Differing. After class I pleaded to borrow it. It is my bible. I don’t know if you are familiar with the movie Harvey but reading the book felt like the rabbit spirit was changing the words just for me. I felt seen. The book is meant to be read in short bursts. I am INFP and the book, written by Myers Briggs says that some of the other types think that INFPs are rudderless ships drifting aimlessly through life. Bingo. INFPs think that some of the other types are barely alive. Well yeah. I have no one to discuss this book with. I get blank stares or dismissive comments. Even on site talk on chowhound back in the day. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this here as it is very dear to my heart. The prof was also infp and I am positive that she already knew before the test that I was too. Hence that little smile. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gifts+differing+understanding+personality+type&crid=2EA88H1F317VE&sprefix=Gifts+Differing%2Caps%2C62&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_3_15

It was very nice to see her. We just had snacks and drinks at the hotel. Nothing special. She hasn’t changed in appearance but seems much more serious. I’m guessing it’s her workload.

Mentioned you to Jim Leff in response to his latest slog: Jim Leff love the wolf pack reference. Slowly watching teen wolf now. “ornery and irascible people” are hghly undervalued. Many people have the personality of a mild filet of fish. Rough edges are tastier. Found someone on HO to argue with and it is so much fun. He liked it. Jim is very sparing in his likes. All the more special when I get one from him. Happy.

Are you Jimmy’s spurned lover?
I must admit, I am mystified as to your obsession with a washed up has been, Miata or not.
Or perhaps you are Jim, just pranking us in a final glorious FU to all former CHers.

Now that is just plain mean. I enjoy that, plus I get to explain. Two people I really like left my wfd group. Their choice. But that meant that I got to friend them on fb and get to know them better. I am convinced though they never told me this and I would never ask that it was about money. I have seen this in many other sandboxes as well. The one lovely woman wanted an electric stove badly but had to settle for gas again when her old gas stove went to stove heaven. She simply could not afford the extra charges to have things switched over. And some members though kind nice and helpful were so comfortable with their finances that they could not understand this fact. The other woman is a daycare teacher and not exactly rolling in the dough. She came from a big family in northern parts but now lives in Key West with her wonderful two daughters and Four rescue dogs. And a hamster. She still thinks of herself as a northern girl but I have convinced her that I can smell the clean salt air when she types. I call her my pirate queen and she gives me the best advice. For example when I told her about how the lidl manager scolded and humiliated me in front of the entire store she told me that dude would be singing soprano for the rest of his life. If we ever meet in person with her fire and my ice we could take over the world. I can’t afford a new car. The automatic I saddle up now cost 1,800.00. I can’t afford a phone either but I really did enjoy those pics pf the new cars that are manual. Jim loved chowhound and when they lied to him and did not save the archives he was heartbroken. My user name is to honor one of his last posts about chowhound. Please keep your comments coming as I do like it spicy and I am serious. It’s a big job giving me shit and Respectfully can’t do iit all. Seriously thanks
