I was just invited to a party

Itโ€™s settled! Clean-house excuse it is. ๐Ÿ˜„

Gotcha. That makes it a little harder. I saw โ€œpartyโ€, โ€œpubโ€, โ€œdogs allowedโ€ and assumed it was a less formal event.

Dog got sick? Work needed you? Date that you forgot about? Honestly- โ€œIโ€™ve been slacking on house work and really need to get some stuff done.โ€ Is perfectly sufficient and most people wonโ€™t think twice about it. (Even if youโ€™ll sit there all night thinking about how theyโ€™re plotting against you and mocking your horrible excuse- theyโ€™re really not.)

Whatever excuse you make, people probably wonโ€™t even care much. Or you can suck it up and go and just get it over with. Try to come up with a fun conversation you can have with somebody!

As a fellow introvert, I totally understand.

With those things- I usually โ€œmake an appearanceโ€ then sneak out. Walk in, make a point to say hi to the people that would actually notice, then make a subtle exit.

If anybody asks about it later, say you were there, but took off as the party was dying down to get home before traffic. (Or some other excuse.)

In and out in 10 minutes. ๐Ÿ˜„

Any sign of JZ?

Just saying.

Not a CEO by any means. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly- I donโ€™t care what anybody says to/about me. But his insults were all blanket statement and crude for users.

I think Jeb had more than plenty of leeway, he has a habit of foul language, which is fine. But the post was a political bashing post, which is great for Facebook, but far from helpful and ends in people getting worked up and offended 99% of the time. He was given a warning not to continue, and instead of dropping it, he chose to throw a tantrum and insult others. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Political posts are welcome in the pretense of educating and understanding in an unbiased manner. If the post is created with the intention of calling out supporters of one person or another, then thatโ€™s not okay- even for Jeb. (Or any other user)

I really am grateful to be in this place surrounded by old friends.

I think I think the best way to โ€œhelpโ€ each other is to just be available on here to guide through problems and bad situations! I know a lot of people have family troubles around the holidays (Wish it was the opposite) so being here to just be a shoulder I think is a very worthwhile gift to those in need!

I just tried doing a second set of exercises for the day...

Iโ€™ve got messed up ankles/knees. Iโ€™m in the worst shape of my life, and have more joint issues than most 60 year-olds... havenโ€™t been able to work out in a long time. Trying to get myself to do little things- but like you said, my expectations for what I want to be able to do are so high that itโ€™s difficult to stay motivated. ๐Ÿ˜ž

But I guess the thing to keep in mind is that every little bit helps when you are progressing! You have to start low and slowly work your way up!

You can hover over a censored word (with a mouse) to reveal it. ๐Ÿ˜„

Iโ€™m glad there is a globally accepted way to manage anxiety with you people. ๐Ÿ˜…

I just started renting a room.

Or, if he refuses, you can probably get a pair of Boise cancelling ear buds/headphones yourself and drown it out.

New Feature: Editing Replies

Iโ€™ve been thinking a bit about that one. Maybe just allowing a user to have the same โ€œremoveโ€ ability that mods have, but only for their own replies.
