Today, I decided to try to publicly log the times members try to break threads that are about sensitive topics. How it's gonna work: -I'm gonna post here about threads I see that I'm thinking about reporting, just to have in one place -**I'm going to ignore derailing posts and need for you to ignore them as well** this way the thread isn't a chore to slog through and doesn't lock too quickly. -Instructive contributions welcome; conversations between two users discouraged - if you find yourself responding to the same person more than once, kindly stop. ok.

It`s a poor lady`s Riesling - Mood:Good

Thursday September 19 20198:31:13 PM |

Today, a coworker taught me what a malaphorism is. It's pushing together two sayings, sometimes creating a an absurd, abstract significance. Honorable mentions: -"we'll burn that bridge when we come to it" -"give a man to fish, shame on you. teach a man to fish, shame on me" -"don't count all your chickens in one basket" second place: "it's not "rocket surgery" and my favorite so far: "does the Pope sh*t in the woods?" we talked a bit about koans and groucho marx-isms after that. These days, especially, focused absurdity flows more logically and is more gratifying than conversation on serious topics. Some other things that have happened.. Played D&D for the first time with partner and his buds Pierced my ears, finally I'm having pear cider and it tastes like some sort of wine.

That had woken me up, triggering a series of webmd searches, and then, youthink meanderings It suddenly faded as I opened up the journal entry A sign from the gods Skip the romantic smooshy stuff Life update my family and boyfriend's family had odd mental health related crises simultaneously last week, in the worst bit of it we sort of updated each other, hugged and coped and it was the most healthy sad week I've ever felt a part of. Sometimes I'm away from him the first night after an extended stay together and the shift from doing the dishes together to only having the intimacy of texts and a nightly call feels unbearable. theory: we've experienced widespread linguistic shifts to the point where the 60s and 90s have their own accents (kind of like what's now called the transatlantic in the 50s.) when it's daylight I'll find clips as examples.
