What advice would you give to someone who feels like they don't know how to make any friends?
Damn, I wish I knew, so I could take my own advice.It seems that the only way I’ve found is to look for organized groups or events that are shared interests. For example, a soccer fan club or a novel writer’s group or a character fandom. Sometimes it works out and you make friends. Sometimes it doesn’t because maybe they’re too aggressive or can’t get along or you simply don’t feel comfortable or connected. People are complicated. All we can do is make an effort to reach out, and see what happens.
If you were realistically gonna cook something to impress someone else, what'd you cook? 👩🍳
I would ask them what they would like me to cook, and probably cook that.If I’m cooking for myself for my birthday or other special occasion, it’s usually something like shrimp and grits, shrimp scampi, crab alfredo or shrimp and crab gumbo. Pescetarian Cajun Italian fusion seems to be my go-to.But what the eater likes matters.
Would you rather call yourself a landcrab 🦀 or a fish in the water? 🐟 How do you feel about being near / in the water? What about being underwater? 😶
Definitely a land crab. I live on a coastline but have to stay out of the water.
Have you ever paid someone to give you a massage?
Or maybe when you're walking through the malls & there's those people sitting on the ends on the hallways.
Have you ever stopped & paid them to give you a massage before?
Or maybe sat in their massage chairs?
(Keep this appropriate please)
Nah, I’m not into random people touching me. Maybe I’ll try a chair someday. I do own a seat cushion heat and massage thing that I happen to be leaning my back against as we speak.
i am so sorry about that...are you careful around water i hope?
Thank you. I am, yes. I don’t swim or get in boats. I do enjoy being near water (I live on a coastline) but have to keep a safe distance.
No. I have muscular dystrophy with catastrophic episodes of weakness and paralysis triggered by muscle activity. I’ve had episodes in a pool that could have ended me. It is not worth the risk.
I have episodes of myotonia in my neck and legs sometimes. I alternate between heat and cold packs, use a magnesium topical gel, and take a daily magnesium supplement to reduce the occurrences, with success. I recommend caution with magnesium tablets due to digestive side effects. Always start with the lowest dose if you try it, but a topical gel at the very least is worth the investment. I’m sorry you’re in pain. It debilitates me when this happens. It is far worse than just a cramp, but magnesium was the answer for me. I hope this helps.
My bro felt it important to keep our branch of the family tree alive, so we’re all relieved to learn that the new (possibly last) baby is a boy. Normally I’m not into patriarchy (to say the least!) but I’m happy our genealogy will carry on for at least one more generation. Everybody is excited.
FYI I’m still 35 questions behind.I wouldn’t tell hardly anyone. SSA of course, and a few relatives would be told. There are plenty of people I wouldn’t want to find out.
What are some of the most unusual or interesting things you do to amuse yourself when you're bored?
I really can’t think of anything. Sorry. I’m just not that interesting. Yesterday I sponsored a cockroach named after my ex. It was fed to a bird at the zoo, LOL. I don’t have a big sense of humor but that’s one of the funnier things I’ve done. The zoo got $5 and I got a good laugh for Valentine’s Day.
