Oh I absolutely would love to have my own place and some acreage but I would not want a huge house at all. I want it small enough to maintain by myself. If I didn't have hobbies that require so much space I would be perfectly happy in a tiny house, but I like to do a lot of different arts and crafts that require some space and have exotic animals that need space for their terrariums and such, so, I need enough room for that, but other than that give me a cozy bed big enough to fit me, a kitchen big enough to cook in and a bathroom big enough to keep clean in and I'm happy. Oh and windows, I'd like lots of natural light plz.

It'll never happen lol but yeah I don't dream of some huge mansion that would be useless to me.

They do but I find it so cute. I’m always just happy to make him happy and feel loved

Different people process fear differently.

Screaming is not one of my regular reactions to fear stimuli. If anything, I get quieter.

In my childhood home it was Earl Gray tea with honey and heavy cream. We each - my sister and I - had a delicate fine china tea cup and saucer dedicated to this single purpose.

Sweet earl gray with cream is still calming and comforting ☺️

Thanks for the support. I’m also medicated and therapated! I’m just learning how to ease my way back to steady instead of struggling against it which hurts and is exhausting. Hoping to learn how to be kind to myself since I know it will pass.

the duck screaming would’ve had me crying. Kids really find the dumbest things hilarious 😂

On the rare occasion I have time to myself I like to listen to an audiobook while I do a jigsaw puzzle

I've prevented myself from getting hassled by those jerks by actively talking to the person I'm with about how I'm avoiding or ignoring the salesperson. For example,

"Oh, that reminds me of the time right now when we had to pass a booth in the mall and a salesperson was trying to get my attention but I just kept talking to you as we walked away from them."

"Have you ever noticed how it's easier to ignore these annoying people when you're in the middle of a conversation with another person?"

"So I was wondering if we could walk past this kiosk without being hassled or interrupted, and I really think we could do it as long as I keep talking!"

It was so much fun and so sweet! He would growl at them and I’d scream in the “duck’s voice” and then he’d buck them off his head and laugh like a little maniac

Currently, it's Ms. Rachel who's kind of a role model to me. Also, I recently saw a video of The Wiggles covering some Pop song. I wFxhe x them play, and oh GOODNESS. This is what I see some people mock!? They're legit, talented musicians, and they're bringing that skill to kids, introducing them to skill wrapped in goofy, kid-friendly packaging.

The series is called Like A Version if youre interested in checking it out.

The malls that do well in my city are the ones with higher end designer stores. I think the in person shopping experience is still preferred to buying online at that level and there is no financial incentive like a discounted price on their websites.

Currently for a stores like Gap, Abercrombie etc I can find lower prices and better sales on the website versus in store. Every time I'm at the Gap in person I have to ask them to match the online price because it's always less. There isn't any incentive to go in the store unless to make a return.

That sounds like such a sweet moment 😭 The little “again!” moments are the ones you end up remembering. The duck mountain sounds hilarious too 😂

I don't think malls will ever be like before. They need to be mini amusement parks now. It's like arcades, certain things just last for some time. They we most likely always exist but will never have that same draw.

Our mall has had success with more experiences like escape rooms and jumping trampoline things for kids. Adults are still there for Barnes and noble and ulta.

My wife loves tv. Movies, tv shows, documentaries, and what ever. Blows my mind but it’s cool

That's so cute. I'd like to think I'd recognised that

That sounds like a great senses game! A great way to engage sense of taste and the thought process involved in cooking

Oh! That is adorable

I think she should know that’s actually pretty normal for cats. Better she asked the vet though!

Audiobooks and probably some headphones!

I live in Southern California. Where I’m at our malls are packed.

That's so sweet.

We were just threatened with physical violence if didn't stay in bed. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you!

Me. I’m the keeper of our history.

Maybe start by walking outside and aiming for a step goal then build from there. Now I have found my groove and something I enjoy hopefully in time so will you!
