We've had no heat at the beginning of the week, thankfully that got fixed today. Had to take a cold shower yesterday :-D And now the supply valve for the washing machine started leaking. So yeah, a bit stressful, but that's life. It could be worse.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

It's going pretty well. Spent time with my lover and some friends, I have a needed medical appointment Friday, and yeah... basically I'm in a good place.
I feel pretty good. I finally saw some visual progress in my transition and I went through all of my documents and sorted them and got rid of everything I don't need anymore.
Pretty good. My work week is almost done, and it's finally going to be warm enough tomorrow to get to the driving range and see how bad my golf swing is after four months of not swinging any clubs 😬
It's ok I'm having plastering doing so it's a bit stressful. The plasterers trainee has gone off with a bad back but the plasterer has said he can finish it Monday or Tuesday. I fucking hope he can!!! I told him in a friendly way he's not getting paid till the job is done and he's got rave reviews.
I feel you! We're doing a whole house renovation and it's so stressful! I had a meltdown this week over wall texture. It's so stupid and seems like the smallest thing, but when you're paying for it you want it to be right
Yep and you use your house every day!
