Mass shooting in Austin, TX…just another day in America
I understand. I feel that way too.I feel like I’m in a car, crashing headlong into a brick wall in slow motion.
The collision has already started and I don’t have any idea what state I’ll be in afterwards.
My next theory is that Triple X is also OP firebird and the non sex worker.

I do, too, but what if it were genuine? There are peeps seeking help here. I feel better on the side of caution, and initially being helpful.

Agreed. That's why I comment.
It's how I deal with people in my non-online life. Everyone gets the benefit of the doubt until there's a reason to not believe/trust them. Yes, I sometimes get played with that philosophy...although not that often. But I'd rather that, than live my life assuming the worst of everyone.
On discovery, it just feels like a waste of so many people's time. But thanks...I'll try and focus on the fact that it could have been a real person needing help.
...but could this also be "he who must not be named" from AmPics? How precisely does one commence Troll Hunting...

I’m trying to listen to my my body. Really listen to it. Last night, someone visited that tends to drink a lot and encourages me to drink regardless of how many times I’ve lamented not liking how much I drink. I didn’t cave to pressure. I didn’t even feel tempted in the slightest. I’m not going to hurt myself anymore so I can be “on” for the entertainment of others. This was a real awakening.

I don't want to hijack another thread, so I'll put it here: I don't think I've ever blushed. At least, no one has ever commented to that effect. Now I'm curious.
How do people who live in warmer, more humid climes than I do moisturize their face? Or are your moisturizing needs non-existing?
It’s been so hot and muggy here for quite a while now and I really struggle with moisturizing. My skin needs it, but whenever I moisturize, I basically just sweat it all off in the next 30 minutes because it never really absorbs into my skin because of, I’m guessing, the humidity.
I have the same problem with sun screen currently.
Yesterday the highest feels like temp was 39C (102F) at one point (and it really did feel like it) and that’s just not normal for Helsinki. Everything is built to trap heat and almost no one has any kind of cooling system in their homes. Yesterday evening the temp in the bedroom was 33C/91F when I went to bed. I’m super grumpy from the lack of sleep and my skin is getting really angry, not happy times.
I use the lightest possible stuff on my face. Lubriderm body lotion is all I've ever been able to use without excessive and unwanted sneezing.
My hands and body get normal stuff but I keep heavy duty lotions for my feet. They have to look good in sandals and flip flops, you know.
Try keeping blinds and curtains closed. Darker rooms are cooler. Take lukewarm or cool showers. A fan blowing across a frozen pan of ice makes a good substitute for AC
I finally caved in 2018 and started buying special moisturizing sunscreen for the face. It stays on a bit better. I dry off and reapply if I need to.
One of those sun screen spray waters for sport and waterlovers for the body. Keeping it somewhere cool and reapplying like crazy.
Rose water bought in the foreign food section, kept in a spray bottle, if possible in the fridge works fine instead of one of those spray over makeup moisturizing waters and is cheep enough to spray all over you.
Drinking lots of cool peppermint tea, open windows at night if possible, ventilators all help.
Cool showers are great but when we had a heatwawe while renovating the bath, I learned that it works to wet a bath towel with cold water, wring it out and rub down with it. You can even roll up in it untill you feel cooler. Running cold water over the pulse points in the wrists is helpfull too.
It’s harder to handle in our countries, because the heat often comes without a warm up period and doesn’t stay long enough that we can acclimatize. Buildings and infrastructure are just not built to handle it well.
Thanks. I’m trying to cope, but this is so not my thing. I can survive when it’s hot and humid outside as long as I have somewhere to escape it all and can sleep okay, but currently it’s not a possibility. Working at the office doesn’t help much either, because it’s an old building that doesn’t handle temps like this very well.
I keep the apartment almost cavelike and only open the windows when it’s cooler outside than inside. Don’t have a fan, can’t get one either because everything’s sold out. It’s a top floor apartment so heat comes through the roof as well as through the walls. Night time temps have been quite high too (around 20C/70ish F), so the apartment doesn’t get to cool down properly even during the night despite keeping the windows open (and then worrying about birds flying inside like one tried to do two nights ago ).
I’ll try to survive. Two more days until summer cottage.
If you never hear from me again, it’s because I’ve turned into a puddle with no arms.
