What Are You Nosey About Today?? 🦝

If you have your sigs turned off. You wont see them unless you look at their profile. I've had mine turned off for a while.

It’s turned on , that’s why I’m nosey if anyone else is having the same thing happening. There’s actually less tabs there now then before the shut down.

I’m nosey if anyone else noticed that signatures are disabled and no one has one showing up in posts, PMs , anywhere other then their Lit Page. It’s kinda glorious , less louder if you will , to read posts.

OCD folks must be losing their shit about it as well as gif fans , statement makers that used their signature for that.

I still see signatures 🤷
 
I'm nosey about homeownership:

- Do you own your own home? Why/Why not?

If you do:
- Is this the first home you've owned? How many others have you owned?
- How long have you lived in your current home?
- How many houses did you look at before deciding on the one you bought? How long did the process of finding the right one take?
- Would you ever sell your house and rent a house or apartment instead?

Edited to add:
- how is the housing market in your area?
- do most people in your area rent or own?

-I live in a townhouse (in a small complex, I have the third/top floor). I find home ownership a pain in the ass, and not in a good way. I like with the townhouse I have my own space, good privacy, and I can leave the windows open/curtains open so I move through the day with natural light. I've got a great view...of the townhouse across the courtyard LOL.

-It's not the first home I ever owned. That was a small traditional cottage in the Berkeley hills. It's also not the only home I own. I own a small ranch in Nebraska (which I lease to a childhood friend) and a nice house in Arizona (that I lease to my brother). Plus I'm a partial owner in a handful of other places.

-I've owned it for about 20+ years. Of those, about 14 I lived in it, otherwise I leased it out. I've traveled for work for extended periods (months/years) and so it was a good flexible solution.

-I actually didn't buy it. I was living in Japan at the time and new that I was going to come back in less then a year, so I had a good friend of mine, a real estate agent, find it and buy it. I just wrote the check and told her what I wanted and other than a few signatures, left it up to her. She has better taste than me.

-I plan on retiring next year, and I am planning (all plans subject to change) to be something of a gypsy, so I will rent/lease during that phase of my life. I haven't decided where I want to live in retirement, but I do have a short list of places I want to check out by living there for sixth months to a year to see if I like them.

-I'm in the bay area of California, in Silicon Valley, so the housing market here is insane. What will buy you a house in another part of the country will maybe get you a dumpster here. Literally, a dumpster. The market is that crazy.

-85% of the people here own. 15% rent. (The rental market is also insane.)
 
I'm nosey about how easily you use the L word with people you care about?

Are you someone who is very very careful about the use of that word because of the weight it can carry or is it something you can casually say to people you care about?

Is it easier for you to say to friends vs people you are in a relationship with?

I use the word often, for friends, relatives and lovers. I believe in the power of love, I believe we should love early, love often, and love without condition. I also believe we should express that love, early and often, with words and actions.

Yes, with close friends I use the word love rather easily, and I mean it, justlike I've loved my real life friends. In a relationship it's a different kind of love, and the word should be used cautiously. Like the song says, "Love aint no pickup line"

I personally give it a tremendous amount of weight and don’t use in casually. Besides the intimacy meaning it also is a bonding word. By giving it that value it’s precious to me.

A example might be , a sports team. The fans posting the Braves won their division last night , I love it.

Life is too short not to tell people how you feel. I use it pretty easily with friendships. I use it all the time for my family.

But I guess it also depends on who I am saying it too. If I think it's going to scare them I am a little more careful with it. Just because I love you does not mean that I'm going to show up at your door and stalk you. 😉

With those people I honestly and truly love I say it generously, but I wouldn't say casually. It's easier for me to say to someone I'm in a relationship with than just to a friend. But I still say it to friends if I think they could use hearing it.

I'm incredibly stingy with the L-word. I can likely count the number of people I've said it to. But when I say it - I mean it - in the strongest of ways.

I don't use it nearly as much as I'd like... my family was not the type to say that often. But if I do say it, I mean it

Depends on the context. With family and my best friends I use it liberally because it's the god's honest truth. And people should know that, dammit.

With romantic partners I am much more guarded with it. I refuse to say it unless I know it, feel it in my bones. When I tell a woman I love her, it isn't just a phrase. Or even a feeling. It's a baring of my soul. An admission of need, an offer of something precious. It's too big to use trivially.
 
I have varying degrees of the L word. I will say it for things I like, I love a good risotto for example. With people, I say love instead of “I like you a lot”.. so,that goes for many people here. I tell most people I love them. I also use the L word in a more intense meaning when I care deeply for somebody and I would feel a loss if they weren’t in my life. Being “in-love” is totally different and I have 2 versions of that. I am in love with my children in that it is all encompassing but in a non-sexual way and then there is being in love with a partner which is all encompassing emotionally and physically. At the memento I don’t think the whole emotional and physical in love is possible because I still have walls up.

I like this :)
If you aren’t my best friends or family and I say I love you, it’s not just a phrase or random feeling. What stings is when you believe it when someone else says it and you realize it was likely just because they thought it’s what you wanted to hear. So, we don’t make that mistake anymore :).

I love this. The circle of people to whom I say it is so small at this point, that it's clearly meaningful.

I'm with you.
Plus, in Italian we have different words for I love you, depending on relationships. Whether is friend and family or someone you are in love with. So it's a bit more easier to distinguish.

This is smart. Why are Americans so obtuse? I want to know what they are so I can use them
