So...do you like food?

Somewhat of an update on the dating app situation for me.

I was at two but am down to one (a popular dating app beginning with a "T" presented me with no real success). I'm still on one that's supposed to cater to members of the LGBTQ community.

While I haven't had any true, deep connections yet, it has been very nice (and flattering) to get attention from so many people.

I did go off app with one person. We've been texting off and on for over a month now. I think we would've met up by now if now for certain issues with which they're currently dealing.

Without going into too many of their details, they're having employment issues after losing their most recent job and it's affecting their mental state; as anyone could imagine.

One day, when we were talking about it, they mentioned, "Can't ask you out on a date though until I have some income." 

Granted, I could just ask them out but...

Part of me is excited about being asked out. Like, I'd prefer if somebody went out of their way to ask me out on a date instead of me doing so. Like I always have.

Now, they have work to do on themselves before I get involved. So, I'm not off the market or anything.

Still, it was so flattering and wonderful to know that somebody actually wanted to ask me out on a date.

Note to anyone that does find me on the dating app:

1) Be within two hours away. Anything beyond that, especially out of state, is too far for me to believe in us developing a true connection. I don't care how cute you are. 😉

2) When it comes to communication, be active but keep it polite and sane. Have more to say than just "what are you wearing," "do you have a fat ass," or the very charming "I so want us to meet up and suck each other off right now." I'm old fashioned in believe in romance first. You need to wine and dine me before you get to horizontally align me.

3) While I'm flattered I can draw a younger crowd, if you're too young to go out for drinks, you're too young for me. Sorry 🤷‍♀️

4) Don't be afraid to shoot your shot. The worst I can do is say no or move on. Neither of us has lost or gained position in life from where we were before.

Follow these rules and maybe, we can spend some quality time together.

If you're good. 🙂

Half the Person I Used to Be

People can have lots of different vices to help when they're stressed. Some drink, some smoke, some even do drugs (I don't judge anyone enjoying a little bit of Mother Earth's great green herb. I mean the harder stuff). My vice was always food. Whenever I was stressed or sad or even just bored, I'd immediately go straight for the kitchen or pantry to find something to eat. Any good feelings from doing so would quickly evaporate whenever I would next step onto the scale. Stress eating became a big habit at one point in my life due to working in a hospital at the time and my continuing issues in my marriage. Even after I left that job and the divorce was finalized, I still used food as a coping mechanism. By the time 2023 rolled around and I was actually ready to do something about it (or so I thought), the scales read 336.5 pounds. I was up to wearing size 5XL shirts that had to be specially ordered because no local stores carried them. I talked to my doctor and they sug...

Voting Day

While it's not one of the "big ones," such as the midterms or the Presidential elections, today is still voting day. You could say that elections like this are even more important since they cover local offices that can affect you everyday. I was born and raised as a Republican because of my parents and their background. However, I became more and more liberal in my thinking once I got to college and beyond. In fact, it became clear to me that my thought process growing up had usually been socially liberal anyway. I officially changed parties to Democrat in 2016. I refused to be associated with Drumpf and the way in which he'd bastardized my idea of the Grand Old Party. I don't have to tell you how upset I was over the results from last year. That orange faced goon won lots of support by actively campaigning against LGBTQ causes, especially the trans community. Not only did his base just lap it up but it felt like Democratic leadership wasn't doing nearly enou...

Thanks Dad

 My dad was born to a hardworking father and stay-at-home mother in a tough neighborhood. Not only my father but all of his siblings served as living PSAs on what NOT to do in life. I had a family member for each issue raised: drinking, smoking, drugs, infidelity, raising children, racism. Everything they did seemed wrong to me. In fact, I could've made this blog entirely about them and would never run out of material. However, for brevity, I'll focus on my father.  He married his highschool sweetheart and had my sister. It wasn't long before that marriage ended on divorce and my father moved away. While my sister will never admit it, I've always believed that she secretly resented him for leaving her. My father eventually met my mother but it would be ten years before they married. One reason was because her family didn't really like him. They were all very straight laced while he was an alcoholic biker (I guess my mom was into bad boys). Another reason was, at one...
