I also dropped out very early. Struggled with that disappointment for a long time. Moved in with my SO’s parents and lived with them for years!

We moved out and got a rental when I was 25. I’m 29 now and working on my career in banking. Started exercising the last couple years and have been keeping up with it consistently. I feel like it was only in the last few years that I felt I was making progress but really needed some optimism to keep going. You just never know what’s going to change your life around. Try to improve yourself in any way you can and sometimes that can help you change your trajectory

I like musclewiki.com and the Strong app

Siri has had attitude lately.

My SO asked her to start a timer and she wasn’t listening so he said, “Wow” and she responded in a very sarcastic tone, “Wow, wow, wow…” 🙄

I used to kinda enjoy using Siri but in the past year or two she got really bad. She raises the volume of music when I ask her to lower it and occasionally she will not stop playing when I ask her to stop

Mine were Shrek, Dickie Roberts, and When a Stranger Calls

She’s either 25 or 75

I was on the right track but no way I would’ve guessed it!

Absolutely! It doesn’t matter how small you start.

I work a desk job and told myself I needed to exercise otherwise I would continue having back/health problems. I started with a 1-2 minute workout every day just so I could get in the habit. And if I didn’t feel like doing even that, I would at least do a few push ups or squats. Once I got used to taking that time every day I saw myself taking 5 minutes. Then 10, 20, 30… Now I commit to a 75-90 minute workout about 5 times a week. And I never thought it would get to that point but I started to enjoy it and look forward to that time every day!

I could’ve sworn I heard of a Hannah Montana-type show/character years before the show came out…

I used get my memes from 9gag 10-15 years ago until someone recommended Reddit and gave it a go

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It goes over a lot of general knowledge and science, including the history of those discoveries, in a way that’s conversational and so engaging. I wish I could find more books like it, so I’m open to suggestions!

I don’t play much any more but I used to love Picross

Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack.

I’ve always heard that but also been told to wait for some time after eating before brushing to not hurt your enamel? Not sure how true that is

Yes, same thing would happen to me! It was a risk trying to stretch it out because if it works the pain would go away but if it didn’t pop, then the pain would be worse than when I started. Sorry you’re still going through it. My doctor recommended NSAIDs for the pain but they didn’t help me too much. Eventually the problem went away and I luckily haven’t had it come back

I used to have costochondritis which was an inflammation of the cartilage in my sternum. It would feel like a pressure on my chest that wouldn’t be relieved until I bent backwards to stretch and “pop” my chest. So occasionally friends and family would see me stretching and wonder wtf I was doing

Those Music updates were a long time coming!

Now I need to take up smoking so I can vote

Sounds similar to deja reve which is when you feel like you’ve previously dreamt what is currently happening

my palms are sweaty
