I checked down detector & everything’s fine. But I can’t log in or change my password. Face ID isn’t working. It won’t take my password & when I check on forgot password it won’t accept the verification code they send me. It’s so frustrating, especially during the first week of the month when big bills are due.

I’m also very irritated with the process to receive a new debit card. I reported an unauthorized charge almost 3 weeks ago & I still haven’t received my card. My BF banks with Kemba credit union & can walk into any branch any time & get a new bank card right there. Why is fifth third still in the dark on this?

Yes, I understand you are not supposed to donate while taking PrEP. I am not on it but am considering starting. Like many of us, I rely on plasma as part of my regular income. I’m having a really tough time deciding. I don’t want to lose my donation money or worse be banned for life if they found out. & I certainly don’t want to harm anyone worse case scenario. They say not to donate on antibiotics & stuff like that too. I do still donate for that. I can’t pass strep throat through my plasma. I’ve never been caught from their random testing for antibiotic detection. Are any of you guys getting away with donating on PrEP?

Please if you are here to shame or bash people being honest just go somewhere else. They understand the risks but not every scenario is so black & white. Be kind.

Vent post.

I hear so many different topics about dating but something I never hear is having the feeling of wanting to clock out. Check out. Take time off. Log off. Whatever you wanna call it. I’m not talking about breaking up. Just the feeling of wanting to press pause on your “obligations” of being someone’s partner. Don’t get me wrong, I love my boyfriend. We’ve been together 4 years & have lived together a little over half that time. Lots of ups & downs in the beginning but we’ve come a long way.

There are still tough moments. & sometimes those moments have nothing to do with him or our relationship. I just don’t feel like being a girlfriend sometimes. The thing I dislike the most about dating is the expectations, obligations, & the feeling of always having to be “on” for somebody else. Sometimes I just want to sleep in the bed by myself & not talk to anybody. I want to come home after work & just chill without someone waiting for me to interact with them or their energy of the day shrouding over me. I don’t want to listen to someone else’s stories or laugh at their jokes when I just want to power off & zone out. & for fucks sake I just want to go to bed without feeling guilty. That pressure to engage in sexual intimacy. Someone expecting me to please them or share my body. No. Not today. Not this week. Not this month. I just want my time & my body to belong to me for a while.

& yes I have autism lol again I love my bf & have no desire to end things. I just want to be me & do me sometimes. I have expressed this to him & he doesn’t really get it. He feels rejection (which I get) but damn. At the end of the day I’m still an individual outside of being a partner. I hate always being on or someone expecting SOMETHING from me. I just want to simply exist sometimes. I can’t be the only one that feels this way.

Yes we get it. You have ADHD. Your brain works differently. We know! I write this post with love & genuinely mean no harm or mal-intent💛🧡❤️

ADHD doesn’t make you less than or weird or a bad person. You’re cool & you fit in just fine. You don’t have to give a dissertation on your condition every month lol. Granted, no other person will know all the minute intricacies going on for you individually but that applies to all people. We understand the overall picture.

The thing about the neurotypical brain is we receive info clearly & we are very logical. We notice patterns & pay attention when interacting with you. Or watching you interact with others or yourself. Things make sense very quickly. Those concepts get neatly filed into an easy to find folder in our brains. We see you & we hear you the first time.

One less stress.

Are there any places in or around town that do pizza buffet style? Like Cicis & old school Pizza Hut. I know Masseys does a lunch buffet but we would need it for dinner time. If not, any other money saving dinner idea for two 11 year olds?

My step son is staying with us for half the summer. We need some ideas for things to do. Both him solo & with us. We occasionally take him to Ninja City or the skate park but fresh ideas are needed especially since he’ll be here for longer periods. Preferably ideas that won’t break the bank. What do your kids like to do?

He’s turning 11 next weekend. The interests & moods have already started shifting. Attitude really starts this early? Oh man lol. He’s at that age where toys are cool in theory but not in practice. He needs interactive things that capture his attention for more than 5 minutes. He loves media of course but I don’t let him be on screens all day when he’s here. He’s a very high energy kid & makes friends easy. We are going to be starting him on an allowance to help around the house, give him things to do, learn responsibility, & learn about money, along with gaining some financial independence when we go out. We just need some ideas to fill in the spaces. TIA

I’m a 33 F from Columbus Ohio. I’ve driven through TN with family as a kid but never actually been there. This will only be my 2nd time driving solo out of state as an adult so I’m pretty excited. I’ll be staying near Mt. Juliet for the last week of July. My birthdays that week so bakery recs are welcomed for a good birthday treat. I’m a cook & a foodie so area specific grocery chains & restaurants are high on my list of things to visit. Shopping? Activities? Must see/do attractions? Festivals? Places to meet single men…? lol I’m just ready to relax & enjoy myself.

This is my first time going to Nashville & I’ve never personally driven further south of Covington KY. Pic shows my route (shortest time). Wondering would I should see or do on my way there. Ideas for Nashville welcomed too. I’ll be staying the whole last week of July for my birthday.

Big foodie & im a cook so good places to eat & neat stores are my jam, including grocery stores. I need to find a nice bakery for my bday cake or a few I can sample from as an alternative. TIA
