I've been blessed and cursed with working with cars for my entire adult life. I've learned a fuckton (which is a real and accurate measurement) and the most common thing I've seen is that I have a lot to learn...

The dead bedrooms forums on Reddit are very active. Oh the irony.

This is a pretty safe group. But as Brother DryCreek notes, that doesn't mean that everyone is going to agree with what you post. Nor does it mean that you are going to agree with what other people post. The exchange of views is the value in this group, and that means that at some point you are going to post something that someone else disagrees with. And on the other hand someone else is going to post something that you disagree with. Please keep your opinions to yourself baza .... (Just when you thought the asshole wewbwb was gone for good.... ) I am of course kidding.

Quirky sense of humour. Strong work ethic. Mechanically skilled (bar propensity to misplace 10mm sockets !) Good bloke. I'll put it to you that these attributes might be highly marketable out there in the real world Brother wewbwb . I hope you do end up having a crack at it Brother - I reckon you'd go ok. Fucking 10 Mils... Thank you baza . I'm on the path to escaping. We'll see what happens. Personally, (both a blessing and a curse) I'm able to see the good in most things. Or at least the potential for good. The lesson that CAN be learned. So the "extra" years that passed as I stayed made me learn and see things from a different point of view. They lead me to a bit of "personal growth". When I leave now, I will be a better person then if I had left earlier. Is this an excuse? Maybe. Is it the way I choose to look at it? Yes. Had I left earlier, I would have felt more alone and isolated. Call it mild depression. That was my state of mind when I got married oh so many years ago. Look how that turned out for me (btw- today is our 26th anniversary) However, leaving now (or as soon as I pay off a little more debt) I can leave knowing more about myself. I have more tools now to deal better with the situation and have a larger network of support. There are no guarantees. Truth is I may be alone. The difference now is that I'm okay with it.

Just so everyone knows that I'm not dead...
For me the reason I stayed as long as I am, is compassion. I literally gave her years to sort out what was best for her. It didn't happen. So now I am taking control of it and have made more progress in three months during a pandemic, than she make in three years. That's an excuse and what I tell myself to make me feel better.
At the core, I stayed because it was easier and inertia is a powerful thing.
I worry that I will be alone. I worry that I can not and will not find love. I worry that the future will be more painful than the existence I'm in.
But I am now at the point where it doesn't matter anymore. It became too painful. So I am now addressing the issues and ready to move on. For me, here are the questions... Are you happy? Is being happy important to you? Are you doing anything about it? So if you aren't, why would they?
If you are doing the same thing and expecting something to change, you are being foolish.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you’re doing? I always loved learning how things work. I was working on cars before I could drive. So yes -it is what I'm doing. I just wish someone told me that I'd have to deal with customers and insurance companies and that the cars themselves would take all the fun out of driving.
Bastards.

I want to learn to crochet. I already know how to knit (and build engines and pistols) I also want to learn app development. I need things to occupy both my mind and my hands. (Like a good woman should do....)

Here is your question for today and the weekend. I think we might need time to ponder before answering. If you knew you were going to die within the year, what would you change about the way you live? Since "premeditated" gets thrown around a lot. I refuse to answer.
Oh and I'd take requests......
Sleep well you frigid women and soft men.......

Here’s your question for today/tomorrow- What wrong assumptions do people make about you? 1- That I don't care.
2- That I care.
I care a lot about the people and things that I consider important. Sadly, that isn't always the same things and people that others care about.
But I also don't really care what 99.99% of people think about me so......
