The Technical Issues on the site with the addition of new ads on the left side was an epic fail. Let me know if you are still seeing them, I am not. I didn’t have to do it but some of you may need to Google “How to delete cookies from one site on (insert your device name here.) Perhaps that will help. But the intrusive ads were a fail. As was my attempt to put up a Pay Pal button. But there is a link in the side bar if you are so inclined. The only reason I accepted more ads was because when Elon Mush bought Twitter (Did he though? That’s still unclear to me.) I lost 25% of my Twitter followers. Even if you are not that active on Twitter, I would still appreciate it if you would follow me here. Losing 4,000 followers in one day over Elon Musk really hurt my income. Twitter is the social media I use the most and get the most views from by far.
Other than these site issues. I am finally on an antidepressant/antianxiety pill THAT ACTUALLY HELPS! I am so grateful for all of you who stuck with my daily whining. And I am so happy that I get so many emails from all of you who are still struggling who I have in some small way inspired to try and try again. Antidepressants are all different. I am getting some grief in Twitter for liking an Elon Musk post (of all people) who spoke out against Wellbutrin when he said every time Wellbutrin came up in conversations there was someone who was suicidal on that medication. I was one of those people many years ago. I was living in Tallahassee. I was not depressed. I was taking it to try to quit smoking. My across the hall neighbor and I walked in and out of each others apartment all the time. She came in and flushed mine because I was in the fetal position all the time. So the point is that while some people on Twitter tell me that they are thrilled with their results on Wellbutrin. Don’t give up. Try and try again.
Again, I love you all. I’m sorry I gave my ad agency to put up intrusive comments. I have the best ad agency ever (Monumetric) they are the best in the business and just trying to help me be able to fund this site. I just reported to my ad team that many of you are still disrupted by the intrusive ads. I’m working on it. AGAIN.
I am so happy you found a medication that works, Tamara. I too have been struggling in the depths of depression for the last year, and I finally found a combination of meds that at least allow me to get my fat ass out of bed most days. I had to beg my sister to come and help me clean my house because it had become out of my control. I find it extremely difficult to ask anyone for help, so that was a huge deal for me. I know I need to go back to therapy and deal with some demons, but I’m having such a hard time finding a therapist who takes my insurance and is taking new patients. I’m on a few wait lists. There’s more scary shit going on, but I’m burying it for now because I’m sick of crying. I hope your depression continues to get better Tamara. It’s such an awful thing to suffer with and people who’ve never experienced just don’t understand how helpless we can become in managing even the smallest details of our lives. Sending you love and gentle hugs. 🖤
I must report there continues to be issues seeing your site on my iPhone. Your column is pushed to the right of my screen and some words on each column are missing on that side. It is impossible to move to correct. I can see everything clearly on my my iPad where I am typing this now. The recent changes to your site seems to be the culprit. I hope it can be remedied soon.
Same issues for me. I gave up on my phone but have better luck on my tablet
I had the same issue last night. But it corrected this morning.
I came here to report exactly the same issue. I’ve had to crack the aged lap top just to get my TT fix. I’ll try the phone again tomorrow and hopefully get the same result as Belinda above.
The ads on the left are gone.
All,of the nice things that usually show up,on the right — list of stories, list of posters, etc.start WAY down below the place where it says “post comment.”
For me, it looks fine on my laptop, but on my Android phone, the right edge is cut off and I can’t slide it over or resize, so I can only read the left side of each paragraph. Paypal button seems to work. Good luck sorting it all out. So glad you are feeling better!!
The same for me. Fine on my laptop. I’m thinking about what to make for lunch.
I’m glad you found meds that work.
If you can try restarting your computer/phone and let me know if that makes a difference?
Okay now Pay Pal is trying to … I am not sure what they are trying to do. But I have sent plenty of you a dollar or three when you needed it but now you can’t send it to me? They are asking about weird shit like proof of sending merch on time…etc.
Good Lord. I miss the days when our site was much easier to navigate. I don’t have the mindset to point out I send out money and I am not receiving any until today. When I got $50 from someone. Which really did not receive. Paypal seems to think I am making business transaction or selling shit when we are all just friends. Donation to the site is among Friends and not a business.
Try venmo – that is really easy amongst friends. 90% of banks participate.
I can see your post fine on my desktop and on my phone, BUT I see no Paypal button anywhere! Happy to give once I see it.
Paypal is being a cunt about it. They had no problem when I sent money, but they have all thes questions about my friends who send me money. I’m pissed,
clearing browser cache on phone did the trick! i can now see all the text on the site.
i think if a change needs to happen, the layout has to be designed to be scaled for all devices (computer, tablet,and phone). seems this recent change was computer only in design, then when they “fixed it” to scale properly on other devices we couldn’t see the fix because of browser cache issues.
I joined Twitter when you requested your followers do and I wanted to show support. But being old, I don’t understand Twitter. Anyway I responded to one of your Wellbutrin “Tweets” but can’t find it. Hope you got it TT
I dont understand how people quit twitter because Elon Musk is probably buying it. Are any of these people driving teslas? Nothing has happened yet! If they hate it once he buys it that is one thing, but nothing has happened yet. Just my opinion, you all can have yours.
I am so glad the meds are working. Everyone has a different chemistry. My combination with wellbutrin works great, but I am taking it for anxiety, because my chemistry is my own. I remember being on one medication that made me so slovenly and depressed and I was afraid to change it because my anxiety would rear its ugly head for a while. Those of you who have had crippling anxiety know how it feels. I got something that works, and I am good with it. I also have a great psychiatrist, and you really need someone who understands YOU, not just your symptoms.
Yay! I can read your site without waiting for the ads to blink out.
So glad you found medication that works for you. We are all different and things that work for some hurt others. Just be aware of your feelings, there may come a time when the dose has to change. My friend was doing so well on her medication (not Wellbutrin) and then fell out of sight for awhile. Turns out she was ready to have and needed a “bump up” in dosage.
All is working fine on my iPhone again.
YAY! 👏🙌👏 Working on my iPhone too (I don’t have laptop or iPad).
I am proudly following you on Twitter!!!
Personally, I don’t get Twitter………who cares what I have to say in 280 characters in a tweet?
I no longer have the words cut off issue on mobile so yay…
From what I know Elon musk used a lot of backers to buy twitter but he is just the main figure. It sucks people are bailing from twitter because of it and I am sorry that is costing you. Also get it together PayPal!
were all fans!
I’m looking at your site on an iPhone, and it’s back to normal ….yay!
Not well bitch!
Last night, while under a particularly zippy strain of sativa my Husband and I made the ill-advised decision to tape folders to our feet and ski down the stairs. We terrified my dog and I tweaked my back. Then we had sex and I destroyed my back.
😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Next time, try flattened cereal boxes.
The should not be a next time! There shouldn’t have been a first time! My back hurts just reading that! Kids today!!!!
I can think of worse nights. I’ve had quite impressive rug burn on my back.
I sent money to a friend yesterday. The only question was “business” or “personal/friend/family”? Perhaps the questions are because people are checking “business.” If it’s business, taxman wants a share.
When I tried to make the donate button, it seem to have automatically set me up for a BUSINESS account. I didn’t want one. Now I can’t log in to my personal account it automatically sends me to my business page and I can’t get out of it. It’s a PITA and causing tremendous anxiety that even Cymbalta can’t fix today. Because I pay my hosting site out of the personal account. I can’t figure out how to transfer the donations to the OTHER account (Thanks for those BTW) and close the Business account.
.
I don’t see a button for paypal, but I do see a link.
I just took the link down it was to the wrong account. It’s still my account just not the right account.
i’m starting planting in the porch and garage pots. this year’s floral display probably won’t be as lush or lavish as prior years but i get tired easily now and am just picking my battles. found some nice elephant ears for the garage pots at sam’s and the costco geraniums ought to look nice with them. got some rich dark red verbena for the trailing thing in the porch pots and think i’ll do in-your-face orange geraniums with them. bronze fennel would be a great tall thing in those pots too but the odds of finding bronze fennel ain’t high so i’ll just see what nursery has what. found another awesome hydrangea at sam’s club labelled “deep purple” but it’s a mixed color ranging from medium pink with a pale center to lavender-mauve to kinda dirty pale purple. sounds awful but it’s really pretty. it just doesn’t “play well with others.” think i’ll go all out on the kitchen herbs this year – have really enjoyed cooking with them and using lovage (celery tasting), borage (cucumber tasting), lemon mint, and italian parsley chopped fine and mixed into green salads. fresh oregano and dill taste good in salads too.
That sounds beautiful Judith. I wish I had made it to home depot. Your garden still sounds a lot of work to me. 🙂
I feel safe taking in here but I’ve felt off lately, disconnected with people. Not my husband, but others. Some of you may remembering mentioning that my FIL was found out to have molested his niece for years. Tore apart the family. Everyone knows their mother knew. But sister who decided a while back to care for them still cares for the mother I’m guessing is in denial about it (it was her daughter). Basically right before the daughter told everyone, the sister used her parents money to put an addition onto her house for them to live. They were there a few months, then the daughter told everyone. So I think the sister thinks the father would go after her for the money invested in the house, alot! Anyway, she’s really guilting my husband to come see her. I know he doesnt really want to but well the guilt, the sister wants to take some off herself and put onto my husband I feel. Frankly I’m the type that cuts you off, so I’m trying to be supportive for him, but I cannot stand people manipulating the situation. If you want the honest truth, the sister is just trying to maintain this fake happy life so people (other family) don’t think she killed her, she’s not been doing well since being separated from her husband. I just don’t want her bringing my husband in on this. It’s just how I feel, I know its family, but this is too much. Other brothers have made their feelings known, but the sister is still trying with my husband. I feel horrible but I also don’t care at the same time. Betrayal is betrayal. Thanks for listening, don’t judge, I’m just trying to get this out and make sense of it all, which I don’t think I ever will! Ironically I always felt an intuition that something was off with the parents, I hate being right. I need some stupid TV and Marlow to get in a laugh. Take care all!
Thanks for feeling comfortable to share, Annabelle. Unforturnately, your story is not uncommon. My mother’s father molested me and a few other female family members including one of his own daughters. This apparently was know by plenty of people. I never told anyone until after my mother died. Then her sister my aunt and I were staying at a siblings house after the funeral and I got drunk and asked her if my mother knew. She said yes. She never let on to me that she knew. And she used to force me to give the molester small presents for Christmas and such and make me hug him. I just assumed she didn’t know. Then I came to find out there were others. My cousins and I never said a word to each other.
When I was going through menopause, I had sort of a nervous breakdown about it. It was weird and I think I overshared all of my big fat feelings about it here. I would cry all the time. For most of my life I just sort of blocked it out, but menopause is weird and you have all sorts of memories and traumas and I started to question my whole life.
I hope the girl who was the victim of sexual assault gets some help NOW rather than feeling ashamed, and becoming sexually promiscuous (which generally happens, oddly enough.)
Try to be patient with your husband. This is really hard for men to understand in my experience. And the victim will need some serious therapy that I never got if she is to have a chance forming positive relationships with men. Something I have never managed to do. Victims of abuse often unconsciously end up with more abusive men and that has happened to me a lot. I’ll pray for the girl.
Is anyone watching The Man Who Fell To Earth on Showtime? I’m not quite sure what the fuck is happening and I am on a third of the way through the first episode. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it worth watching?
Also, did anyone get the Wordle today? I just had to put in MORON as my last guess just to see the answer. I did complete Quordle today so maybe my brain still works a bit…?
I did not play wordle yesterday, but it always frustrates me!! I will re follow you on twitter.
Dude! I’m blocked from your twitter!! :)))))))
How is that possible? What is your Twitter name, I’ll try to find you.
I do Wordle every day, but Quordle gives me anxiety. I just can’t.
I have to use pen and paper for Quordle (and occasionally Wordle) I have pages and pages of five underline with the letters underneath that I know and when I get a green square or to I put them in the right place. Then, I look at what letters are still available to use and see what I came up with. I need concrete options that I can move around. I can’t hold everything in my head like that. I only need it on Wordle when I am about to lose. I got wordle today and three of the four on Quordle. That fourth one was hard.
Currently sick with a cold although I want to believe it’s like a sleep coma! All I’ve done for the last three days is sleep! The man brought it home and the man is sick too! It’s sad in the Suter-Boyer household!!!!
I’m still loving on you TT! We pray for you daily so you get through this. And we love you!!!
Amy
Thanks Amy! Hope y’all feel better soon!
Still learning Wordle!! Brain not functioning enough for it but I have been playing candy crush!!!
