FFFC: sometimes I feel poor when reading how much people pay for something. When they post a link for something, I always look at the price first.
On this note, I thought the -- what I got for Christmas thread was tone deaf -- someone was happy for money for groceries and the next person was happy for a luxury purse... How did sharing make anyone feel good?
My reason feeling that way was the house thread and Sephora thread on parenting and the Christmas thread here.
I mean, I think my state has one of the lowest cost of the living so maybe that has a big part to do with it
I always feel weird contributing to these kinds of threads. I feel like people will secretly judge how much or how little I spend on something. Probably irrational, but that's my brain.

Whenever I'm in the bathroom at work, if I hear someone just rinse their hands, I always peek through the door crack to see who it is. DNW pot luck from that person.

So, remember how H had this girl facebook messaging him that she thought about him at night and was lonely, yadda, yadda?
WELL, he blocked her. SHE MESSAGED HIM FROM HER HUSBAND'S FACEBOOK with a fake name and email and asked him to friend her on that. WTF.
Here's the confession part - I was thisclose to screenshotting it and sending it to her H. I didn't because they're already all fucked up and well...yea. But I seriously, seriously considered it.

I'm the one who was happy for groceries. I loved reading what others got and was thankful to receive what we truly needed right now, which was money for anything really.
Do I wish I could have gotten a luxury purse? Maybe, maybe not. But I would have felt kind of selfish receiving one since what we really did need was money for things like food. For now I'm thankful for getting something I truly needed, and excited to see others that got what they really wanted as well. Just because those items are SO DIFFERENT doesn't mean that they mean any less to the person who received them.
Basically, everyone is in a different spot in their lives right now. I'm happy to see my internet friends be excited for their gifts, even if they are out of my reach right now. That excitement made me feel good and happy. Most everyone received something they truly wanted, and were very thankful for it, which is heart warming to see no matter what said gift was.
I hope this made sense. I'm sick and my brain isn't really functioning on all cylinders right now.

Jaysus what the hell is wrong with this woman.. Maybe reach out to her and let her know that you're sorry for all that she's going through but she's overstepping boundaries and next step is letting her husband know. Although it doesn't sound like she'll care. This woman scares me. On second thought maybe no comment.

I've never thought to judge someone on any of these threads. I like see stuff people are super into and getting recommendations for things I may otherwise not think to check out. I guess I would probably ask my friends IRL how their Christmas was/what they got, so I can talk to Internet friends about that too. I do understand that there is a fine line sometimes, but never feel like it was crossed.
One of my final research papers in college involved a bathroom handwashing experiment. Let's put it this way...there are a lot of dirty hands out there.

I totally get it. I just worried when I read through that thread that it would make people hurt.

Life is too short to be jelly of internet peoples' Christmas presents.

On this same note, I judge people's entire hand washing routine. If it's under 45 seconds (minimum), DNW in my lyfe.
Really? 45 seconds? I always heard that you should wash your hands for as long as it takes you to sing "Happy Birthday", which in my experience is 10-15 seconds.
One of my final research papers in college involved a bathroom handwashing experiment. Let's put it this way...there are a lot of dirty hands out there.
One of my labs in college involved drinking different concentrations of salt water and peeing into beakers, then bringing them into lab to analyze.
We had to pee 4 times during that lab. LOTS of jars of pee.

So, remember how --snip--...yea. But I seriously, seriously considered it.
it was sent from his FB? Did she just delete it when she was done sending it? What if he replied and her H saw it before she did? What if you sent the screenshot and she just deleted it? Moar info.
Yup, PM sent from his FB. H and him are still FB friends. I'm assuming she deleted the conversation after she sent it? I'm not friends with him so I don't know how often he's on or anything like that.
I never thought about what if H replied and she didn't see it first....hmmm...I'm also kind of assuming that she's obsessively stalking it though. She does work. He's a (recovering?) addict. I think they live with his parents, I don't know if he works or not....yea. no clue.
I didn't wipe after going pee until I was 12 years old and figured out I was a disgusting human being. ETA: I just grossed myself out just by reading that...
FTR I didn't read the backstory on that crazy woman
Oh, she's just insane. H and her H were in the Marines together, her family lived right near base so they always spent all holidays, etc there. H hasn't really talked to either in years because they live in CA (except like, random FB likes or whatever). She messages him out of the blue that she's stuck at the airport on the East Coast, her H hates her, he's addicted to meth, they lost custody of their 3 kids, on and on. We feel bad, then she starts with the BSC, 'I need you' messaging.
