Off-Topic / How do you relax?

« on: September 21, 2021, 07:40:09 pm »Message ID: 1362554

You have had a stressful day and you need to unwind. Name things you like to do to do relieve stress. There is no wrong response. I will go first. I like to play music and run me a hot bath with good smelling candles after a long stressful day. Sometimes I will come home and write a story on my computer. I have written a few novels. Some of my books are short stories. What do you like to do to relax?

Have you or would you ever try a dating app if you were single? I have been single for over a year. I contemplated using an app but I'm kind of iffy about it. What are your thoughts?

Off-Topic / My best friend flaked on me!!!

« on: September 08, 2021, 06:42:45 pm »Message ID: 1362078

So my best friend who has been my best friend since 3rd grade had been acting differently lately. I had invited her to several events. Each time she would say she wants to come and then flake out on me and leave me hanging. I know she has someone new she is dating so I just decided to give her space. I gave myself space from her for a month until she eventually called me up and we went back to talking. Recently I have been having issues with my new phone. She came over to a cookout I invited her to claiming that I blocked her. I asked why would I invite you to my home and my cookout if I felt this way? She left saying she would return but she never did. She was quite rude to me after and told me I was better off blocking her. Well 28 years of friendship is over. I been having a horrible week. If you read my other posts you will know just what I mean.

Off-Topic / Back after 5 years

« on: September 08, 2021, 06:33:52 pm »Message ID: 1362077

Hello everyone I have returned back to fusion cash after 5 years.  A lot can happen in 5 years. I left an abusive boyfriend. I moved my children and I to a 3 bedroom apartment on the east side. We have been staying here for 3 years. Up until this year my life had been pretty peaceful. A year ago my family of 3 became a family of four when I gave birth to my daughter who is quite the energizer bunny. Now I am trying to find ways to earn money while dealing with a no work restriction so I thought I would try my hands at writing.

Off-Topic / Feeling hopeless

« on: September 08, 2021, 06:28:31 pm »Message ID: 1362076

Today it finally hit me that I am suffering from depression. I injured my back at work in December of last year.  I went back to work after only 3 days of being off with light duty restrictions. My job violated the restrictions and had me heavy lifting. After my mri. test returned my dr. pulled me off work. My lower disc in my back is damaged and bulging because it is out of place. Workers comp denied my claim and I ended up having to get a lawyer. I contacted him around the time I was still working when they violated my restriction. Last week they put me through four hours of work conditioning that left me in so much pain that my dr. discontinued it. Work conditioning is used to determine how much you can do before they send you back to work. I had filed for unemployment because I only qualified for $300 in temporary disability. Now they want me to pay back unemployment. I filed an appeal because I have nothing. I haven't been able to do to my job since January due to my injury. I have times when its difficult to sit and walk. To make matters worse my ex came by trying to sweet talk me about getting back together. Come to find out he has a baby on the way with his other ex. When it rains it pours. I don't know what to do financially. I tried to publish my book, but they wanted way too much money. I feel so lost. I have enough saved to maybe last me through October if I am lucky.

At what age do you feel it is necessary to have that talk with your kids about where babies come from. I have learned over time 1 of the first questions kids ask concerning human nature is where do babies come from and better yet how did it get in her stomach. I have always struggled with this. I have a pregnant friend and my son keeps asking questions. I feel he is too young for the real story and I need a creative way to explain
