So right now, my open window provides me with the scent of light rain on hot asphalt, mixed with freshly cut grass, and it reminds me of my childhood before everything went to hell, and I'm just happy. Horsey has left for her summer camp so vacation ensues for both of us now. Also, today I bought my mother a bottle of handsanitizer to keep in her purse and I think that's when it FINALLY, fully, completely dawned on her that she needs to start being more careful and that I'm bitching at her because I care about her. Her response was to buy me a bottle of wine so I can have a glass of wine and relax tonight. Apparently we trade alcohol to show we care in this family. It all sounds great, we should all keep up with the different reactions of our relatives and continue to help them no matter what! It's been an amazing couple of weeks being able to have a few drinks with my friends and socialise after the lockdown and dance the Saturday nights away About to book my first summer holidays too, so excited!!!

Stimuli Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Recently bought myself a Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing. So, I've been pretty preoccupied lately in other words Link to comment
Shay Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I just had a very surprising win. So there's this online class that I signed up for several months ago that was subscription based and it had some core material but was also supposed to have live classes a couple of times a month. But then it was sort of like out of sight out of mind and I didn't realize that the live classes weren't actually happening and there were only recordings of past live classes until after it was too late to request a refund. I felt a bit cheated, but I just decided to accept the situation and I would view the rest of the course material before the subscription was up (I'd paid for a full year), but then I wouldn't renew since there was no new content being added. The instructor saw a conversation where I'd said these things to another member, and he immediately cancelled my subscription and then I got an email from him saying that he tried to offer me a refund (even though I hadn't asked for one) but paypal wouldn't let him because it had been too long since the purchase. He then offered me "store credit". I was slightly annoyed that he had done these things without talking to me first, and I explained to him that unless he has some other non-subscription courses that I don't already have which I'd be interested in, I'd rather just keep the course I paid for until the end of the subscription period. He then offered me lifetime access to that course as well as lifetime access to two other courses that are normally subscription based. I was stunned by his generosity. I never asked for any of that, and only wished that his sales page had been more honest about the contents of the course. I suppose he must be extremely kind-hearted, concerned about his reputation, or both. Either way, he's already given me access to the additional courses so I guess I can't really turn it down even if I wanted to. I did have those other courses on my wishlist as a sort of low priority thing where maybe I'd get them someday when my finances are better. So I guess I can cross them off the list now.

SleepingPhlox Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The gyms are back open from today. Honest to goodness really real gyms. It felt amazing to be there for the first time since March. I love it in there, I love pushing myself to do my best and the only criteria I have to meet is that I'm happy with what I did. Nothing else matters - nobody else's opinion or how I compare to anyone else. Just me and the machines. I missed it so much! Link to comment

I'm happy that I have won several games of bowls since the easing of lockdown has enabled us to start playing again for fun (but not yet organised leagues or competitions). Lost a couple as well of course lol. Link to comment

FadedRose Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I got to see my whole dad’s side of the family together for the first time in 2 years (they live all over the states) and had so much fun.. I forgot how much I missed everybody. We played a couple gambling games with my cousins (which they sucked at) and I ended up dyeing a cousin’s hair, dyeing the cat’s paws, shaving the cat, and shaving a lightning bolt into someone’s leg. We spent a lot of time at the nearest lake. Shot off some fireworks. I also learned two new card games. It was quite eventful to say the least It took 3 horrible Fourth of July’s to get here, but I’m glad I finally had a good one. Link to comment

Shay Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 So as much as it royally sucks that I'm going to have to bring my laptop in to be serviced due to the fan periodically making sounds like it's possessed by some minor demonic entity, the tech guy I spoke to on the phone was awesome. He was the same guy that sold me the laptop and he gave me his schedule for the week so he could take care of me himself. When I asked when his breaks were so I could work around that, he just told me to call the store when I was coming and he'd work his breaks around when I was coming if necessary. Honestly he went above and beyond when he sold me the computer and I'm thrilled to get the same high level of customer service again. He said he'd even be willing to look my computer over for 10-15 minutes before even putting in the work order. I'll have to leave him a glowing review like I did the last time he helped me.
