[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1831573, member: 89387"] Online friends are actually a new thing for me, ever since I signed on to this website a little over a year ago. The only other social media I do at this point is a neighborhood thing called "Nextdoor," but I suppose I'm going to get dragged (probably kicking and screaming :P ) onto Facebook sooner or later by the rest of my family, if I ever want to keep in touch with my nieces and nephews. I don't mind talking with people, but usually in fairly small doses. I have a high need for solitude also, but I think I get plenty of it during the week when I'm home alone with the reptiles while my husband is at work. Talking with government agencies is Not my idea of a fun conversation. :roll: I've been going through that lately trying to get my "Obamacare" health insurance straightened out for 2018, and if it weren't for the tax penalty I probably wouldn't bother. A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that professional health care is a luxury that I can't afford, but I suppose it will be nice to have a minimal safety net just in case I need to go to the emergency room with a runaway infection, or in case I take a flop on the ice and break my arm, etc. I also find it easier to talk about emotionally charged issues in writing because I have a "buffer" between me and the other person -- I can think about it and edit before I hit "send". My husband and I each have our own email address (actually, he has 3 or 4 of them, but I only need the one), and whenever I'm upset with him for one reason or the other, I try to write him an email instead of blowing up at him in person. Then I save it as a draft and sleep on it for a day or two, and then I look at it again after I've cooled off a little, and decide whether or not I want to send it as is or modify it. And if I've realized in the meantime that whatever it was I was so upset about at the time is not really worth arguing about, then I can just delete it. I was lucky enough to have my own room as soon as I was old enough to need it. My two sisters are 13 and 14 years older than me, so they were my babysitters rather than my playmates, and they had both moved to Alaska by the time I was 8 years old -- my mother and me and most of the rest of our family were still in California. So I never really learned how to share my living space with another person. Getting married when I was in my early 40s was a big adjustment. It's amazing that my husband hasn't gotten sick of me after 18 years of putting up with my being a "female dog" (if you know what I mean :wink: ) about so many things around the house... That's a cool idea using carrots for edible and non flammable "cake candles." :lol: I finally managed to find the energy to "cook up" another batch of Repashy Grub Pie on Thursday morning, stocked up the freezer, and gave Puff a little treat. He went nuts for the stuff, as usual. He just had roaches with the usual calcium and vitamin powder for his big Saturday meal yesterday. We're out of crickets and we were planning to go get more on Friday evening, but I decided to wait for better road conditions. We've continued to have "warmer" than usual temperatures just above freezing in the daytime, dropping back to just below freezing at night, with a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain -- the result is a giant ice rink pretty much everywhere. This is the sort of thing that we have the grub pie for -- so if we run out of live bugs and can't get more right away, I don't think Puff will mind. He'll probably think we're letting him eat "candy" for dinner, although I suppose his poops would probably get a little messy. :mrgreen: My sister's turtle likes banana too. But not as much as she likes earthworms. It's actually pretty gory to watch her eat an earthworm. :puke: Squirmles ate a couple of mice yesterday too (frozen thawed, as usual -- we don't feed him live ones), and for some reason he's been hanging out at the cool end of his tank ever since. He does that every once in a while, and I get to worry that he's not going to digest properly. But as long as he poops in a few days and it doesn't come out the front end instead, we can probably call it good. :) [/QUOTE]
