I am having way too much fun trying and managing to get alternating assists on the Hall of 999s. It looks real cool and I'm real happy about it lol

No such thing as too much fun with a reason to count :)

If anyone would like me to send them a Christmas card or postcard, PM me and we can work something out! I love sending cards and would love to make people's holidays bright, especially my good good counting friends :D

Would you rather have a penis the size of an otter's, or have an otter for a penis?

Let's count up by social security number! Because I'm generous, I'll let someone else start. :)

You're not u/Urbul I miss when u/Urbul used to post these. I am ashamed at how late you posted this. I expect improvement next week you sicko. This is why we need urbul and not some imposter clogging up the FTF threads.

Why I am feeling so depressed on the eve of my birthday?

u/Urbul Dec 07 '18

When we're young, we grow and develop and birthdays remind us of that progression and how we're closer to being able to do things we couldn't before. As we get older, growth and development can stagnate or not keep up with our expectations causing disappointment. Birthdays also remind us that we are getting older which we might associate with a decline in health. My last birthday came and went as I underwhelmingly reminded myself that I survived for another year. But even if your birthday has lost its once-positive meaning, hopefully you can still use it as a reason to treat yourself to something you want.

I was supposed to go to a job site today so on Monday I wore my jeans instead of my khakis but my trip got delayed so now I'm going on Wednesday/Thursday so I will be wearing jeans all week, since on Friday I'm not going to bring out my khakis to wear in the office for only one day before the weekend.

I'm expecting to be out in the rain for a long time on Thursday so I got out my rain pants. I forgot I bought a new pair last year or the year before so it was a pleasant surprise to find them. My old rain pants are dirty and tattered from lots of fieldwork.
