Something I like to be able to do and it was always something my parents, grandma, and auntie used to encourage me and my brothers to do and now I encourage my kids to do is going on walks.

If I am feeling up to it and the weather is good enough I like to go on walks either around the area or get public transport to the nearest beach where we live and then go for a long walk around that area as well. It not only makes me feel so much better getting out of the house and having a change or scenery but it also helps me keep fit as well.

Do you like to go on walks? How often do you go on walks?

What are your achievements? Anything you are proud of? What have you done to feel good about? Do you have more goals to better your mental health?
I’m proud to be married for over 24 years. We also have no debt so are financially stable.
Some people have long-term goals such as being debt free while others focus on short-term ones such as acing an upcoming exam.

You have your high school body, shape, etc. The kicker is you have to deal with all the health/medical issues you have gotten since you graduated high school, or got your GED. If you had health issues during high school, they'd still be there on top of whatever issues happened post HS. You would have all the history, knowledge, etc you have gained post HS. What would be different and change for you?

For me? I think a lot of the problems would be related to bathroom usage more than anything. I'd have to be more careful eating and hope I don't have to go badly afterwards.

I thought of this thread after seeing posts on my high school social media and how much cooler/better it is nowadays versus when I was there. ALWAYS happens, even at places I have worked for/at.

If you never attended high school and/or dropped out, then I dunno haha.

Growing up, as kids, we always have that one job we dream of being able to do when we get older. Sometimes it goes to plan and we find a career doing the dream job we hoped for as a kid and other times, we take a different course and do something completely different as a job when we are older.

What was your dream job when you were a child? Did you grow up and get the job you dreamed of or did your career go differently?

When it comes to people being awake, some people prefer to be awake during the night when it is quieter and they are less likely to get disturbed and other people may like to be up bright and early to get everything done throughout the day.

I myself am much more of a night owl as I prefer quiet time at night to get things done.

Are you more of a morning person or a night owl?

As someone who works from home but also has things to do away from my PC, I tend to keep up with things on my phone. I don't as much tend to post on forums or send anything like emails on my phone as I much prefer to do that on my PC but when it comes to keeping in the loop about things or even just checking the news, social media, or emails, I do like to do that on my phone.

Do you use your phone for most web browsing?

The Alexa devices have been out for quite some time now allowing many people who wish to have one in their home to have got one.

Some people may only have one in their home and others will have more than one depending on what they use them for.

Do you have an Alexa device in your home? Which one do you have?

Did you like this movie?

I thought Megan Fox was awesome in it.

What is a song you dislike and why?

Music is food for the soul, they say. There are people that set the tone for the day with music. Are you the type that cannot sleep fine unless a music is playing on the background?

Every one of us has a favorite song that we like listening to again and again and even humming, right? What is your favorite song? I like Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd and Roadhouse Blues by The Doors. I also like People are Strange by the Doors, Smoke in the water by Deep Purple, and Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.

We've had a lot of old movies produced in the past. Movies that we watched as kids and teenagers. Have you created time to rewatch any of those old movies?

So many of us will have had TV shows that ended either because the producers didn't feel like they were able to continue or because it was never gaining enough of an audience for them to continue.

Out of all the TV shows you have watched that were canceled if you could see one make a comeback, which would you choose?

Below are resources and support for everybody. Feel free to share some in this thread.

Working to earn is one of the ways that one can get to solve life problems and responsibilities. Are you always excited about going to work everyday?

Do you miss being younger? I see so many who say they do and I get that. I honestly miss being younger and not having a care in the world. I miss not having as many responsibilities. I also just miss in a way going to school as I actually had friends then even if only at school.

What do you miss about being younger?

M3GAN was released in January 2023 and so far, it has had a lot of good reviews with many people saying that the movie is amazing. I have seen clips of the movie myself and from what I have seen from the clips, it really does look like an amazing movie. I am waiting for my eldest two children to have some time so we can all watch it together.

Have you seen M4GAN?

JOhn Wick 4 was released last week and I believe is now in cinemas world-wide. My son went with his friends on Sunday to watch it and he was a little worried about the movie being 3 hours long and was hoping it would be entertaining enough so he didn't end up bored halfway through the movie.

It seems he very much enjoyed the movie and seemed happy about watching it.

Have you seen John Wick 4 yet?

Something I realized I can not go a day without doing is listening to music. Whether I play it on my phone with my earbuds or if I have it playing out loud from my Alexa or even my PC if I am busy I always listen to music daily.

I find listening to music helps keep me motivated and lifts my mood as well.

Do you listen to music daily?

I was in the church choir all my childhood and I had the pleasure of learning how to play so much musical instruments.
The one's that I have mastered well are piano, flute, guitar, violin and trumpet.

Which one's do you know how to play?

I like listening to rock music. Even though I was introduced to different types of music, I was never interested in other genres. I like The Doors, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin. Do you listen to rock music? What kind of rock music do you like? Who is your favorite rock artist and rock band?

What do you think about Blu-Ray? Do you think they’ll become obsolete?
We’ve had to buy them more as they seem to be compatible with our TV. Regular DVDs don’t play as well.
What do you think will come after Blu-Rays? Do you think it will be a hit? Or do you think people would want to get out of the DVD portion?

When it comes to sports, some people like playing one kind of sport and others like to play more than one kind of sport. You may also be someone who doesn't like to play sports at all, it is a personal preference and what interests you.

I myself do not mind playing tennis or even having a kick around with a football with my kids if I feel up to it but I don't do it as often as I used to when I was a kid.

What sports do you like to play?

If so, why? I think here in the USA we do need it improved. I'd like to see more funding in special education as someone who went through it. I'd like to see teachers and teacher's aides get paid more than they do.

I am curious if anyone here likes or cares for fast food. If you do, what's your go to place and order? If not, why? I get some of us choose not to eat fast food due to health reasons or similar. I'd love to hear both sides here.

I like McDonald's mainly for breakfast and lunch. I order the sausage mcmuffins or the sausage biscuit. I sometimes will also get breakfast at Burger King and get the croissanwich.
