For some reason i found myself looking behind a radiator in my house last night, I saw some stuff stuck behind so i started fishing it out with sticks.. I found :
- 4 single small socks
- 1 toy audi TT car
- A Best counting ever VHS video cover (from 1989)
- 2 toy wooden blocks
- 1 pair one ladies underpants
- 1 giant kids jigsaw piece
- 1 kitchen skewer
- 2 TV remote controls
- another wooden toy car
- 1 Liverpool football match ticket from late 90s(none of this stuff is ours!)
- The presence of the knickers and a skewer suggests something about the previous occupants of your house.Continuity
- Sounds like the previous owners had ferrets.Akagiyama
- my theory is they used the skewer to try and rescue stuff (TV remote?), dropped that down the back too and then thought 'fuck it'dee-dubs
- I'm impressed by the hoarding abilities of one radiatordee-dubs
- All I'm seeing here is a child who found a place things could disappear into. And, a subsequent occupant who never cleaned their goddamned house properly ;)Nairn

Do you use social media (QBN does not count) to "keep up" with whatever you're interested in? Or do you look at sites/blogs with curated content?
A lot of narrow, weird and interesting stuff is hiding on SoMe, but sifting though the feed of random garbage to find it is getting more than a bit old to me.
- Good article: "Social media is doomed to die" https://www.theverge…jagara
- Instagram was ok until recently. It used to show only what I followed. Now it's tik Tok junk, ads and 'suggested' junk.shapesalad
- Twitter seems the best for info for me. I'm a dinosaur though. I tend to see bits on Instagram / youtube then look to Twitter for more infoPhanLo
- Instagram for graphic and food. Reddit for more niche topics in music, science and theory. Twitter for some news recently.palimpsest
- And YouTube when I want to get more specific and easy to digest info on any of those topics. Works half the time.palimpsest
- IG for photography (yes, it still exists there) and food, YT for food. I use nothing else.Continuity
- Mainly, twitter. I publish things on IG, but I'm not following anyone, just like a personal archive.
No time for anything moreOBBTKN - Insta and tumblr for design related inspimilfhunter

Dear blog,
After four years we broke up and I’m such an idiot. I didn't realize the extent of her pills habit. It goes back to so many big fights on trips, weird behaviors at home, around family, the miscarriage.
How was I so stupid? How am I supposed to deal with this? I’m so ill equipped. I’m vacillating between stone sober anger and ugly crying because I love her. Should I tell her sister? Her mom? Her brother? God, In all my major relationships I’ve been such a failure. I see that now.
Also, my moms dog died. I’m gonna miss her. My mom lives alone and so do I and I’m going to spend more time with her.
Life is hard. Love,
Cannonball
- Failure? No. Absolutely not. If she was keeping her habit from you, how could you have known? Her habit is on her, not you.
You're all right, mate.Continuity - Here's a fact: you can't solve her problem for her. She needs to want it. And if she doesn't want it, there will be nothing you or her sister or mother orContinuity
- ... brother can do to help. I promise you this.Continuity
- Also, RIP your mum's dog. That's so hard when a pet leaves us, Sigh.
Good to spend more time with her.Continuity - You need to tell everyone. It's not your secret, your shame: it's hers. Until I learned this with my alcoholic husband nothing changed—for years. Tell everyone.i_monk
- Text them today.i_monk
- Not out of malice, but to let them know what's been going on. She won't change until she hits bottom, which means ripping away the facade of normalcy.i_monk
- Similar situation over here but no drugs just trauma and it's consequences. Work on yourself: Eat well, exercise, catch yourself thinking about her and stop it,shapesalad
- focus less on a big future goal and more on everyday things you can chip away at that one day will make any goal happen, eg learning something.shapesalad
- Hit the gym and focus on getting super in shape and healthy, feeling physically great really boosts a positive mindset.shapesalad
- Sorry to hear this. If you still love her then a good thing to do is to tell her family so they can help her.microkorg
- hang in there cannonball!!!utopian
- Get. Dr. Paul Conti's book called Trauma. Read it to understand her, then get her to read it.shapesalad
- I don't much like i_monk's advice here, but I can't see anything wrong with it either. Sorry, Cannonball - I can't timagine how I'd deal with this situation xNairn
- Get out! Don’t look back. People need to love themselves before being able to love another. It’s a dead end brother. I am sorry.dibec
- Good for you to spend more time with your mom. I should do the same.milfhunter
- Find a local 'Animal Flow' class and join, or follow at home with YT videos: https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
- Narin—until I stopped covering for him, outed his drinking to family and colleagues, it was only getting worse. And it wasn't my burden to bear.i_monk
- He's just passed 800 days sober, cumulatively nearly 1200 days, with a slip-up after his first year sober.i_monk

Wife just turned 50. And it already shows in her character...
I'm not going to tell you more, I think she reads all my messages.
Call to Europol if I'm not posting anything in a month ;)

- Question: How long have you been together? It took me about 8 years to trust my phone or laptop unlocked around my gf.garbage
- Nothing to hide. Way back I had a gf that was constantly stealing my phone and would text a "who are you?" to women's names in my contacts.garbage
- I had a new phone once, and so this girl texted a Becky at 2 in the morning with something like "AND HOW DO YOU KNOW GARBAGE?"garbage
- The response was "I'm his mom, can you give him his phone back?". My mom's a fucking legend.garbage

I am maximum frustrated. Traveled to shoot a model. Planned 6 weeks ahead. Expensive location. Distinct styling. Model canceled shoot the minute we were supposed to meet due to a jealous boyfriend.
Can’t believe this. She is a professional model (meaning it’s her main job). How can this be true?
Now I am in an expensive place all by myself. I feel empty and so disappointed.
- Holy fuck. Has this happened before? Will you be compensated in some way anyway?Continuity
- No compensation. All at my own risk. Last time it happened was 2013 when a model partied too hard the night before our shoot.SimonFFM
- fuck all. find somebody local asap, and forget about it.sted
- I tried to find a local model but didn’t succeed.SimonFFM
- Good god. And I suppose you don't have a contract you can forward a lawyer to sue her?Continuity
- Also, did you have a hair & makeup person there, too?Continuity
- Luckily no mua. Contract is after the shoot. Doesn’t cover things like that. Barely happens. But when it does it sucks.SimonFFM
- Maybe it's time to re-think this, and make them sign on the dotted line before the shoot happens, just to protect yourself.Continuity
- This is not how the biz goes, unfortunately.SimonFFM
- Eh. Obviously that thought doesn't help you. Sorry.Continuity
- Thanls for your kind words! I'll get over it.SimonFFM
- That sucks. Also, she's not a professional model is she acts like that.********
- I'd still have a contract that at least forces models to acknowledge their responsibilities (including stupid shit like this).formed
- Personally, I'd probably be posting a comment about her warning other photogs. Not that that would help you, but pros shouldn't be doing this shit.formed

- Agree with shapes. Ultimate apple pie in exotic locations.misterhow
- boyfriend was jealous because of your apple pies, I heard he can barely fry an egg.oey_oey
- There are barely agency models in my business. Agencies are like pimps and you cannot plan the styling as you cannot speak with the model directly.SimonFFM
- In 10 minutes I have my second shoot. I always have a backup shoot when I am in special locations and traveled far to shoot.SimonFFM
- Okay, so it's not a total wash.
Have a good shoot, mate!Continuity - I was gonna' say plan it like a hotels&airline – over book if one ghosts the otherone gets twice the exposure. You keep doing you!ArchitectofFate
- It's UN-NICE week for me. Go find a real problem. "Oh no, my model didn't show and I'm accidentally on vacation" is not something that should upset you.garbage
- Hopefully you did a shoot anywaycannonball1978
- Ouch! So sorry Simon :( Hope you can recover quick from this... And yes, she is totally un-professional, what a prickOBBTKN

Idiot me.
To make things worse with my wife, I couldn't think of anything better than getting drunk with friends and coming home late.
Now, I have a horrible hangover, a lot of work (which I don't know how I'm going to finish) and a wife who is more worried about me than angry, to whom I don't know what explanation to give for why sometimes I'm such an asshole...
Fantastic monday to you all, can't be worse than mine!!
Lol
- Greek yogurt and honey on the lunch break. Walk down streets that you have no memories on, and keep the idea that pain is temporal. You'll be ok.garbage

Has anyone started a business or incorporated their freelance and just felt icky?
Especially now with social media, there's so much to do just to force strangers to see your stuff.
It feels dirty paying for advertising on IG or networking at parties just to get customers or clients.
The world doesn't need more of this.
