Newbies Just Chat

Newbies Just Chat

Are you a little bit overwhelmed like I am here? Finding it hard to crack into the established conversations? New to the forum, and don't want to start a whole new discussion, but want to do more than lurk, but maybe you don't want to ask for help you just want to hang out and vibe? Then you are exactly like how I am right now!

I'm just feeling lonely, and don't want to talk about self-help strategies, or getting better... I don't know what I want to talk about though...

Re: Newbies Just Chat

Hi there, THANKYOU🙏...stumbling around & a bit disorientated on platform😬... Have retreated to my room with Indian ( of the butter chicken variety) & craving finding my tribe to share life with. Thought I would have another crack at navigating my way on platform & making some connections. Bailed last time.. I request patience in advance..I do not normally do anything online..sheer desperation!!

....Did someone say ICECREAM😍🤗

@Hotaru @ArraDreaming @tyme

Hehe, Hotaru! It's a forum post and reply format, no-one expects you to respond quickly! Take your time, have breaks, get up and stretch. That's what I do! And welcome! Good on you for navigating here and having the courage to say hello! I look forward to hanging out here!

Jay, silverbeet from the garden sounds delish, but you can keep your stinky blue cheese away from me! I'm a Brie connoisseur through and through!

tyme, Triple choc brownie sounds delightful, personally I'm partial to a boysenberry, or a macadamia salted caramel, but each to their own!

Thank you all for vibing for a chat! I'm grateful!

I really like this thread @deshift - it's so friendly and open.... nothing too heavy, eh? - except the triple choc brownie ice-cream.

The ben and jerry's ice cream is divine. I never buy it because it's so expensive. It was given to me.

So yes, ice cream it is @Hotaru @ArraDreaming

I knew a guy who loved his food. He'd never eaten blue vein cheese before. He decided to take the biggest piece from the cheese platter... you should've seen his face! The taste was so strong it nearly knocked him out! Never again!

So yeah, that's my story for the night 🙂

@tyme Hurr Hurr HURR! Heavy Ice Cream Convo Sandwich!

We can be heavy elsewhere, and this will be here when we feel light again.

That is a lovely gift tyme, especially since it does not clutter your space! It might clutter your tummy though! I think I just invented tummy clutter! It's about how I feel at the moment, except replace the triple choc with triple chick!

tyme, it is a cool story. (but it's lacking in dragons. 😝) no, it's very funny, I am just poking fun. I loathe blue cheese. I tried some as a young child, and blegh. It's up there with caviar, or prawn gizzards. Eegh! I am otherwise a massive foodie! I love to cook!

I remember the first time I had a New Orleans style pizza with anchovies. OMG. It was wood fire oven baked, and only slightly better than the first time I had Turkish Pide. Ah, to be a carb consumer again.

I had a yummy platter though this weekend, which hit my wallet pretty hard from Woolies instead of being clever and going to ALDI, but I was feeling weird, and didn't want to do the right thing. I just took the wallet hit and moved on with my Solo Sunday.

Anyway, thanks for the chat tonight. We'll chat again later this week.

This seems like a message board... rather than a chat

Re: Newbies Just Chat

yeah, you are correct @Mordecai but somehow, "Newbies Just Message" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

the key thing here is that we are "just chatting" as opposed to telling our story, or introducing ourselves, or recording healthy habits, or asking for help. as @tyme pointed out, we keep things light here, and the negativity and bad vibes to a minimum.
