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

Good morning! @Hotaru @ArraDreaming And anyone else who wants to say good morning!

I have been up and down in and out of bed, dreaming of the symbols my guide sent me, and I am grateful for her input.

I ate way too much chicken last night though, and feel a bit sick. Gonna have something healthy today. Hmm... maybe some fish?

Re: Newbies Just Chat

(Why is there no way to just ping the staff? I don't know who's on this morning. #1 feedback priority if you ask me. That and pinging people seems the only way anyone communicates around here, which is if you ask me, utterly ridiculous.)

I woke up this morning, and wandered dreary eyed half asleep into my living area, and my socks soaked in about 2 inches of water. The roof/ceiling leaked again with the storm this morning. I could have electrocuted myself. Luckily it hadn't engulfed the powerboard for my desk, but the usual trick of laying down towels/quilt didn't even chip away at the lake in the middle of the floor. AND there is a new worker coming in 2 hours to help with the 2nd bedroom junk, which was to prep the space so tradies could come in and fix the ceiling under insurance since they've assured us again that the roof issue is fixed. I knew it wasn't, but what do I know? The worst thing is having to interact with my dad who is my landlord, and yeah... (deleted).

How's your morning going?

Re: Newbies Just Chat

hey there @deshift I have passed this on to the SANE staff to reply as I am not sure how you can tell who is on shift. Don't hesitate to contact them if you have any questions or queries as it is always good to get the information you need to help you through. sounds like it has been stressful for you, look after yourself 🙂

Hi @deshift

If you want to know who is moderating you can type @moderator and whoever is on will see it and respond.

I'm curious about you saying it's utterly ridiculous the way things work ie, pinging someone. I'm assuming you mean tagging someone? Would you have any ideas as to how it might better work?

Warm wishes

Hanami

Re: Newbies Just Chat

@hanami Yes, I mean tagging people. Yes I have some ideas.

I have other more pressing issues at present than the layout and overall design of the forum.

Hi how are we all?


I’ve asked for some thoughts or advice on something a little over 3 hours ago since I’m stressed and quite fearful at the moment, but since nobody has responded maybe it would be good if I could just get a chance to meet some people on here and have a nice chat instead 🙂

being new can definitely be hard with these kind of things so I never know if what I’m actually doing is really the right thing since I have to get used to it all…

hope we are all doing well

Re: Newbies Just Chat

@Singer_89 Thanks, I'm doing well.

I'm engaged in something that's holding my interest and aligns with my values, so I'm focused.

try to get some rest if you're feeling tired. I hope you make good dreams.

🙂

Re: Newbies Just Chat

This is a great idea @deshift nothing better than good chat some times to either help pass the time, general distraction or whilst taking a break from working on something

yesterday I started trying to reorganise my garage. There are some limitations for wall availability due to my laundry being in my garage plus items for my internet and solar panels already being fastened onto the walls. I didn’t start to the afternoon so didn’t get much done but one wall already looking better, now have little bit of storage shelves above my washing machine.

today have been playing Tetris (measuring and moving items to see what fits and works better. Currently enjoying listening to the rain and looking at my plants who are thriving due to the rain
