| I still have to remind myself, when I'm around people my own age, that these are my peers. I Still tend to think of them as 'adults'. I can be quite childish and annoying at times. I don't feel any different than i did at 17, really. Yes! This is me as well. If a group of people at work are having ... |

When I graduated from uni, I wished I had family there. I had two friends instead. While I was grateful for their presence, I felt sad that none of my family showed up.
Kind of opposite from what you're experiencing, OP. |

| I'm interested in postage stamps and I have told people where I volunteer (second hand shop) that if any stamps are donated could I please see them before they're put out on the shop floor. So I've made my interest heard there. My whole family knows I like anything Japanese but I only talk about it ... |

| I feel 17ish. Not quite grown up because I still feel inferior when adults are talking. That I have nothing worthy to add. I still sometimes daydream when others are talking due to my inattentive nature and that doesn't do me any favours. |

Well in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, at the end Shredder falls into a rubbish truck and seemingly gets crushed (I think). |

| I was reading that Australian Kmart and Australian Target are both owned by the same company. That's quite possibly true, it explains why I've seen anko products in both Target and Kmart. New Time, you mentioned Big W. There's one near where I live. I usually go there to buy drinks at a discounted ... |

I guess being a homebody has helped, as well as being at work by myself. The last thing I had was a minor sinus infection last year. I tested many times for Covid... |

DuckHairback, I've been wondering what your avatar is a picture of. I like it but I don't know what it is!
I figured this is as good a place to ask if any.
I've been a member here for a long time but I mostly lurk or feel I have nothing worthwhile to say. |

| I generally don't seek conversations from strangers...but I often try for a chuckle. I find humor to be a good lubricant and have been cultivating a dry sense of humor. If I can get someone to chuckle they generally seem to be more tolerant and polite to me. All of this. I like humour and being fun... |

^Yeah, if countries could get together and come up with universal bra sizes, then there wouldn't be so much confusion.
My bra tags list a number of different countries' bra sizes and there is so much variation.
Thank you for the link, that site has my size!  |

| I have to tie my hair back a lot (for work) and so I use hair spray to keep stray hair from sticking out. This means I have to wash my hair twice a week. I tried once a week but the hair spray build-up got stuck to my scalp no matter how much I brushed my hair. I don't like washing my hair because I... |
