My job, as a five foot female nurse was to be in the room during intake so when the patient accused my male coworker of sexual harassment there was a witness he’d done nothing of the kind. We have to protect each other!!!

Mindset and wellness coach and founder of Clear Space For Joy, Julie Vincent, and global joy speaker and bestselling author of Messy Joy: How Joy Can Begin Before Your Difficulties End, Robin Shear, agree that in adulthood, we often tend to rob ourselves of fun, intentionally or not.
"As adults, fun is often (incorrectly) seen as a luxury. It’s something we focus on for our kids or on vacation, but see it as a nice-to-have instead of an essential component to our whole life wellness," says Vincent.
"All of the shoulds, beliefs, and stories pile up, adding in the unnecessary pressure that keeps us busy, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled. With mindset shifts and small daily rituals, you can consciously create more fun and joy. It’s a whole new way to see and move through life—one where you’re deeply connected to yourself, family, and friends."
My home city had a nocturnal house. I had to go in and fix a light. The animals inside were Sugar Gliders (I think. It was a very long time ago). I was wearing overalls and one discovered an excellent game where it snuck in and climbed up my leg and up out my collar and leapt off my shoulder. While it did this I froze as I couldn't move for fear of hurting it. As soon as it leapt to the nearest tree I quickly tucked my overall legs into my socks. Still kept coming back as I worked and climbed up the outside of the overalls. Must have used me as a jumping point a half dozen times before I was finished and left the cage :-)
I volunteer to be your father's assistant and I will do it for free. I just will not go into the reptile house.
In this tourist region here, we have one adult-only camping, as in child-free camping. One restaurant decided to not accept familys with toddlers and younger after 17h. Both establishments get a shitload of hate, while 99,9% of all restaurants and accomodations here not only welcome kids of all ages, but also cater for them with special meals and playgrounds. Why can't people accept that it is totally okay to cater for different age and interest groups?
We have a little pizza joint here that's like that. It's fine by me, but I wish they'd at least advertise that they're not kid-friendly (they're anti-children, just not kid-friendly). My husband and I wanted to try it so we trekked all the way across town (no car, so it included planning a bus trip, taking a stroller and it was a whole thing for us). There was no indication on their website, no signs outside, nothing that they didn't even have a high chair. The dining room wasn't even set up for groups larger than 2, and they wouldn't even move tables around. We made it work, but we haven't been back. I don't mind that more adults-only places are popping up, but they really need to make it clear on their websites.

As a matter of safety, I would prohibit users of certain substances on certain rides. The sign at the gate of the ride would read "You May Not Be This High To Ride This Ride".
I'm not sure people understand the vast popularity this would have
I got a ton of hate for asking online when our newly-refurbished museum would be having adult-only visiting hours. I love the museum. But those exhibit halls have amazing acoustics, and the sound of screaming kids carries long and far. Just Let me look at the mummies with my wine glass in hand peacefully, please.
I, on the other hand, very much enjoy exploring under the surface. There's a lot of very cool stuff there. It's not my business, it's my pleasure! But it's certainly not for everyone.
I was at seaside many times, spent hours. Not once I saw anything that lives there to jump out to take leak or poop. Hence why I don't swim in the sea.

"Jaws" ruined me. My husband & I lived in San Diego for 9 years. I didn't put toe one in the water. RUINED, I tell you.
"Think back on the joy of childhood. Do you remember how exciting it was when the recess bell rang? What did it feel like to play and have fun for 15 minutes? While you may not realize it, your teachers were counting on these intentional joy breaks to energize you and keep you on track for the rest of the day. And then, we grew up and became adults, often leaving fun behind, focusing instead on success," explains Shear.
"Generally speaking, we were prepared to be productive members of society from a very young age and fun wasn’t just forgotten, it was even discouraged in many aspects of adult life. The good news is, we need to view fun differently. It's often considered frivolous when it should be included as foundational."

Awesome. I too have a responsible candyman who is in business with two partners and they all talk to each other if someone is becoming problematic. They know quite a few others that some of us go to and will also tip them off.

Load More Replies...This. And the flashing LEDs on bikes can seriously trot. I'm becoming borderline epileptic.
Coming home one night a yank tank was coming towards me with super bright headlights, so I flashed them with my high beams and they flashed me back with their high beams. I had to pull over as I waited for my eyes to readjust. So yes, Carol, I hate you too!
Incorporating moments in our day-to-day that allow for some joy and excitement can improve our well-being and make us more productive. And we don't have to plan big or elaborate activities to achieve this. It's all in the little things!
"I cannot stress enough the importance of dripping in small things each day that just make you feel good. Despite modern society's mindset that silliness, play and good old fun isn't a priority, there is growing evidence that is actually an essential part of our well-being (I'd even say it's the secret ingredient!)" says Vincent.
I worked at McDonald's when I was young, and one of the most fun things to do at work was to see regular customers early, and prepare their special burgers while they were waiting in the queue. Seeing that smile when I waved to them, to make them realize I had seen them, made my day, many days.
That's more wholesome than my offie automatically taking a half bottle of famous grouse off the shelf when I walk in. Had the pleasure of saying no thanks the other night.
Before we retired my late husband and I worked at the same university. We would stop for cups of take-out coffee at a convenience store that was on our way to work. The clerk who was always on duty gave me the store phone number and asked me to call her when we left home and she would make a fresh pot of coffee for us.
I work at a gas station that used to have a high turnover rate of employees (before they made me the boss lol) a few weeks ago a older fella told me that coming to my store and seeing the same people consistently everyday is the only bright spot in his life since his wife passed away several years ago...it's the little things
That was a lot of money for a deterrent that can be completely defeated by a piece of plywood.
What a despicable way of just letting a human being , homeless or not to seek shelter from the rain . Also wherever a homeless person tries to find a place to rest and sleep , they get kicked out. Why don't they find a solution to help house the homeless! "But for the grace of God go I" i hope the people responsible for this remember that sentence.
Makes me so angry. In Queensland (I think) there’s a council that has banned homeless people, threatening them with $8k fines and throwing away their belongings, tents etc. Like, you’re actively putting these people into more poverty just because you don’t like the way they take up room. Eff you, Moreland council.
Load More Replies...Really. Like, if you have all that extra money how about building more low cost housing?
Out of all the empty office buildings from everyone telecommuting. Win win. People get to continue to work from home. The homeless get housing. Stop making people go back to the office and start converting office spaces into housing.
Load More Replies...Why are we doing this to human beings instead of helping them get on their feet and help them deal with whatever mental/social/d.r.u.g problem. Some don't want to be helped but the vast majority do. They are people. You are people. We are people. How much did those spikes cost by the way?
With lanes on both sides, having people stat there is risky, they can both cause accidents or get run over. Depending on how settled the squatters get it is also a risk that tents and waste may blow out on the road, causing hazards
Sadly, when these same cities get involved in providing homes their costs skyrocket for a variety of reasons (graft, waste, fraud), and they barely build any, so, future considerations get spiked because they saw the absurd previous costs.
Often housing for the homeless comes with rules they can’t abide by. Like no pets. Or no d***s. Or no visitors. They just need regular housing where they’re not being spied on. A social worker who lives downstairs in every building. That can get them hooked up with benefits, MH Care, and a*******n treatment if they want it.

Animal Control could tell me this about any animal and I'd think "That checks out".
OK why would one call animal control if they see a raccoon sitting in its habitat? Help! I have rabies now or something?
Having more fun throughout the day also doesn’t have to mean adding more activities and more things. Sometimes, the opposite is true. Removing things from our schedule and freeing up some space in it can allow play, connection, and flow to flourish in our day-to-day lives. Eliminating not-so-fun activities that consume our attention, like phone time, gives us more time to do things that are enjoyable without getting too overwhelmed.
"The Harvard Business Review determined that regularly pausing a couple of times during the workday not only improves our well-being, but when we avoid screens and include movement (the new recess!), it helps us be more productive. What a win! Imagine how you'd feel on Monday morning if you expected your day to be less stressful and more successful because recess breaks were scheduled in," suggests Shear.
Honestly, If I'd been in the funeral procession, this would have made me laugh and made my day. But then between my dads funeral and the reception I encouraged my bestie (who was there to support me) to tell the funeral director all about a reboot of Quantum Leap because i remembered he'd geeked out over some of my scifi and fantasy key rings. I was right, he was excited to hear about it and even if it wasn't really funeral appropriate conversation I enjoyed listening to the two of them have a moment of joy.
You know how every wedding has those aunties that ~love~ to go around and ask all the unmarried people if they're next and why not? I hope every single one of them saw this kid waving at them and took it so personally🥰
Okay...that made me laugh, because I've faced enough Southern Aunties and Grannies about my decision to remain single and childfree. I swear to God, some of those women could work for the CIA the way they interrogate people.

Turbo dude sounds kind of like a cartoon character. " Cat stuck in a tree? Here comes turbo dude”
Alpha males are obnoxious arrogant inhuman misogynist's lol nothing to brag about ! N ones us sensible females steer well clear of really don’t get why they think they are so wonderful cos they really aren’t 😂
Evil grin 😈. The only situation where “alpha” male is commonly used unironically is in paranormal romance. Guys, you’re claiming to be the clueless, overbearing, overprotective, side chick who ends up totally subservient to the woman he adores. Time to start acting like it 😉
The naturalist who coined the term noted that the Alpha wolf wasn't the one in front, it was the one bringing up the rear making sure that no one was left behind and every member of the pack was safe. He spent years trying to correct the misperception without success.
Well to be clear, some of us tried to prevent all that from happening but there are more idiots than we expected.
I'm so looking forward to the moment when the penny drops for all these whiners when they realise that their generation is being blamed for the state of the world/country/whatever when they get older.
Either I'm too old or too young, but my parents never said that, ever. They spent their working lives being teachers to future kindergarten teachers here in Sweden, i.e. they wanted all kids to have the best possible start in life, maybe in case someone f**ked everything up, like the Orange Clown has done.
Oh yes, the obligatory ''blame Boomers for everything'' post.
Well, who else did it? Did you ever say "OMG, here's the blame the Germans for everything" when it's about the H*******t in WWII???
Load More Replies...If you’re struggling with ideas on how to find fun things to do in your routine, Shear recommends trying to think like a child for a moment.
"As a global joy speaker helping burned-out audiences have more joy in life, my most requested talk is about the transformative power of inviting the joy of childlike wonder back into our adult lives. Could we please have more fun? Yes, by thinking like a child.
When's the last time you blasted your favorite song and enjoyed a rowdy 4-minute dance party in the kitchen? Or started a timer just to see how quickly you could walk around the perimeter of the building... aiming to beat your record by one second a day, just because you could?" she asks.
While those guys say "We get paid the same as him, and we never have to play dodgeball, ever again. It's GREAT!".
Sorry, playing dodgeball all day seems like work to me. As a teacher, I considered myself in the performing arts (as any of my students could have told you).
He is right. I teach art in school and get paid the same as all the language and math teachers who have to correct exams all the time.
Those of us who grew up during the Cold War, that was your best option. I lived 30 miles from a primary target.

Load More Replies...IKR. Some people want eternal life, whatever means, and they don’t think they’re going to get bored? Even in this short life, they all need so much entertainment to keep themselves from nuts.
Worse: what do they do at the end of the universe? When the stars go out? Let's assume they make sure they cannot die (because that would just mean they die from some accident sooner or later) they'd end on some small rock in the eternal blackness of space. Forever. Great future!
Load More Replies...Read "Alas Babylon" It was a must read when I was in high school in the 1970's during the cold war. It is a work of fiction, but it does honestly and pretty well technically describe what will happen when/if we have a nuclear war. It follows a family in Florida. I still read it every so often and the state we are in now, I believe everyone should to at least know how they can be prepare. For instance: no electricity for weeks=no clean water (water treatment plants will go off line), Only news will be from the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System) what you hear now as "This is a test, this is only a test." Nothing else will be broadcast and you will have to get it from a radio that uses batteries unless you live some where that is remote and still has electrical service. There will be no way to store perishable food. I could go on and on. Read The Book. It will make you think.
I've been stockpiling food, water, OTC medicine, propane, etc. since November 6th. A lot of people say I'm overreacting. I don't think so.

If there's a nuclear blast, I want to be in that sweet spot where the amount of radiation I get is not enough to be fatal but just the right amount to give me super powers. "Don't make UKGrandad angry: you won't like him when he's angry"!
I'm 5 miles from an AFB that's a high priority target, so I'm screwed anyway you look at it.
The effing children's hospital where there is no street parking and as a parent you usually stay with your kid.
To my knowledge, the kids paid $5 every time they left U of M CS Mott, which was rare, in the month our grandson was there. We never paid over $5 the several times we visited (6-8 hours). Just took the pass in with us, and they validated.
Load More Replies...But how else are hospitals in uk meant to make money ?? Usa I understand but come on bits help our bad NHS
I once had to pay for parking at the ER!! I had no idea how long I was going to be. And I had no change. So I called security and explained my situation. The let me pass. Good thing, because I was there for 11 hours.
"Seeing our situations through the eyes of a child changes everything," explains Shear further. "Need a tip? Think back to what it was like to begin sentences with, "I wonder what would happen if..." and then find out what happens more often. Recess breaks are just the beginning. To feel less depleted and more alive, inviting your inner child's voice back into the conversation is a game-changer."
We had a Chinese restaurant exactly like this, including the long wait time. I think they ordered takeout from another restaurant to maintain the illusion.
Okay this reminds me of a werewolf den from a book. Their cover was a Chinese restaurant. Once in a while someone actually ordered food from them, so the werewolves ordered takeout from another Chinese place and delivered the food to the customer.

You cant just sale food from your house here so he only sold his pizza fri and sat from 10pm to 2am out his back door. He got busted but it was quite popular for the bars near by!
Too bad he got busted! The mental image of backdoor midnight pizza sales made me laugh. I know a few people who have food prep out of their home and it's technically illegal, you're supposed to have a commercial prep kitchen, but I don't care about that regulation. Give me good food from a home or prep kitchen, as long as it's good!

Whereas Vincent suggests making a menu that you can easily choose from each day to allow more fun moments in your day-to-day. "It can include things that are pure fun, like a dance party to your favorite songs or simple things that boost your mood, like a sunset walk with your dog after dinner. You can also make the mundane things more fun, like listening to your favorite podcast while doing the laundry or calling a close friend while you make dinner!"

Load More Replies...Of course, it's impossible to completely avoid bad moments in life, and when that happens, Shear recommends treating it like a game. "The game's not over. If you're keeping score and want to have more fun, focus on the good as well. To recover from a setback, train yourself to ask, "What went well? Where's the good?" Kids love rewards, but so do adults. We all like to be caught doing it right, but often only acknowledge the difficulties of life," she explains.
"So, to bounce back from a bad day, keep track of your wins, good choices, and things that were positive. Keep a sticker chart, a tally sheet, put your favorite emoji in your online calendar, or throw a paper clip into a jar... the game is won when you watch the good visually outnumber the bad. It won't mean that the bad didn't happen, but you'll be training yourself to see the whole picture. Be sure to play the full game: Intentionally tracking the good raises the fun factor of even the toughest day."
Funny experience: Me and ex living in Scotland, time: right after Brexit. We're walking along a road, it's a hot summer day. Talking in German, our mother tongue. Walk past a car with its window down. Dude inside screams "OH, YOU BRUTES!" We stop, turn slowly, look at the guy. Guy notices we stopped, turns to us. Pandas, he had two big dogs on the back bench of the car, who tried to lick his face..... Because Scotland has racists (like every place) but altogether is very welcoming, we all realised what had happened and had a good laugh together! :D
Why does a sentence beginning with "not a racist but" always sound south african in my head?

"Meditation helps a lot to release a bad day and refocus on what matters to you. I also practice gratitude when things are challenging - that simple perspective shift can bring you from focusing on the hard things, to appreciating what is going well in your life," she concludes.

Keep the cats inside. Especially if there are predators like that around.
Keep your cats inside because they are the top predator of wild birds. Feral cats destroy millions of wild birds every year and not for food. Just because it is their nature to prey on birds. Not to mention non cat owners are not fond of cat poop in our gardens.

Coyote: Dude, he just keeps getting fresh ones. Let's bring the gang next time.
My. Alaskan Malamute x German Shepherd Dog decided a party with the coyotes in the local open space was called for. We’d just gotten to the top of the ridge and the wind was incredible. She danced off to join them. It was dark and there was nothing I could do about it because she really wanted to meet them. She was a big, strong girl but I worried anyway. If anything happened as a result of that it was to keep the coyotes away for awhile. At that same location my Ragdoll started going through the dog’s door but if we were there she would moan and cry that she couldn’t get back in.
Load More Replies...Forcing a pet to live outside is to me, like forcing a loved family member to do that. Now, there are unloved family members that I could see doing that to.... But then again, I appreciate wildlife and my neighbors too much to ruin their sanctuaries.
Not wrong lol. Dude, you have created an all you can eat buffet for coyotes.
FR. We have small dogs and lots of coyotes in our area. We trained them to go on pads in the house no way they are going outside alone.
We had a couple coyotes in the neighbourhood a couple years back, including one that was in my next door neighbour's backyard. We started only letting our dog out when we went out with him... poor guy. I am so grateful that he can go out on his own again. Better than the alternative, coyotes can jump fences.

Load More Replies...Noe I feel bad because my dog was dumb as rocks so I know he didn't understand it. I learnt pretty fast to ground myself before petting him but d**n, did he think I randomly stung him?
Now I understand! I live in a semi arid climate. Winter is especially tough… almost everything I touch results in a static shock (even barefoot). It’s so bad you can see the blue “lightening” from my fingertip to the thing I’m about to touch. Light switches are especially heinous because the spark arcs from up to an inch away from the metal screws! FYI an electric zap to your nail bed is painful. Anyhoo, one of my favourite (?) nighttime games is to stroke my cats in the dark and watch the sparks under my hand as I caress them. Occasionally, they’ll turn to boop their nose against my hand, which inevitably results in a finger to nose zap. The hurt glare of “how dare you?” is real.
I remember the first time I shocked Pixel when he was a 6 week old kitten. Finger to nose shock. I felt like a m******r.

Seen this happen with whole families when someone is dying. Gutting to see them apart when they most need to draw close to each other, and all to try to 'protect' each other.
I experienced this kind of triangulation with one of my senior students and her two parents. Each of them would call me for advice about the situation, but I wasn't allowed to tell the other two (a) what the caller said, (b) what I told them, or (c) that there had been a phone call at all. I finally deciphered what the crisis was. High school senior wanted to attend college X bu couldn't because that's where her parents also wanted her to go. Nothing is more exasperating to a teenager than to find their parents reaching the same conclusion as them. So I just told her "Ah,... go to college X anyway". And she did.
this is like friends :D they dont know we know they know or smth :D
The guy and the dad each have something they can’t tell the mom. There’s nothing the mom knows and can’t tell the guy or the dad.

It actually is kind of funny what companies will just write off... Oh it's just a few thousand dollars. And business debt can file for bankruptcy. So...yeah. I need a nap.
A few thousand is a "write off" to a corporation, but it's enough debt to destroy an individual life. The absurd power imbalance is so infuriating.

I have a book issued by a Creationist organisation that claims to debunk evolution. One chapter has photographs of exquisite-looking river 'insects' that are described as being so beautiful that they cannot have come about by pure chance. Nobody who put that book together noticed that they were in fact fly-fishing lures.
When I worked for tips, I learned the more wealthy the customer and/or the more religious (any religion, including new agers and "I'm just spiritual,") the less they tip if they tip at all.
I remember waitressing. The Motorcycle guys (doubt if they were hells angels but who knows) they always were the most polite and tipped the best!
Load More Replies...Not in my experience. Most of my friends have post-graduate degrees and are already retired, so they have significantly more money than me--a h.s. graduate single mom working nights folding laundry. I always offer to pay my share, but it's half:hearted at best because after a few months of arguments, I realized that paying for me to occasionally go out and have some grownup off time is their way of helping me out.
Back in 2003 I was dating a woman whose brother in law was a tech-bro making six figures. When he paid for his portion at a meal or a night out, he would tip on the pre-tax amount. It usually only saved him a dollar or two, but he didn't need it.
Aren’t you supposed to tip on the pre-tax amount? In fact I usually just take the tax, which is about 8.5% around here, and double it. That’s my tip.

That's right TWO bus loads of some sports team. 62 people showed up before we opened. Their coach, helpful jerk that he was, said he'd make it easy on us by having the entire team order one of two choices....3 pancakes, 2 eggs, side of breakfast meat and hashbrowns OR 4 French Toast, 2 eggs, side of breakfast meat and hashbrowns....for 62 people. I was the only cook! Luckily the skeleton crew I had was very helpful and we got thru it but I had both grills going, completely full of pancakes, French toast, bacon and sausage.

Black bears can be scared off by wearing bells on your cloths or using pepper spray as a last resort. Brown bears don't care. So it's important that you learn to recognize bear scat (poop) when your hiking to know if you're in danger.
