Why not? I’ll answer honestly.

Did you know that Rosa Parks could have watched Shrek?

I did not know that

What do you do for foot care? Regular pedicures or diy?

I had a pedicure in August for the first time in about ten years. Apart from that, I scrape my feet after a soak in the bath and marvel at the amount of dead skin. It’s gross

No. They are selfish fuckers

But that's what makes them so awesome.

I love them all

My fave was actually ‘I’m Irish AMA’. Me and Irish DH had a great laugh because I’m always slagging him off for thinking he’s special because he’s Irish and this AMA was of that same variety, but the poor poster got 2 questions!

elkon · 11/10/2025 22:02

@Jollyjoywankers. The Irish are special and worth more than two questions

This thread has made me love you OP! I totally feel we’d be friends, so many similarities!

elkon · 11/10/2025 22:15

Hmmm it’s the smiths and marmalade on toast and having same size feet!!!

LaChouette · 11/10/2025 22:18

In the same theme, red or white?

So, you say there is nothing special about you, yet I am sensing a fine wit and sharp intellect.

Toober · 11/10/2025 22:31

Do you ever wish you did have something special about you? I do sometimes

You’re a sweetie 🍬 thanks 🦉

Meh, I’m ok but never thought of myself as spesh.

Yes, I’ve always wished I was more successful than I am. I mean I always think surely the things I am good at would mean I could make a better living, but they haven’t, so far.
What’s your wish?

Same as you, funnily enough! That's exactly it, word for word.

I think the things are good at are still valuable but in today’s society they are undervalued and that’s sad. It doesn’t make our talents invaluable.

OP posts:
Toober · 11/10/2025 23:16

What's your talent/skill and are you still motivated to pursue it/do well? If not what would you do instead?

elkon · 11/10/2025 23:21

My talent is multitasking, being organised, being resilient, resourceful and finding solutions on a tight budget. My talent is bringing up kids on hardly any money with no support, them being ok and me thinking how the fuck did I do that?

OP posts:
Toober · 11/10/2025 23:34

I know an amazing mum like that, dealt cards that weren't the easiest to say the least but so proud of her kids now. Congrats on a job well done OP, enjoy your family 😊

elkon · 11/10/2025 23:57

Thank you @Toober
I suppose we’ve no time to think about what we’re doing! It’s just day to day survival.
