So many questions! Warning, do not read on if you feel faint of heart! Or have a “thing” about feet.
Continue readingHa! “DCIBing”!!! I love it! It’s like “being”, but with DCI in front. If you see what I mean. I may be sleep deprived, I was up late working on my puzzle.
Continue readingLet’s learn about each other! In all the most important ways! That is, the little things that don’t actually matter but we care about deeply.
Continue readingJust want to check in with my DCIB folks, give us a space to share and support each other and say “oh, you do that too? Then I’m not crazy!”
Continue readingWhat a festive discussion topic! In this time of 24 hour Christmas music everywhere, I know there are songs you have gotten absolutely sick of.
Continue readingAnother fun discussion post! Santa Claus! Do you know him? How do you know him? Have you raised your kids to know him?
Continue readingI so enjoyed (and continue to enjoy as more comments come in) our post about friendships and what lasted and what didn’t. I want to do kind of a partner post about another sort of childhood relationship that I have found has lasted into adulthood much more strongly, that “my Mom’s best friend” relationship. Or, in Indian English, your Aunties.
Continue readingHonestly, I’m curious! Angie and I were just talking about the film “June” where our heroine stays close to her group of school friends into adulthood, which was not our experience. I’m interested in learning about other people, are you like me and Angie, or are you like a movie?
Continue readingI feel like we just don’t TALK any more! Also, I am missing my casual office conversations from work. What did you have for lunch?
Continue readingIt’s snowing in Chicago right now and my work has been a series of disasters since 8am, so I need a distraction. Let’s talk SRK.
Continue readingThis is universal, right? It wasn’t just me who woke up between 3 and 13 after a weird bad dream and then bugged my parents?
Continue readingAnother random fun discussion post! Tea! Counterpart to our “coffee” discussion. Get all your tea opinions ready!
Continue readingA vital question! Which hopefully will get us all talking a bit, because I like it when we talk, and also I am procrastinating about writing my next Shahrukh review.
Continue readingI feel like the DCIB community is mostly made up of people with slightly off beat taste. So I suspect there will be some interesting answers to this question.
Continue readingLet us put on our adult content hats, block the computer from our children and spouses, and escape into harmless fantasy for just a moment.
Continue readingA vital timely question! And now that we are all about 6 months in, I think we have a good sense of the importance of this question and what factors needed to be weighed and considered.
Continue readingThis may not make sense to anyone else, but I find it a fascinating though experiment, so I will just shout into the ether and see if anyone picks it up.
Continue readingGrumpy Monday! I got super fancy coffee delivered in an attempt to cheer myself up which made me start thinking about the whole coffee experience.
Continue readingYou know how you find someone you like, and then you are inspired/obsessed with watching every film they have ever been in? Share your stories! Who was it, when was it, why did you get tired and stop?
Continue readingI can’t think of any! So many cute shoulder length cuts, so many lovely long natural hair looks, but what about actual above the ears short hair on women? Is there anything good?
Continue readingI just have so much to say about internet dialogue! And the Gunjan Saxena debate that I am listening to second hand thanks to y’all has given me a new thing to think about. Also, once again, NO POLITICS. We have been doing fabulously with productive conversations about communication and internet culture without political specifics, let’s keep that up!
Continue readingUPDATE: This post has been up for 3 hours, and no one has commented. I feel this is a bad sign for our collective ability to be happy. I’m having a moderately hard day today. We didn’t watch Midsomer last night, and I think it has become a vital part of maintaining the careful mental health balance of the household, so now all 3 of us are feeling rumpled. Plus there’s thunderstorms, so the dog is unhappy. I’d go for a walk to get out of the stressful atmosphere, but of course I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED. Anyway, time to count our blessings in a simple effective technique for happiness!
Continue readingThis is going to be a tricky discussion to start. My Dad just sent me a link to a fascinating story in the New York Times about a twitter hoaxster, and it played into a concern I have had for a while about how anonymous social media internet sources are used again and again as though they are unquestionable truth told to you by a friend. Oh, and remember, NO POLITICS. But I am very interested in social politics, if that makes sense? If you want to talk about gender issues or race issues, totally here for you. Just nothing related to specific political parties and how they use the internet.
Continue readingI loooooooove sitcoms. Not to make me think and understand the world and blah blah blah, but to make me laugh while I am eating soup on the couch in front of the TV after a long day at work. You know, the ones you watch over and over again and get excited when you turn on the TV at the hotel and catch a rerun you haven’t seen in a while.
Continue readingI guess also music album/stage show. Anything you think about obsessively, talk about excessively, and so on and so forth, until you are over it all of a sudden and it becomes this nice nostalgic piece of your past.
