Hey Everyone,

Today is considered a holiday in the USA (Labor Day,) so many people have off work.

If you have a day off or just want to treat yourself to a little something extra, what are your guilty pleasures?

Today, mine will be:

* Reading and possibly writing letters almost all day.

* Watching reviews of the new Mario World theme park lands in Japan and California.

* Skipping out on exercise! Hooray! May my elastic waistband gym shorts be set free!

* A heaping plate of tater tots, each of which will be individually dipped into a big pile of salt! :D

Whee!

Your turn!!!

I would love to hear what you consider to be your own oh-so-fun guilty pleasures in life (this can include whatever you want! Time with a pet, TV, movies, games, roller hockey, cooking, gardening, underwater basket weaving...)

A big, beautiful cloudless sky is the limit. :)

Today I ate 250 grams (almost 9 ounces) of a dessert that consisted of some kind of mikly-creamy mix, crushed oreos, licorice sauce, and some other ingredients.

Too bad we can't order a couple of these and start sharing them around the forum:

Yeah...

I think non-regulars don't realize that most people come to Singles to actually get away from the more formalized threads; we generally have a much more off-the-cuff style, even when it comes to serious topics.

This is why I've been trying to put up a lot of threads lately -- I want to try to give people a variety of topics they can join in on if the more structured talks aren't quite their style.

McDonald's. And, Married with Children. (You did say "guilty" pleasure.)

I know, you're going to say " Screenshot 2023-09-04 at 2.12.41 PM.png "

I haven't had McDonald's in forever!!!

The last time I checked though, the "Value" meals in this area were well over $10, often closer to $15. :eek: I couldn't believe it!

I used to LOVE McDonald's -- chicken nuggies and French fries, oh yeah!

But now that it's so expensive I debate on either just using the money for groceries, or saving for pad thai at my favorite Asian noodle place. :oops:

Rodney is a simple guy (I mean that in the best kind of way) who works a lot and doesn't get a lot of time to himself, so any time he gets to leisurely enjoy something he likes, it's a luxury.

Sorry for speaking for him... It's a side-effect of meeting him and a few others in person last year.

Ever since seeing them in action, I always have a knee-jerk (in this case, finger-typing) reaction when it comes to questions about them I think I can answer. :geek:

I know this "Informative" emoji is a bit generic :LOL:, but the reason I use it so often is because I don't feel any of the other emojis fit, but I want to acknowledge that their post was read ("heard.")

I have a good friend I met here and while she's not on this site much anymore, she told me she struggles with social anxiety. From listening to her, I realized that for some people who feel socially anxious, they will post and then worry that what they said was either ignored or seen as too stupid to respond to.

I tend to try to use at least the "I" or "Tool" (Useful) emoji a lot in my threads in case others out there are having problems with anxiety or feeling unseen, and an emoji might make them feel acknowledged...

It's the little things... :)

NOT that I worry about you having social anxiety AT ALL, Goji!!! :ROFL:

But when I can't pick the reaction I'm really wanting, I tend to fall back on old reliables.:)

Hey! I'm very tender! If you scratch me, will I not bleed? If you rub my building-sized belly, will I not roll over?
