Well done on getting out of your comfort zone @anon54386108 . You should be proud and pat on the back. It’s never a bad thing meeting new people and you pick up a friend out of it then it’s all so much better. Kudos.
We’ve been getting extra food stamps during the Covid 19 crisis. So some of the people here got together and staged a cookout with a LOT of food. There is this guy here who can bar b que meat perfectly. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken, and potato salad. There were five pies there. I got to bring home a chocolate cappacino pie, and I ate the whole thing in a single day. It was a good time.
I have enough friends and they are ok with my sz and with me not working. They know everything about me. But some ppl are not ok with that. If you have a partner its easier and looks better even if you have sz and not working.
