Ok I'm going here because I'm here already.

I have my own room for my computer. In my room I have a little portable heater that has two turning style switches. One is specifically for off 1, 2. I think the other is for intensity. When I go to bed I specifically turn both to the off position because it's expensive. For the past month we've noticed its on again in the morning.

Last night my bf got up at 3 and saw it wasn't on, then when he got up again at 7 it WAS on.

So now I'm creeped. My first thought was ghosts because I'm immature, but I'm starting to think someone might be sneaking in at night to sleep since we leave the backdoor open for my dog.that or someone is sleep walking and turning it on

Jesus H. Christ that's unnerving.

Well I've been in the hospital for 2 days and I just want to go home. I have high fever and vomiting thanks to my lovely brother who just got back from Mexico.

Oh god. I hope you feel better soon, gossip granny.

Thanks AK and Rachel. I'm still in the hospital this morning and I just want to go home so I can feed my son properly. Luckily my mom and husband have been troopers bringing him to me because he refuses a bottle.

The doctors think he brought back norovirus. He didn't have it this bad, however. And I'm so scared of my son, husband or mom getting it.

Oh geez thats scary . Hopefully if they haven't shown symptoms by now they won't get it!

That's what I'm hoping too. I was feeling really run down on Wednesday and everything started Thursday morning. But it's Saturday morning now and I'm doing much better. Still waiting to be released from the hospital, hopefully it's today.

I'm mainly pissed at myself for not being more careful around my brother who I knew was sick. I just assumed it was from the water. The doctor said just breathing could've done it though.

Just emailed one of the Bakery mods to ask that they delete my account because of unwanted spam emails. They said they'd look into it. Huh? What is there to look into? Please just delete my account.

On a semi-related note, this site is starting to irritate me too, so I may just peace out of all Colleen/Josh gossip. There's always so much nitpicking and whining about where things should go and what people can and can't say. I'm frankly sort of over it.

Hi Bixie, just letting you know my account was deleted over at the bakery but I'm still getting the spam emails so it might not do anything even if they do actually try to help.

This is why I don't use my main email for any of these kind of things.

I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about things. I find I miss things when they're all on separate threads.

But whatever, don't let other people drive you away. 

Thanks! They said they were going to delete it. I'm hoping it'll at least stop my address from getting sold even more. (sigh)

And it's not my main email. It's one I don't use much. That's how I knew the spam HAD to be from the Bakery.

The problem is the group here is divided. And the mods can't seem to win at making people happy. If they let the Josh stuff happen in the colleen thread half the group bitches about it clogging up the colleen gossip and they don't like/don't care about Josh and don't want to see it, or especially don't want to see "stan" comments. The other half thinks everything is relevant and easier together, and is pissed to have to divvy it up. It's just a shitty situation because no matter which route, people end up pissed.

I mean personally, I think Josh is inevitably intertwined with colleen and all gossip/discussion should be in one category. I'm still fine, however, with the different categories for other YouTubers or general chat, as I do think that's necessary. I don't think navigating between pages is just that big of a deal. If I want to chit chat with the awesome people here, I don't see a need for that to happen in the colleen thread just because I'm there most often. I'm happy to mosey over to another section to do so. But it does seem to be complicating things with Josh/colleen.

I agree, and I try to keep my Josh comments to the Josh thread, but I understand people have a hard time keeping up on both, especially if they were both to get as active as the Colleen thread is.

But because there's no good solution, I just think people should let it go and stop trying to force the mods to micro-manage everything. It's silly.

I also think people WAY overreact about alleged Josh stanning. I mean, I post what is a factual statement, and people think I'm Josh stanning and preventing them from trash-talking him. When really I'm just pointing out - as someone who probably follows Josh more closely - that their interpretation of what is going on might be missing some points.

Also, I don't actually think it's that many people getting up in arms. I keep noticing only the same couple of users. I'm not sure why those squeaky wheels get to dictate for everyone.

I agree. It seems if you don't hate Josh or think he's a total douche, you have blinders on and are now a stan. It's just...weird. IDK. I don't see why we can't just chat about them all and if people don't like what's being said, just keep scrolling.

Exactly...josh is probably always gonna be brought up when it comes to colleen I mean he was with her for 8 years. If you don't like what you're reading then keep scrolling? That's what I do if I am reading post I am not interested in.

You casn still talk about stuff that relates to him and colleen. If shades thrown or whatever. If you find vids of them interacting All we're asking is you keep the josh specific stuff in the josh thread. I'm happy to have a discussion and come to a solution with you all, or open another poll or something.

Bixie, I hate to see you go if you do decide to leave, but I understand the frustration. As ratchetrachel said, the divide between users makes it hard to keep bickering/nitpicking at bay. I personally prefer keeping josh talk separate from colleen talk because I haven't been keeping up with her as much lately, but I still remember all the drama/chaos that happened when tusky made a separate josh thread over at the bakery...it's just hard to please everyone, unfortunately. I'm glad I follow you on Twitter so I can still keep up with you if you do decide to leave or take a break.

since it's being discussed here too, we've made a thread for everyone to vote. You have till friday. As admins we don't really get a say in much, so it's up to you guys to sort this out.

I am so done with today. I had to start work early today (and again tomorrow) because I have a shitload of stuff to do. I barely slept last night so I am tired af and I also have an assignment due in 5 hours that I had completely forgotten about!! I am trying to get it done in time but my brain is not having it.
Kill. Me. Now. Please.
🥀😭 lol

My ex and I have been broken up for 5 or 6 months now and I still have yet to learn that talking to/messaging him is a bad idea and only going to cause me pain...we just got done talking and now I just want to cry. I don't necessarily want him back and I'm able to see ways we weren't right for each other, but talking to him makes me miss how easy things were and having someone to be close to that way..I'm so freaking tired of being alone.
I also work in 5 hours and I'm still awake, so tomorrow's going to be fun.
Anyway, thanks for listening to me whine

this was me to a T several years ago. I dated this guy in high school and every time he'd come home from a break at college, we'd get back together, etc. finally I had to say no more because it was really hurting me. I was single for an eternity and dated a few fuck boys in between to ease the loneliness and eventually swore off dating. Then I met my now husband.

I don't want to sound like I know it all because I sure don't. But I guess I just want to say that I think it's something a lot of us go through and if you've broken up before, there's probably a good reason. It sucks and I don't want to say "eventually you'll find your one" because not everyone believes in or wants that. But basically, I hear you and I know exactly what that's like.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me that other people have gone through this and have ended up on the other side. I'm okay today and am not upset about it anymore, but I really do need to cut off contact with him...it's not helping either of us. But it'll all work out somehow

Surround yourself with friends, gossip and your choice of junk food and that'll help as well. If all else fails, you can always PM me here (or if you have me on twitter, I'm marie). I'm always happy to listen if you want to vent more than you did on here.

So I thought i did really well on an assignment a few weeks ago but got a really horrible grade. I requested it to be remarked and basically got a solid no, which meant I was only a few points off passing the class. Today I got a message from the education board offering an assignment to make up the grades, which is great, but its just sent my anxiety through the roof. I'm worried that I'm going to do 2000 words just to fail again, and its due the same time as my other assignment.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and will take you up on that offer if I ever need someone to vent to.

I'm sorry Tusky, that sucks. Hopefully the other assignments aren't as bad. But that seriously blows.
Was the grading based on the prof's opinion or something concrete?

Prof's opinion. I'd asked her to get someone else to regrade it and she basically said no. I mean i'm gonna suck it up and do it because I don't want to spend another $800 on the subject if i don't have to, but i'm not bursting with excitement

Did she offer you any guidance or advice on where she thought you'd gone wrong with your assignment? If not she's not doing her job properly.

I just got in my car to go to the supermarket, I reversed out of my driveway and I ran into someone's car. 😭😫 I only have a little scrape on my car but the other car has a dent in it. I wish the damage was the other way around tbh because I can't really afford to pay for the damage on the other persons car right now. I am so mad and upset. I left a note with my phone number but I am dreading their call 😭😭

I did that once(actually more than once lol). The first time I was rushing to work and I back right into the dumb thing. I was so upset I could not provide great customer service the whole day lol. 

Maybe be they can pop it out themselves. My hubby has done that for my car and he used a suction cup.

It may not be as bad as you think. 
Lots of mobile body shops can repair dents and scrapes now quite cheaply.
