Maybe we don't have those kind of moths here? by the pic above, I guess it does exist though The European Union banned mothballs, that is those containing naphthalene, which is, to use the colloquial, 'the good sheet'. We have to wait until we mothball the EU to get our bona fide mothballs back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The whine is it's 35 degrees and raining, 99% humidity. It's not quite there yet, but by mid May probably. Having a shower while sweating is weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the exact same way. I'm an introvert by nature but I also suffer from anxiety (it doesn't effect my day to day life, just in social situations). That combination leads to me wanting to have a social life but wanting to stay in. But if I stay in I'm gonna miss something really cool. But if I go out it's gonna be boring. I have a small circle of about 6 or 7 friends that I know pretty well. It shouldn't be a big deal but it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be a big deal but it is the weird thing is i have no problem going out say to like a GN'R concert but having people over, worrying if i am doing everything right, worrying if i will be a good hostess that just freaks me out. and really the only time i would go out would be to something that was really worth it to me like say a GN'R concert but i do know where you're coming from... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
