Ohio is, as a rule, pretty darn dull. However, the one thing that isn’t is the libraries here. As a book lover, I was already in heaven. As the mom of a preschooler? I am blown. away. The resources are incredible! In the past two days alone, we’ve gotten passes to a dairy farm/pumpkin patch that saved us ~$75 on the first trip, and will save us $100 on our final trip Friday. Yesterday when picking up the pass, I had an unexpected monthly visitor arrive and I didn’t bring my purse. I asked at the front desk, thinking they might have a spare pad or tampon for emergencies. I was amazed to find out that they distribute up to 2 period packs per patron monthly, and that each pack contains ~20 to 30 items, including pads and tampons of assorted sizes and pantiliners. Today we visited a different county’s library for storytime, where they provided take-home craft kids for kids and grown-ups…the craft for grown-ups was washi-tape birthday cards and had 8!! rolls of washi tape, blank cards, a Sharpie, and a marker. The icing on the cake was finding out that the library prepares and distributes snack bags for kids every day. While I no longer face food insecurity as an adult, as a kid/teenager this would’ve been a godsend. As an added little bonus, you can borrow things varying from cones to practice for driving tests, Wi-Fi hotspots, Rokus… all the way to unicycles and ukuleles. 28 F, size 10 shoe, no bananas but lots of other snacks in the bag!

I told my husband I needed a haircut. My hair had grown out beautifully, but was past m shoulders and I wanted it trimmed and the layers feathered. I started looking for a hairdresser. I was amazed at the cost of a haircut. I obviously said this outloud because my husband asked me over and over again, 'how much?' Over and over again I told him. He said, 'well, if you've got to do it..." But when I looked at him I saw he was silently begging me to be more reasonable. Being a dutiful wife, I kept looking. I finally settled on someone that was half the cost of the other stylists. He was pleased. I was pleased that he was pleased. I got to the location in a rather sad looking strip mall. The door was locked. Eventually, a lady opened it and I was escorted in. Someone with dark brown hair had been there before me because her long hair was still strewn about the chair on the right. I opted for the clean chair on the left. Yes, I was a bit wary, but I was there, she was inexpensive, and seemed nice. She cut my hair—badly. I spent the next week complaining about the haircut while my husband pretended not to hear. I spent another week with scissors trying to fix it myself. The third week I went to the expensive hairdresser who fixed the first haircut and my horrid attempts at cutting my own hair. Now my hair is four inches (not an inch) shorter, cut in a bob that looks like my mother, and I am out the cost of two haircuts making this the most expensive haircut I have ever had. The end.

Love this group. I have been a lurker for a while. I am Sherri, live in Birmingham, AL, 60 years old married w 3 grown daughters and a grandson on the way. I am less than 5 months from retirement. I love what I do and the people at my job. But alas it is time to let someone else take the reins. My husband has been retired 2 years and he is looking forward to me not being so busy. I’m looking forward to living a slower pace life. More reading, more Biking, and time w grandbaby.
8 1/2 shoe and love bananas, especially in smoothies.

I am in need of feedback from my fellow Dullettes. When the weather gets a little on the chilly side, I like to wear socks with my Birkenstocks. I find it comfortable and I don't think it looks too bad. However, my husband, son and grandson all like to make fun of me for this fashion choice. I have tried to tell them that people in Europe often wear them like this, but they just laugh and say I look like an old man on vacation. I would agree if I wore white socks, but I prefer dark socks with my Stocks. What do you think? And don't worry about offending. I am a tough old bird and take it.
Birkenstocks are size 38. Sorry no banana. I'm on a diet.

Hey friends! This is my first ever post here, I hope it is an appropriate amount of dull. I came across these 2 "Stolpersteine" last night, after a lovely dinner with my husband in a town near my home. They are called "Stolpersteine" and I was wondering if you know about them. It is an art project by the Artist named Gunter Demnig, and you can find these all over Germany, and also in other European countries. They show where jewish people used to live, what their names were, when they were born, and when they were deported / murdered during WW2. I find it very important to remember what happened in the past, to prevent it from happening ever again. And to remember them with their names, not only as numbers. People come across these, give them a read, and sometimes stop for a moment to think. I think this is an amazing art project. Every one of those brass plates is manufactured by hand by the artist. There are more than 100.000 of them by now. There is an English Wikipedia article about them, for those who'd like to know more. I hope there's some people among you who did not know about them yet, and know about them now. 🙂

Leaving a dull airport in Oklahoma this morning, happened to stumble upon this little fella. He and I had a nice walk through the parking lot together. I wished I could have taken him home with me. Most exciting part of my day. No one seemed to share my enthusiasm when I relayed my encounter. No banana for comparison. Just semi-banana colored pants and a size 7.5 shoe from Wal-Mart. The dullest part may be my absence of fashion in refusal to retire them with Labor Day.

My dull friends. I never post on these but very much enjoy reading your stories. I am dull though I used to be very exciting (before I birthed 4 children). I am posting today to ask some advise. I am a veterinary technician of 18 years. My children are grown and the last one moves out soon. I have been waiting patiently to get back to myself and as independence approaches I have been thinking about my future. Here is my question....I want to go back to school and get a degree in animal behaviour and environmental science so I can start working with dogs and train them to work with conservation efforts. Is it worth it at my age to start this journey? Ill be well over 50 before im done with my education. 48, female, size 7.5 shoe (photo of wizard for attention)

I usually live quite the dull life…however, there was some excitement this weekend when I got to witness my grandma’s doctoral commencement ceremony. She obtained her DBA at the age of 75! I got to attend with my mom and daughter, meaning there were four generations of women in attendance for this momentous occasion. No bananas allowed in the convention center. 28F, size 10, Ohio, USA.

It's time to tell you what has happened... I've been extremely ill for the last few years. I recently had covid for six weeks which was so much worse due to this current illness. I have been extremely sick with nausea, vomiting, headache and fast/heavy beating heart since I recovered and doctors have been reviewing symptoms and testing.
I had gone for a CT scan Friday, but begrudgingly, as I absolutely hate medical tests and IV's. I won't go into the other detail but I will say that a severe anomaly was detected: a blood clot in my aorta. I was required to go to the ER immediately and now I have been in the hospital for three days. This is a scary thing and had I not pushed myself to face my fears and get this testing, I faced death. And I had no idea. I'm extremely lucky we caught this.
I'm now taking blood thinners now to hopefully there will be no major complications... but I will say that I think everything happens for a reason... I just so happened to be near good friends/colleagues who were able to recommend a great hospital. I feel like they saved my life. The medicine I will be taking to treat this is fairly dangerous but it is better than the alternative. In lieu of flowers, I will accept caps lock words of encouragement!

Hello from beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I’ve been a part of this entertaining group for a while now, but I think it is time to introduce myself. Today is our 51st wedding anniversary, I am fortunate enough to be married to a wonderful man who doesn’t mind that I am boring. In actual fact, I believe that we are both kind of boring. We keep up our tradition of trekking over to the Dollar Store and perusing the greeting cards. We each find the perfect anniversary or birthday card for our partner, then we huddle in the aisle out of eyesight of the cashier and read each other’s cards. We have a laugh, or a few tears, then we put the cards back on the shelf and head home, with our dollars tucked unspent in our pockets. Today reinforced the fact that I am dull as dishwater. My husband gave me an anniversary present that I will never use because I don’t like housework. Shoe size 9 1/2, bananas are hiding in the double batch of banana bread we made and the picture tells the story.

This is the soon-to-be Rockefeller center Christmas tree. It comes from a town near me, West Stockbridge Massachusetts. By the time I got there this morning they had already wrapped the top. Not a dull day for sure.

What's a food item that's common in your family and/or region but which seems weird to outsiders?

For me, it's an olive and cream cheese sandwich. My California classmates icked out when I showed up at school with these. It wasn't until I was about 30 that I saw one in the wild at a subway station in New York City -- which made a certain amount of sense, as my mother hailed from New York and New Jersey. I considered that subway shop product to be inferior, however, as it just featured a few green olive chunks mixed in with a lot of cream cheese instead of the lovely layer of olives such as you see below.

Mom made them both with the green olives and pimento version and also with canned California black olives. I liked both. Haven't tried them with Greek Kalamata olives yet, but now that I've emptied my jar of green olives, perhaps it's time to experiment.

What's your "weird" food?

Age 67, American shoe size 8 (but I don't want it in my sandwich). Put banana in fridge to avoid fruit flies and then forgot it, so you don't want it in the photo.

I live in rural WI, seriously its 65 miles one way to a walmart, 33 miles one way to a mcdonalds. Not much goes on, unless you go to the local bars. So, i “dress up”
when i take my dog for his walks. Very rarely meet other people or cars. Yet why am im determined to match lipstick to my flannel? I discussed the approaching darkness to my dog and that we are now adding a headlamp. Thats an exciting change to the walk routine. My goal 10,000 steps a day. Snowboots size 7, snow will come soon. Cant remember when i ate a banana, but i do love banana cream pie… im a plus size active 66 yr old… who can throw a mean axe 🙂

Dull Report: I took some things to the consignment store. While they checked over what I brought in, I did a little shopping on my own. I really do have a shopping problem. I love, love, love to shop. I had to go back the next day to buy this dress. If for no other reason than to wear it to a family function and aggravated my Momma and Aunts. I've been told I'm too big and old to dress like a teen ager. They are so silly. After I shorten it 3 inches, it will be perfectly appropriate for me. I strive to be that old lady. The one they shake their heads at and wag their tongues about. I do think that I need one of those fruit hats with some bananas in it. Y'all have a great day and have some fun too. Plus, this dress has pockets. Life is good.

My kid just came out to me, where do I start?

1. First? Your only job right now is to reassure them that your unconditional love is truly unconditional. Nothing they can do or say could make you love them less.

Have all the feelings! That's totally normal!

Shock
Fear
Grief (yes, grief however this is nuanced)
Sadness

But make sure that is for YOU to process and not something you process with them. That's for us as parents to unpack and not for us to make our fresh out of the closet kid to feel guilty. Also remember your kiddo is alive and well and healthy.

2. Next, try and connect with some resources: an affirming therapist, Facebook q***r parenting groups, in person groups. I recommend finding your local PFlag group.

3. Grab yourself a book or two about your kiddo's identity and learn as much as you can. You are your kid's greatest ally and advocate and you're going to need to know as much as you can so you can learn to advocate for them properly.

4. Practice their name and pronouns that they want you to use.

5. Ask them who is inside this circle of knowing about their new identity and respect it. If they're not ready for the world to know yet, you keep it to yourself and maintain that trusting relationship. If and when they want to bring more people into their circle, support them through what that looks like for them.

6. See if they need anything to affirm their new gender. Ask if they'd like a haircut, clothes, makeup and start really slow.

7. Celebrate their bravery. Them coming out to you is one of the hardest things they've ever had to do if not the hardest; bake a cake, go for icecream, celebrate.

8. Self care for YOU. You need to be in the best space for you. This is hard. Know that you're not alone and take care of YOUR needs now.

I had a rough night at work. When got home I took a shower and then just sat down in the tub letting the water hit my sore muscles. I went to stand up and realized my back had suctioned to the tub. I couldn’t move. I tried to turn the water off with my toe but instead bumped it the opposite way, scalding myself. In a panic, I was screaming for my partner and managed to loosen myself off the tub but not without giving myself a suction bruise on my fat back.. didn’t have any bananas for scale so I printed this one off the internet.

Dear Dull Women,
I have recently become engaged, at the dull age of 39.
As my fiancé and I are both accountants, I have estimated the certainties and uncertainties of our nuptials in percentages, as follows:
Year: 100%
Season: 50%
Style and general locality of venue: 99%
Guest list: 80%
Surname: ????
The surname is frankly a can of worms. He prefers but doesn’t insist that I take his surname; his daughter also wants us to have the same name. Then there’s feminist principles, practical issues of changing, possibility of double-barrelling it. And there’s the surname in question, which is Örer, pronounced UR-er. Combine it with my first name, which I regularly have to spell out over the phone, De-VOR-ah, and I’m starting to think people will go out of their way to avoid saying my name at all.
What have been your deciding factors in marital name choices?
Female, UK 6/EUR 39. Banana for scale. Fiancé not shown, as he has the flu.

I love to sew. I go up into my room, turn on music or my favorite podcasts, and sit and sew and sew and sew. I tried to teach my daughter when she was young, but she found it much too solitary and dull, so she gave up after one or two garments. I have more clothes than any one dull woman needs, but I just love pretty fabrics so much. I just knew you all would understand.

I do sew for my family, and they all appreciate it (especially my grandsons), but I'm not sure they understand the joy of that solitary creation time.

No bananas today. Still have those giant, US size 12 feet.

11/03/2024

Ladies, I need to vent. Has something changed in the world of grammar where the phrase, “I seen a dog” is correct? I am not a grammar person but little things make my brain cells pop. I keep seeing people say, they seen things. Have they seen the inside of classroom? If something changed with language classes, please tell me so I can stop having mini grammar strokes over people who seen things. (Improper use on purpose). No bananas, shoe size a big ole 11 and here is a picture of place to hike near my house. Colorado.

So like many others have silently following this page! It has been hard to figure out just what to say… I am a very dull, dying woman who has transferred to hospice and I don’t know how much time I have eft. But don’t be sad as I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s posts and they have lifted my spirits. Aged 55 size 8 or 9 shoe depending and this is a picture of my son and I today! I also have a wonderful daughter too!

Hello fellow secretly not dull at all women, wondering if any of you in the UK can give advice. My daughter (who is amazing obviously) is in her second year of a college construction course, loving bricklaying etc & apparently top of her class which she is loving after finding academic work at school difficult (dyslexic & ADHD). Although she has been approached re doing an apprenticeship she has turned it down for now as at 17 is really nervous of going on site & facing lots of grown men, all the bants, potential harassment etc, she is blonde & pretty & slim although her looks belie the fact she is a demon rugby player for Eastern Counties with zero fear on the pitch throwing herself into tackling people twice her size & ending up in A&E fairly regularly as a result!
So I guess what I'm wondering is are there any women out there in construction that do mentoring or can advise on finding one!

An open letter to my body,

I am sorry for the wars I have waged against you; and for all the times I pulled you apart, pound by pound.

I’m sorry that when I should have been putting monuments up in your name, for birthing babies, and running miles; I told stories of your failures. Of the ways you were imperfect. The ways I couldn’t love you.

An upper body that changed so radically, from all the milk you’ve made and poured out. A beautiful, sacrificial love. A tummy that I condemned to hide behind layers of fabric after it made a brain, a heart, and a spine.

All the times I stared at your face, wondering the value of beauty. Wondering what it’s worth when there’s far more wonderful things to be than pretty. But still, I dreamt of trading faces.

The arms I condemn so often, spend all day lifting your little loves, into their safest, coziest place. The nose I worry about, is your babies favorite to “boop.”

I’m sorry body, for all the unkind words I’ve spoken about you. You work so hard keeping me sharp and strong. You are worth more than the flesh on your bones.

Since it is close to Halloween, I thought I would share a true spooky story with everyone.

When my daughter was about 6, for several weeks, I would always hear her in her room carrying on full conversations, yet she was alone. I’d ask her who she was talking to. She told me it was her shadow friend. I asked her why she called it her shadow friend and she told me that whenever “she” (apparently it was female) visited, all my daughter could see was her shadow on the wall. I told her she was probably just seeing her own shadow. She said to me, “ Well, mommy, sometimes I see just one shadow, but mostly there is two.”
Several weeks later, my daughter was coming down our stairs, which were wood. She only had her socks on and was going too fast. My husband and I were sitting on the couch, seeing all this happen right before our eyes…she slipped and started to fall head first down the stairs…at that exact moment, one of her arms flew back and she was lifted up and sat directly on one of the stairs. It looked like something had grabbed her arm and yanked her into place. She was unhurt. I asked my husband if he had seen what I did, and he confirmed that he did. We both truly believe that whatever it was, it saved her from a very bad, possibly fatal accident.
Awhile later I asked her how her shadow friend was, if she had talked to her in awhile. She told me that she left…when I asked her why, she said that her shadow friend told her that her job there was finished and she had to go home!

11/03/2024

If spending 3 months hot gluing faux butterflies to a dress to make your Effie Trinket costume isn’t dull, I don’t know what is 😂
End result was worth all the singed fingers!
Happy Halloween and may the odds be ever in your favour! 👻

Hi.

Tired greetings.

I’m an incredibly dull woman.

In the last week, I have found out that my partner of 30 years have been cheating on me (I found a videos of him having s*x with women in our home), had a full breakdown and ended up in the hospital for mental health care. When my mother-in-law found out, she told me to “go back to Sweden” rather than tell her son that he is a selfish *****.

(I have been in the U.K. for 32 years so this is very much home. She wants the “problem” (me) to go away rather than telling her adult manchild to be a decent human being. Worst kind of enabler.)

I then had my gallbladder removed two days later to top it all off.

It’s been the most horrendous week.

I am receiving home care and I start my journey with a psychologist tomorrow. I don’t know where to go from here but I refuse to hide.

Barefoot. Bananas and berries. Furry bunnies for love.

Thank you for reading. I don’t know what I want - maybe just to know I’m not alone xx
