General Discussion Thread 04.08.2025​

Happy Tuesday! I (Ally) am in the process of planning a trip for myself. April is my birth month and in a few weeks, I’ll be celebrating my birthday! I’m thinking of taking a solo beach day, but I’m curious which one you all like more: swimming, hiking or something else entirely? Tell me why in the comments—I'd love to get your insights. 💜

Or, if you have something else you'd like to share—whether it’s a cool fact you just learned, a funny story, or something that’s been bothering you—feel free to comment them down, too! This General Discussion Thread is created just for you, so feel free to engage with your fellow members!

Now, what's on YOUR mind today?

I love the beach. But don’t get to go. I do hit the pool in the summer as much as I can
 
Hi Ally,
The beach has always been our favorite place to go. We always load up on sea glass and never leave without a "heart rock". I hope you have a Happy Birthday and wonderful trip!

I love the ocean, just sitting and watching the waves. I also like to be strolling in the woods and listening to nature, but when I have to stay home being out with my dogs in my garden

Just go to a beach of your choice with a blanket to lay on or a beach chair, turn off your phone and sit or lay there listening to the water move. That is so calming and relaxing. Enjoy!!!!
 
I don’t mean to sound like a Debby Downer, but since my husband and I cannot get out anymore…
my best place to be is in our home watching movies together. We’ve been married for 52 and 1/2 years. What could be better? Nothing as far as our reality goes

We share April as our birthday month. I live near the Out Banks, but I am not able to walk much right now. I would enjoy just sitting in a covered chair with my toes in the water, breathing in that salty sea air and enjoying the sun.
 
I would go to the airport and people watch. It is one of my favorite things to do and then go stretch my legs walking to see the planes land and take off. My BFF who passed about 15 years ago and I used to do this on new purse day...we would change items from old to new and just watch. We had no shame so if people wanted to watch us that was okay too. I miss her a lot...have not laughed so hard or long since she's been gone. Everything was fun for us. People are very interesting and we would make up stories about them and sometimes just greet passengers as they got off the escalator for their bags. Second best is the mall but around here they are pretty dead now. Good times.
 
First of all, Happy Birthday🎂🥂. I’m a beach baby, walking in the sand is good grounding for your body and the sound of the waves is always good for the soul🏖️❤️
