Dogwood. Hidden away under the canopy, reaching out and up to find sunshine in the PNW rain forest. Beautiful white spring flowers.
After leaving my beloved PNW when I was 12 to move to smoggy searing Los Angeles and missing the green and rain for 45 years, I’m back. We just bought a dogwood for the backyard. So excited for spring.
THANK you! Wish I had known this app two weeks ago. Neither of my banks have virtual credit cards. The one CSR even said “That’s a great idea! I’ll pass that along.” 🙄
Do you have any gratitudes that are in heavy rotation? My husband and me moving back to my beloved Pacific Northwest are two of my favs.
When I was young with tighter labia that didn’t flap or stick to the side and had a firmer bladder, 3, every time. Now 4.
It’s been a long day and I may be a little punchy, but I have tears in my eyes laughing at I write this reply.
And the editor in me thinks it works better as “these wounds in my ass, they will not heal”
You’ll pry my tabs and red stapler out of my cold dead hands.
Mmmm, McDonald’s
Zoomies happen for us as soon as we get home from the walk in the park, never in the park. Hardwood floors. Tom n Jerry and Loony Tunes creators obviously had dogs.
If you could speed the conveyor belt up, that would be greeeeat.
I’ve found both CBT and DBT helpful.
Benign fasciculation. It only used to happen after walking, and in my quads and calves. I swam competitively in division III and never happened in my upper body. I never worried about it. For folks that don’t understand the minimal and random nature of the ticks, here’s a good video.
Meat: get a ThermaPen instant read thermometer and cook meats to 120 for rare, 125 for med rare and 135 for medium. Pull the meat off heat 5 d before it hits you desired temp.
I’m 59 and I went gradually in the last 15 years from barely being able to sit cross legged to now I can’t even touch my right toe (chronic groin problem) let alone sit cross legged.
Humans are basically just another massive asteroid hitting earth. And just as mindless.
K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:
Purple Rain" by Prince “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival “Rain” by The Beatles “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” by Bob Dylan “Here Comes the Rain Again” by Eurythmics “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Ann Peebles “Rainy Night in Georgia” by Brook Benton “Rain King” by Counting Crows
Only one missing is the REM song.
Ok. This is a perfect start to a playlist. I’ve never heard the Ann Peebles song.
Get more depressed and add intense anxiety to the mix.
If my depression is bad, but not suicidal bad, then I overeat. If it’s suicidal bad, I stop eating.
You’re already aging yourself with the Simpsons reference!
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
