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.

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.

Birds aren’t real

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

I’ll just leave this reference on copper nanotubes right here.

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”

Mmmm, McDonald’s

K, thank you, this is it without the textI- I didn’t pay attention to the details and need better reading glasses!

I think the version I saw was a little bit different, cuz she was less hyena, more wolk, and Trump was definitely one of the 3 little pigs and not a mole rat? Thanks, I’ll look in 196.

Edit: Wolf not work

The platen glass is a lot thinner than it looks!

You got a literal open mouth “O” and hand over mouth Oh NO from me. Their poor scrotum!

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.

Driving to work 110 miles a day meant I had to get gas once per week, driving out of my way, stopping to get gas cost me 500 minutes per year as opposed to the two seconds to plug in at home. Totally a no brainer. I HATED stopping for gas on the way home from work at 11 in the evening, or whatever hour really. I think of people tied to ICE engines the way people were tied to outhouses a hundred years ago.

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.
