That’s wonderful! It can be so hard to have the patience to do things the right way, but it sounds like you are motivated to listen to yourself and Sandy. It sucks getting old, but I am finding a lot of satisfaction from taking things more slowly, when I’m in the right mindset. I try to think of it as savoring the time I’ve got left no matter what.

Your comfort and happiness is as important as Sandy’s, and Sandy’s happiness is enriched when you are happy and healthy. Thanks for the update; always so happy to see Sandy in my feed.

Thank you for being there for Sandy. I love your posts so much. Keep being a light in the world.

Wow. I have been doing a lot of reading about ancient Britain and exactly these kinds of places. In one respect, it’s amazing that there is even that plaque, and it really speaks to the importance these wells had. In the other, of course… gestures to everything in the picture but the plaque

Thank you for sharing.

It is very aesthetically pleasing! A very well done job.

And don’t feel bad because your dad is rich: no one chooses what family they are born into. Hope he’s a good guy. Looks like he’s got a solid kid!

I wish everyone could have a closet like that if they wanted it.

Was there other clear damage? We still have some damage from a hurricane in July around here, and it was really quite bad until about a month ago.

You do realize that social workers are at least attempting to make social programs work for people? Like, they are pushing socialism in a real, mostly positive way?

I’m really sorry that these people who just really want to help people are bothering you, but maybe just explain your situation kindly and have gratitude for the people they do help who suffer from capitalism?

That does seem gross and weird.

I will note that this is German potato salad, which does not have mayo and instead has vinegar, so it’s not quite as disgusting as I first thought.

Still, the only use cases I can think of would be camping and end of world prepping.

Mmm… Icees…

And Titanic! Wait… No.

I agree wholeheartedly with all you have said. It is especially frustrating when someone else’s emotions prime me to feel that emotion overwhelmingly when the next slightly justifiable situation occurs.

For example, I had a friend who was going through the end of a terrible marriage and we talked about it a lot. She would leave, and then the next thing that came out of someone else’s mouth would often make me snap at them, which would confuse them. I would feel justified in my anger at the time because it felt so real, but later realize it was just carry over from my conversation with my friend.

Luckily, she is divorced now and doing great.

I am not a super fan, and think he’s might be both. I mean, he was clearly an alcoholic, but his rejection of the mainstream was pretty cool for what that is worth. I love also absolutely sure he was a misogynist. His Columbo episode, Etude in Black, is really good and is a gateway to understanding his movies. Soooo… I think my real question might be: was he a genius?

Edit clarified my take on Cassavetes. 😊

37! When I kiss you I taste 37 other dicks!

Yeah. SAD. Tagging. For future reference.

I’m a teacher and have to pretend to be a good boy during the daily pledge. I have kept this up since high school: I always pledge allegiance to the United Snakes of America, and.end with reminding myself that there is really only liberty and justice for the rich and famous.

I think it’s my bad memory of Jello Biafra’s remake

Edit: Words are hard.

Oh! Not so willing to take up that bet at this juncture??

Edit:that was for sarln: answer, bro.

Ugh, I hated that character, but I guess that was the point.
