Yup, I stand corrected. This is the way.

You’re a better person than me. I would have smashed that Bluetooth speaker the very first morning…. I am, not a morning person…

Not when teens have access to finance 101 classes in high school. It was an elective in my HS and you better believe I took it. I learned how to do my taxes, balance a budget. It was great. I wish this was a hard requirement for all HS students.

But I will agree, teenagers are pretty stupid. but at least I was a knowledgeable stupid teenager.

Milk is amazingly delicious. It makes a lot of delicious things. It provides a modest amount nutrition.
Milk can be easily swapped out for more sustainable whole foods. The milk industry is horrendous and we shouldn’t be propping it up by way of our public schools.

I once heard someone smarter than me say that if all insects were to vanish the earth’s ecosystems would fully collapse in 10 years.

Considering what insects do for our planet, I believe it.

I recently watched a video of a bee keeper showing how his bees were kept save because he fed the wasps fermented pare. So it kept them happy and docile and really showed how some wasps species can co exist and play a part in Mother Nature which we often forget.

But mosquitoes… fuck them, they can all die.

Also, cute ass little bee photo. 🐝

Milk should just not be given to children at all in school. I don’t understand why we can’t have kids drink just fucking water. We shouldn’t be encouraging kids to drink sugary anything. Calcium and protein can come from so many other sources. I never understood milk as a lunch drink option as a kid and I don’t understand it now.

I was just on the cusp of having enough of a down payment during Covid when that 2020 market crashed in big cities. I didn’t make it and now I definitely won’t be making it anytime soon. Glad you made it though.

“Stop replying all!! Can you take me off this email thread please?!”

The people who got pissed off were the best. And the whole company would see it. Those were the days.

This is the way

2008 Accord owner here. I’m not giving her up anytime soon.

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord. I refuse to give it up because of how dependable it is. The best features of the this car is the electric heated seats and it’s dependability. knock on wood I’ve yet to encounter any major issues within its entire life span. I’m keeping her until she quits on me.

In fact, instead of putting money towards a new car I’m going to invest in her body and interior. I can’t stand what new cars seem like these days.

I’ve found my people… as I cry into this shawl project on my lap, of merino fingering yarn I paid to have imported because “you want to support small yarn producers” telling myself, “it’s not soft enough. Just throw it away and buy that cashmere/silk blend that you know feels like butter.” 🫠

Way ahead of you brother 🦚🖖

It’s reasons like this post I make homemade gummies. It helps immensely.

Holy shit, the term, the straw that broke the camel’s back is too real in your situation. I’m glad the neurosurgeon and surgery worked out for you! What was your actual diagnosis if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you!!! Just ordered it :)

No apologies necessary. I appreciate the advice. Thank you. 💜

I’ve been telling my mom to go to the Mayo Clinic for her chronic cough for years. I’ll check it out.

Oh my dear, I wish Cyclobenzaprine or any muscles relaxers worked for these episodes. They don’t. They are definitely helpful after the initial episode.

I suppose I felt compelled to make this post because I was feeling (and still am) completely dejected. I put so much work into my previous recovery and continued prevention. When it all comes crashing back down on you, its hard to know how to feel about it.

University of Washington. This is good to know! I’ll poke around and see if I can find any recent work on this. Thank you!

First, thank you for comment. I couldn’t have explained this experience better myself. I’m so sorry you experience this. I don’t wish this upon anyone. (Except my mortal enemies but that’s a story for another day 😉)

And you’re right, It’s not only the pain but the intense state of stock as well as the hazy memory and speech.

Sounds like you have a solid recovery routine which is the same as me. I do find a few rounds of acupuncture also helps with inflammation and range of motion. I think im going to start taking Yoga classes along with my strength training. Here’s hoping this reduces the episodes.

And here’s hoping your last episode is truly your last one. 💜
