No tech; cuddle puddles; hugs; vegan and gluten-free camp food; '80s-style prom

I am going to be voluntarily sharing a tech-free cabin in the woods with a vegan in a couple of weeks, but anyone not married to or birthed by me tries to cuddle and I'll smack them with a kayak paddle.

Also from the article:

The rules of Camp Grounded were simple: no phones, computers, tablets or watches; work talk, discussion of people’s ages and use of real names were prohibited

So no tech allowed, but you still have to create a fake profile complete with pseud. Got it.

And they even have LOLcats:

Mr. Felix, whose camp name was Fidget Wigglesworth

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So no tech allowed, but you still have to create a fake profile complete with pseud. Got it.

That was my take, too. Strange rule.

I am not horrified by that camp, actually, assuming I can opt out of the cuddle puddles. I don't want to go, particularly, and the way the writer talks about his life makes me hate him a little, but nothing unusual there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

OK, it being an adult camp makes more sense for the 80s prom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Cuddle puddle" makes me think someone's gone wee in the cuddle pile.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

voluntarily calling something a cuddle puddle is just not right. I feel more comfortable with a Don't get punched in the face place.

I would kinda love a tech free vacation and wouldn't mind a vegan glutton-free diet that someone else was cooking for me.

Heh.

Because books.

Tech-free would be okay with me if I had enough to read. I would definitely want an all-cheese and fresh-basked-bread diet with cake for dessert, though.

I am leaving the word-o.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm right on board with this. Just reading the phrase "cuddle puddle" makes me reach for the Ativan. Personal bubble. PERSONAL BUBBLE!

wouldn't mind a vegan glutton-free diet that someone else was cooking for me.

Tim is vegetarian, rather than vegan, but GF/vegetarian cooking isn't too hard. Although I miss the ease of throwing a pot roast in the crock pot before work and coming home to roasty deliciousness.

I'm honestly not sure what irritates me more about this article, the phrase "cuddle puddle" or the continued use of "gluten-free" to imply health food. As if rice flour had any benefits for the 90% of the population who isn't gluten insensitive.
