It's okay, Java. We can see other websites(and the vibe is completely different there, in both good and bad ways...it's not like cheating on us.)
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Health~ma for your mom, erikaj.
Hi, all. I’m back from my Denver work trip and utterly wiped out. I looked at my steps tracker and realized I’d walked about 3x as much as usual, an inadvisable amount in 90+F temps. It’s so dry in Denver I really overextended myself. But the Botanical Gardens there are pretty awesome.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We're busy with last-minute stuff to get ready for Tim's surgery #1 tomorrow (well, mostly to get ready for Tim to come *home* from surgery, hopefully Friday or Saturday). Tim's brothers came over today to help with some handyman projects that Tim can't currently do, which was a big help.
It’s so dry in Denver I really overextended myself.
My brother always grumbles "It's hot and dry in Denver because we're only 2 miles away from the surface of the sun!"

Heh. True facts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And an irreplaceable window into perspectives and viewpoints that don’t get a lot of air or depth, most especially for me Disability Twitter, J Twitter, and Black Twitter.
Yeah, Black Twitter has been really valuable for me to follow and read. (I don't really pipe in there, I'm just there to listen and soak up the perspective.)
I also use baseball twitter a lot, especially to follow and interact with local writers and analysts, as well as the minor league announcers for the A's affiliates (they're really fun!).
Classic Film twitter is another big stream for me, which is often where I'll intersect with Sylvie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just chiming in to agree with everything everyone has said about Twitter, and about the frustration of the greatest voices just scattering to the winds with no consensus on where to land.
I'm feeling much better, but so tired. I never want to go through a dehydration episode again.

Askye, I think she meant that it would be reasonable to look at jobs where you'd be making more than 15 an hour
Yes, this!!

So I have a great-nephew! I have announced that I shall henceforth be known as Grantie C-----. I got to see him for a moment this morning, sleeping peacefully. His mother had a hardass labor, and is recovering slowly. Pushing a whole human being out of your body is fucking badass.

Congratulations, Grantie Consuela!
Sending the ~ma to Tim, Erica's mom, Matt's mom, and all our loved ones with health challenges.
Laura one day I want to visit your Otter Lake place. It looks so peaceful.
I can't wait for the construction crew to finish and having true peace and a great spot for guests. Summer and Autumn are such wonderful times here. They promise me I will have a functional bathroom today! The areas they have finished are beautiful.
Monday! Yeah, why be it?
