I don't know if it is advice on chilling, but something that has helped me and my anxiety has been allowing myself to check on things that give me anxiety, but only once and only to the extent that I can do something about it at that moment. For example, if I am trying to sleep and freak out that I didn't lock the…

Martha and Snoop have been friends for a while. He was on her show a couple of times cooking mashed potatoes and brownies I think.

Dean Cain is already in at least one movie about a dog saving Christmas. And there's a sequel (I don't know if that includes Dean Cain).

I forgot he was on that. I said, "Antonio Sabato Jr? From that Janet Jackson video?"

The car adapter! I forgot about that. I would plug mine in and hand the discman to the passenger. Your new job is to guard against skippage. Good luck.

That's the one good thing about being five feet tall. I have excellent posture in a last ditch effort to make myself taller. God knows I'm not wearing heels to do it.

I can't count the number of hens and chicks I have killed off, so good job! My neighbor has hibiscus every year and they always make me feel tropical.

I am so envious of the people who picked him up when he was writing his hitchhiking book.

I recently drove through Cleveland and kept singing this as I was looking at the map.

I didn't know that about peppers! Last year was the first year I tried regular (non-jalapeno) peppers. They really didn't get active until later in the summer and early fall though, so I am guessing that's what is happening here too.

Garden Thread!
How are your gardens growing? My zucchini plant imploded for the second year in a row. At least this time I got three or four zucchini off of it. My yellow squash are doing quite well, as are the spaghetti squash. The tomatoes are pretty much out of control. The yellow cherry tomatoes have been ripening…

Skimmies!

I am still carrying a lot of grief bacon from my grandmother's death 3 years ago.

I live in St. Louis which alternates being an FTS and a HTS. Hooray for you! I love the Olympics, but these games are making me so uneasy about loving them.

I saw Dolly Parton. She was a glittery delight. If you have the chance to see her perform, take it.

I listen to podcasts in the shower and I almost fell down listening to it, I was laughing so hard. It was a relisten too, it had just been a while. So Ira Glass is responsible for my purchase of shower adhesives.

Abominations.

"Llama face" and "I'll SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!" are two of my fave disney quotes. And doing squirrel language. Squeak sqeaken, squeak.

I enjoyed Tangled and Frozen, but Lilo & Stitch and Emperor's New Groove are two of my very favorites (along with Robin Hood and Hercules).

I was 15 when I went on it and I wept. It breathed on me and was genuinely terrifying. My mom had to peel me out of the seat. I guess that's probably the sign of a good ride, but I think we had just come from the Carousel of Progress and I was not prepared for it.
