uhm - you forgot the whole Madonna/Neon trend of the early 80's as well - I even wore lace fingerless gloves a few times in 8th grade. I was pretty ballsy in 1983!

Small world news: shopping for tile in small old school tile shop and a co-worker of the guy I have a crush on walked in with his wife. Actually, I didn’t make the connection right away, but once I did it felt awkward, but I’m not sure if he even noticed me, he was pretty intent on tile and his wife. I considered…

Ah, yes, our ‘first rate medical system’ … I’m not a physical therapist and there could be a number of reasons for her problem, but there are youtube videos that cover ‘heel glide’ exercises that are meant to fire/trigger/strengthen core muscles that help support the spinal chord, esp at the L4/L5/SI joints that give…

I would highly recommend seeing a physical therapist, preferably one knowledge in manual therapy. The website for the therapist should identify this modality.
The physical therapy can be helpful because there is something structurally not right with your friend - I should know I have similar problems. The PT can help…

This is exactly why I follow chickens of Instagram as well. I love the sound of the country and chickens...chickening. @silkiesinseattle has a nice voice and mostly just loves her chickens and it’s so soothing to listen to the chickens and her talk to the chickens. bok bok. 

Judge-y much?

I mean, she’s just a former stripper who parlayed her talent for entertaining into multiple platinum sales and a few grammys - but yeah, she’s just meh....

I do a lot of meditation and it really helps me to turn around a bad sitution where I cannot control the environment and out comes - just trying to figure out what I need to focus on to turn me around internally!

I have taught myself too that I shouldn’t say something unless I think I’m going to be positive (even things I think might be helpful, aren’t, so I shut up on that too - I now know sometimes people just want to vent!)

It’s just that my filter has been broken lately! (I do let my inner monologue go wild tho!) 

OMG BEAUTIFUL

I’m suffering from a rash of assholism to those close to me lately. I feel like I really need to get a grip on what compels me to short circuit my filters and use someone as the butt of a joke to entertain a bystander. I have done that three times to three different people in the past month. It really bothers me that…

10/10 would air bnb here, I love the pops of color and lots of neutral background.

Years ago, like 2002/3? (Relatively soon after Sept 11, so granted the boarder was on ‘high alert’) Friends were traveling back into US from Canada at the Peace Arch (which is the main CA WA) border, crossed. Because they were both severely directionally challenged, and the US Customs had put in new absurd semi…

I have lived alone most of my entire adult life (the half century mark is getting closer!) and I am so happy that am able to do so. I also like spending a lot of time alone. I have some close friends, unfortunately I do seem to attract the need- controlling type. After awhile of trying to push my boundaries, they…

reminded me of this parody:

Aw, I had a Big Daddy in my uni life with a very strict ‘one hitter policy’ - that being - if you are fucked up at a party and not making much sense, you were sentenced to a ‘one hitter’ penalty. Shooo lordy, that was a fun time but … I don’t know what Big Daddy is up to these many years later but yeah, I wonder how…

Drink responsibly, folks. :)

“Martinis are like breasts. One is not enough and three are too many.”

Ugh, I had someone say a similar thing to me only ten years ago? I related a story of a bad date (the guy started to get very...pushy, and I started to cry...PTSD, you know. He did stop.) and her comment ? “Sometimes you just got to go with the flow”.

Finally opened up to my former co-worker about my crush on a colleague with whom she has worked with as well, and I *know* has some information on him and what he thinks about me - but the particular incident I tried to grill her on happened over a year ago and she doesn’t really recall it. No wonder, it wasn’t…
