Oh, thank you! This must be how parents feel when people compliment their children. I love that silly girl kitty. Whenever I’ve been alone or down and out, she’s always been there to nuzzle me through tears or snuggle under the blanket during winter. She’s getting good ear scritches when I get home. :-)

She’s basically the cutest, loviest cat ever. She’s like Teddy Ruxpin only not creepy, you have to fill in a lot of gaps in her stories, and the batteries are only good 2 hours a day.

Dementia will hang out if you’re feeling like company.

I am not the only person who binges on salami and cheese at night. #solidarity

White *Big C* Christian women over 50 are my least favorite demographic since returning home.

Someone did get shot at Orange Crush, though. But yeah. Working at Belk for one holiday season made me hate a specific kind of white lady.

I want to be you when I grow up.

I have to disagree. My cushion cut is rather boss.

I have an admittedly ridic ring that is going to need a custom band to fit with it (marquis diamonds positioned almost like butterfly wings on the side of a cushion cut). I definitely want to have colored stones in the wedding band because diamonds would be too much and plain metal would be too little. Last night I…

I’m totally willing to admit that my experience with it is limited. I know more people affected by lupus than fibromyalgia. And really, none of us ever really know what someone else is experiencing. I’m fortunate that my pain issues were easily remedied by comparison. Some of it as well is growing up in a family where…

I want to be sympathetic to fibromyalgia sufferers, but my 100% anecdotal, non-scientfic, stereotypical experiences of someone who claims to have it is that they have always been the people who look for every reason why they can’t _____. The ones who are always owed something, are being denied their due, and really…

I was an appointment setter at Mayo Clinic back in the late aughts. I trained in dermatology, where we were instructed that we were not to set appointments for patients wanting to be seen for Morgellon’s. Same with fibromyalgia. In the case of fibromyalgia, it’s because they can’t do anything about it more than a…

I've always said MN is a big small town; seem to always encounter two degrees of separation. I wasn't in a first ring suburb, it was still pretty rural when I was there. Now it competes with the big burbs.

The first 4 months I lived in MN they bleached "N- go home" in the grass at the high school. Never seen that in all my years in the South. Also, there were 10 minorities, not just blacks, in the entire school of 900. It's pretty segregated up there if one doesn't go out of there way to meet new friends. Girl I…

The World Health Organization says otherwise. Nothing in life is 100%, but imo, it's better than the standard.

Not talking about single use bottles. I buy RO filtered in reusable jugs from the store. I can taste and smell tap water any place i've lived (sense of smell changed after a health issue and now I feel like a bloodhound). Some places it's the mineral content, sometimes it's a chlorine smell. Doesn't matter if it's…

I really highly doubt the jugs of water I refill at the grocery store using their RO filter machine is responsible for a consequence of millions of people failing to plan for complications from choosing to live in a largely arid environment. Notball bottled water comes in 16.9 ounces of single uee bottle.

If you buy regular "spring" water and stuff, yeah, it's tap Water. Hence the reason I specifically drink reverse Osmosis filtered water.

the water out of the sink is the same water they filter shit and toilet paper out of before dumping chlorine in it and calling it good. Sink water, unless you have a well, is recycled shit water with everyone's pissed out pharmaceuticals. I can't get past knowing that. BUT, I reuse the containers I use for reverse…
