you are not a fundamentally broken person.

I discovered something really workable this weekend in terms of dealing with Trump supporters online: straight out laugh at them. Use the gif function, particularly gifs of women laughing at them. They do not like it.

They are fairly vocal, but I think they get burnout, too, and my one friend told me that people called her a “traitor” and that she was “on the side of wrong/evil.” I got that “there’s right and there’s wrong” the other day. I was really shocked that the partisanship has gotten THAT far for some people.

Yeah, part of it is the tetris of your people. LOL

A local one through the local crossfit box. they have vegan, vegetarian, and paleo options. It’s actually really good. I do a “mixed” option cuz I do eat meat a few times a week, and then vegetarian/vegan (and dairy free) the rest of the time. :) Yummy.

First, I’m sorry for the loss of your pup. You were obviously a good fur-mom, and it’s very hard to lose someone whom you love so much.

Man, it’s a struggle.

Yeah.

I got scholarships to BOTH of the trainings that I wanted to do (one in Sept, one in Nov), which is awesome, and I just signed up for a training next year, and I went ahead and applied for a scholarship for that, too. Fingers crossed, I’ll be well trained! :)

I think you should go for it, and truly, I have a kid, and we kept our prius when he was born and now we’re car free. people act like you can only have a van or SUV if you’re parent, but here in NZ, people usually drive hatchbacks and pile 2-3 kids right in there. LOL :)

that all sounds really positive. :)

I would say that if you’re consistent, then you’ll get fit. But that may not lead to being a size or weight that you’re imaging for yourself.

The eclipse won’t be visible at all for us, here. So, business as usual.

I was going to say this, too.

I say YES to kicking cancer’s behind. Good job to them! May they live long and healthy lives with much awesomeness.

No, actually, it’s not this hard. And yes, I am bringing a wide variety of ideas to this blog post, which is simply in alignment (though perhaps not as well written) as those other ones.

Reminds me of this one, too (all faux, of course).

See?! i am also saying yes to this, and can’t WAIT to hear about your coat and I hope it’s awesome.

Exactly. I knew a cat was the right choice, but I rather fell in love with my friend’s grey (whom I took care of for about two weeks and it was heavenly), and I thought. . . maybe. But then, you know, a cat is best for us.

You’re making it a lot harder than it needs to be.
