Check out The Bridge City Sinners

Very cool female led band. Numerous witchy vibe type songs.

I bet opening this draw brings joy each time, it's so organized!

I'm this way too. I could break down the whole spice rack I have, but I quit with the onion/garlic powders. I don't have garlic powder in the house, but the onion powder is a rock. For onion, I use fresh. For garlic I use fresh or I do have dried minced garlic I get in small batches from the co op. Just something about starting a meal with sauteed onions idk . I feel you here

I dated around until I was so heartbroken and fed up, I took an intentional full year off. I focused on my friendships and family. I stuck my toe back in when I was 32.

Met my forever love on plenty of fish in 2019. I thought he was super nerdy, our first conversations were just about his cat. I had actually just became an accidental owner of my first kitty myself, so we chatted about our kitties and metal music that first day. He never was crude, he never sexted at me, he never pushed himself physically at me, he was just sweet

After about four weeks of texting all day everyday we met up. We went for a walk, and I was comfortable enough to go back to his place where we smoked weed and we talked for 6 hours. We then hung out after he got off work, and my kid went to sleep, 3-4 times a week. We'd hug goodbye and those hugs reset my soul. After about three weeks of that, he texted me after he left my house on night, "I wish I kissed you". And next time I saw him we did. He still never pushed for sex. I really loved this after years of being treated like an object. After hanging out for about six weeks we went on a weekend getaway near by to the shore, became officially a couple and made love the first time.

The rest is history. I met him online, we're both introverted af and idk. He said he was ready to quit the app before I messaged him. He said, "oh lord who is this girl?". He also never (still doesn't) want childrenm he took a gamble with me because we got along so well. And so, we clicked. He's my favorite asshole :)

I always remained optimistic when looking for a partner, always open to new ideas. But it was clear my partner was the type who respected women, and like I said, after years trying to find the man I thought I wanted, I found the one I needed. I had always wished I could tale the best part of my exes and sew em up into the perfect man, well, he is just that. All the best parts. He is my bestest of best friends, and I'll cherish him until I die. He really saved my life and gave my young son and I, a real family. This matters to me more than anything. I just giggle sometimes remembering I nearly wrote him off, nearly, for being such a goober that first chat, and I'm so glad I didn't. I even love his flaws, or what he perceives as flaws, I love them, I love him.

Optimism really was what kept me going. Plus, I'm a catch ;)

I don't know how much the online dating scene has changed the last few years, but I wish I could tell people it's okay if you haven't found your partner in life yet. I know folks who didn't meet thier partners until they were 40, I know fresh divorced 29 year olds. Like, don't rush, let it come and gather patience, if you can, inside your heart.

The context works, but you're very right, I changed it from it's traditional meaning use in my sentence

I don't even want to give validation to the party name, it's not correct. Solid r's is a good idea, and maybe I should have said that. Should I change it? I don't mean no harm except to the traitors. As I think of it though, solid as an adjective has a neutral/positive connotation. Gonna need somthing with a negative connotation, no?

At least some of the hard r's I once knew back then, blue collar old timers in the factory, supported Bernie. When he was not the one running, guess who they voted for.

It was the biggest mistake.

In related news, I saw today what year other countries implemented universal healthcare... My jaw dropped as I saw many dates listed long before I was even born.

I'm so sad.

I've heard it enough in person

"Just do a bank credit program. You give them $500 you don't have and..." Fuck off

 

I've an issue.

I have a bunch of plants that need to come in for the winter. I have gotten rid of every plant I own that is toxic to cats. We have two.

I've been growing a lemon tree for 4 years now. It's finally in its final pot, and 3-4 feet tall. Meaning, it cannot go up on my winter shelf, and needs to sit on the floor.

One of our cats is, well, chompy. So I looked up if the lemon tree was toxic to cats. I really didn't think it would be, but yay, it is.

We've two bathrooms, in a very small house. My son's bathroom has a skylight, so for now, not knowing where to put this tree, I stuck it in his tub. I take it out and watch for the cats when he showers, and then put it back in.

My husband made comment about my plant shelf this morning, because I'm down to one functional plant light, anyway, I said this is nothing, and told him what I've been doing with the lemon tree the last few days.

He said, well that doesn't sound sustainable. I said, well what else should I do?

He is so paranoid about our cats getting sick. He suggested I should get rid of the tree, that's what he would do. I said, it feels like I cant have hobbies because of the cats, I've already gotten rid of so many of my plants for them.

He then got mad at me for blaming him, I really should hear myself sometimes. I said I wasn't blaming him. And he left for work.

I see people with plants and cats. Like, what the hell should I do? I've been growing this lemon tree from seed, and I don't want to get rid of it.

I already have a tropical plant, that has grown too large for the house, is toxic to the cats, and its sitting outside right now freezing to death. It makes me depressed.

:(

I love making my own hot sauce. And I put it on everything. I like the red chilli's I find in the Mexican market. I don't like the smoked chipotle like peppers, but any other type of dried pepper I will use- with a lot of lime and garlic. I could drink it it's my favorite.
