I just realized I didnโ€™t watch Bubba Hotep during Halloween. A travesty I will have to remedy ASAP.

You Deserve a Life Where Fear Is an Occasional Visitor, Not a Property-Owner Fear, once our guardian in the wild, has become our jailer in the modern world.

At this point, I'm a ghost in waiting. I like that it implies I can have my ghost title now. But holy cow, how woeful is a ghost who hasn't died yet? I can rattle my chains all, "kill me..." ๐Ÿคฃ

When I first saw Halle Berry trending, my first thought was, "please don't be dead." So glad it's regarding her owning Newsom for not supporting a bill 2 years in a row that aimed to make it easier for women to get menopausal care. Midlife & older is a huge, active voting block. Stupid to ignore.

Just a reminder, on Thurdsay nights at 8PM Eastern I do a mental health check in on Zoom. These last about 45 minutes and lots of folks, myself included are finding them helpful. If you'd like to join us, let me know and I'll DM the invite to you.

Kali would like to remind everyone that this book exists before she goes to dance with her fellow witches in the woods tonight.

Stay in the fight? As if a speedboat is a freaking galleon with cannons or something, jeez. They were attacked from the air, they didn't even know they were in a fight until their boat was hit. They weren't the aggressors. They didn't attack first. In fact, they didn't attack anyone at all.

It's a pretty rainy day here. I might walk to town later to get my mail. Probably stop at the store for a couple of things. We'll see. I don't mind getting wet in the rain, but it's a little much if the wind is blowing it in my face ๐Ÿ˜‚

@team-stardust.pmd.social The paper towel fusing with the food sounds so frustrating! Perhaps try parchment. Shouldn't stick. Hope this helps. Have a super day!

If the milk is absolutely frigid cold, I don't notice it. But if it's warmer than that, I do.

Wow, I'm really surprised they chose that area to dry it since it would be exposed to various road debris & car exhaust. Very interesting choice.

Good advice. I fell into a hole at about 8-9 mo pregnant holding my toddler stepdaughter's hand & she went down too. Only it was freshly mown grass hiding the hole. Hidden dangers lurk in what can seem plain sight.

Today, after getting my responsibilities done (& frankly, it's a load off my mind), I'm doing nothing but me stuff. I'm gonna game while these blueberry muffins bake. Later I'm going to cobble together a new effort at a beef pot pie. No recipe per se, but found a "gravy" that may be great in it.

I love going to bed at night knowing the deer are all bedded down for the night in the field around my house. It's just a nice feeling to know they're there.

If you look toward the left in the field, you can 4 deer bedded down in the darkness.
