It's not hoarding if it's books.

Yesterday's book was by an author I usually love but it gave me the willies so no photo

I’m an atheist but have enough leftover Catholicism to believe that Hell is empty and all the demons are here

Feel better soon

Have fun!

You need to know it's not "crazy" for experiences you endured decades ago to still affect you so much that you need to work a recovery today. The passage of time doesn't heal anything on its own.

If anything, it deepens wounds that are not properly understood or acknowledged.

She was about 5 when she came to me and really overwhelmed

After just under two years the cat feels comfortable enough to nibble at my nose instead of staring at me when she wants me to get up. She started talking and now chattering away.
I think she’s sure that she won’t be returned this time

The life of a showgirl is not all racy costumes and elaborate headdresses. Sometimes you also have to convince a man that wearing a strap across his mouth will help him play the flute better. #phorbeia

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

I'm sorry.

I asked about POTS 2 providers ago and they didn't think so but I was having weird stuff and iron infusions

Oh, sorry I misread I think

Oh dear. Isn't he's the same as double jointed?

I have fibromyalgia and regular arthritis diagnosed. I haven't pursued it further because I just gave up on specialists
