Dogwood. Hidden away under the canopy, reaching out and up to find sunshine in the PNW rain forest. Beautiful white spring flowers.

After leaving my beloved PNW when I was 12 to move to smoggy searing Los Angeles and missing the green and rain for 45 years, I’m back. We just bought a dogwood for the backyard. So excited for spring.

THANK you! Wish I had known this app two weeks ago. Neither of my banks have virtual credit cards. The one CSR even said “That’s a great idea! I’ll pass that along.” 🙄

Do you have any gratitudes that are in heavy rotation? My husband and me moving back to my beloved Pacific Northwest are two of my favs.

If you could speed the conveyor belt up, that would be greeeeat.

Benign fasciculation. It only used to happen after walking, and in my quads and calves. I swam competitively in division III and never happened in my upper body. I never worried about it. For folks that don’t understand the minimal and random nature of the ticks, here’s a good video.

Don’t need the homeless. You can pluck a hair, donate your blood, or even take a plug of your foreskin if you have one, to generate the neural stem cells from iPSC, the cell type they use in this process.

Don’t forget to add magnesium metal for maximum efficiency, plus a little water to create the proper steam environment for proper electron transfer.

K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:

Purple Rain" by Prince “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival “Rain” by The Beatles “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” by Bob Dylan “Here Comes the Rain Again” by Eurythmics “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Ann Peebles “Rainy Night in Georgia” by Brook Benton “Rain King” by Counting Crows

Only one missing is the REM song.

Ok. This is a perfect start to a playlist. I’ve never heard the Ann Peebles song.

You my dear sir or madam are a GOD for introducing me to that particular day’s panel.

Get more depressed and add intense anxiety to the mix.

If my depression is bad, but not suicidal bad, then I overeat. If it’s suicidal bad, I stop eating.

I’m waiting for rule 34ification of this post.

If only. We can dream.

Samsung XCover Pro 6. Because it’s the only phone out there with a removable battery on the fly. Takes me 15 seconds to pop in my second fully charged battery. Because I’m ADD and constantly forget to charge my phone. When I’m out the door about to drive my 55 mile commute to work I want a fully charged battery and my car won’t charge the battery properly.

Oh, and it’s INDESTRUCTIBLE. I fell with the phone in my right hand, landed my full 200 lb on my hand, phone back against the bike path asphalt, phone back sliding on asphalt for 2 feet with my full fallen 200 lb landing only on the phone. I ask friends to point out the scratch on the case from the fall, and they can’t until I point it out to them.
