I say June 2nd of 2025

I type 2025-06-02

Handwritten it's 2-June-2025

I'm from before 2000 and the turn to years being so small broke me, it used to be so clear which number was the year with just 2 digits, and day, month, year is sorting from smallest unit to biggest, it has logic. But then for awhile you could have a 04, an 05, and an 06 and I was working with other countries, it wasn't at all clear which was year month or day, so I started sandwiching the month in the middle as a word when handwriting dates and using 4 digit year, and year month day sorts like a dream for filenames.

I get black bean veggie burger with bacon and cheese at the cafe at my work and it's fantastic. I put mayo, jalapenos and onion on it, sometimes a little Sriracha.

The red light cameras here will call that running a red light, you have to leave it clear by law. That's a spoken rule.

This is my husband's "pet peeve", as he puts it. "Don't just throw on your brake in the middle of the road! Why are you slowing down? Signal!"

I have a trans son, and this is on the list of side effects if they use T, the loss of female sexual response. Though it's my understanding that testosterone drives libido in women too, I guess it's a dosage thing.

To be honest, mine vary in intensity but yeah the most intense are sort of like going crazy for a short while, can't form words.

Oh the black kittens. I had a tiny black kitten Anonymous who was the worst cat ever. Screeched and wouldn't let me pick him up or pet him, crawled into inaccessible places and peed where it couldn't be cleaned, tore up merchandise in the shop. He was such a nightmare of a kitten but one day (and it really felt like a change from one day to the next) emerged an enormous long haired black tomcat. Sweetest natured big cat. So affectionate, he would put his paws on my cheeks to "kiss" me. Smart too, still a little evil, jealous of any boyfriends. But such a wonderful adult cat. Rest in peace, Anonymous.

I guess I'd try some, regardless of the legal status of other meats. To see if I liked any. But the insect population has collapsed worse than other animals, I'm not sure how this is an environmental improvement.

Culinary-wise I think I'd do better being vegan probably, though I'd certainly miss having meat and miss cheese and eggs even more.

Maybe I'd get chickens again and let them eat the bugs so I could have the eggs.

That's assuming I didn't end up really enjoying cricket pancakes or popped flies or deep fried beetles or stir fried rice with ants or whatever.

Ah, I see, you want to be the pretty one in the relationship ;)

Your dad needs to get over it, I can't imagine saying anything like that to any of my kids. Just "are you happy? Is he happy? Good, then "

I would personally be squicked out by that age gap because she's young enough to be your kid. But I'm not you or her, it's not my business, right? If your daughter thinks she'll be good for you, the reverse matchmaking is funny, why not at least meet and see how you feel?

Maybe the iron skillets. I don't think a day passes that I don't use those. Or my house, it's from the 1940s. Some of the furniture is older than that too, though I don't think there is any one piece I actively use each day.

Truly oldest? Double entry accounting, I use nearly every day and that's from around 1300.

Meh. I'd try it, if the peanut butter is not sweetened. Just love onion in a sandwich so much, and don't like the peanut butter and jelly at all.

They do not do deposit returns here anymore, but even so, most neighborhoods I've lived, people come look through the recycling for aluminum cans to scrap. So I would set them on the side in a tote instead, it was always such old people, moving slowly down the road with a rolling cart. This neighborhood is apparently too bougie for that, even though as far as I can tell we still are never more than 2 blocks from at least one homeless person.

Warrior. My God what a good show.

Wheel of Time, it kept getting better then they stopped.

Yeah. I actually do like big, occasionally. But also I like everyday sex, and with big guys you need some time between to heal & recover. This is NOT an advantage. Guys seem to think bigger is better, full stop. That's just not true. More pleasure (if you are into that) with a hung guy, sure. But WAY more pleasure overall with more sex.

Is that not an ideal size for most? It seems so. Don't think anyone should say they are packing "only 5.5", that's at least average, maybe more. Preferences vary of course, but this seems a crowdpleaser size.

Hmm. I would need to first be vaccinated vs. yellow fever, because apparently that hit so hard right then it left only a few hundred people. My own house is from 1940, though it's in the city now it was not developed yet. Holy fuck, it's also Reconstruction right after the civil war.

I don't think I would even try. Would be enough of a struggle finding a way to survive. And if we have learned one thing from science fiction, it's don't mess with the timeline.

Hmm.

1. Absolutely fucked
2. Still absolutely fucked
3. Ok for awhile I think. Until I was captured and killed for being some sort of impossible demon, or sacrificed as a prize because of unusual looks. Knives, tools to barter, rope, food. Nothing particularly good for hunting with.

Preacher. I was a season in before I looked it up. Still haven't read them, the show was so good.

Measure your waist monthly. Yep just your waist. For me, I generally see weight loss over a few months of increased exercise. You will get better results with strength training, less weight loss but more lean, so just as much change in volume. Bodyweight will get you there but at some point you may want to pick up weights.

Remember that physical activity does a lot more than keeping your size where you want it. It's good for your mental health, your bones, your heart, digestion, it's an important part of a healthy life, be glad you are able.

Yoga isn't competitive, but is physical exercise, that was why the example. Sport in general could be less competitive, and more fun.

There are already lots of categories in competitive sports. Nobody at my kids school was hostile towards the trans kids, that hostility is coming from the state and a few parents and the schools, as far as we can tell, are doing their best to insulate the kids from it.
