Haha, yeah. I read once that pineapple juice is better for colds than orange juice. No idea if it’s actually true so I hedge my bets by having both.

Hot showers (for steam), spicy food, pine-orange juice.

I still have so many puzzles to solve… Every puzzle reveals 3 more… But I love it.

My current song obsession is “Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, but I Need You to Leave” by Will Wood

My bros I met when I was working at KFC about 18 years ago.
One is an extrovert who adopted me because I was sitting and reading alone in the break room on his first day and who is happy to advise me when I struggle.
The other is another introvert who sometimes goes AWOL for weeks or months but I know always has my back in the end and I can tell him anything.
Lately we’ve been trying to get together every month at least for my mental health and it has been amazing.
Somewhat recently (about 9 years ago I think) one of them gained a partner who’s been an amazing addition to our little found family.
All of us have abusive parents, so we’re all each other’s family.

My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He’s also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he’s just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.

Transition earlier.
Try to get away from my abusive parents.
Do certain things to meet my best friends earlier and convince them.
Stand up for myself more.
Spend more time with my grandparents.

I’ve thought about it a lot

It was about a futuristic world where the world and technology were intertwined and people would change how they looked, often becoming part animal or whatever, but then the technology goes down (I forget how) and everyone has to adapt to the real world and learn to live in it again

Donkey Kong Game & Watch (1982)

Laziness doesn’t exist, it’s made up, there’s always an underlying cause

I appreciate your response and the other person who replied to you is right as well, but I wanted to add that I can “appreciate” Bible stories the same way I can appreciate other myths or legends, many of which the Bible stories originated from. I love mythology, it fascinates me, especially seeing who borrowed from who, but that doesn’t make them real or worth worshipping.

I read the Bible. I started asking questions about things in the Bible that didn’t match science, I loved science (still do), but nobody wanted to answer my questions, they’d just get mad, so I started seeking information elsewhere and came across atheist or ex-religious sources who answered the questions I had. Those sources also helped me realise the damage that had been done to me mentally, which I’m still working on overcoming.

She doesn’t mind. She meows in reply or comes running when he does it, and he doesn’t do it very often.

My partner named our cat Lana because he wanted to be able to scream “LAANAAA!” like Archer

I miss Snake

My partner and I spent the whole game going “these two better not stay together at the end, they’re horrible and that would be a terrible moral”

When I was still being taken to church I won the door prize at youth group (church for teens) one night during a special event we were running (some thing to encourage people to invite their non-believing school friends and show how “hip” and “fun” they were, there were raffles and video games alongside our usual “live music”, skate ramps and bbq). The prize itself was a mobile phone. I was so happy because I didn’t already have one, but ultimately my parents decided I couldn’t have/use it until I got a job to pay for the credit. I did eventually get a job at KFC and was able to use the phone.

Another time I was visiting NZ with my parents and we were touring the base of a mountain and the guide was like “guess the height and whoever gets closest wins this pen”, I won but my mum made me give the pen back because she thought I’d cheated somehow? Idfk. Still a bit salty about the pen.

I found out when looking into the term “tomboy” that a “tom” was a term for a boisterous and unruly boy. The word “tom” does come from tomcat as others have said because unneutered tomcats are often loud and unruly. I suspect Peeping Tom has a similar “tom” origin: an unruly boy that peeps on girls.

My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk

Huh. I’m only a few episodes in but it seemed promising so far. Oh well.
