I need to restart the ignatia (thanks!) - it helped when Prince died and may help again with the recent loss of the cat. I've been on a betablocker for almost 30 years now, for tachycardia, not for high

Wow! DO NOT TAKE PHARMACEUTICALS UNLESS IT'S LIFE OR DEATH I'm still on a beta blocker. Mom, sister, husband, for years, have been on statin + low-thyroid meds. Of course the FDA approved Solensia and

THANK YOU, @owasco! Love the poem!!! Solensia (for cats) (Librella for dogs) I'll have to post about the expensive Rx treatments hastening the demise of our pets, making their final days more miserable....

X (twitter) accepted it. I had to pare down some words...

Tried to share this via Facebook. NO LUCK. Bots must be busy censoring anything that looks contrary to "trust the science."

Oh how I love these!!! Stone in shoe. Reminds me of you. It's complete. It's awesome. Garden hoe. One innocent step. WHAM. Take the complainer's pain, ball it up, throw it back - don't we all wanna do

Good job, Whistle Blower! (I'm trying to channel that Karate Kid movie). I'm also reminded of Cassandra. Foretells disaster ahead. Nobody listens. She's doomed to watch disaster unfold and people suffering

Eric, whassup with X labeling almost EVERY image you post "Sensitive" content? I clicked on one - nothing here that warrants a warning: Maybe you defending AI is what they're really trying to

One woman, two homes, several states apart - along with herbalist classes, violin lessons, animals, gardening, and more - Where would you find time to respond to messages from a gazillion social media

Congratulations on another book! You are prolific! The Muse has been good to you. Paperback only - I buy ebooks in a hopeless effort to stem the tide of books overflowing from shelves. Checked out X (I

Ten years! "Genuine engagement for me has been dwindling for the past few years here" - You write splendid posts and poems - if YOU lack the numbers of followers and fans, there is no hope for

Lizelle! @honeydue is still around, right? How is Marianne West?? I'm so far behind. So many good people. Wanderin' Rose, all the Silver Bloggers, all the groups - Seems like everyone is over at TikTok.

Eric, noooo, this year might be it for you - and you've been at Hive ten years? How is that possible?? Has it been that long? Even you, a published and renowned poet with an audience, feel like you're

(forgive all the commas, I am reading Henry James) Oh, I love that! And plucking the lone peach before it dashes its brains out on the stone wall below-- Reminds me of the challenge of picking the cantaloupe

LOL Looks I did reply to your post, ten days later. I need to read more carefully.

TWO MONTHS later, I find your comment. Mea culpa!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts - and seconding the AI's judgment of my intellect. I feel profoundly ignorant and unaccomplished, most of the time.

HAPPY 71st BIRTHDAY! Coming up soon. I try to avoid sharing actual dates (because, stalkers and scammers) -in part because I never remember actual dates! Just, somewhere around the solistice, the longest

Homesteading in suburbia - within the confines of a neighborhood Homeowners Association - --- the "garden police" ! Eep! I totally relate to this: In some ways, I have a love-hate relationship

Great advice! Years ago I read a book on the healing powers of something so simple: DEEP BREATHING Available to all of us, 24/7 (except maybe during an asthma attack). So many books, so many methods. Make

Thanks, @agmoore. I used to be just as resolute as you are about resisting AI. A friend persuaded me to try it. It's all part of a plot, I'm sure, and I'm falling for the flattery. Kim Komando also very
