Ah yes. I very much relate to that "sticking with something till well past its natural expiration date" tendency. I guess I was raised with a very strong sense of seeing things through and not

Ah yes, the spinning plates on the poles... I have long been able to relate to that analogy. Whether there's actually a "they" or not, the world is definitely set up to make us all feel more

Yeah, the shorter days are definitely not making it easy. I have two more trees to completely take down, and another four that need topping/trimming to get them back from the house and gutters. Always

Thanks! Now that wall needs to be taken care of. Some of the siding and foundation actually had mold on it, because the sun never got back there...

It's a good story, so DO stick to it! And pretty rewarding too... in particular from the inside the house perspective. Lots more to be done...

Seems like there is always something, no matter where you are in life. Lately, it has mostly been physical bushes and trees... but there's some mental space t be cleared up this winter, as well.

Sounds like you're pretty set @baah, that's cool. I've been looking at the mini splits... how do you like yours, after going through a summer? We have a conventional heat pump (that's the one that needs

Thanks for your kind words @dswigle, as well as for your generous gift! Sometimes I pause and ponder the fact that I sound more and more like my parents "I just don't understand how everything got

Yes, I actually wrote a piece about High Sensitivity and the Autism Spectrum (and Aspergers, in particular) a long time ago, but ended up pulling it down because of the constantly fluid nature of how "The

Thanks for the thoughtful comments @edb, appreciate your visit. I have considered — and still am doing so — putting some HSP related articles here. I wouldn't so much be doing them with the Hive community

That's one of the things I do like about the blockchain content... it has the potential to serve as a sort of "historical archive" of things people might look back on from a future time...

Hi Silvia! I guess there are quite a few of us here who had a blogging background... I blogged a little in Danish, as well, but that one has also gone, a long time ago. For me, Steem was a "return"

Watching it happen around here (Washington state, USA) in may different ways. What I watch with some concern is the sharp increase in what I call "bottom line staples" at the grocery store, rather

I think the "functioning coherently" part is really important here... just thinking about human nature, broader adoption is likely to be helped along by presenting an image that decentralization

It is interesting to see this compilation... thanks for taking the time. I wonder what it would look like if everything related to Splinterlands was removed from the listings... seems like there might

The heart moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes it can be difficult to truly understand why we connect with certain people the way we do.

Sometimes there are a few people with whom we can reunite, and it feels like time simply didn't pass at all. Lise (mentioned in my post) was one such... sometimes we'd go a couple of years, but we seems
