Very nice! I had the same fear about being in Washington as a stumbling block, even though Binance removed our state from their "no fly zone" a few weeks back. Thankfully, a helpful soul on the

I don't hate labels; in fact, I find them quite useful... I think people forget what labels really are: a description of some attribute we have that can be conveniently summarize. "Size 9 feet"

You guys seemed to fare better than most, and I'm glad to hear that you are free to move about, again. The gates are from a lovely B&B in the California high desert, near Joshua Tree. We used to go

Way back in the "God knows when," I used to go to a LOT of self-development retreats. One of the takeaways that has stuck with me for 30-odd years is this: Comparisons are deadly. Your life is

"Hive is Home." That resonates with me, and as you stated when something is "home" (as you well know!) we start putting a different level and attention into it. These days, when I consider

Yes, it does lead to your own demise... I believe therapists call it "self-forgetting." I was there, for a while, in my 20's.

Rats. I messed with your paradigm again. Sorry 'bout that... Must be my OCD showing...

Thank you @lordbutterfly for putting this together, and doing such a thorough job of research and good presentation of the proposal. I am also really glad this got such quick approval! We have spent a

This may come off sounding a bit harsh but it always amazes me how many people seem to have axes to grind, and how often those "axes" are actually more relative to their own ineffectualness than

Glad you're feeling better Fredrik! It's a nasty illness, and I very much relate to the feeling of "not like anything I've experienced before." I'm older than you (60) and had it back in late

It definitely can! My own therapist also did hypnotherapy (not on me, mind you) and evidently had quite a high success rate working with people with anxiety disorders.

This is all @klye and @nonameslefttouse's fault:

Wow @jaynie, I think I need a cigarette... and I don't even smoke! That's a spectacular feast... a lot more than just "steak and eggs." xo

I actually got turned down for being a "night stocker" at a grocery chain because of that... college degree was excessive. I just needed a relatively mindless job outside of non-standard business
