Well, you know how it is... I am your neighborhood mentally ill-commie-hippie-socialist-chaos monger, after all! But seriously, though... as I seem to remember you've pointed out yourself, corrupt lefties

All the food is poison. I'm glad we're growing more and more of our own food... I just like to know where my food comes from, and we generally avoid anything pre-packaged, as much ae can. Of course, you

What a very pretty little cat! I really love that kitten photo at the top.

She's certainly a very beautiful cat... and she looks very affectionate in these photos!

Finding moments of peace is particularly important during busy times. Looks like you have ways of creating your own peace, and that's a beautiful thing. In our small town of less than 10,000 we also get

Absolutely "yes" to Hive News... I've been missing those reports. I don't know if anything else has taken its place. Certainly worth a try. Yes, bigger and different needs now... so perhaps needed

Comment upvoted simply for recommending The Expanse! Awesome show.

The more visible the cryptosphere becomes, the more likely it seems that we'll get meddlesome government regulations. Since crypto has now grown to the point where outright banning them is too late...

It's a very nice looking cat you have there! And yes, they do become quite spoiled... ours is very much part of most things we do.

Such strange times in which we live. We've been in an elevated state of lockdown since the weekend before Christmas because the case count spiked... and we already notched up one level from summer before

Yes, coffee can be a wonderfully relaxing thing! My wife and I have taken time for "coffee time" every afternoon around 5-6 for more than ten years... it's the most relaxing part of our day to

Growing your own food is such a marvelous experience... and well done! One of the good things about our 2020 was that we put a lot of effort into growing food in our garden, and it was so rewarding to

I suppose it's good in some sense, but misses a much deeper problem: Median property prices have increased by almost four times as much as median incomes since 1960... so being able to afford rent/mortgage,

I was just thinking about the last cycle where I kept actively blogging on Steem even as the token dipped below 7 cents and there was nothing but doom and gloom and within nine months we ended up north

I hope you are right! Your cyclical analysis certainly makes some sense. I kept on actively blogging all the way through 7c Steem during the last cycle... and it would sure be nice if it happened again.

That is very true... and one of the more important things you pointed out here is that we tend to follow interesting people, and are likely to read their posts even when it's on a topic we really don't

The thing that has always been amusing to me is what I consider — more or less — to be "selective definitions." If someone says their dead grandmother spoke to them and told them not to drink
