Thanks! It's interesting how many people set long term goals for themselves... and then get "distracted" form their purpose by short term influences and events. And yes, it takes some discipline

Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

I totally understand the need to periodically "clean up" a little bit... it's part of the whole Admin gig, which I have been part of (still am, in distant places) more times than I care to think

You are doing a good thing for those cats! It's sad how so many people treat cats as "things" rather than living creatures.

Lovely to see this... memories from my distant past! In the far far distance, I even see Gibraltar. We lived in that area when I was very young (1973-1981)... of course it is MUCH more built up today...

Yeah, building your brand is super important... if you're going to do anything online, aside from watching Seinfeld reruns. That said, I think a lot of people just don't understand how Hive works, in a

PayPal is already moving further and further down the list of companies I am involved with. Both eBay and Etsy — major commerce platforms I use a lot — more or less "divorced" themselves from

In the spirit of modern life, medicalization of normalcy and so forth, I sometimes resort to calling it "Too Many Interests Syndrome." Somehow, it seems to affect HSPs/Autism Spectrum people

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, you're definitely right about a society that can't (or doesn't WANT to) handle honest problems. In so many cases, it seems like people's egos get in the way. It seems likely that this is part of a

Thanks for the support @ewkaw, I appreciate it!

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
