Hi @cuddlekitten! Adorable as always — thanks for visiting!

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 is a great shame to see something like this happen to 3Speak... or anyone, for that matter. I guess what mostly saddens me is that so many people seem to have exes to grind with others over... over,

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

Oh, I'm not going anywhere... but I do enjoy pointing out the absurdity, from time to time.

Doing it "for the children" always works for me. Heck, I'm old... "do it for your grandchildren" also works... Oh, I enjoy the fight... bellyaching about it, shining the light on it,

Ah yes, I've vaguely heard of variations of that... all in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I just wanna be able to pay my freakin' bills! I'm glad Idiocracy has at least gained a bit of momentum as a cult

Midwitocracy™ — I like it! It just got trademarked via "poor man's trademark," timestamped on the blockchain. But yes, it is unfortunately cyclical and I have not been able to find any evidence

I was actually a little surprised... I saw something tiny and yellow in the thicket from my home office window... and it was forsythias! We've only had one significant snow, and ne period of hard freeze

Minnesota... yeah, those are the really cold parts! We're a lot milder out here on the coast, and no Lake Effect snows. It's just nice to see life come back to things... 400"+ at the Interstate 90

It's interesting how these Midwit Power Enclaves seem to self-organize across almost all systems on this planet; governments, corporatocracies, religions, families, Hive... Steph sounds like an interesting

Congratulations @jsantana on 5 years of doing this! It has been quite a journey, no? I remember seeing your photos when I first began here, too... that was early 2017. Yes, let's hope we make it to 10

Well, there's your difference. On the occasions I was shuffled off to stay with my auntie instead of going with my parents, she lived on 24 acres of woodland and meadows... I never kept up with the journal

It's entirely possible I should have been an accountant, archivist or something else "organizational" like that.
