Gold has done really well these past few years!

I think I would like that shop! When I think of the British spirit a certain elegance and grit come to mind. Kind of like Bruce Wayne-- polished on the surface but can deliver a proper @ss-kicking if he

That beer sounds delicious. I need to branch out and try some new ones again. I've kind of been stuck on Guinness Extra Stout lately. Sadly, a lot of the craft brewers are closing in our area due to the

It's crazy. They're saying it was the North Korean hacker group, Lazarus. I don't think there are many good choices for the ETH team at this point but it'll be interesting to see how they deal with it.

I worry that the pendulum might swing too far in the other direction too. It's strange here in America. Our economy is reliant upon the illegal immigrant workforce -- especially in the agricultural,

We've experienced the same thing here in America with our own western-based cultural identity. We've been mocked and demoralized while other cultures have been celebrated in mainstream media for the better

Oh, I thought for sure that was what you were talking about. The relationship decisions are equally as difficult. There's always second-guessing.

It's so peaceful when you can restrain yourself from following every market move. This has been such a strange cycle since institutional investors have gotten onboard. Great analogy between Colorado and

I agree. The former feeds your soul and the latter kills it slowly.

Thank you! Yes, no one else can make those really big life decisions but us. Others can provide their perspectives and choose to support you (or not) but that's all they can really do.

Thank you Nancy! Another eight years in that place would have probably left me with less confidence/happiness and not any wealthier. I was beginning to experience some ageism there even in my mid-40's.

I get the butterflies in the pit of my stomach just thinking about all of the things that could've gone wrong. I think the anxiety mostly just centered around losing that safety net. It was easy to see

I've been wondering a lot lately about what would happen if we were to revive it and give it one final push. It would even be more relevant today than it would have been back then. Unfortunately, all of

Thank you! Wonderful, I'm looking forward to it!

Life really is the sum of the decisions we make. I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't changed my path. Moving away was the best decision I could have made even though it's been tough to be away from

Thank you Nancy! My fingers are crossed. If I don't get accepted this time I'll just keep submitting. Haha, I wonder what kind of tea the rabbit likes? I'll have to be prepared for his visit. I hope you're

Thank you Rebecca!

Thanks @owasco! You should try again too! It's so easy to submit to them now. I'm going to become a thorn in their sides, submitting as often as I can.: ) I have a pretty voluminous backlog of work.

Thanks! I've noticed there's not that old familiar feeling of desperation this time. It would be wonderful to be published but I'll still be happy if they decide to pass. I can't believe how many different

Thank you! It was a very thoughtful gift. I'll definitely send a photo or post about it when it's all done. It'll probably be a week or so. I'm trying to source the pill now but I need to make sure I also
