Thank you, Carol! :-)

Methinks we are thinking alike! :-)

Oh gosh yes, celery seeds are almost like dust motes! Very tiny and light. We are concerned that at some point purchasing seeds may become as difficult/expensive as buying actual food. So part of our

Hola, Bluefin. This is synchronicity... I live in the tropics, but I'm getting ready to poke some onions in the ground meself. Michel and I have been working on garden beds for a while, which is easy here

Thank you, @carolkean, for giving me the heads up about this. @michelios and I are in Costa Rica preparing our farm for use as a commercial greenhouse, and electroculture is one of the things we intend

P.S. Our farm here in CR would be a great place for a Hive meetup. Just sayin'. ;-)

Indeed, there be bears in Gatlinburg! Here's the link to one of my posts about that trip. That is the post where you can find this pic of you being beary oblivious to the bear coming toward you. Them were

Not interested in attending this or helping market it. Michel and I won't be traveling to any country with covid restrictions or vaccine requirements. It's baffling that so many anarchists would agree

"Your machinima storytelling skills were way ahead of your time..." well, I'm glad you think so. Sadly there has been another Little Match Girl incident. It almost seemed like a deliberate slight.

Hi, Olga! How are you and Bugavi, and the rest of your family?

Thank you for the kind words, Carol. Yep, I definitely wish I had the money for high end hardware. Maybe if I keep dreaming and hoping hard enough....

No can do, @anomadsoul. Too many effing vaccine requirements and @michelios and I just aren't playing that game. Y'all have fun.

Thank you, Carol. :-) Yes, I lived with the "it's all in your head" for more than fifteen years. If one more doctor had said that to me I would probably have punched them.

I could not agree more about the state of healthcare in the U.S. For exactly the reason you mentioned, it took just over fifteen years for me to get a diagnosis for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. I can

I haven't been able to find a single thing that truly helps with POTS. The best I've been able to do is manage symptoms. I take a beta blocker (atenolol) and now an ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker,)

The ordeal was definitely rough. But the outcome was good in many ways. Thank you for the well wishes!

Truth.

I lived in Southwest Virginia before I came to Costa Rica myself. The healthcare here is definitely better than the healthcare there in the forgotten corner of the state. I wouldn't let my experience with

Hi, Eric. You know... I am so glad I persisted until I ended up at Hospital Mexico. I have no idea why it's called that, since it's in Costa Rica, but I wouldn't care if it was called Hospital Narnia at
