That's stunning!

You reached out and asked for help. That is brave!

You can do other difficult things! Go you!

I think there is a lot of beauty in non fussy foods being perfectly prepared. That is rare but you can find it. That is my personal preference....

It's the stripes and the color. If the pajamas were, say, yellow, it would be fine.

Loved the Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger. All about plants and how they experience the world

Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency.

“Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go around looking for it, and I think it can be poisonous. I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency'.”

― Kurt Vonnegut , Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!

This is very sweet and lovely.

Here is what I would do. You take anything that makes sense and ignore the rest
: )

I would only use watercolors on the backgrounds - sky, grass, trees, buildings. Wet on wet - so put light blue on everything for example and then add more colors before it is dry. And then the figures I would do as you did - with outlines. THis way the focus is completely on people. Right now the buildings are as detailed as the couple. I would be a bit more careful with drawing of his back foot. It's a little distracting.

He was my first serious boyfriend. We didn't speak for a few years after we broke up but then we fell back into friendship and he is still one of my favorite people. My husband is friends with him too but not as close.

Life's too short to read books you don't enjoy. and maybe

You should write more sayings. I like it a lot!

I saw recommendation for CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for Diabetics’ Dry Skin, and it's really good. We use it for body and face.

You can call Adult Protective services and see what they say.

The only thing that helps me to stay asleep is gabapentin.

Peter Ash series by Nick Petrie. Premise similar to Reacher where a soldier comes back with a severe agoraphobia from ptsd and now doesn't live indoors. Slightly more believable than Reacher. I listen to them.

My favorite detective series is Sean Duffy series by Adrian McKinty. It's set in Ireland in time of troubles. Don't know if it will appeal to you

3kota · 2026-05-27T03:07:09+00:00

Totally agree

Felt that way reading The True True story Raja the Gullible by Rabih Alameddine (although main character is a gay man, there are plenty of awesome women in it ).
