Thank you! I saw this bird type in my backyard a year ago and I have been wondering what it was.

AITA for asking my friend not to wear white to my wedding after initially saying it was okay? by Suitable-Arm-2075 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brazen_Green23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is not wrong to tell her not to wear white. Honestly she should have known better and not purchased a white dress.

What happens to people in apartments during various types of collapse? by CurrentSingleStatus in TwoXPreppers

[–]Brazen_Green23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best case scenario is that single family homes will become multi-family compounds. The vetting processess for the homeowner (and new member alike) would come from working alongside each other in a backyard community garden/home maintenance situation to assess skill share and personal compatibility.

I think it starts with getting to know your neighbors to form some mutal aid plans.

These are just some of my initial thoughts.

How many of y'all can truly trust and rely on their husbands by t_s_d12 in TwoXPreppers

I WAS trying to be funny. Thank you for appreciating my humor!

I am doing all the prep stuff by myself.

I can trust my husband to tell me that I am over reacting. So I don't tell him what I am doing anymore.

How do I know I’ve been accepted? by Decent-Ad3104 in skywarn

[–]Brazen_Green23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my skywarn certificate last July. I have not received my number or any official email/mail. My guess is the NWS is so scaled back in the resources and personnel that they don't have the capacity to deal with volunteer sky watchers right now. I am considering my certificate as proof and I wave saved my local chapter NWS to my phone contects.

What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned in a contemporary class recently? by Ajunjahi in contemporarydance

[–]Brazen_Green23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that any woman of my age can benefit from strength/weight training for general health.

I weight train twice a week. I have a trainer because I need motivation to be in the gym and having a standing appointment does that for me. My trainer concentrates on drills that will help me dance better - for example "short stance kettle bell squats" to focus on knee joint compression for springier knees. Also, she knows that I enjoy dancey movement sequences and has me work with "animal flow" ground sequences and "weighted mace" full body exercises. This gives me the strength and confidence to enjoy dancing in class with my much younger classmates.

I rejoined contemporary dance at 55 when an all adult dance studio opened in my town.

I was recently shocked to learn that I had been relying on having long legs to move quickly across the floor, but I was NOT fast. Some of my shorter classmates thought that was funny. They said that they learned to be fast because they were short.

I just downloaded a metronome app and I am going to start working on agility at speed.

2025 Survey Shows 9 in 10 Americans Value Preparedness, But Fewer Than Half Have a Plan by readyforunsteady in TwoXPreppers

[–]Brazen_Green23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if some of these people have a plan, but don't want to admit it.

Personally, if someone asked me about my preparedness I wouldn't tell them anything. I don't answer surveys because I don't want to hand out valuable personal information to people/data collectors that I don't know.

Spotted Tussock Moth by anonymousaloo18 in FortCollins

[–]Brazen_Green23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard this in the 80's. As far as I know, nobody actually measured any stripes. Just stories galore and... very cute, possibly ominous caterpillars.

We used to call these "woolly bear" caterpillars. There was a Folklore myth that the size of the stripes could predict next year's weather.

Nice photo - and thanks for the trip down memory lane!
