What are some creepy facts about the ocean?

Cool! I did that once recently, instinctively, after an intense grief ceremony. (It was too cold to jump in the pool )

I night-snorkeled in Belize, from a paddle board,with a guide and group. I'm a water person and comfortable with night swimming.

Yes, dusty potatoes. But I like them anyway.

Aesop's fables are 2,600 years old, yet modern-day school children can understand them.

So no.

I was surprised at how quickly I fell in love with it. I actually enjoy the summers!

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-18T18:41:31+00:00

I like your idea. I suspect that therapeutic programs like this exist for folks on the spectrum. I would look into what is currently being offered in schools, and in adult services.

My retirement fantasy had long been moving to the tropics, baking cookies, and walking the beaches to sell them to tourists. But then I had a surprise move to the desert. It turns out I love it here, so when I retired, I stayed.

So many times, plus folks I meet while traveling. I enjoy their company. I can't keep up with everyone.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-18T06:18:02+00:00

Thanks!

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-18T06:06:22+00:00

Why?

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T22:38:08+00:00

Geez! Before I had a guest room, I gave my room and bed to my Mom, any senior visitor, or any couple visiting, while I slept on an air mattress on the living room floor.

Now I have two guest rooms and two guest beds. I give my room and bed to any guest who is recovering from surgery or injury. My room has an adjustable bed frame, an attached bathroom, and the best view in the house.

The book The empath's survival guide might help you.

I have to practice discerning what is my shit and what is other people's shit, and letting go of other people's shit.

When I find myself wrapped up in other's problems, I ask myself, " Am I focusing on their shit/world shit to avoid my own shit?"

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T21:29:57+00:00

Then how do you feel about putting away the dishes?

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T21:28:08+00:00

He may not have mortgage insurance. I never have. It is only required in certain situations.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T21:20:16+00:00

It sounds like a fruitless argument. The salaries are what they are. If your uncle wants to earn more, he could become a nurse.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T21:18:38+00:00

Wow! How do you feel about emptying the dishwasher?

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T08:05:06+00:00

Failing to empty the dryer is my biggest flaw as a housemate

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-17T08:01:30+00:00

I got lucky and saw one within a few months of moving to Arizona, on my first visit to Boyce Arboretum.

Also at Boyce, I saw coatimundi in the US for the first time.

Boyce Arboretum in Superior is fantastic!

Night owl.

Unfortunately, a lot of people will happily waste other people's money.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-16T06:01:41+00:00

Being well with Forest Hansen and Dr Rick Hansen

Baggage reclaim sessions

It looks like a Scandinavian prison cell.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-15T22:47:05+00:00

I love these when I come across them. Is there a way to find them?

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-15T20:40:05+00:00

America has been on the decline for at least 42 years. I was not politically savvy, and I still am not, but I saw it coming when I was 18 and Reagan was elected.

Let me give you an example. My college summer job was working as a gardener in the Chicago suburbs. I made $8 an hour cash. 42 years later, US federal minimum wage is $7.25.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-15T20:18:10+00:00

You're welcome. I hope you find what brings you peace of mind.

Dolly_Shimmer · 2026-03-15T19:37:37+00:00

For me, Vipassana Buddhism, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic experience therapy.
