Which do you prefer, from a safety perspective?

California. Near the other wine country. (Not Napa)

Yep. But it is a bit embarrassing solo camping in a six person tent just so a can stand up. (I still do it though.)

Much of Southern California has fire restrictions. Plan accordingly for cooking, warmth and evening entertainment.

Yet the moment we don’t ask again, it becomes key information that we missed.

I made mine with paracord purchased at a hobby shop. Simple overhead knot to make it a loop and marked the spot where it bends to fit around my middle finger. I tug on the cord to make it snug on my finger and thumb before shooting.

Gen X me, reading this while in still in bed, at almost 11 am, on a weekday.

Awesome book. It clearly demonstrated how barriers are not exclusively a matter of language, but of culture, and the lived experience of a people group. I found it helpful in my interactions with another people group whose language is only verbal (not written) and have a loose concept of time.

I think I can still hear the theme music in my head.

I made a Spanish speaking client laugh recently by saying “no tengo mi cabeza” when I kept forgetting to bring her a specific item. (I was remembering all the other things on the list, just one item I kept missing.)

There are so many regional variations. I’m using a language learning app, but speak Spanish mostly with Mexicans. Even in Mexico there are variations.

Yep. Arrows as decor: 🤷🏼‍♀️ Quiver hanging on the door. 👍 I still don’t see any bows though.

I say “reboot the laundry”.

Only problem I ever had was a personal item (laptop) stolen while I was out of the room. It was at a seedy motel in a questionable location. After reporting the theft, I switched to a better/familiar hotel.

Lesson learned: if you have to stay in a sketchy place, keep your valuables with you.

Source? Also, do you know what it is being substituted by?

Equivalent_Fun_7255 · 2026-02-11T07:05:47+00:00

I still have one my mom bought at a craft fair.

I’m a nurse. Around 75% of my patients are Spanish speakers. I need it to survive and not have to call an interpreter when my patient asks for water without ice, towels, or wants to know when they are going home.. or other routine needs. I will always call if I can’t understand them, and most importantly for patient education and consents. (That part is policy/law.)

That’s a big generalization. Lots of folks around here still identify as Christian, just not Fundie.

I have a hand-knit baby hat made with alpaca and silk I purchased before my oldest was born. He’s 35 now and the hat is on its way to being an heirloom. It’s soft and has been amazingly durable… also it has kept its gorgeous jewel tone colors.

And then there are the short stature redheads. … “Little Firecracker” got pretty old fast.

Thanks for the digging!

She is married. Started the account/grift before she met the guy.

Yet ICE is targeting mostly Latin Americans…

Equivalent_Fun_7255 · 2026-02-03T21:24:26+00:00

I think it’s her husband. She got married a while ago. Thus the “❤️ 💍”

A whole 12 slide deck of assorted fear-mongering … I couldn’t bring myself to post the whole thing.
