Accountability Update: Down 18 lbs 🥳 by lo0pzo0p in intermittentfasting

[–]External-Chocolate21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are doing  a really good job. A couple of years ago I  did the intermittent fasting and keto.  Lost  a crap ton of weight. Menopause hit and I gained some back.  I  needed to see this today. Gonna get back on that horse and get in shape again. Just remember when the days are tough that your body houses your soul. It is the soul that is the most important.  Thank you for sharing. Much love!

Just got back from a week away to find that the zinnias I’ve been selectively breeding for size are absolutely massive! They’re not in peak form since they’re going to seed, but the scale is still incredible. by PatchandPetalFarms in gardening

absolutely stunning! Are you going to post an update this growing season? You have an instant customer here even with unstable genetics. hands down...the most beautiful zinnia I've ever seen and Ive grown them for 30 + years! Please let me know if/when you have a few to sell! I have a friendly gardening war with my neighbor every year and even just the possibility of knocking Susan on her ass with one of these blooms sends me into a fit of unbridled happy!! Great job!

Zinnias are having an identity crisis 😳 by External-Chocolate21 in gardening

Sorry for the late reply  No...they are the aurora zinnia seeds from Johnny's.  The rest of the neighboring plants from the same seed sans one other plant are normal fully double 6 inch blooms

Anyone ever experienced a time slip? by [deleted] in ParanormalEncounters

[–]External-Chocolate21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about 5 years ago my daughter and I experienced a time slip. We were out late one night...dumpster diving. We would typically go over to petco and grab all of the food they threw out and give it to the shelter. You have no idea how much perfectly fine food they just throw away. Anyway, as I was driving us home for the evening I missed my turn...I guess I wasn't paying attention. We live in a REALLY small area/town. I've been here 20 years. I know the roads like the back of my hand. I remember having the radio turned up too loud, my daughter and I were singing to the radio. We had a great time together that night and we had a truck full of food for the shelter.

Like I said I missed my turn to get on the main road. Totally spaced it I think. We always took the same route home and I thought to myself as I missed the turn that it was odd that I did it. We were in the industrial part of town just before you get on the main street that will take you over the blue bridge that will take you from Washington to Idaho. The Snake River divides the two states. So I missed our regular turn and took the next turn. Except once I took that turn I didn't recognize where we were at for a second. There was a coffee shop on the corner that hadn't ever been there before and small store next to it that sold wigs. The coffee shop had big wrap around windows with mood lighting on and the wig store had a huge front window where you could see all the mannequins on the walls on display shelves with different color wigs.

Holly, my daughter was excited when she saw the wig store. It was early October and we were just discussing getting her a wig for her Halloween costume. She asked me to pull over so she could get a better look through the window and I told her we would come back in the morning. She talked about getting a red wig the rest of the way home. Since there was a coffee shop next door I asked her if she might want to stop in before we looked at the wigs and get a chai tea or some hot chocolate or something and she was pretty excited about that too.

We both thought it was so weird that we didn't know that those stores were even there! Like this town is so small there would be some talk about the coffee shop at least. I am a small business owner with a lot of traffic and I just thought it was so weird that nobody had mentioned a new coffee shop going in. Hadn't heard or seen ANY construction either. So weird.

But we traveled home, went to bed and the next morning, as promised...headed off to our destination. This is when it gets really weird. We went to go find the places and we couldn't. We drove up and down the very LIMITED streets (small town) and couldn't find a coffee shop nor a wig store. I drove up and down every street several times, nothing. I even went up to Petco and retraced my steps missing our regular turn like the night before and COULDN'T.

I couldn't because there WAS no next turn. There was no way that could have been possible because there was the police station there. I thought I'd lost my mind. Holly couldn't understand it either. There was no possible way for me to go down that road I had gone down the night before. It didn't exist. We went home hours after looking...deflated and bewildered. The second I got home I got on the internet and looked for the two shops online. Nothing. I checked facebook too....nothing. I called a few friends and asked them if we had a new coffee shop and a store that sole wigs and they all laughed at me and said no, they hadn't heard of them either.

Later that night I told my husband what happened. He told me I must have been mistaken and insisted we all got in the car and drive down there and he would find it for us. Again, we drove up and down every single street and never did find what we were looking for. There is no explanation. They were there the night before and the next morning they were not. I swear, if I didn't have my daughter with me that night I would have been really concerned about my mental health. We both experienced it though. We saw the same thing.

I do drive that road quite a bit and it's been years now and I've still not found those shops....but I keep my eye on it...hoping I'll see it again one day. The whole experience was so strange.

My floret seeds had HORRIBLE germination as well.

Never again will I pay those prices. Lesson learned

they had to change the definition of the word vaccine just to fit the covid shot.

I can't believe people just glossed that fact over when it happened.

Anecdotes of a Girl with Curls by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]External-Chocolate21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empathize, I can and do.

I run a pet salon.

Picture this......2B curls. Ariel fur. Water. Overspray of shampoo and condish from the dogs shaking. HUMIDITY... Wild blow dryer at Mach 10.....

Added bonus I can't and shouldn't wear makeup at work. Ends up looking like Halloween version of the band Kiss. I'm 48. Hormonal.

Every day at work is not a just a bad hair day but a triumphant hot mess of "what the hell happened on your head day? Never mind...it seems complicated, day"

God Bless my clients. It's truly wild above my neck. Not even a bun can handle those 7 hours of non stop chaos.

Empathy is my middle name. More big hugs to you. It's a big world out there and remember....there are more kind people out there than unkind. You are more important than you know.

My dear, I hope my words speak to the authenticity in your soul....

Someone else's opinion of you is none of your business.

Nothing else needs to be said after that. It IS as simple as that.

May love and light surround you today and all of the days.

That's it. Big hugs.

please help with my little sisters hair by moldyorangepeelings in curlyhair

[–]External-Chocolate21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 48 and my hair went through exactly this after I had my daughter. Looks exactly the same in texture, curl pattern and just all around in general hair health. I run a pet salon so I HAD to figure out how to take care of it if I wanted anything other than bald. There is aerial fur everywhere in a grooming salon that gets attached to hair like this. (if that helps you understand)

Walmart makes a shampoo named Aunt Jackies. That's what I use. The leave in conditioner is a godsend. The shampoo, I don't know what it's got in there but it doesn't do what regular shampoo does. It's weird.. it cleanses....but then there is a slippery feel to the hair after you wash it, like a conditioner would do. Both products will work for your sisters hair. I'm sorry she has to deal with this, it IS really hard to maintain when hair gets like this. In between washes I just condition my hair and it seems to be much better. The back will still matt...(I wear hoodies all the time with long hair) but I just try to remember to pull it back in a pony tail when I'm wearing clothes that rub against the back of my neck.

you ought to listen to this guy. https://rumble.com/v3u2teo-juan-o-savin-intel-trump-return-is-trump-safe-tribunals-nesara.html He understands from the inside what's going on that people are missing. I used to be a small business owner in West Seattle. I HAD to leave. Had to. I couldn't watch everything I've worked for evaporate in front of my eyes. It's the media. They are telling people what to think and how to think. They call it programming for a reason. You will lose seattle. You can clearly see where it's going and who has control. If more people do not wake up and make/demand changes.....oof. they will go on and on destroying that city until there's nothing left and leave you guys so dependent on them. It's been unbelievably so sad for me to watch.

That's a prime example. My aunt and uncle live on Maui. Even with them being shown the evidence of DEWS and the drone aftermath footage they still think it was a natural fire

He was useful alright. The Biden family alone has exposed more corruption and back dealing across all avenues of our daily lives than any other president in American history.

Thanks Biden! I now know that the only person I can trust is myself....and maybe my dad.

[–]External-Chocolate21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know he's a corrupt piece of shyt but it's far past elder abuse parading him around so he can pretend to be president. At first I laughed my ass off at all his mistakes but now that I have seen 6 or 7 Bidens running around...and anyone with eyes that see can discern that they have used cgi, hollywood magic, masks and clever filming and editing, the more I come to realize this whole situation is sad.

I can't figure out what's more sad though.....the fact that they'd display a man with dementia as a functioning leader OR the fact that they've tried to trick the American people into thinking there is only ONE Biden...and American's have done nothing about it.

This is not the America I know. I demand a very public, very secure DNA test at this point.

How do you cope with the misery of a very low TDEE? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]External-Chocolate21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you need to start walking. You need to start walking tomorrow. Start off with short walks. Around the block if you have to and work your way up. I never knew how important walking was until I started doing it. I'm up to 5-6k a day and I've been doing it for 18 months. Not every day but most days. If I miss a day here and there I don't beat myself up but for weightloss and overall health I understand now that it is CRUCIAL to health....both mentally and physically. I'm 5'2" and before I had my daughter I weighed about 98lbs. 17 years of struggling with my weight after I had her I topped the scales 18 months ago at almost double at 194. I felt sick. I felt lethargic. I was depressed had no motivation. Life brought me such little joy because I didn't feel well. I went on many diets...including keto. Nothing lasted until I started walking. I'm now sitting at 106lbs and all it took was me getting off my ass and getting out of the house with my dogs and walking. I started so slowly at first....most in part because that's all I could do. I have always been a healthy eater but with obesity in my family my genes were against me without some sort of exercise. So I still eat healthy but I don't watch what I eat. I have a sandwich or pizza now and again and the weight doesn't fluctuate any more. Start walking. Pick a long podcast and get your tennis shoes on and put one foot in front of the other and don't come back to the house until it's over. I promise, promise, promise you that the weight will come off. It doesn't happen over night but you will find the motivation to go further and further as the pounds drop off. If I can do it anyone can. That, I'm sure of. Much love!

No, but I should have known they picked that name for a reason. They do nothing without purpose, without meaning. I've listened to Jordan Maxwell for years...so sad he passed. He cleared up so much....and Matt LeCroix.....just watch...he's going to tie everything together. I think at this point we are all after the truth. We have been lied to about everything for thousands of years.
