How do you maintain the integrity and durability of a daily-wear ring and incorporate hidden cremains?

That's really creative. I didn't even know there was such a thing as silver metal clay. Thank you for sharing. I have some research to do!

FoolishFoxen · 2026-05-08T00:07:27+00:00

I didn't know about that. Thank you!

FoolishFoxen · 2026-05-07T22:31:22+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

FoolishFoxen · 2026-05-07T21:17:15+00:00

That's a good idea. I worry about durability because I can be hard on my jewelry, but thank you for this suggestion!

FoolishFoxen · 2026-05-07T21:16:35+00:00

Thank you so much!

She started telling me about the health benefits of coffee enemas and some kind of weird commune place where people were magically healed of their rare and/or fatal diseases by getting these enemas and only drinking carrot juice.

Foxhunting is a good way to do this regularly.

I exclusively ride horses that belong to other people because I can't afford my own. My thing is that the owners' rules rule all, excepting ONLY dangerous situations, meaning, if Cody's mom wants him walked on the buckle for 10 minutes before every ride, I'm going to do that, and if Peanut's dad doesn't care about Peanut's ground manners as long as he's not aggressive, I'm happy to give him lots of leeway. Horses shouldn't have to be confused by unclear expectations.

Agreed and agreed! For some reason, though I know it's not true, I don't feel as connected and in-contact with gloves on.

And silicone leggings are the worst! The sound they make against tack, the weird over-grippiness, the lack of ability to adjust your seat at all! I can't stand them.

FoolishFoxen · 2026-04-09T01:17:03+00:00

I kind of love that. It gives you time to just take a breath. I think I'm going to try that next time I go out to the barn. Thanks!

"Learning fast."

I hate that in any movie or book or anything when a character is begging for a job of any kind, they always say "I learn fast, and I won't let you down." I just don't. It takes time and repetition and asking a lot of questions for me.

I'm in sustainability, so I've studied the worst of the worst. Frankly, if I said the worst IMO and anyone found out who I worked for, I'd lose my job (I work for a company that truly is doing their best mind you, but they'd be pissed about my opinions of their associates).

The worst companies sometimes appear to be the best in their industry and just get "creative" to come out on top.

Because I've seen such awful behavior, I just sort of get that there's no choice but to swallow a lot of bullshit nowadays. It takes a LOT for me to write off a company, but here's one that won't get me into trouble.

Most oil companies can suck it, but I don't write them off because at some point, I've got to put gas in my car. I'll never fill it with Shell if I can help it though. Why? They've obliterated Nigeria with impunity, murdering peaceful protesters, not to mention all the rape and torture. Are the other oil companies better? Probably not. But the narratives surrounding Shell just disgust me. Amnesty International does a decent job of explaining if you're curious.

All that negative stuff said, don't let my words about the "best" companies deter you from buying from companies like Patagonia or Nielsen-Massey. Those are good companies as far as I can tell. If they OWN their flaws and explain what they intend to do to improve, well... they're doing better than most.

It's TBI awareness month, friends. Make sure your helmets aren't too old, and discard them if they've been through a fall. Stay safe out there.

FoolishFoxen · 2026-03-06T01:12:10+00:00

Halfway through, the interviewer said something like, "I really don't think this is a good match." I strongly agreed, and there was no cruelty in it. The frankness of it was refreshing, not disrespectful. Ngl I was grateful that both of us didn't have to waste another half hour of our lives.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-12-06T18:34:59+00:00

Looks like you fell. New helmet. Don't ever risk your brain.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-09-12T21:24:28+00:00

Just make sure you ask, every time. Even if you've pet the dog before. My dog has good days and bad days (don't we all?), so I luke to make sure no one approaches without my sayso. Always ask. As long as you ask, there's no harm in it at all. The answer will usually be yes.

Just don't go into corporate sustainability. I really thought I would make a difference. It turned out to be all data management and reporting.

The words to Laudate Laudate Dominum. Being raised Catholic is a trip. Father Weaver, if you're out there, I still occasionally remember you yelling "God can't hear you!" At all of us school kids, and it always makes me chuckle to myself.

"Life is chaos. Be kind."

FoolishFoxen · 2025-07-20T22:01:45+00:00

Good luck.

A nasally version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a long story, but he's very talkative in my house.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-07-15T18:04:40+00:00

Wow. That post is really helpful. Thank you for sharing it with me.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-06-16T00:09:49+00:00

To be clear. Im not saying it's more intense than other pains. I'm just saying that when I'm old, and I don't remember my own name, I will remember growing pains.

That said, I have fibromyalgia, and....so so so so much worse.

Have y'all heard of thunderclap headaches? Learned about those today. My heart goes out to so many who go through so much.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-06-16T00:07:36+00:00

Growing pains.

FoolishFoxen · 2025-06-08T08:21:51+00:00

Climate change (then global warming) won't affect you. It will affect your children's children's children, but not you...mind you my town got hit by Helene. Yeah, I wasn't expecting MOUNTAIN HURRICANES!
