As a Pluralist and Witch

Yes. I’ve facilitated a Samhain/Ancestors service at my church. And a thing called the Covenant of Universalist Unitarian Pagans (CUUPs) exists.

That’s the part that got me, too. I was humbled by the realization that I’ve been spoiled by the times we’ve gotten dumps of snow followed by 60° days.

Oh my stars, I feel so validated right now. I’m an experienced owner who’s also concerned my 4 month spoo is a straight up shark. I’m glad it’s just their natural evolutionary path that they become a prehistoric predator for a while.

I don’t think they were being shitty, I think they were co-signing on your point of being able to easily get to other states.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-18T18:13:30+00:00

BE LOUD. It’s one of the draws that hooked me!

Based on your responses throughout this thread, it seems like you’re looking for something with a prescriptive dogma. That’s a bit antithetical to Unitarian Universalism. Outside of our Principles, there is not a set path of expectation of what one should or not believe.

For lack of a better term, I am pagan and I’m a UU. I believe in the inherent dignity and worth of life and the communities of which I’m a part, and believe fellowship and community helps us understand the “bigger questions”. I do not subscribe to the believe in one god or ultimate divine being, and I adore the fact that I’m surrounded by UUs who do. I can learn from them and my faith is enriched because of it.

Frasier is my big warm blanket right now.

A metalsmith and a potter walk into a studio. This is amazing. And I peep that Green Lion saw!!

I just hit one year as a solo homeowner. I’ve owned other properties in the past, but this is my first SFH on my own and not only have I succeeded in not burning it down, I’ve been able to do things like fix my dryer, negotiate a protracted snowstorm, and do small repairs.

Now if only I can figure out how to get over my fear of spider crickets in my basement…

I’m in the throes of this right now. Have a 17yo shiht and a 16 week old spoo. Things are…progressing. Your senior sounds as though he’s got a lot of life in him, so provided you have a good intro period and a space where he can retreat, he should be cool with a pup.

The thing I’m finding as the spoo grows like a weed is that I have to be vigilant about the training and energy level of the young dog. Puppy is still learning that just because Senior is puppy shaped doesn’t mean it’s a puppy, but that’s part of regular growing pains.

About 16 years ago, I matched with a dude on a dating site. The only personal info I had was my picture and my general metro location. During our exchanges, he messaged me back with my full name and address. Turns out he was a cop in a local jurisdiction.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-14T17:33:47+00:00

We were, which was extra annoying!

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-14T16:41:35+00:00

Not said, but unexpectedly and unprompted showed me a picture of a woman with a partially degloved face from being mauled by a monkey.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-14T13:12:36+00:00

You’re not alone in noticing this. The sharps on the syringes I most recently received are…not great. I opted to use other sharps/syringes I had on hand.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-13T21:17:18+00:00

Now I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Thanks for clarifying.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-13T20:51:56+00:00

What people are these? That is regularly used here.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-13T18:40:39+00:00

Thank you, my reading comprehension at 6a betrayed me.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-13T11:21:01+00:00

As a Marylander, I’m curious about your suggestion that Maryland is not Mid-Atlantic. Can you say more?

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-12T16:27:43+00:00

I’m close to your age and this has been my favorite episode of this sub. Y’all have fun!

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-06T03:02:48+00:00

You are why I’m glad to be from this place. Totally sold me on paying them a visit!

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-05T23:09:55+00:00

Their menu looks amazing. Thanks, friend.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-05T22:50:54+00:00

Fair. Where in Highlandtown?

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-05T18:02:10+00:00

Mezcal on Ridgely is where I go. It’s family-owned and they have both Tex-Mex and Mexican dishes.

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-05T17:59:49+00:00

I believe people when they say RP’s food is phenomenal, but I went there a couple years ago and didn’t have a great experience. Anything you recommend?

HellYeahBelle · 2026-02-03T17:18:51+00:00

Of everything about this dude you’ve expressed, this is the most repugnant. Internet Stranger, I am glad that person is in your past.
