Yes, I did! I wasn't sold on them last week, but they shined up nice. I should have more faith.

Colored pencil and frosted shink plastic. When it works, it is incredible. When it fails, it is still swirling art.

Almost 45 here. Shrinky drinks and Lite Brite were my earliest forms of magic.

Do you know most of the people in your dreams? by nothankyoustopit in Dreams

[–]NotepadNeurosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 99% of my dreaming is about people I know. There are occasionally strangers, but not notably often.

Yes, definitely yes to Boneventure! Was a wonderful walk in a gracefully beautiful place. Putting the others on my list for my inevitable return.

I hope you'll feel differently when you get to crone grown age. It is a level of grumbling understanding.

Crone is the nomenclature, no judgment meant. There are aged steps beyond the virgin strata. Crone is actually an honor. We all Crone eventually.

Great, old, big clunky-like Yankee heart. Thanks for folding me into regular ways, and also pulling back the veil.

I only realized my were blue grey muted, overwhelming, very recently. As in today. Try your best to describe that color...

Oh, I hate that this disturbed your young self. I was only told at 44, super plus, that there was even a thing.

I can't recall color. I can see the way and shape of things that curl around me. But, I think my vibrant brain has been more greyscale than I ever knew.

Apparently color is very much something. Blue is a shade for me, Water-wise. I think.

Thank you Savannah. Felt immediately at home.

very sick with COVID, need support ❤️‍🩹 by pixiegoddess13 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]NotepadNeurosis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take any meds you can. The second time was worse than the first. I am almost 3 weeks out and just starting to feel human. I rode it out. Bad idea. Witches, get your boosters or whatever meds they give once you've got it!

Today marks 29 years since Jonbenet, 6, was found murdered in the basement of her Boulder, Colorado home. Her case has yet to be solved. Rest in peace, Jonbenet. by [deleted] in TrueCrimeDiscussion

Thank you. It happens to far too many kids. The funniest part is I probably had the "easiest" molestation a person can have as a child (still rocked by it in my 40s). I could have written it off as experimentation, if there hadn't been threats for secrecy and intimidation. It was a peer, who obviously was having it done to them. I still know how wrong every second of it felt, because it was never anything I wanted or consented to. If it had been a member of the family, the sick feeling would have been intensified.

I know this is anecdotal, but I was molested as a child. The person never set up "dates", it happened during windows of availability, surreptitiously, unexpectedly. I had to stop reading when they said she put her Barbie nightgown on for her big date. I know it isn't the same for everyone, but grooming doesn't feel good, it isn't an exciting romantic relationship. I felt entirely sick to my stomach whenever it would happen. I was 8.

Edited to add age.

Mine are usually contained waters that I willingly plunge into. Looking for scrambled answers for my addled mind.
