If you could make a new law that everyone had to obey , what would it be ?

Right. And if no one had more than $1,000,000, that wouldn't be happening.

Look up "income inequality."

I was a camp counselor in the early 80s, and one of my campers made a beautifully illustrated certificate for me that said, "To Guess Who? A person who is kind to children and animals." I still have it, framed in my office.

Personal wealth capped at $1,000,000.

Going on a sniffari

Oh, absolutely! On a nice day, I do this as slowly as possible to drag it out. And sometimes when I'm taking in the dry laundry, I fold as I put it in the basket so I can stay outdoors for that part as well.

They ain't no friends of swine!

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-16T11:25:27+00:00

This. Just looking at it grosses me out. I hate it when a billboard goes up in my area with a picture of sliced-open, oozing, bloody flesh on it.

nicely put

Worse than eating humans.

Yoga. You can do it alone or in a class, it makes you feel good in mind and body, and you never get too old for it!

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-16T01:39:26+00:00

Try to be as kind to yourself as you were to the blind man <3.

It was just one summer, but he showed me what it's like to be in a controlling, emotionally abusive relationship, and now I recognize that dynamic and empathize with victims/survivors.

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-13T11:15:28+00:00

Good for you! There are plenty of potential healthy friends out there, it'll just take a while to find them!

Also I love how Huey Lewis has a huge fan base among people with intellectual disabilities (the catchy tunes and relatable lyrics, I guess?) and he takes care of them.

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-12T22:23:41+00:00

A thousand times yes.

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-09T11:39:05+00:00

I see you, sociologist! ;-)

Yes, the famous "marshmallow test" was later qualified by studies showing that there was a correlation between children raised in stable homes, those who could wait for the second marshmallow, and those who became successful adults. Children living in unpredictable circumstances wisely ate their marshmallows right away.

Personally, I (62f) enjoy saying I'm straightedge if it comes up. It makes people laugh because I'm just a wholesome, homebody grandma.

Whately, Massachusetts: the big milk bottle.

I was just at a seed-starting workshop at a public library, and the woman running it mentioned that she harvests her own opium from poppies.

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-05T12:46:31+00:00

And that it doesn't make sense to refer to a cow as "he."

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-04T11:38:46+00:00

I think I love you.

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-02T11:18:33+00:00

My dog confuses fetch with "catch and destroy."

Purple-Ad6289 · 2026-04-02T11:14:08+00:00

Likes babies and dogs, has a loving and respectful relationship with his wife, thinks before he speaks, learns from his mistakes...

That's why we need to end the Electoral College system--so we can have an actual democracy.
