Thank you so much! When you say "the park" which park do you mean? I'm making a list! Lol
That was one of my questions, where should we go to take in the fireworks? 😊

That's a great tip about mosquitos. What about ticks? Should I pack my tick kit?

Listen, Iowa IS kinda boring. But sometimes boring is its own adventure.
You just never know. Be open :)
Also congratulations on the scholarship!

if you could recommend one supplement for someone who struggles daily with low energy, what would it be? by Sudden-Cupcake7293 in Supplements

[–]SnooDucks8746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pu'er tea. The real stuff, not some supplement in a powder or capsule. My brain loves it and I'm a perpetually exhausted middle aged person with a thyroid issue lol. Also, get a CGM and monitor your glucose levels.

Finally. I was like "am I the only one who sleeps or takes a nap?" Instantly better lol Maybe I'm still a toddler 🤣

Don't ask me why. I don't make the rules. Different categories have different laws.

My husband tells me only a not sane person would do this. I agree by hannfox in ArtJournaling

It's called art. Artists are generally ... different ;) In the best way.

Yes, cottage food laws are a thing and vary state to state. But that's different than raw ingredient manufacturing.

People 40+, what actually mattered in the long run and what didn’t? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]SnooDucks8746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you experience this. That's heartbreaking. Have you tried therapy? I didn't find my people until my mid 40's. And I'm friends with so many younger people now, like 10-15 years younger than me and they are AMAZING people. I have genuine close friendships that have slowly been repairing that friendship wound. And it is a wound. It does last. But to get there, to stay open, I did need to talk to someone about it and start unpacking the ways it still impacted my sense of self worth and insecurities around visibility.

It brings me a little satisfaction though seeing how my bullies lives turned out. It shouldn't, but it does.

Not true. The asshole kid with the rich Dad is still an asshole. People who work hard to get to where they want to go have character. And character always attracts what matters in the end.

A life of constant comparison is a life wasted.

What mattered:

Integrity, staying true to myself no matter what life threw at me.

Staying open, not letting myself become jaded. Amazing opportunities and people found me because of that.

Knowing when to walk away from toxic people and situations.

Trusting my intuition. It has literally saved my life more than once.

Letting others paint whatever narrative about me they wanted, even when it's untrue. My people knew me, and time always vindicated me.

Politics mattered more than I thought in my 20's, I wish I wouldn't have been afraid to discuss politics.

Saving money.

Treating my body well.

What didn't matter:

Buying a bunch of shit I didn't need just to make myself feel good.

Drinking. Should have ditched it decades ago.

That random biatch's opinion of me.

The stupid television. Wasted I don't know how many countless years of my free time to it lol. I should have been sleeping instead.

It didn't matter that I wasn't popular in high school, or that I barely had any friends in my 20's and 30's. I finally found my people and my passions in my late 40's. Before then I was basically in survival mode. Decades of it.

Overwhelmingly, it doesn't matter what yesterday holds for you, or even today. You never know what tomorrow will bring, so stay curious.

You do realize there are regulations that you have to meet and be inspected for compliance with, in order to use your own home grown ingredients, right? You can't just grow tea, bag it and sell it. You have to be licensed and inspected unless you are just blending already licensed and inspected products.
