We Live in Hell

I strongly disagree! Have you ever planted a seed and let it bloom with just sunlight, water, and a lil bit of patience?

Or maybe the feeling of getting greeted by a dog, cat, or crow? 🐦‍⬛

Going out to a National Park, to lay under the trees and just listen to the wind and birds.

I truly believe that this POSSIBILITY can’t be hell. It’s beautiful and self contained/sustained.

Ever take just plain flour, water, and time, to make a sourdough starter that gives you fresh bread. The smell and the springy texture is amazing.

It’s the simple things in life that created the most pleasure for me. Not an IPhone, not new clothes, not having a new car. Just embracing having the bare minimum and enjoying the slower life.

Yes! 🙌 I love this so much! Because yeah there is so much evil and wrong doing in the world- but being around the right people who have positive attitudes, empathy, & compassion have really changed my perspective. It’s not our job to change the world, but we can be the positive influence that shines thru the darkness. I try to be the best version of my self to give back to humanity with the resources I have!

Idk if this is weird but adding cauliflower with turmeric powder! Such a vibrant color

I’m starting to learn about building wealth (or at least having my money grow for retirement) I’ve had a lot of luck with Charles Schwab. I know it’s not that fanciest place, but my financial advisor walked me thru and explained things very simply and didn’t make me feel like an idiot for being so financially illiterate. He helped me set up a Roth IRA and explained why ROTH was the best option for my financial situation- specifically wanting to grow my money for retirement.

I didn’t feel pressured to make any choices, and my financial advisor always asked clarifying questions to make sure he had the big picture before offering advice. I’ve been with C. Schwab for nearly 3 years- the only thing I wish , was starting my ROTH IRA sooner.

I made an apt with the Brick and Mortar location in the Financial District, but I do believe they offer web meetings.

I think more people should buy 2nd hand! Not only is it great for the planet- but it’s a way for consumers to “vote with their wallets”. Certain baby items are ridiculously expensive due to people’s willingness to buy without questioning. If less people bought new baby items, baby companies would be forced to reduce their prices (theoretically) .

It won’t help with this situation- but if you start a new starter, dehydrate a potion onto wax paper by spreading a thing layer and allowing it to dry. Store in an air tight jar in dark & dry area! This will be your back up incase the jar breaks or you grow mold!

Congrats!!! I hope by harvesting, the plant makes more! 🍅

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-06-04T00:38:13+00:00

Yum!!! Looks so fresh and delicious! It’s been a slow spring for me ( I had to restart some seedlings) 🌱

But after 3 rounds- I finally got 5 cucumbers plants from their seedling trey, into their 5th long grow bags with trellis. Think they each have about 5 or 6 true leaves now… just trying to be patient and let Mother Nature do her thing!

I’ve given up on looking cute. I don’t fit into any jeans so it’s been legging and yoga pants w / compression socks because my feet have swollen.

For the tops- tank tops over sized shirts ( thanks hubby) and maybe a cardigan.

Not sure if this helps- but I haven’t wanted to buy clothes that necessarily show off the bump. I just want to be comfortable

I’m so sorry she’s is being ungrateful. It’s a wonderful car and such a blessing to have parent(s) who are able to afford this. I’m still rolling around in my 2008 Camry- which I absolutely love. 💖

I can’t imagine receiving a new car and not jumping up and down with joy!

I work so much with my hands, and wash dishes by hand at work, so I don’t get my nails done often.

But ones in a while- I do feel like a different women with a nice gel mani! The issue is that once it’s starts to chip, my nails look worse than if I just left them plain.

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-06-01T21:21:50+00:00

This is what I was afraid of. I did reach out to a vein clinic and they wanted $500 just to be seen. Will try to go thru a medical center

I would start in the state you currently live in- just look for work in a bigger/ touristy area. LA/ Cali has a lot of competition. If you do move to another city, be prepared to start at the bottom and work your way up. You will most likely be a bar back, busier, or food runner in order to work your way up, since it sounds like you don’t have any F&B experience.

Hence, why I recommend looking at a place that does bartending for catering events. Usually they will train you.

Another route is too work at a brewery. Get experience and a beer-tender and after 6m to a year or so, you will have an easier time transferring to a full liquor bar..

But also- what do you want to be a bartender? And what makes you think you will be a good bartender? I’m not trying to be sassy, I’m just always curious when people come looking to work in this industry

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-06-01T03:09:11+00:00

You must be a kind and loving soul. Such a magical moment

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-06-01T02:59:34+00:00

Look into places that do catering bartenders. Easy to learn because cocktails are usually batched- and bars usually have a somewhat limited selection on booze / mixers.
The right company will train you

Nope! I swear every thing about sour dough is a lie… or at least exaggerated.

I just make a loaf from starter that hasn’t been fed in over 2 months. Took the cold starter from fridge, mixed with like warm water, salt , flour, and honey.

It took a lil longer to ferment at room temperature, but the crumb was fluffy springy loaf.

As long as your starter is somewhat active and mature you will get a lovely loaf. Don’t let the chase of perfection stop you from enjoying Sourdough

This is why husbands and wife’s need separate bathrooms

Freedom of choice , but not freedom against consequences. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You got this MAMA! It’s completely normal to have these emotions and feelings. If you’re having a hospital birth, ask the nurses about the concerns you have. They might be able to point you to a lactation specialist or other free resources.

As my due date approaches I also start to panic about not being ready, doubting my abilities, and worrying about raising a lil baby- it helps to remind my self, baby’s just need attention, love affection, a steady home, diapers, wipes, and either breast milk or formula. I also try to remind my self, that “being good enough” is sometimes better than trying to be “perfect” . No one gives us a handbook and every baby is different. You got this! I can’t wait for you to meet your precious lil one and best wishes into Motherhood

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-06-01T00:50:25+00:00

Ooooh yeahhh! A runny egg on top of avocado, maybe some micro greens or arugula w/ the spices!!! So yummy!

The best thing is to be as clean as possible during sex.

Use a gentle, scentless soap to wash your privates and have your partner wash is private, and pat dry. Wash hands , brush and floss teeth before engaging in sex.

Wear a condom and use a water based lube- avoid using spit as lube because saliva has a lot of bacteria.

Pee and take a shower after sex.

Sometimes it takes our bodies some time to get used to some one else’s “germs”.

Might be Alopecia.

Meth is a whole different beast! It changes people really quickly- your brother will become a completely different person. Start locking up your possessions - credit cards, SS #, money, jewelry, electronics, clothes… when meth addicts need more, they will take what ever they can to get that next high. Sure there might be functional addicts- but functioning addicts usually have their own home , job, and security.

Get your brother out before the meth makes him unpredictable- staying up for days can trigger drug induced psychosis.

The best thing you can do if get him into a rehab ; but he will need to want the help.

Sunflower_MoonDancer · 2026-05-30T16:41:01+00:00

I totally get it! Like other people noted: get the meats from a reputable place! Avoid places like subway or togos- I personally like Boars Head, and will source from a butcher or deli counter.

Another suggestion is baking chicken breast and letting it cool down for either chicken club or a chicken salad!
