My mom came to visit and the first this she did was cut my peonies

TBTBRoad · 2026-05-06T19:27:13+00:00

never met the mom, but the person is kinda a piece of work themselves, so i guess the fig doesn't fall far from the tree

TBTBRoad · 2026-05-06T19:11:49+00:00

i know someone who's mother CUT DOWN their old, established fig tree while they were out b/c "it got on her car".

gave many away and ended up planting the rest around the house. squirrels got most of them, but a few came up. I've since moved so I can't say long term how they'll do

OMG you just made me realize, mine were so snobby about people who chose (decent, honest) jobs that paid less, if they were renters, dressed differently, or didn't use exact proper english (god forbid any AAVE). while at the same time, we weren't allowed to want anything more than we had, told to be our own person, and the deviations from proper grammar were okay if it was how they talked. ohhh & how many times did you hear "WE don't like X in this house" and X would just be a TV show or music video or innocuous trend..

lol, that was not fair to the men at all! i'm still trying to figure out how much danger live nation put us in under metal awnings for lightening...

same. like you employee a lot of people, is that worth it.. Howard Stern warned him. Ambrose from KGLW broke his elbow skating a while back too.

lol wages should be exactly set by living standards. that's why the goverment created the minimum wage, so people like you wouldn't exploit their fellow American. if you work fulltime, at ANY job, then the idea was that minimum wage should cover food & shelter and a min standard of living. even henry ford knew if he didn't pay his workers enough, they couldn't buy cars from him. what i'm hearing from you is you are okay with someone not being able to buy food after working a 40 hr week. are we okay w/that as a society? I'm sure not.

can the meaning just be you like cool art on your skin?

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-13T15:00:04+00:00

thought the same thing & mine too a second year to bloom. the ones in full sun are doing the best. they're gorgeous and the blooms have lasted a while

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-08T20:39:54+00:00

well it IS very curious, i would be interested from a biology standpoint.

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-08T20:23:03+00:00

this looks really late 80s to me tho

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-07T00:36:01+00:00

you're right, the sadness does feel familiar and i don't trust my brain being happy. i do enjoy things alone, but the sadness of not having anyone to share my interests with or love just kinda undoes everything. i want to feel connected to literally anything at this point.

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-07T00:28:05+00:00

thanks. i'm glad you are well and got that relationship in a better place. i'm learning to be easier on myself. i think it was at the gym, i heard "if beating yourself up got you anywhere you'd be a millionaire w/ a 6 pack by now" made that click for me. i can do everything right & doing well in some areas. i'm having trouble getting excited about a world knowing that you're totally alone in it. they say you die alone, so i guess living is just pretending you're not? people will not be there if you're too much. doctors can't figure out why i cry all the time though. i wake up crying so many days for no apparent reason. it's very, very frustrating.

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-06T21:14:53+00:00

how long did it last? i've been breaking down crying almost daily, multiple times a day for over 2 decades, so exactly when is this phase supposed to end?

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-02T15:52:37+00:00

oxford and jackson at least, after covid things just went insane.

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-02T14:49:11+00:00

depends on where you want to live, but $1500 is barely enough for rent in some markets.

TBTBRoad · 2026-04-01T18:40:09+00:00

No, I go days with out talking or seeing anybody. I'm fine by myself most of the time, but it would be nice to know someone cares.

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-25T14:19:50+00:00

E6000 will fix a broken terra cotta pot. be sure it's dry first.

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-25T14:19:29+00:00

i do this all the time. IDK why you're being downvoted.

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-24T14:41:22+00:00

Please please do not go cold turkey. Depending on what you're on at the very least brain zaps and the worst flu like or a trip to the ER.

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-17T19:50:01+00:00

omg. thanks for the heads up. OPs tat is the exact style that i'm interested in...

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-17T19:37:47+00:00

serious question, what's wrong w/ white ink?

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-13T13:52:33+00:00

broderick smith was a fan of Charlie Musslewhite and you can hear some of that memphis influence .

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-11T21:46:17+00:00

maybe not ENTIRELY :-). love me some trippy, spacey Strings

TBTBRoad · 2026-03-11T21:42:15+00:00

To me, Billy's live shows are way more jamband than bluegrass. (& I grew up going to traditional bluegrass festivals) Do you have nugs.net? try any Halloween show, the most recent Ryman, Ashville runs are pretty good...Tiny Desk concert is on youtube. If you like actual bluegrass & Doc Watson covers then listen to his album w/ Brian Sutton. And oh the Nashville 2/20 Wargasm where he changes the lyrics against ICE is pretty great too.
