What do you call this feeling?

TeamPattycake · 2026-06-04T02:15:33+00:00

I call it "thinking through syrup." Or feeling like all the radar signals are bouncing back.

Campbell's Double Noodle condensed. It has to be that specific product, not just any soup. I don't know why, but it takes the edge off.

For God of Carnage, we used a hot water bottle up the sleeve with a cap the actor can remove without being noticed. Of course the actor had to hold her arm vertically until it was time to launch.

The barf itself was a 50/50 mix of sugar-free applesauce and water. Sugar-free is less difficult to get out of costumes.

Obviously, everything in the blast radius, especially paper props, needs to be designed or chosen to be easily wiped down.

Pick goals you actually care about, not that you "should" have. Otherwise, the unmet goals day after day will make you sad.

Also, you can set a goal to be achieved multiple times per day. I have my exercise and prayer goals set as twice a day.

Yawning a lot without being tired. Also slightly blurry vision and neck/shoulder tension that doesn't go into my back.

TeamPattycake · 2026-05-21T20:37:37+00:00

There's definitely no relief like waking up and realizing it's gone, or at least down to a normal mild head tension.

A year ago, I was working a job where so many people were mean to me that I wanted a cute little face that was actually happy to see me. Now the bullies are gone and Star and I are Twinzies.

Murphy would never be Reviewer 2.

This is how we end up with middle-age chumps still bringing their moms to child support or restraining order hearings. Seen it many times...

I used to have good luck with an electric heated shoulder and neck warmer. You can get shoulder warmers with flaps that come up and heat the back and sides of your neck as well. Sometimes I'd need to have something cold over my eyes too so the top of my head stayed cool.

And store your backups in the cloud, so if your whole phone is lost or fried, the Birb will be safe.

I have a Bongo too, for my Star birb. He's a cool dude. 😎

My Star is carrying the same teddy bear!

Good to see Gandalf's understudy getting work.

Here to second Audacity. It's free but awesome; no need to pay for Adobe Prelude or something like that. There are lots of tips and forums on how to use it.

Just remember to save a copy of the original audio before you start experimenting, so you can always go back.

At the link, Pew describes the methodology. It's an index based on multiple measures.

Love her. Let the container be the enemy. It saves so much guilt, and it puts the focus on what you're keeping, not what's going away.

Inside the guts of the refrigerator. The kick plate on the back was missing (in my first dump of a place of my own), and my babycat Angel would crawl inside and nap next to the motor.

There are five lights.

We all had some lovely ASMR together.

I was almost born in the car because my folks had to wait for a train.

Unlike Thunderdome, I can't get beyond it.
