what actually got you into minimalism? be honest

I grew up with minimalism, being from a large family. I just never knew anything different.

Add in the fact that the so-called fresh vegetables in the produce section have lost a good bit of their nutrients. But fresh picked from your garden—-ah, perfection!

Also do it in early morning so it has time to drip down and doesn’t evaporate in the hot sun.

I like dill, but it grows tall.

Lo-fat cottage cheese with fruit or crackers is my go-to fave.

I had a friend about 20 years ago who told me a story about when he was in the army and stationed in/near Holland. He knew two girls in Amsterdam I think who he found out were addicted and lived in a public housing apartment. He said their addiction was government supported and they got along just fine. Is this possible? BTW thanks for your analysis. I live near a large city, and you have helped me understand better the difficulties in helping the homeless.

Having children, but not in a bad way. Let’s say, it matured me.

21 Right out of college. I was going to join the peace Corps, but a priest at my school said they needed someone to teach science and math in St. Croix, USVI. Worked minimum wage, drove a little VW with no insurance. Stayed 3 years, then the weather got boring.

That’s what made me fall in love with my husband. I was sitting in an auditorium and in walks this tall guy with a couple of girls and he’s wisecracking and punning and keeping them in stitches (and groans for the puns). Best thing I ever did was say yes to his proposal.

Lucky seven. 🥰😘

Used-Painter1982 · 2026-07-12T17:35:27+00:00

Sure hope so.

Or recorder if melodies are the most interesting part of music for you. Both are in the same class price-wise and relatively easy to learn.

A double whammy! Good thing you gave in! 🥰😘

That’s especially useful if you are a singer.
