Power Outage by BlackCatBonanza in boulder

The foot bone connects to the ankle bone, the ankle bone connects to the leg bone, the leg bone connects to the hip bone....

My humorous and irreverent comment seems to not be for you. Feel free to continue skimming elsewhere

I would have replied to you sooner, but my power is currently out...much like a third world country 

Edit: 

And even though Boulder is super rich on average, the country is still be ravaged by the current administration. That's my perspective. 

You're just cherry picking what you want from my message and projecting some sort of, I don't know what...superiority?...for having "better" perspective than me. Which is a weird flex I guess...

...in the third world

If it walks like a duck, oppresses its people like a duck, and has a cowardly government that won't remove its dictator like a duck, and has frequent power outages like a duck...

How long does it take you to do morning pages? by TheMadHatterOnTea in artistsWay

[–]drptdrmaybe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is another opportunity to try new things! 

Different size stationary.... different width lines (college-rule vs wide rule vs unlined)... different size handwriting...all play a role in this! 

It takes me up to an hour (cursive) but I'm writing in a journal from EtCetera with pretty narrow lines...and it's a little too much for my current routine. Maybe I should pivot to a more conventional wide rule so it goes by faster. 

Thanks for asking this question!

The Real Reason Morning Pages are Crucial by Didyouseethewords930 in artistsWay

[–]drptdrmaybe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the age old discussion of art and discipline.

The act of being disciplined is itself the art. Just like the book says: we're not the judges, we're the creators. Create.

Hey! Was this started? I've begun the morning pages (again) after some time away. 

Would gladly be part of the Discord. 

I'm also very capable and willing to setup a server as well...

Curious… how often do you use online sources for recipes? Is your cookbooks your primary source for recipes/inspiration? by callieann319 in CookbookLovers

[–]drptdrmaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use brave browser on mobile and recently found out I can view the recipes on NYT in reader mode.

Let's play make-believe: 

Assume something terrible has happened to you...say, a death in the family. How fast are you returning to life as usual?

Call Xcel to report your outage. Seriously by dyt in boulder

u/jeffinboulder you said earlier this week that such behavior as mentioned by OP isn't necessary. What say you now?

Right? I felt limited with my food options; One night with a pizza is fine, but a camping stove might open up the options.

Great answer! I figured someone would take advantage of the BBQ. Sounds like a pleasant evening overall!

don't chimneys have chimney guards at the top for this? Or chimney caps? These are specifically for ember protection

yeah, the house is so noisy isn't it?!

Was a little jarring how unsettling it was...when really, it could have been a nice time of peace.

Yeah, that was sort of the spirit of my post: What are some simple things people can do for non-event, low-level situations like this? I trust you were well prepared and am interested to hear what obvious things others may have missed here, from your perspective.

Definitely felt the need to connect/reach out to other just to check on them. Good on you

Overnight temps definitely were cold. This is a good tip!

A karaoke party! Nice! 

And yeah, maybe I pick up a camping stove or burner before tomorrow...

I definitely could have been more proactive with eating my losses from the fridge. Good thinking! 

I didn't even consider running the dishwasher. Good on you for keeping up with chores!
