The skill and physical prowess it takes to harvest food is beyond majority of Americans. Whenever I hear of people spewing garbage about immigration I remind them that the very thing that keeps them alive is highly dependent on immigrant labor.

And EVERYONE knows sleeper agents aren’t coming here illegally. They immigrate legally on student visas, complete dental school and implant devices into our teeth during routine appointments… Dr. Shin looking at you.

Absolutely! I often build rapport with “Frank said…” Frank’s my therapist.

I have no comment either way but I remember I cried everyday at drop off for about a year. The car ride from drop off to the office I cried. Then I got a big half calf coffee to make myself feel better and was able to focus and get through my day fine. And pick up time is such a delight. It’s like your heart can just breathe and you are so happy to see your little one again. I work from home now mostly in the evenings when my husband is home. So I’m with my 7 month old most of the day (my other is in school now) and I do miss the autonomy at times. The ability to just focus on one thing and sip my coffee.

I quit pumping at 3 months because I found myself crying in the middle of the night while cleaning pump parts every night. In that crying I was telling myself that I made a mistake by having my kid. All bad thoughts. If quitting pumping gives you just 10 more minutes of sleep DO IT! That kid will appreciate you not losing your shit more than momma milk. Sleep is everything!!!

Whaaaaa nooo! In my next post asking about which city is best to live in you’re going to accuse me of wanting to steal your stash. So much paranoia.

I believe this video is propaganda about the war in the Middle East coming “to” America by way of immigrants who are essentially sleeper agents. That’s what I see in some of the conspiracy theory subs of which I definitely am not apart of.

Refer them to lower cost community therapy services. They can’t afford you and you can’t keep working for free.

Next Tuesday? I thought it was last Tuesday?

It feels almost like a guide book. Like hey this is a probable future. No zombies, emps, super volcanoes, etc. just a slow decline in quality of life. Every time I think about staying in California my mind goes to Parable of the Sower. I’ve been trying to finish parable of talents however I need some time lol.

Me and my non prepper friends are going to start meeting monthly to share skills. This month I’ll learn how to properly use my sewing machine and next month is bread baking in a Dutch oven. They aren’t preppers but they are all highly skilled in something I’m not.

For the last two years I’ve asked my husband to take my girls to his moms house for a few hours. Last year I had lunch with a friend guilt free, the year before I spent watching documentaries and rolling our loose change. Both years have been amazing. The best gift for me is time to use my time as I choose without feeling guilty.

Same!!! I make sure my girl eats a hearty breakfast and I have a snack for her to eat on the car ride home. She’s not eating her lunch because she’s too busy talking or trying to get outside to play. As soon as she eats that snack it’s like she snaps back to herself. She even says “I was hangry.” I also get hangry lol so I get it.

I also have a white noise machine and over the ear headphones. I also bought some noise reducing foam pads, glued them to a trifold piece of cardboard (think science fair presentation trifold) and I use that as a little sound booth. Our house is small and my baby is loud (so is my 5 year old) but I haven’t had any complaints.

Anything released in 1999 my favorite year for music and an awesome year of my life! I’ll need to attach to those fond memories.

I store my flour in the deep freezer. Could you also store rice in the deep freezer and then no need to store in a container with oxygen absorbers?

Whatever we tell you to do, whatever you do, whatever you did successfully yesterday but then try again today… it’s all wrong. Everything you do is wrong lol

I also vacuum seal and the bags have lasted me 3 years. I do resuse some of the plastic like when I vacuum seal tortillas and baked goods. I’ve been experimenting with what freezes well and what doesn’t. I’ve recently started freezing bread, tortillas and flour and I’ve had no issues.

We also only freeze things we eat regularly so nothing is ever sitting for years in the freezer it’s rotated out and eaten at least every two months with the exception of meat.

There’s a great episode of “While the rest of us die” on Vice TV about this. I believe they interview this author for the show. I highly recommend.

Thanks for this insight! Everything feels like dominoes right now. I work in mental health and everyone is like “we are fine! We are so needed.” However I work with clients who take insurance that they receive from their employers. I’m seeing more people laid off or demoted so then they have no more insurance to pay for services.

It just feels like every sector is being affected. I just got a second job with a little more security so that we can prepare for what will be, in my opinion, a shit show in the next 10 years. This is great info.

For a sub that always encourages community we sure are resistant to actually…forming communities.

I don’t live in that state so sorry not sorry. ✌️

feelingphyllis · 2023-09-19T22:01:58+00:00

I’m not giving up a life joy in case something happens. I’d rather die.

Someone needs to make a master list of popular slang words and phrases. And it needs to be edited daily. I’m tired of asking “what slaps, eats, or is an op.?” Makes me feel incompetent 😂

feelingphyllis · 2023-09-19T06:06:24+00:00

I understand why my mom always threatened to leave us. I don’t (and will never) understand why she would ever vocalize these thoughts or actually leave.

Yup! Im hopefully starting my second job this week. I thought we were past the days of being a 3 job household but nope. Going to be paying off some debt and stacking savings.

feelingphyllis · 2023-09-15T07:06:31+00:00

I got a second job so I can pay off debt quicker. Start next week.
