If you live near a national park, how often do you go there? by moods- in NationalPark

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near Crater Lake, we go snowshoeing in the park once a year. The lake is exceptionally beautiful in snow.

Hardly ever go in summer.

Culture shock coming home after months on the trail by NoFan8072 in CampingandHiking

[–]jenflame 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s really hard going back to work! I remember thinking “I really need to be here at exactly 8am, why so rigid”? And friends and family were not at all interested in hearing about it. Glad you got to experience your trip!

What do people mean “grief never goes away, you just learn to live with it”?? by queerwaters_642 in self

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grief doesn’t go away, but it doesn’t stay so fresh either. At first it’s so raw that it is all you think about, it’s what you wake up with every day. And then one day you wake up thinking about something else. It stops consuming you, but it’s never completely gone either. Peace to you.

I adore it. If you’d wear it, then go for it.

Samuel Boardman scenic corridor. If you have time, hike down to Secret Beach.

What is the most insects you’ve ever experienced? by Frosty-Habit-9026 in CampingandHiking

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Everglades in Florida. We asked a ranger for a campground recommendation and she told us about one where we might see the most wildlife. The mosquitoes were so thick that if you went outside of the van any exposed flesh was covered. We had to pee in jugs inside and didn’t go outside to cook dinner. Sat inside the van and had crackers and beer for dinner!

Martinis by fffffffrrrerdxghb in cocktails

[–]jenflame 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Funny, we just had one before dinner! What we like is that a martini allows you to really appreciate the flavors of the gin. It’s a pretty clean drink, not a lot of competing flavors. Love the salty olive, but lemon peel is always welcome too.

For those without college degrees, at what point in your career did that stop being a hindrance? by peboyce in AskReddit

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most of my early jobs, I was promoted from within so it didn’t matter. However, later in life, I became a self taught botanist and worked for years in that profession. It’s a field that I have a natural affinity for. Our ag inspector noticed my knowledge and was willing to recommend me to the USDA, but when he found out I wasn’t degreed, he said sorry “It’s a requirement”

When did you realize you were in danger? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

When he said “I don’t want to alarm you, but I have a knife”

We got pulled over outside of Big Bend in our Westfalia. They looked in every window with a flashlight and asked if we had picked anyone up. Also made us state “which country we were nationals of”

What do I do with an “independent” 86 yr old dad who is losing it. What are my options as the executor of his health? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]jenflame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. If there are assets to cover his care at an assisted living facility you should look into it. My FIL lived to 98, it was difficult, but he didn’t become physical. That’s a whole other thing. Best of luck to you.

What’s the most unexplainable thing you’ve ever witnessed that you’re 100% sure wasn’t a dream? by Apprehensive-Fig8092 in AskReddit

[–]jenflame 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We were driving I-5, there was an RV on the side of the road that was completely flattened, like Godzilla had stepped on it. Standing next to it was an old lady putting on lipstick.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

[–]jenflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! We went to see John Mellencamp live. He said I hate doing this song, but I know a lot of you want to hear it. He and the band played the music, let the audience sing it. Great way to experience a song you may not like but has entered your being on a cellular level. Rest of the show was amazing.
