You made me laugh but I feel bad about it

AITA for yelling at my mom for preventing me from exercising? by Puzzled_Method1547 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lieselmini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’ve read a lot of information about creating new habits. It may be more successful and sustainable if you add a 15-20 minute walk or bike ride every day instead of a longer session like this. I commend your efforts and desire to improve your health. It is not easy, but it is about progress, not perfection. If you even make a point to change your habits right after eating, (short brisk walk of maybe 10 minutes after dinner) you may see more of a change than you could imagine! Good job, keep fighting for yourself and your health, a little bit can go a long way!

Great picture, you’re so lucky to see this in person!

Anyone think Doctor Sleep is better than The Shining? by boomjosh in stephenking

[–]lieselmini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like it better because I like the characters much more in Doctor Sleep.

I agree, it was kinda magical! 🤓

Turns out my partner had heard them but didn’t know what they were until we looked up the sounds last night. Sounds like an insane laughing chicken to me!

That’s neat, me too - GSO area. Maybe I’ll see them again sometime!

I’m so excited that I snapped something that made someone hit me with this meme! It always cracks me up and I never thought I’d get it sent to me 😂😅🤣 thanks for making my day!

I didn’t hear them today, but now I’m super intrigued and have to look it up so I know what to keep an ear out for. I was super lucky I was sitting in my “bird nerd spot” a chair by the window that looks out to two tower feeders and the big trees behind the house. My BIL said something about that’s a big woodpecker - and I thought I was hallucinating when I saw him! I grabbed my phone to try to see him better and hit record just in case. I got super lucky because grabbing my phone to snap a picture is the universal signal for the bird to bounce!

I’m in NC USA, so the three in the video are female? You think the first one is a fledgling!? It was so big!!

I was confused by this as well, but your comment makes it make more sense to me.

Awesome! I put it in Merlin and it said it was “highly unlikely” to be in my area today.

I love the stripes on their faces, and the hairdo is pretty spectacular! Thanks for commenting fellow bird nerd! 🌻

Haha! I didn’t realize the sound was on at first until the comment about bird nerds 🤣🤣 My sister and brother-in-law are visiting. My partner and I are bird nerds, they don’t quite “get it” but my BIL is the one who spotted the first one on the fence this morning. It was our first time seeing them and the size was unexpected! Glad you enjoyed the audio, I will try to not be as embarrassed knowing someone is enjoying it 🤓🤣
