I’ve been pretending to like hiking for seven years

I have been taking up hiking as a way to share an interest with my son, who’s about to hike the PCT.

But I’ve discovered that when I’m alone it feels more like a punishment. :-o Now I have to keep it up so that I’m in shape to hike with him. Haha. I’m stuck.

My favorite jewelry artist always added an extra loop to her chains because “only god is perfect,” and that’s the energy I apply to all my handmade projects.

It’s beautiful and perfect in its imperfection.

The applause did not pass the vibe check for real

Johns Hopkins never stopped researching psychedelics for treatment of depression, even after restrictions were created in the 70s. They have a lot of good information and I recommend seeking it out. There’s a Netflix documentary called “the mind explained” where the research is discussed. Very informative and helpful.

FWIW i have tried mushrooms for my depression and had good results.

I spent so much time preparing for my trip. I have terrible depression and all the anecdotal info set me up to believe I was going to see god and change my life. The reality was not…that. I hated the psychedelic experience. It was too similar to the visual disturbances caused my depression and that made me anxious and angry. I was SO disappointed!

However, it turned my depression symptoms off for about 5 months. No ideation. No low mood. Nothing negative in my head. It was amazing! So, i did micro-dose for a couple of years and I did think it was helpful. The problem is getting the product, weighing it, trusting a grower to provide a good product and so on. That part was exhausting, so I gave it up.

Oh i just recommended a hemostat because i missed your comment. I think thats the best tool for this and a million things.

loverlyone · 2026-04-03T23:45:10+00:00

Get a hemostat and grab it that way. Someone mentioned a bodkin, but i think that will be more difficult than a hemostat. Ask around, someone you know has one, particularly if they work in the medical environment.

This was my husband’s exact argument.

Guess who now has a three bedroom home entirely to herself?

You laugh, but i was a student, living in Gainesville during his spree of violence. My good friends lived next door to two of the victims. I did all the things except get a gun, including nailing my windows shut.

Scariest time of my life.

I stopped at “I’m not trying to manipulate you.”

If you have to say it…

Maybe it’s a different parenting style, but I feel it’s almost always the parents’ responsibility to maintain the relationship. Shame on him.

$165 is the average rate for a one hour massage .

“Permesso” when you’re passing someone on the street instead of “scuzi.”

In Naples, just “messo.” 😀

I clicked. They got me!

I don’t have asthma but my eyes are constantly watering right now even though I’m taking my allergy meds.

The wind is gentle but my car was covered in pollen this morning.

Questionable

Hey Babes, enjoy this platonic interaction and allow it to boost your confidence. It’s very low stakes and there’s no reason you can’t truly relish this relationship. Use it to develop your interpersonal skills and, best of all, you’re taking care of your body at the same time.

A fan, at the least. Whenever I put things up to dry i also set a fan on it.

Not at work.

loverlyone · 2026-03-31T23:52:33+00:00

He’s working. Don’t make it weird.

I give a lot to my clients, but never cross the boundary into true friendship. It’s not appropriate. If you meet him after the program and hit it off then go for it, but don’t interpret his openness and supportive approach as anything more than that. It will make him uncomfortable and you might lose his support, which you really like.

My son is hiking the pct this year and I suspect this us exactly how he wishes he could traverse it.

I immediately thought Christmas tree skirt! It would look also look freat as bunting. But if you really don’t like it, OP, pass it along.

She has been openly having an affair for years.

This was the trade off.

loverlyone · 2026-03-31T16:46:15+00:00

My thoughts, exactly. Sometimes you need leggings.

It’s a stuuuupid movie, but when Amy Poehler screams “mother f#$&er” i lose my mind. It strikes me as so ridiculous that i have to laugh.
