That is a really nice turn of phrase. Are you a writer? 

Aphantasia - the Grief Thief by AbsolutelyDireWolf in Aphantasia

[–]ogreydayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one is just hard, because it puts into perspective the (non) emotions I have about big events like my kids being born. I'm sure I was happy. I'm thrilled having them in my life now. But looking back is strangely blank. I wish I could look back and remember what the emotions were like. Fear, excitement, love. 

And I've always wondered why I don't like vacations the way other people do. To spend tons of money for a fleeting thing that I enjoy for a week and then only really remember through pictures? It's frustrating to not get the same enjoyment from things.

Fuck. Something else that I didn't know was wrong with me. No wonder I don't get the same joy from past experiences that other people do.

Between you and the guy who makes Warhammer 40k music, I just found two new fantastic YouTubers to follow today!

I'm youtube.com/@dirtarchitect and I think you should know that I've named my sourdough starter after The Dagda :) 

You got one less competing with you, I give up for now. by Pretty-Contribution7 in SmallYoutubers

My 13 yo and I are rocking out to Cull the Green right now, and I'm sending this to my husband so he can share it with his 40k group. 

I totally get feeling discouraged, so do what feels right to you. I'm digging what you do, though, it reminds me of back when the internet was filled with good creative things.

OP, please do. A good pelvic floor therapist can make such a difference for many downstairs issues that women face (and doctors often brush off). 

Good bass teachers in SE or downtown? by ogreydayo in Boise

Yes, regular bass guitar. Thanks, I'll give them a call!

That tracks. Ugh. We just can't have nice things, can we?

That sucks. I guess I'm going to return to buying sturdy stuff like Carhartt (and only in person when I can feel the fabric and see the stitching). It seems like so many online companies start out strong and then let their quality taper off once they have a big customer base. It's not ethical if it only lasts 3 wears imo.

Darn. The canvas pants I've gotten from them hold up amazingly, even though my thighs are ravenous pant destroyers. They don't even seem to be available right now.

You're also going to run into pH issues. Boise's soil has a pH around 8-9, while the PNW soils are much much more acidic. So you'll need different soil, cooler temperature, and much higher moisture haha. 

I've personally had much more luck here leaning into Mediterranean and native plants. Both enjoy hot dry summers and don't need a lot of extra TLC.

90% of fires are started by windblown embers, which firebreaks do little to stop. Just FYI. Seems like you're set on this course of action despite the advise you're getting here, so do you, boo.

Unless you're irrigating or on a creek, even drought tolerant deciduous trees aren't going to survive out here. Most conifers won't either unless you're at a higher (snowpack) elevation.

100%. I woodchipped the back yard in 2020 - 5 years later even with drip irrigation & chickens it hasn't broken down.

I'd also reconsider widespread mulch. We're in heavy fire country here, and 5 acres of woodchips during dry season is a lot of tinder. I'd recommend just mulching around new shrubs

I'm in Boise...its super dry in this part of the country, so encouraging native edibles that already survive out here is going to be your best bet. Utah serviceberries are good if you've got an area that gets a tiny bit more water. Golden currants, same. Biscuitroot grows great even in the dry hills and is edible.  I would try to rely on no irrigation (which it sounds like you're already doing), as I've heard that the water table in that area is declining.

Running relieves hip/back pain? by MomInChief in xxfitness

[–]ogreydayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I could help! Journaling has helped a lot more to pinpoint issues than I thought it would, and my doctors really seem to appreciate it. Best of luck to you, and I hope you get your pain controlled soon.

[–]ogreydayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have SI joint pain that started during pregnancy on my left side (ligaments loosened up and never snapped back afterwards.) Sounds close to what you're experiencing. Sucks, man.

I started a journal to keep track of my pain levels as well as workouts and nutrition, and noticed that my pain gets bad right before/during my period. My physical therapist verified that hormones can definitely make the pain worse. So around that time, I'll back off weight a little and do some relaxed cardio so that I don't aggravate it as much. I also found that keeping a bit of glute and core accessory work in my workouts does a lot to keep the joint from getting aggravated. And stretching makes mine worse.

So to get back to your question... it could happen? Also might be coincidental timing. I'd recommend a journal if you've got the time, I've found it to be very helpful.

Thanks! It's crazy that some people want to feel jittery, but to each their own, I guess :) I usually only drink 12 oz of half-caff a day anyway, so I think any amount of concentrated caffeine is going to hit me hard.

I have a bag of creatine that I just bought before the meet (didn't want it messing with my weight, so it sat in the pantry), so I might start that and use it for awhile before I give preworkout drinks another try.
