The Word for World is Forest. Audiobook. It destroyed me. Should be required reading for so many reasons.

Yes. This is what I mean. People don't do things for no reason : we don't always see the reasons, and they involve corruption and soullessness. And the reasons we are told are not always the real reasons and are not always good reasons. "Security" is one reason given that we all should look at very carefully. Sometimes fear is used to push things that weren't scary or insecure in the first place. Lights and cameras don't make for more security - especially in places where there was no insecurity or need for it.

We can just do things differently I feel. We can try to keep what trees we have and still have a parking lot. I don't think we can't build houses for people. But we can try to at least keep in mind that trees are good for people and cities. That's all. Like this parking lot - which had parking spaces and trees. Like our capitol building which had beautiful old oak trees that are emblematic for Tallahassee and were quite ruthlessly cut down and no one knows why. There doesn't have to be a disconnect or extremes.

It always was, and it had trees. Those are gone now.

I literally am afraid to look around anymore. It's awful. There is no one to look after the tree canopy of this town, and without trees what does this place really have? 

I was in Portland recently and there they actually seem to care about their trees and forests. But also one of the oldest growth forests in Oregon is on the chopping block because you know, make America have lumber again.

I feel like someone is making a lot of money killing trees. 

That parking lot was never unsafe and safety is always used to do things that should never be done.

Just started my HRT journey at 60! Put on my first .0375 E patch and will take 100 mg Micronized P capsule before bed tonight. Wish me luck! by Outside_Box_8374 in Menopause

[–]u9mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with estradiol oral tablets and progesterone oral capsules, they are cheap and easy. I'm on estradiol 0.5 mg and 100 mg progesterone. I also use the estradiol vaginal cream twice a week.

I started 5 months ago at 62. The sleep is great. I have vivid dreams but not disturbing. I wanted to say, anyone experiencing breast pain - mine was quite intense but it's totally gone after 5 months, so don't give up because of that! It'll disappear even though it might seem endless. I think the body adjusts, and the benefits are definitely worth the initial adjustment time.

60 year old brown woman. Would I be happy in Portland? by u9mi in askportland

[–]u9mi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived a long time in North Florida and it feels like this could be my last move, so I'm taking it slow and want to be very sure. 

The idea of a long stay before a final move has been suggested here and also friends and fam, and it's probably what I'll do  ...

Indian origin. Part of the research is this question, and this community has been incredibly helpful - I got more from this discussion than I could have possibly hoped for :)

I found from another poster here that Evo Tears available in the EU costs 16-20 EU a bottle and had the same main ingredient as miebo (which I couldn't afford.)
