What the actual fuck? I feel like that can’t be migraine. Tylenol makes mine worse (nausea), and has never worked for any other pain. Just makes me feel vaguely poisoned.
I don’t actually take OTC painkillers much at all, maybe once a year. But the sumatriptan injection for migraine is amazing for mine - no drugged feeling, no up no down, just unwinds the headache. That stuff has worked as rescue medicine for my (once a month or fewer) migraines for 25 years now.
Hmm. I may already count as older. But depending - maybe 4 if I am ok to continue what I have now, but need something else?
Plus vitamins, so maybe 8 in total because I plan to continue my “stack” of three supplements I’ve been taking for years.
Well it doesn’t take over my yard because I got it all removed by a guy with a backhoe because it scared me. I like the way it looks but want some clumping bamboo not running bamboo, which had taken over the yard here when we bought our house. There’s still a little in one corner I just aggressively manage it. Comes over from the neighbors so it’s unavoidable.
There are bamboo forests, aren’t there? I’m sure that in its natural habitat it does have competition. Like kudzu. It’s just invasive here.
USD $200 for eight lines with unlimited data, calls, text; international coverage only for texting. So it works out to $25 each but I don’t think we could get that price on fewer lines. Large family.
I’ve put turtles in the car several times, to bring them to water. Birds, we’ve taken to the seabird rescue. I think that’s it.
I ride an electric bike instead of driving, gentle exercise but I’m sure it makes a difference. Pokemon go walks, yoga 4x a week at a group class, weightlifting less than once a week. Yardwork too, hauling things around. I got running shoes but have not deployed them yet, I’d like to run once a week only. I do move around a lot. I read somewhere that if you wanted to be fit after you are 50 you really need to exercise 3 hours a day, and it seems true. Not like lifting for 3 hours every day but if I was retired I’d do cardio every morning, lifting every noon, yoga every evening except one day totally off everything each week.
Also, keep a glass of water at your desk. Get up to fill it, drink, get up to pee, repeat. So that you aren’t sitting for too long.
Hmm.
Honestly John Rys Davies, based solely on Dominic Monaghan’s description of him ordering dinner when filming Lord of the Rings.
"John Rhys-Davies… took us to a restaurant. And it was when we’d only just started to get to know John. And we sat down at this huge, long table, and he said, “I think I will order the food for tonight.” And we said, “Oh, ok, on you go John.” And you know, we were having a conversation, and the waitress came over, and John ordered food that would probably have fed 35, maybe 40 people. And there were about 12 of us. And he just said, “We’ll have nine lobster and 15 shrimp, and 12 red snapper, 15 filet mignons, and some grilled mushrooms. I’ll have 12 onions and a wild boar…” You know? All this kind of stuff - just like, “Pheasants, and grouse, and - do you have partridge? Bring the partridge.”
Standing on the side of a road (a real road here in town) with a group, waiting for a bus, when the ground underneath us starts to rise - it’s not the ground, it’s a giant spider! And as it emerges and starts lumbering down the road we realize it is also our transportation, the bus stop was the bus.
I think that was the weirdest moment I have experienced.
Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.
That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.
Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor
Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.
I learned to be cool in hot temperature by being still, in the shade, with a breeze, it’s very hot and humid here but also windy usually.
Trees help so much. It is noticeably cooler at the park than in the city.
In the house when there is not air conditioning, roofed porches and opening the windows with fans pulling air through the house helps.
Yes, 65F for the winter or lower, I hate the heater, and yes, 78F in summer, the heat pump struggles and it’s plenty cool enough, feels cool compared to outside.
ETA I grew up in Florida without air conditioning. No central air until I was 24, sometimes window units. And at school no air conditioning till 7th grade and they kept it fucking FREEZING in that school so you would be going always from hot outside to so cold inside, it was worse than none.
People absolutely can adapt to the humidity and heat but buildings do not, they hold up so much better with the central air drying them out.
No and no.
Ponzi scheme or something like that? Yes, I would snitch. Bank robbery, please do not tell me. Cheating on taxes? I will judge you but no, not turn you in, if you get caught you get caught.
Caw! Caw!
(Thank you! Thank you!)
I’m in accounting and considering what I read in the news, it was surprising to me how honest it is in real, regular, non public companies. We get real audits that are trying to validate our records, we give them our real work to look at, try so hard to figure out the real cost and revenue each month and year, to allocate things correctly, nobody is pushing for some fake result, only for a clear picture.
Those companies with fraud? A lot of things have to go wrong, and someone has to be really trying hard to defraud, and needs to convince others to go along with that. Most companies hire accounting because they actually want to have a good picture of what’s going on financially.
Yes. Habit.
Corviknight. A seven foot tall crow is terrifying!
ETA the best design is Banette.
Please + thank you
Sil vous plait et Merci
Bitte + Danke
Por favor + Gracias
Shukran thanks in Arabic but I don’t know how to say please.
I’m reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.
Ten? Anyone, if I have it on me. I don’t, usually but have done that for random panhandlers, instead of spare change.
100? That’s harder. Any friend or relative who hasn’t asked me for money, again, if I have it and they don’t.
1000? No. That is “questions asked” territory for anyone.
