    What are you looking forward to?

    Wow, I didn't know until now about the fossil trade but, again, wow! I've had Morocco on my "bucket list" for quite a while now. I had a relative who did a stint in the Peace Corps when he was much younger and gave me some post cards of camels and the Sahara. It stuck with me and I've been...

    What are you looking forward to?

    Honestly? Nothing at the moment. I might try to take a trip in March to Morocco but it's not scheduled yet. And I'm going to have to decide if it's something I really want to do, because while I enjoy seeing other places and I enjoy the experiences - what I do not enjoy is the actual travel. So...

    Boredom with food

    I do that too. Not only sauces but I will use different chili powders or cumin powder in things. Doesn't necessarily change the taste but adds something.

    Boredom with food

    I get this sometimes so I use a lot of hot sauce. There's a brand here in the states called Frank's RedHot and I go through a lot of the buffalo sauce where I put it on just about everything. I don't know that there's a name for it, I do know that I get an endorphin kick from it because some...

    Atopic dermatitis

    I do get some mild dermatitis but mostly in the winter. It's not so much the soaps but it's the dry air that sucks all the moisture out of the skin. I do use soaps that are for sensitive skin and use heavy lotions for moisture, but it doesn't help. I had to get a prescription for triamcinolone...

    I have some edema going on currently.

    Correct, salt is a necessary electrolyte, however, it is possible to have too much of it. Water follows salt, so the more salt you consume, the more water your body needs to hold on to to dilute the salt in your blood. And if a person has venous insufficiency, the blood will pool in the lower...

    Nonstop Analyzing After Conversations Makes Me Hesitant to Actually Have Conversations

    I did used to do this too, but eventually I realized that for the most part, people don't care about you. They don't walk around thinking about you. They have their own lives and things they are thinking about. To me, that was liberating. So now, if I make a social mistake, I might curse myself...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I tried to watch the 2025 Superman - I made it all of about 20 minutes. Had to turn it off. Apparently written for children. Not my thing. Not a movie but I'm currently watching the Ed Gein series on Netflix.

    This is all in the past. Stop looking behind you because you're not going that way.

    You and I both know that your mother doesn't have any power over you unless you allow it.

    What is family

    Family is who you choose to be in your life. I have relatives that I hardly ever see. I don't consider them family. However I also have friends that I have known a long time and they are my chosen family.

    It's not a contest, you're allowed to feel unhappy/uncomfortable for any reason.

    How did you find Christianity?

    I think I found Christianity in much the same way that others in most parts of the world find it: it was introduced by my surrounding community. It's quite literally baked into the culture. It's not that hard for me to imagine that if I had been born in another part of the world, I would have...

    Cognitive biases - the fallacy of the "True Believer"

    I see it daily on the news. George Orwell wrote a book on the idea as well.

    Do you get weird advertising?

    Correct, it's both. There's your location, which is general based upon where your internet service provider is located. Then there's the algorithm determined by your search history and usage, which can further narrow down information. My laptop often seems to think I am an older woman - I get...
