  • It’s storming and I am worried about the power getting knocked out again. :(

    Happens *a lot* around my area. We're in the middle of nowhere, connection is shaky. Have you thought of getting something like a backup battery? "UPS" is the abbreviation for that type. Huge blocky thing.

    I use one here, even if (when) the power pops the PC (or whatever) can still run for a good couple of hours. Also good for protecting from power surges. Obviously it cant run your whole house, but it at least allows something to run for a while when power is down.

    That is what my yoga teachers say after class. I am starting to love myself more thinking that before I can love someone else.

    That’s a nice thing to say. :)

    Exactly! Reflect the good in others is one way to positively be noticed, connect, and be the person people want a relationship with.
    I just found out there is a Disgaea 7 in Japan! I’ve really dropped the ball on some of my interests!

    Gotta wait until Fall of this year to play it.
    Clutch’s Robot Hive/Exodus and Mastodon’s Blood Mountain are the best albums to start with for newcomers to both bands.
    I have a dental appointment at 9:00 but I haven’t slept yet and it’s currently 5:32 now. My GI issues have been acting up again.

    If only there were some way to track this.
    Like....keeping a record of what you eat, so that
    someone could review and note any pattern of
    effects.

    Is there anyone who'd be willing to keep a record
    of what you eat? You, for example?
    Did I miss out on social opportunities by not smoking and drinking in my 20’s? Should I have forced myself to enjoy both things back then?

    It doesn't sound like anything you need to be involved in.
    *not minding it* isn't exactly a rip roaring acclamation of
    enjoyment.

    I just wish it didn’t seem like smoking and drinking were requirements for socialization.

    I don’t like alcoholic drinks either. An exception to that is a chocolate cocktail. And I like Irishman Coffee. And yes, there’s a difference between Irish Cofee and Irishman coffee.
    One of the CDs I ordered had a jewel case that was broken beyond repair. I took out the booklet and back inlay, took apart the jewel case of another CD I was initially intending on donating, and placed the prior’s stuff inside it. I feel like I exercised my brain.

    Same thing works on cassettes (and defective cassettes can be repaired with parts of another one too--Good if you're preserving rare or underground '80s-'00s music.)

    I've been there. That's cool that you still buy CDs, too!

    Solving problems is exercise for your brain.
    I wish I could participate in music discussions and actually have my contributions appreciated instead of scoffed at.

    What kind of discussions about music are you looking for?

    Music that isn’t just mainstream and discussions about the subcultures.

    That's how it is with hobbies though, it aint just you and it aint just music. I cant have a bloody conversation about video games either without someone eventually bursting into flames. Better to just go enjoy the hobby/interest rather than worry about what others think.
    My mother judges me on my interests but she watches tv shows that feature people getting shot, stabbed, burned, poisoned, tortured, murdered, and raped.
    A dog ran out in the street while I was driving and got close to my car! Thankfully I didn’t hit it!

    Good.
    For both of you.

    Omg, that’s so scary!!! I’m glad you and the dog are okay!
    I have had to save dogs that were hit by cars and it’s not something you would ever hope to see.

    In March 2020 I was in the right place at the right time and administered emergency first aid to a golden retriever who was run over on a main street. The dog survived because a woman helped me get him to the vet, but locating his owners and telling them was so emotionally painful.
