  • I'm not ignoring anyone, I will get back to private messages as soon as I can, I'm just a bit backlogged and SUPER busy today. I'm having some guests over (kind of unexpectedly) so I had to finish up work early and I've been doing a ton of chores. I'm sure there are other people here who are like this too, but I need my house to be spotless when I have people over.

    I know that feeling. Have a beautiful weekend, l wish it started tomorrow.
    Today is off to a great start. Met a couple of neighbors/friends for breakfast, walked my dogs (it’s a perfect day, early autumn weather) and now I’m off to work. I’m hoping to go for a hike later and, of course, take some pictures.

    And here’s my outfit. No vintage skirt would be complete without a matching Pointer shirt. I’ve been gifted so much Pointer stuff over the years but I always find a use for it.

    The geese remind me of Ruby, she'd go mental racing around in circles, chasing her own tail and doing back flips because geese make the same noise as her toy pig.

    geese are the spawn of satan, growing up my mother had geese in the backyard and they were MEAN. Better watchers than dogs, tho
    Enzo takes Apoquel for allergic dermatitis. My vet suggested that Enzo and I should audition for a commercial for it if they’re going to make a new one (numerous people have also suggested that we should do a chewy.com ad.)
    What do you think?

    Thank you so so much everyone for the overwhelming support and love I received in my “farewell” thread. And many of you will be pleased to know that it has made me reconsider. I have made friendships here that I will never find on the same level irl. I may not be exactly like everyone here, but this is still “home.” I would’ve never truly realized how loved I am here and thank you all for helping me realize that.
    I have not been intentionally trying to lose weight but I have lost almost 20 pounds. I don’t really want to be skinny though in all honesty because I am recovered from anorexia and I don’t want to relapse. There was nothing wrong with my body in the first place.

    Heat makes me drop weight. Is hot there? When l start seeing my hip bones, l get frightened. Like too bony, l need donuts.

    Yes, it has been pretty hot here lately. Heat sometimes makes me lose my appetite.
    @Forest Cat I just saw an ad on TV for Norwegian salmon, and I really want to cook with it now. Looks great

    Love salmon baked with Gray Poupon and ginger. A decade ago took a trip to alaska, icy straits, and did a lot of fishing (and eating). Salmon was great, but enjoyed the Halibut. I did not catch a big one, but hauling in a 35 lb halibut was great. Then, we set out crab traps and had 15 Dungeness crabs. I never had such plentiful and fresh seafood.

    People seem to like it, 90% of all salmon sold in Japan for example comes from Norway.
    My nails are long enough now to get in the way of my phone keyboard lol. Real nails, not acrylics.
    I tried acrylics when I went on vacation in June. They are not for me lol
    This is a gel manicure.

    I'm home from my trip but I'm not feeling very well, and my "birthday" party is tomorrow. I actually think it's overhydration from drinking too much water, so I'm just going to try to go back to bed and sleep it off.

    Been there, done that and will occasionally continue to do so living in the desert.
    It just happens.....always in the summer heat.
