It’s interesting to think about the places I’ve been and the things I’ve seen. Sometimes I reminisce back to my younger days and the many “adventures” I went on, and I just shake my head.
Tonight, I sat with a stranger and used Google translate to have a conversation, and it was wonderful. As you may know if you’ve been following my FB posts, I had to have emergency surgery 3.5 weeks ago, and my partner had a planned surgery 2.5 weeks ago. He can’t walk at all, and I could barely walk until this…
This may come as a shock for anyone who knows me, but I quit smoking cannabis! (Don’t worry, I’m still eating edibles occasionally, just not every day). This was not an easy decision to make, but it was a necessary one. I quit cigarettes over 3 years ago, but I never quite got rid of the wheezing in my lungs,…
Once again, I can’t like, share, comment, or interact with my friends on facebook for 2 days. I keep trying to communicate with Meta support, but they are rude, dismissive, and they refuse to even acknowledge the information I have been sending to them. I keep getting locked out of my account for literally no reason at all, and then…
Perhaps you have seen the TikTok question about Men vs Bears going around lately. “If you were alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a bear or a man?” Women’s answers to that hypothetical question have sparked an ongoing debate about why the vast majority say they would feel more comfortable choosing a bear. It has also sparked a…
It’s story time! Gather round if you want to hear. The other day, I was thinking about the first time I ever went to Las Vegas, Nevada. I can’t remember the exact year, but it was probably in 2000. I got suckered into “free show tickets and dinner for 2 if you go to our vacation timeshare presentation”. I was…
Next time anyone tells you that feminism is BAD, please remember how they used to treat women before we had any basic human rights. White women didn’t get the right to vote until 1920, Black women didn’t get the right to vote until 1965, and Hispanic women didn’t get the right to vote until 1967. Birth Control was invented in…
I’ve spent 30 years perfecting my website development skills and knowledge. As well as all of the related skills like programming languages, cybersecurity, network administration, unix/linux, web hosting platforms, dozens of kinds of software, database administration, graphic design, etc. I’m still learning new information and aquiring new skills every single day. I won’t stop til I die. What I can…
YouTube decided to auto play a lecture about Depression in the U.S. by Stanford’s Saplosky for me. I found it interesting and informative. I was diagnosed with major depression and panic and anxiety disorder when I was 18. I have actually suffered from these things for most of my life though. I don’t remember a time in my life when…
Sadly, I can identify with this. Often, when doctors make assumptions about you based on their own biases, they miss the glaringly obvious problems that actually do exist. As a medical marijuana patient, I had my hereditary polycystic kidney disease dismissed and ignored by multiple doctors over a 2-3 year period while I was suffering through agonizing pain and had…
I discovered Elizaveta a few years back on Myspace, and fell in love with her music instantly. I have followed her across several social networks, bought her albums, gratefully downloaded the free songs that she sends out to her fans from time to time, and in general, I have grown to feel as though she is a part of my…
