If I hate something it doesn't go on my plate or gets left behind. My mom was a horrid cook and I grew having to eat it all. When I became an adult I said never again will I eat something I don't like.

The one exception is if im a guest...then I'll eat at least one bite.

Funny fact about life in Maine... everybody works at least 2 jobs, if not 3. We have to to keep society functioning. The low population is great...and not so great all at the same time.

They weren't keeping me in hours anyway, so it's kind of a shrug, but very rude and inexplicable. No idea what I did. I've never even had a complaint from anyone. 🀷

Is it weird to drink my tea with a spoon? My great grandfather poured his into a saucer and slumped it, so I feel like the spoon is at least quieter.

β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Was reading a thread about a doctor telling a depressed patient that they just needed to read the Bible...and was reminded of the time I was told my son's autism could be cured if I'd just let them do an exorcism.

The parts of parenting an autistic child no one talks about...

And if you weren't depressed you might have the ability to brainwash yourself that way, but...

It's like telling someone with a broken leg to just walk it off.

Having a lie in on my first day off. It's 60Β°+. After 16 weeks of snow, below average temps, and grey sky, it's so nice to just lay here with the door open and listen to the silence of the forest taking a deep breath. The dogs are out lounging in the sun, too.

But, hey, you do realize...

Shh...

Glad you see the connection...

I've long seen the similarities between what evils the conservatives preach about Sharia law and what Christian conservatives demand for the US. Same things. Same God. Different brand name.

Pretty low bar for me
Finding #harmony
The way paved
With #stones
Thrown my way
You could've mailed them
With a #stamp
My name in bold letters
And I still would've
Missed the point
Anger being nothing
To a mind raging
Out of control
In silence

They've done worse, but it is very unprofessional.

I didn't even get that because we work out of the office fully. They just removed my access to the scheduling app. 🀷 Nothing said. No text, email, note,...nothing.

09.03.2026 22:08 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, I signed a contract. They removed me from the scheduling app but no one has contacted me in any way. 🀷

I'm not upset about it. I'm still employed and earning money otherwise, but just thought someone might have a word...

When you cease employment with a company, there should be some formality to it, right? One party or the other should give notice, right??

Dylan was as unstoppable as #lightning and just as dangerous as he stormed through the Fleet HQ, searching for the idiot that had made the call.

The Antilles had limped home, half his crew injured, too many dead, and he wanted to know where they had got their intel from, if they had any.

Lightning Nature GIF ALT: Lightning Nature GIF

The thunderclouds,
O’er desert land
Make masterpiece
Cross sky

Heat #lightning adds
Bright artistry
That draws
The watcher’s eye

But then it is
The thunderclap
That has
Near final word…

Before the sky
Releases rain
Like flock
Of angry birds

The sea witch scrutinized the bird on the pirate’s shoulder. β€œYou… you’ve hidden the Kraken’s Key, in your seagull?!”

He tipped his tricorn hat. β€œUm, arrr, well—”

β€œThat’s ingenious!”

β€œIt’s not that atoll!”

β€œWhat?”

β€œYar! β€˜E thought it was a french fry!”

The rumbling thunder shook the house. Sheets of rain pelted the windows. She held her breath, shivering on the kitchen floor, knife in hand, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew she’d seen someone inside. A big crack of #lightning lit up the room. There he was, standing directly over her. #vss365
