I don't mind dwelling on the stupid thing I did 25 years ago, because that's 20 minutes I'm not dwelling on the stupid thing I did last week.

my mom: they are "builder grade" light fixtures.
me: does that mean they are good?
my mom: no, it means they are crap.
me: so why call them builder grade? just call them crap. just say the room has shitty light fixtures.

So sorry to hear you are in a flare up too 😭
I was near alllllllll the allergens yesterday, so hoping not being around them will help.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

I'm not good with specifics, but I don't like that they feel heavy on my head, sometimes it feels like the top of my ears are being smushed. I'm not used to having something sit on my head like that. My issue likely is "not used to it".

I cut it way back after it flowers, each "branch" that flowers, afterwards I cut it back 2+ leaves. Other than that, I gave it a north facing window, watering when I remember, and benign neglect.

Thanksgiving cactus getting ready for first big show of the season!

Branches and leaves of a Christmas cactus, many leaves have tiny buds on their ends

View into how my brain works:
Driving a new route, I knew the road I needed was 3-5 miles away, but I didn't know exactly where. Floyd's The Wall starts playing on the radio.
Me: I'll be at my road around the time this song ends.
As I'm turning onto my road, the song ends.

Saw someone refer to Wellbutrin as wellyB.
I am 💯 calling it that now!

I have trouble wearing the big headphones too. Work bought me fancy noise canceling headphones, I'm still figuring out how to wear them comfortably 😥

This is so Beavis & Butthead, it hurts.

Got to the scene with the President, and yep, sounds familiar.

I'm in a carb coma, so let's watch Idiocracy and see how it's aged.

I enjoy older episodes of "This Podcast Will Kill You", ethusiastic epidemiology, how our bodies work, public health, fun nerdy stuff!
(Not dissing the newer eps, I just seem to prefer the older ones)

Similar here, it's mostly private offices in my area of the building.

Red Ginger Sonja @redgingersonja.bsky.social · 2d

🤣😂🤣😂

Red Ginger Sonja @redgingersonja.bsky.social · 2d

But like, I don't need the whole building to hear my conversation??
