I've noticed you guys are having a lot of fun with the usernames lately. Honestly, it's pretty entertaining. Here's my a half of the trade: a pun stuck to a table under a keyboard!

It's more surprising that my wildest thought was an actual, real, tangable event. I went from, "that won't happen in my lifetime." to "wow look at that. Ain't that something." with a tiny dash of pride.

When ever I make a small donation to a cause this is the image that springs to mind. Classic meme. Never knew a kitten could display guilt when it shouldn't feel guilty. That applies to kids too. I had an awesome grandma so I'm just saying she taught me something I didn't realize until later in life

Are verbal tics the human version of short circuiting? I'm starting to see the some overlap. Granted it's a passing observation. My equivalent is saying "I have no context" which translates to "404, file not found." for the computer savy out there.

My toaster oven caught fire not too long ago. It was contained by the tiny ovens case, it didn't set off the alarm either! I pulled the plug and moved it to the nearby sink. I saw a small reuseable fireblanket ad online. I might order it after all, way less messy than a conventional extinguishers

Part two of guaging cloth sizes. Hold garment where the under arm seams meet. Measure it against your chest. The multi stitch point is just under your arm pit. Act like your putting on an appron. If you have to stretch the shirt, it's too small for you. Body types may have different life hacks.

Here's a handed down grandma clothing tip. To guage if pants will fit. Zip/button the fly. Wrap the waist part around your neck like a cape. If the garment overlaps by an inch or so it will fit you. If it just meets, it'll be tight. May not work for some people, my family tree aren't all body types.

I didn't have enough small containers for my remaining mushrooms, but I did have an orange peel! Now the fridge won't dry them out. This worked with outter cabbage leaves. It just occured to me to try an orange peel. Highly reccomend trying tangerines. Easy peasy peeling. #orignalreuseablefoodwraps

Wow! When I said I was ready for rapid change I didn't expect competent people to meaningfully give me support in every capacity that others have either promised and taken back or flatout neglected. They're being direct about it and they're making room for me. This is wildly overdue. Best gift ever.

I've been watching weather reports pretty often. The past year, 2025, in the U.S. alone, was a greatest hits (literally) of the past century's most volitile and damaging weather. Almost like the planet's immune system is kicking in. We're in the thick of it. Recycle, reduce, reuse, repair, and try.

To sum up a dream lst night that keeps popping up in daydreams: Ex-Mushroom brick solar powered water/well filtration System are a good idea to promote. Just a mix of projects mixed into one piece of eco friendly infastructure.

To the people verbally encouraging me to learn new languages. I'd love to, but I'm dealing with wayyy more pressing matters right now.

Had another uncanny remote view dream last night. This time the crushing weight someone was feeling almost made them throw up. I don't remember if they actually did or not. Not a fun feeling. Hope they made it through that rought emotion. I should write these down before I forget most of them.

Only two days of Yule left. I'll just pretend like I forgot that fact and buy myself a small Yule Log before it's not in bakeries anymore. It might have to be a Yule twig or a Yule stump (a single ring of Yule log) cuz I can't eat a full Yule Log. I can, but I shouldn't. That's a whole buncha sugar.

Found some cool organic graffiti the other day. A decently carved tree tag. It looks like it says sudden change and forward motion. All proceeded by a old school Good Luck charm. Whoever made it, I'm buckled in and ready as I'll ever be, for a metaphorical roller coaster ride. I might even have fun.

Anyone else have vivid "seeing through other people's eyes" type dreams last night? No? Just me. Cool, that's fun. Last night's sleep was deep. Watching some moron scared of a bug that wasn't bugging him, just whinning for attention from my view point.

It's funny to me that I'll live in one place and certain people will think they're either magic or chosen by the heavens, waiting for signs. Then I move 200 miles or less and find more people who think the same thing. Most float around me like I'm the sign. They REALLY need a psychiatrist instead.

Hi America, I know that warm colors suit me. After some wikipedia reading, internet skimming, and loud people in public. I was aware that I look similar to a certian anime character who is ALARMINGLY resilient to being shot. America has an insanely high gun violence rate. Wtf would I ignore that?

Why am I not so subtly being told to visit Japan by other people? Oh wait, I forgot where I live. They won't tell me or help me with the why or planning part because "say, don't do" is the true 'Merican way. I haven't been comfortable since I got here because of this kinda sh!t. 25 years of unease.

I'm not sure how to interact with people who are so bewildered by me that they ask if I'm real or can't tell if I'm human or not. This isn't new. Niccolò Paganini was accused of being demonic because his violin skills were too good. A large chunk of humaity just kinda stagnated, I guess.

Did I buy the 2lb thing of butter? Yes. 'Cuz I cut it into thick medallions, wrap with parchment paper, and freeze the extra medalions. Move to fride when in need of more butter. And now you can too.

Hey America! Do you want stuff?! No? Great! We've extended stuff day to the rest of the month! Forget that budget that's been floating you for the past year! You've been trained from a young age to not have impuse control. Seriously, hearing how much holidebt people dove into with a smile is nuts.

When someone says I'm being watched by angels, I want to know which government agency that's code for. It's like, yeah buddy, I know I'm on a government watch list. Just not sure which one. More like benifical stalkers who get paid more than me. Can I start stalking myself to be on that payroll?
November 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
The government is getting so desperate for ice agents that I'm getting ads. Don't interupt Murder She Wrote with that garbage! Can't they see my online activity and geo-locations? Is their surveillance actually as halfassed as I think it is?

People are having deep meaningful dreams. Meanwhile, I have dreams where someone says I'm too short only to walk up to me, face to face, to realize they're the same height. Wow...so deep.
