  • Same here! I get to actually focus on things, my brain is clear, and I can actually think in a straight line. But boy do I get sleepy if I let myself. If I have a task, I’m fine, but if I take em without some kind of task or to-do item I just end up taking a nap. A wonderful, wonderful nap.

    Also, weirdly, my tourette’s and OCD tics are majorly reduced for about 6 hours after taking my meds. I started taking them and only realized I had reduced tics when a friend mentioned to me that I wasn’t doing a particular thing that had been plaguing me for a while. Made the connection after a few more days of paying attention, and mentioned to my doc. She thought that was wild, because ADHD meds are apparently bad for making tics worse


  • Not arguing, trying to understand.

    Doesn’t the covered farm land require the same thing? They’re not hucking the panels out into the field and leaving them on the ground. They’re creating raised platforms to put them on. And they’re obviously going to have maintainence and cleaning and repair as well.

    I know it’s more expensive in a parking lot, because that platform is taller, but to my (entirely uneducated on the subject) thinking, it seems like taller platform is the only real difference













  • Ignoring the obvious conversation about downs, a story:

    A friend of mine when we were roughly 20ish had a pregnant dog, and needed to go out of town. Asked me to watch the dog in case she had the puppies. I agreed. She then became very serious about complications in labor, and I told her not to worry, I had the vet’s number, and dog’s generally have an easier time of it than people. She kept going on about making sure she would be alright, and after listening to her for several minutes, it became clear she did not understand what would be happening, and was concerned there was a chance one of the babies would get stuck in the dog’s butt. Because she genuinely thought sometimes babies can come out the butt if they get lost in there.



  • Honestly, I read about it a bit. I’m not entirely against it. My mom was born 61, and there was a pretty clear difference in her and her age peers than her older sisters, all 10+ years older than her. For instance, she was an avid progressive, as with most of the people her age she associated with, the older siblings (except her gay brother) are all trump supporters. I don’t know per se that that’s generational, exactly. But I could see wanting to distance yourself from certain aspects of boomers







  • A few weeks ago my boyfriend was chased across the parking lot of his apartment complex by a goose. He took refuge on a bench by the pond.

    At which point the gator living in that pond started coming through the water in his direction. He stood up, ripples stop, gator stops. Sits back down, gator starts coming again. Stands up, it stops. Sits down, gator is a-comin’. He left at that point.

    I am convinced the gator and the goose were in cahoots, and the goose was promised safety in exchange for a sacrifice
