@overholt I would need a LOT of months for that one. Too bad you still have to pay shipping but the idea of shipping something that expensive gives me chills.

@jmccyoung My sister just found the thing she bought yesterday listed for twice as much on prime day.

@aleen At the airport yesterday I saw one of those Oregon Trail shirts that said “Died of listening to RFK Jr.”

It is a disgrace.

@patrickrhone After my kids left for college, I felt guilty doing anything I knew they would like to do for a long while. At the same time, I was celebrating all of their new experiences. A little disconnect.

@Miraz Another lovely day there, it seems! :)

@alexwolfe Ok.. so… I don’t know how to rate things… I can’t compare a romcom to an action movie and I feel like that should make sense but maybe it doesn’t. I watch shows often to disconnect from the craziness that is life… I roll my eyes at a lot of stuff, but if I can put myself in that world for a little while, it works for my purpose. Maybe I shouldn’t recommend TV shows because I don’t know what makes them good or bad. :)

@Miraz Oh, I enjoyed this. More than I expected to. :)

@manton Thank you. It has definitely gotten better, but there are indeed still struggles to work through. I am sorry your mom passed away too, I remember your posts close to when that happened. I hope it has gotten easier for you as time has passed.

@manton I just saw I wasn’t alone. :)

@manton Weird AI looks a whole lot like Weird Al and I was trying to figure out if you saw him at Panda Express or something for a half second. Ha!

@iChris Were they speaking to a small child? Hopefully? How else would you convince them? :)

@alexandra I have a ton of passwords and I store them in an app that’s hopefully secure. But the point about having so many… I hate that I have so many. I want fewer apps, fewer things I need to monitor/keep track of. I regularly think I’d like to get rid of my “smart” phone, but it’s a requirement of my job that I have an authentication app on my phone. (I’m saying this as a person who works on software for a living.)

@akkana I haven’t seen one of these since I was a kid, but they sure bring up happy memories.

@alexwolfe That’s just so fun! When I lived very close to the coast, it was mostly just big cruise ships that would make the news. I’m sure I missed some more interesting ones though.

@akkana We had some unexpected cattle walk through our camp site somewhere up there close to 25 years ago. I assumed they belonged to someone. I wonder.

@alexwolfe ooh, look at that! Wow!

@Miraz I hope she’s cured!

Yeah, no fun but I’ll feel more comfortable knowing the outcome!

@Miraz The sound as the water starts to retreat… I love it.

@iChris I’ll be tuning in to see what’s next. I’ve enjoyed seeing your face when I log into micro.blog. It’s believed that babies prefer looking at faces from day one so maybe it’s just a part of being human, but also your selfies provide a nice bit of contrast to most of the posts I see on here. I don’t take a lot of selfies unless I want to test a sarcastic photo to my kids. I never post them online, but I generally think that’s probably a mistake on my part. I’m still trying to figure out how to come across as a real person and what that means for me on here and selfies are wrapped up in all the complications related to this bigger struggle.

@leefeagin My daughter heard the theory that everyone thinks they are a temporarily embarrassed rich person somewhere. I think about that often.

@jimmitchell Vacations are hard for the calendar. I usually end up working an extra long day the day before PTO.

@annahavron Ok. I really like this idea. I suspect after a year someone might be able to recognize what I scribbled in 60 seconds.

@gogobonobo Beautiful night.
