Ah, we’re not quite adventurous enough to grow our own, but we buy the raw ingredients (aside from plantain, which grows wild where we live).

Mine can’t be left alone with bread.

My wife and I have been experimenting with making our own. So far, my favorite is chamomile, lemon balm, elderberry, and a little stevia.

I tried a new one last night that might take the lead with some tweaking: nettle, lemon balm, ginger, and cinnamon. Gotta get the proportions right, but the combination was pretty good.

…Abigale?

That’s one of the problems, for sure. First-past-the-post is a terrible voting system, and the electoral college is a mess. Unfortunately, I can’t blame those problems for the outcome of this election. Trump won decidedly–the larger percentage of American people want him, as unfortunate as that is.

That’s the problem–it wouldn’t matter. Trump isn’t the problem, the problem is a huge percentage of the country who wants to elect him. If it’s not him, it’ll be someone just as bad. Hell, I wouldn’t put it past people to vote Putin himself in.

That’s the thing–it’s more than bug fixing. They’re reworking a large amount of the content. I’ll probably pick it back up in a few months and see how it’s coming.

My other “dailies” include Rogule, Mazelle, and Hexcodle. Sometimes Decipher as well. Check them out!

Surprise, I’m both!

“What’s your gender?”

“Canadian.”

“No, who do you like?”

“Donuts.”

“No no, what’s in your pants?”

“Polite manners.”

Your talk of big feelings resonates with me–historically I’ve been the same way. In my case, I eventually realized that I was putting so much of myself into relationships (or even potential relationships) because I didn’t have many other strong relationships in my life (similar situation–far from family, I moved around a lot). I found that I was putting a ton of weight on relationships because I was subconsciously expecting them to fill a ton of emotional needs. That ended up putting unreasonable pressure on my partners, and I felt unable to take things at the pace I wanted.

Not sure if you’re in the same boat, but if you don’t feel like you have a solid group of (nonromantic) friends, I’d suggest considering that. As others have said–big feelings are normal enough, but when you have a solid support system in your life, it’s a lot easier to ride those waves.

I have a Bose Mini Soundlink. It’s held up for years and years.

“Hey baby… wanna watch Netflix and dismantle the patriarchy?”

Flying or regular?

I’ve never been mauled by a mayo.

Yeah, we did stuff like that too. Then people started breaking contracts, and things got ugly.

Settlers can be played pretty competitively–stuff like building a settlement in a “bad” position just to mess up someone working to build next to that spot, stuff like that.

The friction in Monopoly mainly comes down to our table rules, specifically that you can make any deal verbally you want (though there’s no guarantee the other party will follow through).

Monopoly and Settlers. Both very cutthroat at family gatherings.
