In tv commercials? For most things i think price varies a lot by location. Sometimes we see commercials for cars or a six flags season pass that have amounts.

Frosting!!

I’ve been really struggling at work lately. I’m not ready to retire but it sucks so bad and I’m super stressed over it. I spent yesterday cleaning out 95% of my 15k emails. Seeing so many messages from longtimers that have moved on made me realize that we all come and go and maybe it’s time for me to go- and it doesn’t have to be in an “I’m outta here!” way; just looking for a change.

I’m so excited!! It’s beginning to feel like it might really happen!!

In Texas we’re at almost 3 million votes! My family is going this afternoon.

It sounds so dumb, but it really works for me. I can almost always put myself back to sleep now within a few minutes- except for the nights when I’m really mad at work and, instead of doing the process, i wallow in the misery of insomnia as if that’s somehow hurting the people I hate.

I get in a good position and get my pillow and covers just right. I take 3 breaths and focus really really hard on my breathing. I take 10 breaths to focus on relaxing, being calm, and feeling the comfort of my pillow, the weight of my covers, and how good my bed feels. I start at my feet (both feet on a regular night or one at a time if I’m really struggling) and for 3 breaths i relax them and feel their weight sink into the bed. Then i work my way up, moving to my ankles, lower legs, knees, … taking 3 breaths at each one…and I’m usually asleep before upper legs. The hardest part was learning to focus hard on each breath, in and out, and each feeling, so it fills up your brain and other thoughts won’t fit. If something else creeps in, i reset with 3 focusing breaths, then continue.

Darkness Falls scared the crap out of me in 2003, when i was 32. I spent the next 22 years unable to go to bed without turning the light on over the stairs. Then we moved to a one-story house.

My husband said the caterpillars with the Cheshire Cat. 🤷

I spent about a year practicing going back to sleep. I’ve become pretty good at it, but my job is very sucky right now, so sometimes i forget to turn that off and do the steps.

Its ok to be sad and to take as much time as you need. Everyone’s grief looks different. It’s really hard and I hope you have family or friends you can spend time with.

Copacabana. I’ve had it for about 8 years. Drives my husband crazy that i can’t stop singing it.

First step is voting!

Good read, but disappointed that it’s not really about a machine that will dance for me.

All of those fuckers should have to watch it!

My friend refers to this as - Don’t be stupid while you’re being stupid.

Singulair daily, then add in as needed flonase, clairitin, itch topical, then inhaler. Remember that allergies (and migraines) are like a long island iced tea- it’s not one thing that gets you; it’s all of them together.

Friend had a safe word because she wouldn’t poop at other people’s homes.

Sometimes mine spins and then posts twice. Sometimes i realize that I’m replying to the wrong comment. Sometimes the typos and autocowrongs are so bad that it’s unintelligible. Sometimes the written words don’t come across the way i intended. 🤷

I don’t normally put ice in it. Just regular tap water. It’s refreshing.

If you have water going to your toilet you should be able to install a bidet seat. Easy peasy.
