I certainly don't like everything new, or everything old.  Its a valid point though that maybe there's nothing new under the sun, people just rediscover things from wayyyyy back hundreds of years ago and think its new.  I also don't dislike everything old or everything new, I like a bit of both and dislike a bit of both.

I've never liked them, the fake cream isn't my jam so to speak.  My husband loves them and he likes milk with them.  Sometimes when we go down to see his parents we buy some and Logan and his dad share them secretly while I keep my MIL busy in the other room so she won't catch my FIL eating them.

I do enjoy it when men open doors for me.  Or when anyone else opens doors for me.  Or when I can open doors for others.  Its all a way of creating pleasantness.

I agree that people not saying thank you for things is really irritating.  Its not that I am greedy for complaments its just the right thing to do when one person helps another.  If I buy someone dinner I expect at thank you for goodness sake, just as I say thank you when someone buys me food or cooks for me or shares with me.  I've always told my parents thank you for dinner once I got into like middle school or high school, I don't remember when it started I just did it because I was bigger so I felt like it made sense, like once you're not little anymore you should have a certain politeness skill set and also be able to adapt it to whatever your hosts expect.

How about a black bear. So cute.  Or a little orca whale.

This is a classic show from Canada that I enjoyed as a kid.  I even had the movie, Duct Tape Forever where they enter that contest and build a giant goose out of duct tape!

Welcome to permies Stephen.  This looks like it was a great place to raise kids and I hope you soon find a new person or family to be the next occupant.

Welcome to permies Naomi.  I hope you can find the right person to live in this special house next, and I hope you will grow to be happy where you have to move for work and find things there that give you enjoyment.

Welcome to permies Brock.

So my life finally feels like its back on track.  The pain and other complications are gone, but its possible that things won't ever fully be back to how they were before stuff went sideways.  The dr. says its possible that improvement in the offending body part could still occur, I hope it does.  At any rate I feel like me again and I'll take that, even if its never quite my old normal, that's how disability life goes sometimes, you treasure what you _can do and when it becomes a tad less you do your best and work around it, but its improved from how awful it was in Jul. and Aug. and honestly I can choose to be content with that.

I performed at the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire last weekend on the edge of Monmouth OR, King's Valley.  Lots of fun of course and it really reset me and made things better for my outlook.  Definite rainage though.

This coming weekend I'll be performing at Realms Unknown, a fantasy festival in Woodland WA, Fri, Sat, Sun.  If you've ever been to Faerieworlds back in the day that is what this festival is rather like, including cool art installations, evening concerts, usual fantasy faire stuff during the day, lots of fun!  People can get day passes or camp all weekend.

If you live in OR or WA (or if your name on facebook is the same as here so I know who you are) feel encouraged to send me a friend request on facebook.  I'm Riona Abhainn on there

Welcome to permies Steven.  I'm so sorry this happened to you.  Sometimes people need to use things like gofundme.  There's also a platform called Ready Set Give that you could try if you want.  I hope the lawyer helps you get everything sorted out and you get your house back or at least the money you spent.
