Yes I too have known many people of importance with whom I've never been romantically involved, but being romantically involved does go hand in hand with the term significant other. But 'other' rhymes with smother . . . and that is why I choose not to use it for loved ones. Although I have known lovers who became smothering significant others (can I breathe please?
) . . . I have encountered significant others I wanted to smother with a pillow
. My recent SO I refer to as my soulmate, someone I smother with love. We love eachother unconditionally. That is the key to true happiness . . . unconditional love. But my true SO is not of this world, someone I cannot mention due to TOS.
Spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning the 75 gal fish tanks. WAFM. Tonight was release the bugs night. I bought a tub of Ladybugs locally a week ago. Been holding them captive in the outdoor fridge. Tonight was a perfect night to set them free. Our potted patio plants are auto watered but gave them an extra misting and released the Ladybugs just minutes ago. Getting the strays off my arms was a challenge and a half. Ants protect/farm Aphids and Ladybugs eat Ahids. Bet I dream about bug wars tonight..
Hope it works for you!!
Are you trying to get rid of the aphids that way? - Wouldn't even know where to buy ladybugs here, but usually, they come to spend the winter in our window frames by late autumn anyways. One of the disadvantages of windows opening towards the outside, at least if you do actually want to open them now and then, without tons of sleepy (and quite smelly) ladybugs falling out. But it's probably good for the little critters. Weird how they get along with the huge spideys that also love to nest in there ... Maybe those bug wars you spoke of are happening silently, right under my nose? Hope not ...
Had some terrible, terrible dreams these past few nights, my wife also. Of walking through civil war cities full of bodies, and of my dead mum sort of coming back to life in my childhood home. I'll spare you the gruesome details. There's something oppressive in the air here atm. It was supposed to rain, finally, but it didn't, despite the heavy clouds. Maybe that's what's messing with our heads. And with the soul, because it worries me so much when that happens. I do so hope we're not in for another drought (sp?) period.
I'm so sorry. Lots of zombie apocalypse dreams for me, lately, too, but it's one of those themes that cycles through occasionally for me, so I didn't think much of it. I'll hope for rain and sweeter dreams for you both. It really bites when sleep isn't restful.
I read a LOT of horror when I was younger (I was the weird 8-year-old who could tell you anything you never wanted to know about ghosts and mythological monsters), and that upgraded to movies once I was old enough to get into them. I lost my taste for it when I became a parent, but apparently my brain retained it all as potential dream fodder.
Thank you! And sorry for you as well, it seems it's not a good time for sleeping peacefully, is it ...
BUT I got to sit a little bit on my tiny old sailboat yesterday! It hasn't been in the water due to illnesses and such for two years! Couldn't really do anything, of course, but just sitting there and swaying gently with the waves was bliss. Oh, I did do some cleaning, at least. Yay!
I'm so happy for you! I would absolutely throw up over the side (I get motion sickness on playground swings, even) but it always seemed like that would be a lovely, peaceful way to spend some time. I hope there's more of that incoming for you.
When I was a child nausea was my nemesis. Gravol and cod-liver oil was my Dad's remedy. Truth was, for me, motion sickness and eczema was just a temporary side-effect of trauma.
I have some very weird dreams too. We need to get this SH%t on paper. Put a pencil and paper by your nightstand and write. I was gifted with a photographic memory. If I lose something the picture of where it is pops up in my head. But remember a dream worth writing about? Never ever! Sometimes WHEN FOOLING MYSELF, I thought 'I can recall every single moment so I will rewind those until AM and then I will write them down. That NEVER works. No amount of caffeine can revive those magic moments. The most brilliant dreams suitable for storytelling just blow away like dust in the wind.
Once about 7 years ago I dreamed about a feral cat in the garage (that lived outside on the patio) growing into a giant huge overwhelming cat. When I can recall dreams I tend to think they were a message/omen. Cats were a small part of my life. Now we have 12. Yes it was a premonition. Cats became a giant part of my life (when I was 16 (over half a century ago), saving kittens was my purpose in life) . And get this I am allergic to cats according to the test Doc ran. When I found out the remedy was a once a week shot with dander etc to build up immunity I decided to pet them weekly instead. Now I sleep next to several (turned Master Bedroom Bathroom into a Catio) and one sleeps in my bed. The other four are living within' 8 feet of where I work (next to former dining room). I don't believe in vaccines or meds for me, although hubby needs them I believe the body will battle what it needs unless we teach it to be lazy or unless we suffer extreme trauma that overwhelms the brain.
I think some of my dreams have been influenced by TV lately. Like that dream I had about being in a shootout. It reminded me of Beverly Hills Cop. And I’ve learned I shouldn’t watch certain shows before bedtime. Like The Last Of Us. But I wouldn't dream about zombies. I'd dream my salad had bad mushrooms.
NylonGirl if you are ever downunder you need to try Erin Patterson's recipe for Beef Wellington
you will never eat a tastier meal ever again
the wild mushrooms are to die for
Beverly Hills Cops is one of my favs. Love Eddie Murphy. In my book Charmed, Maxwell Farley was based on Axel Foley LOL
Maybe I will sleep tonight Catio is finished. Two stories high. Sneak sliver-of-a-peek. Two huge catios on left and right at bottom.
...
Too funny! Yes that's exactly how it happened!
@everyone else. I had the most expensive fish and chips today. Stopped for a takeout, left and as leaving parking lot hubby says, They forgot the 2nd side.
Every now and the I take our our Tundra truck, big wheels raised etc, for a spin because normally I take the van and the sitting truck battery dies a lonely death. Anyway, back to the incompleter fish order. I stop, reverse, back into an empty area no cars left or right and my trailer hitch hits something. I pull away get out and find a small honda hybrid 2025 with a one inch dent in the front fender near the grill. It was in my blindspot ( too low to see). I decide to walk back to the California Fish Grill and see if they know who owns this honda parked out in the middle of nowhere. I was wondering how many places in the center I would have to walk to looking for the owner. Get this . . It was the person who filled our order and forgot the side. She was so upset I decide to not bother asking for the side we paid for. She parked out there to keep the two week old car safe (brother lent it to her). A 1.5 inch gash makes the classic fish and chips our most expensive meal ever.
So I reported the claim yesterday to Triple A and today I get a text from the owner of the damaged vehicle, suggesting we avoid insurance companies and just agree on 400.00 settlement for the damage because he does not want to involve insurance for a minor accident. What am I missing here? If I had a new 2 week old 2025 Honda Civic parked, and hit, I would want a new bumper, and a rental while repairs happened. Why want to settle for cash? I don't get it . . . I shared the text with the adjuster who said you can settle and not go thru insurance, but I agree it does sound odd.
It was a parked car though. So it wouldn't matter if the driver was drunk, didn't have insurance, or didn't have a license.
Truth... but does the car owner know that? I've dealt with the public too long to assume that the common sense possessed by a banana is in play.
It could just be that they are young (that wasn't clear) and perhaps their parents are paying in whole or part for the car and/or insurance (which would not be unusual from what I gather), so they don't want the parents finding out about this and probably giving them long lectures or complaining because they were not following whatever agreements they had made about the use of the car..
Speculation
this isn't even a wild guess at placing a tail with a pin and a blindfold
everyone, me included has gone off on their own far fetched story arc drawn with a compas so widely splayed it could take an eye out
well it's useful for something
I think she is just parroting back what we all posted in this very thread. Doesn't it sound rather familiar?
true it is specualtion, though it is about a real world event that appeared to be worrying ArtAngel a bit so my inclination was to allow it to put the oddity in some perspective - that it need not be sinister. The whole thread is off-topic anyway, and most of the pontificating is not accusative.
I will flag myself up for the rest of the team to review, though, especially for the more accusative theories.
But really, where in the forum guidelines does it prohibit speculation?
OK, after some debate (and getting the wrong link so we ended up pulling everything for a while) we have trimmed out the bits that were making speculative accusations, especially as most of them were missing that the car was unoccupied at the time and left the musings on what might be going on.
As for why we remove speculation, on on-topic stuff at least, the problem is that it is very often taken as true and leads to piling Pelion on Ossa as further speculations are added onto the original as if it was a secure foundation.
This reminds me of a story I heard some years ago about a person who was arrested. The officers had to specify what crime the person was arrested for. After going down the entire list of crimes in their database, they couldn’t find one that fit that situation. So they just picked one.
