It's crazy how strongly the brain tries to protect us from old stresses, without us being consciously aware of it.

I'm glad you don't need to move every year anymore! It's one of those normalized things that truly shouldn't be. I mean, it's not the avocado toast that's keeping homeownership out of reach, it's the constant moving/application/deposit/etc fees we face so often

I can't throw boxes away because I've moved so many times to avoid rising rental costs. I'm packing again right now, and it's really nice to have the little inserts that kind of stabilize the consoles in their boxes

Get out of my head!

For real though, ADHD life is about being a hacker in the least sexy ways possible

That's actually a valid prefix issued for Florida in '81

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause toes to curl into claws. There's another autoimmune disorder that does this too, but I can't remember which. Lupus maybe? Which would be fitting by name alone

I wear combat boots made for first responders (Haix). They are about 3-4 times the cost of yours, but they are made in Europe. Anyway, I've had my oldest pair for over six years, and I put at least 10 miles on them on a day. The only upkeep they've needed so far is some conditioner. I have a ton of boots, but these are by far my favorites

I've worn them in the Arizona desert during summer, and in winter where I live (gets to -30F and colder)

Banh mi is so good. There was a little Vietnamese cafe nextdoor to a place I used to work, I went there every workday. I saved so much money after I moved to a different location xD

It looks like there are two idiots here

I honestly love the solitude that harsh winters bring. And all the heavy clothing I get to wear, the much longer nights, going through my stockpile of canned and preserved goods. There have been winters where I was snowed in for weeks, and they were glorious

It's true, the brain and body need extra care to prevent depression during winter, but I'm much more depressed during the long, blistering hot summer months

Facebook is damn near a necessity in the area I live because no one wants to host their own websites. I've still not given in to making an account, but I'm starting to feel the struggle of not being able to contact small businesses.

So, I can imagine some of those users are multiples of the same person if they also have an account for their business

Glyphosate too. Increasingly linked to Parkinsons, cancer, and endocrine disorders among other things.
