Your "apps" ponderings are so engaging to me as it is something I think about a lot as well. Also I loved your casino analogy, it really captures a feeling

Thank you @manulzone. It's something that feels more foreign to me the less I have engaged with social media over time.

It seems like you are doing well Sauer, that is good to hear. I struggle to indulge in plant propagation as much as I am invlined to do bc I am afraid of suddenly having to move and abandoning my creatures. But you're right, peehaps I should be giving them away.

Propagating plants to give them away has been fun (it also makes me a little sad because it feels like I'm missing something looking at the hole it leaves). I also get teeny tiny figurines from the thrift store to decorate around the plant.

how lovely to read about your travels! side note, air becomes thinner at higher elevations; if you're not used to that sort of mountainous atmosphere, it's very common to experience extra windedness or other side effects. my mom gets headaches up high and i'm glad that your side effects were relatively mild !

Hi Roccie! Yes that aligns with my experience, it felt like there physically wasn't enough air, and I guess there wasn't! That's neat, I didn't know that.

Reading this made me regret not picking up licorice at the store !! I've been seeing a lot of water boatmen as well, they get quite big !

I've sort of fallen into a pattern now that whenever I see black licorice at a store and I don't already have some at home, I'll get it haha. They do get big! The first one startled me because I didn't recognize it for the size

For science, I put a whole lemon (instead of a quarter) and half a bulb of garlic (instead of 2 cloves) in a food processor with a can of chickpeas, a buncha olive oil, and some salt. 2nd round of covid seems to have cured my centuries-long battle with vampirism. Oh, but I still couldn't taste it, only feel my heart burn lol

i'm not a scientist but that sounds like the makings of a tasty concoction. perhaps some sort of, humm...is this--what is the word i'm looking for?

Ah yes, good ol hummus. The peanut butter of pita. I'll have to take your word for it being tasty, on account of my lack of taste
