That's so cool! And yes, where we grow up brings certain views of reality that once we go other places proves to be a local thing.
I've often thought this of the people who believe in overpopulation, because they've only ever been in a huge city, and never driven across the country and seen the vast empty land that covers most areas between the coasts.
Sounds like you basically grew up in the opposite situation to those city dwellers.
That's really cool to hear about. I grew up in Sweden but have traveled through like 35 states with my husband the last 3 years, so we've seen a lot, and it's interesting hearing about the difference between places, and what's considered normal! 😃 thanks for sharing!
I thought Arizona would be cheaper than California. Registering a car is cheaper, but insurance is about double!! Sales and restaurant taxes are higher. but buying an actual home and land is way cheaper, at least in mohave county.
Not paying taxes to the corrupt government of California is also a plus, so I guess we'll stay here for now 😅😎
Yeah, that makes sense.
I'd kinda like some better words for the different stages of friendships. With romantic relationships, there's interested, dating, in a relationship, engaged, and married.
I can only think of acquaintance, friend and best friend right now, but I'd like some more.
I've been looking for American sourced and made clothing since moving here. It's super hard to find! And a lot of websites that promote it end up still mixing some in imported fabrics in some of their items. It's quite frustrating. So if someone manages to actually go 100% sourced and made in America, that's commendable!!
I've gone directly to cotton farms that sell bedding and a limited amount of clothing, as those seem safer than most actual clothing companies.
But you say these shirts are from American fabrics?! That's amazing!! It's a feat to just put together 300 shirts, but from American made fabrics too?! Well done!!! 🤗🤗🤗
When I was younger I would have dreams where I felt awkward, or like I didn't really belong, or like I didn't qualify to be there or with those people.
Recently I've noticed how I've been really confident in my dreams. I belong, and I'm even taking charge.
Since marrying my husband, I have realized that I'm actually a big dog. I always was but I didn't know it. I was like one of those golden retrievers who think they're tiny and wanna be a lap dog 🤣 but now I know my size, and that people around me actually see my size as well, but I'm kind, so they're not intimidated.
Most people are not scared of a golden retriever, though a German shepherd about the same size can cause tension.
I love how dreams reveal how I see myself. It's quite cool! 😃😎
We have free range cows in our neighborhood, and once we almost hit them as they were all gathered on the road in a deep wash, but I doubt whoever owns them would appreciate if we take one for ourselves 😅
The rabbits/hares and quails that run around might be less frowned upon, but no, we don't hunt.
But we're all friends here too though, right?! 😇🤣 just friends we haven't met in person yet...
I do still have a Facebook for a similar reason. But that doesn't mean I'm not actually having more fun on Nostr 😎
So when that group migrates to Nostr, she might come too 😇😎
By unvaxxed, you mean totally pure or just not the stupid 19 one?
I'm sad to say I got that one shortly before I learned better, but it did allow me to marry my husband, and then to get a greencard without needing to get any boosters, so I'm glad old me was naive 😅 now I'm super skeptical about all of it 😬
I'm glad you found an awesome one! ...A little sad she's not here for me to get to know though...
With how fast technology changes, who knows what will be out there in 10+ years. Good to keep them off it when they're small. It's unnecessary.
Are you going to Nostr meetups to find her? Might increase your chances 😎
Ah, so she sees you as her meme scavenger and collector so she doesn't need to do it. 😎 Fair enough.
Well, if it turns out you end up marrying someone who's already on Nostr, then I suppose your wife title was here, so sure! It can count 😎
Does she have those real life friends I've heard of instead?!
Like, close enough to hang out with without needing to use soacial media to stay in touch in between the crossing of the paths? 😃😯
Yes, Facebook has it's perks. I'm glad things worked out for your son!!
And they're usually pretty tragic stores, at least in my opinion!
They're all dying, except bitcoin. Bitcoin is the resurrection currency, as it has been believed to be dead lots of times, yet here it is 😎🤣
Is your wife on Nostr?
Now there's only duct tape 😔
I know it's great for fixing things, but maybe not for fixing dinner 😅🤣
