Looking at the bitcoin price chart, and apparently bitcoin became a stable coin yesterday 🤣

Life doesn't need to be hard.

There are certain moments that are hard, but it's actually a choice to experience all of life as hard, and that is not a choice I'm interested in making.

I saw someone's post a while back that's said, "Weak men are hard on others. Great men are hard on themselves."

Nah, I disagree. Both of those sound like they're in the negative to me.

Actually great men, amazing men, know how to be kind to themselves and others. They can work hard, but with kindness and compassion with themselves.

Jesus worked hard, but he was kind to himself and did actually set boundaries that allowed him to take the breaks he needed.

Yes, no creatures allowed!!!

I just went through the rest of our book with Grammarly, 6 whole chapters, and got to the last chapter and realized it has no conclusion 😅🤣

Well, great, now I can add on!

I'm so excited to being this close to being done with this book.

At first, I thought I'd be done within a few weeks/months of this year, but then I started taking breaks because I wasn't sure how well I was writing it, and I didn't really feel confident or excited about writing about certain topics I had previously selected to put into the book.

I don't think it's the perfect book, but I do think it's decent and does bring value! It's a great first attempt at a nonfiction book!

Time to write a conclusion and then move on to the remaining steps! 😊

We are the most influenced by the people we spend the most time with.

I don't want to be a critical person, hence, I don't like hanging out with critical people.

There's a reason I'm on Nostr and not X 😇

I'm pretty sure I live in Dune 😅

Yesterday we drove into town and literally had to stop on the street because the dust cloud that passed the road was so think we actually couldn't see through it!

Usually we can kinda see through it...

Ehm, can we just skip next week? 😅

We frequently ask at grocery stores 🤣

Then when they say no, we go, "It would be so much smoother if you did!"

Yeah, my first thought when I heard was, "Everyone gets a non wire brush cleaner for Christmas" but that's still a ways out...

I'm kinda glad I don't go to a lot of BBQs 😅 I might be doing the same as you!

I saw someone's video where he tried to make a 100% American sourced gril cleaner and mentioned how bad those wire brushes can be.

Horrible to hear you had to pull one out of your gums, but I'm really glad it didn't go down your digestive system!!!!

Today I finished going through 2 more chapters with Grammarly, so I'm almost halfway done!

Then I saw some fireworks while we chatted in the car before went shopping.

If we make it into town, we make sure to also get food, as we're still having some car trouble 😔

Then we drove home through the warzone left behind by the heavy rain and flooding that happened a few nights ago. We had brought our shovels just in case, but managed to get to and from town without needing to use them.

Now some food and sleep before getting up to another Tutoring lesson early tomorrow! 🤗😃

I don't think I'm quite at a wobble yet, but I have starting to feel a little off while walking 😅

I look forward to meeting out son! 🥰

We needed a change of scenery so we went into Starbucks in town.

As we stood in line, a small group of Koreans came in and stood behind us!

My husband took the opportunity to chat with them in Korean. It's so fun hearing him converse with Koreans! I follow somewhat, but I don't know enough to really add more than Hi, and bye 😅🤣

Saw a chipmunk laying pressed against the ground, back legs behind it, tail wagging in the wind. 🐿

I'm guessing it was simply trying to not go flying in the wind... but I'm a little suspicious of another reason also being involved.

I'm pretty sure it was moping because we moved the chair so it can't come into our motorhome anymore!!!

Waking up from a nap by having a chipmunk launch itself off of my foot was not my idea of a nice wakeup call!!!! 😬

Yeah, they keep changing it.

A few weeks ago they literally redid my entire learning path, claiming I have learned things that I never actually learned. I'm still using it because it's the best I've found, but I went all the way back to the beginning where now I'm learning new things it claims I'm legendary in, but I never learned it through Duolingo!

Yes, and open source, privacy friendly language app would be awesome!!!

Yes, if you want to see freedom expressed, look at cats, they know how to express freedom really well! 😎🤣

I reached 1200 days of Duolingo last night! 🥳🥳🥳

I'm learning Korean, but I'm not following Duolingo's timeline. I stick on one lesson until I'm actually familiar with the words they try to teach me, which might end up being weeks at times, so I haven't made it very far.

I've also learned a bunch of words from my husband, and from watching Korean shows, so it's kinda fun when they later show up in Duolingo and I am already familiar with them 😎

Learning can be hard, but realizing I already know something is fun 😎

Hubby just made me lunch, and I feel satisfied!!! 🥰

Any other wives cash in their husbands collected brownie points and make him brownies? 😇😎

It's a fun and tasty way to honor and celebration all his little wins, so I highly recommend it 😎 plus, as the wife, I get brownies too 😇

I gotta make some soon again.

Watching youtube and the dude just added a little speach about interacting to get YouTube to support him or to go to patreon to support him directly....

I'm so glad we don't need to do any of that here on Nostr! 🤗

If someone likes what I posted and wants to zap me, it's 100% their choice, and it's integrated in the platform! Easy!

No need to beg or send people elsewhere 😎

So, after our recent experiences with how wild the rain and flooding gets here, regardless of our preference, I think it's gonna be a great idea to prepare ourselves for a potential unassisted home birth, because driving through rivers wouldn't be a good idea for us or anyone trying to get to us. 😅

Anyone have some good resources for unassisted or free birth (I think that's the other name for it)?

We woke up at about 3:30am last night to an incredible lightning show!

The rain was also hitting us like a firehose.

Usually we've had rain pass us by but it's pretty quick, but last night it just kept going and going, with really bright lightning flashes going off every few seconds.

4th of July is tomorrow, but I guess the weather started the celebration last night 🤣🤣🤣

Ah, yes! That might be the key I was missing!!! 🤣

I need to figure out how to connect my phone to the outside, cause I wanna catch some of all of this lightning going on outside. Maybe I could reach a full bitcoin if I could just harness it 🤔🤣😎😇🤣

Well, our system is already a little too small. It was 104f two days ago, so we ran the AC too late and was quite low when yesterday it was 102f and partially cloudy so we ran out of at least one battery last night, and then today it was mostly overcast and in the 90s.

Our 4 batteries made it to 80% today. Usually we have crypto mining going all day and we eventually get to 100%, but we shut that down, plus barely ran the AC, and some other things, and still didn't reach 100%.

I'm looking for recommendations for American sourced and made baby products.

Most things that claim American made are actually made from imported goods, so if you know of some products that are actually sourced from America too, please let me know!!!! 😃

Because then, not only can they feed you crap, they can get you hooked on artificial drugs to help you deal with the consequences of the original crap, followed by more drugs to deal with the side effects of the first drugs, and so on...

We bitcoiners will be some of the earliest healthy people, because our incentives are to being good value, not extortion!

Since getting into bitcoin, and Nostr, I now find myself extremely sceptical of any websites that wants my information!

Yesterday I was looking something up on a pregnancy website and they have a chat function. I had a quick question so I opened their chat....

THEY WANTED MY HOME ADDRESS to ask a question!??!? No! I barely wanna give my email address, but unless I'm ordering a product that I want showing up at my home, there is no reason for anyone to have my home address! 😬

🤣 I love my funny mind 😎🤣

How to avoid needing to use a doctor while birthing a child. Keep eating an apple a day 🤣🤣🤣

We only have 1 credit card because there's no fee if we don't use it, and if we are ever in a situation where we need to rent a car, they require it.

Otherwise we don't use it! We only use what we actually have.

Yes, the vibe of the cat is awesome!! 😎

Does bots have a right to free speech, or is it only humans? 🤔

Thank you!!! 😊

I suppose so. 🤔😎

I was thinking more of the cook book part of it, but I suppose by adding zap-ability, it would also be a type of zap book. I like your thinking.

Wow, it seems it went back u to 109k 🤔

Eh, just no. 🤣

Thanks for clarifying how confusing it would be!

I'm an author, but so far this year, I've been paid more from zaps on Nostr than actual book sales. The one book I sold so far was through Nostr, so I'm counting that one separately.

So, technically I am getting paid for my writing, but I'm getting paid more for short ideas here than the books that took months to years and lots of editing to put together.

I probably need better marketing 😅

Did you know that I've written 2 novels??

Just realized that Jack Dorsey basically paid for our coffee shop visit today!

Last night I got a 5225 sat zap from him, and we checked and it came out to about $5.03. Today we went to Starbucks and our charge was $5.02 😎

We didn't spend those exact sats, but it's still a fun realization 😊

That is where Bitcoin comes in. But yes, people in the system will use the system until it fails as it will. Those of us who leave the system now will show the potential for the others, but it's always a choise.

I'm glad these do not apply to me.

I want number go up so when I use money I have more sats left after.

I look forward to when more people use it, so I can pay directly instead of needing to buy dollars to purchase food.

Thank you. Yes, he enjoyed how quickly I responded 😎
