I just got 2 peasant dresses--one blue and one red for Christmas. I'm loving them. Normally they wouldn't be warm enough for most Wyoming winter days, but this winter is so warm, they are perfect.
Is this just fluke cold/hot/windy/snowy/rainy weather in the US or around the globe? Is it just one fluke winter or a new wild trend? It just seems so crazy abnormal.
I know how to deal with cold. Negative Fahrenheit temperatures and 40+ mph winds are normal winter weather for us.
I hope he/she is OK.
It is raining in Wyoming in January. This is not normal. What is up with the weather?
I just can't get over the weather this year. We had 79 F in Colorado Monday and it rained last night in Wyoming on the day after Christmas. This is unheard of.
I know other areas are getting much colder or much snowier than usual. Is this a fluke year or the sign of something worse? I'm not sure.
She was doing very well until her last year or two and was doing reasonably well until her last week.
I love dark chocolate. My current favorite is Equal Exchange 92% dark chocolate.
I recently bought some dates and dipped them in this super dark chocolate. Yum! I'll be doing that again.
My husband's grandma renewed her driver's license at 102 and would drive the old ladies to church. She lived on the old homestead in Eastern Colorado until a week before passing at 105.
The informed know enough to know they don't know everything. The uninformed don't know enough to know what they don't know.
There has actually been a study on the subject. Those who know least generally rate themselves as knowing the most and those that know the most generally rate themselves as not knowing the subject well. This is true until you get to the true subject matter experts, who start rating themselves higher.
1 is fun.
I don't know why, but I love when someone asks the temperature and I can answer 1 F. I don't know that it is my favorite temperature to actually hang out in, but I find incomprehensible joy out of reporting the temperature of 1 F.
Send the snow our way. We are having a heat wave with high winds.
It is amazing how "old" keeps getting older every decade. Based on two relatives, once you hit 100, you embrace old because you are still here.
Lucky you. We're wearing shorts in Colorado. It made it up to 79 F yesterday. We won't be having a white Christmas this year.
Gold is up.
Silver is up, up. and probably going up much higher due to demand being higher than production by a lot, and because there are way more paper claims on silver than there is physical silver and people seem to be starting to figure that out, so they are converting paper claims to holding physical silver leaving even less physical silver for every paper claim.
Our weather has also been abnormally warm (more like late September - early October) and then for the past week, we have had really high winds. We are regularly windy in the winter, but this has been windier and the super windy weather has lasted much longer. It looks like we'll have the crazy wind at least for another week.
What is up with the weather?
And, at least for me, that would taste better.
It isn't about evidence. It is about wanting to be God instead of submitting to God, just like the first sin.
I've seen the same division and thought that we have irreconcilable differences and would be better off if the US split into 2 or more nations. It seems impossible that a nation can continue when two sides think the other side's tightly held morals are evil.
You do make an interesting argument about the division preventing totalitarianism. I'll have to think about that.
My husband and I used to make fun of people with artificial Christmas trees, but our current house looks best with a really tall tree, but it can't cover too much floor space. We need tall, but skinny. Real trees don't come that shape. If they did, they'd be insanely expensive, so we just have an artificial tree now. I do miss the smell of the real trees. I don't, however, miss the needles everywhere.
We got some nice pictures and video and my niece organized them all into a great video with music. It was fun to watch.

Last Thursday, we had a mega outage in our state. It took out almost 100,000 households, which is a lot, since our state has only a little over 500,000 people. I think the household count included some households in SD and MT as well. Two transformer switches failed, causing wild voltage shifts (our lights went on and off and electronics made strange noises for almost a full minute), then the power went out. It caused a major fire at the local power plant destroying one of the four turbines at our power plant. At first there was a rumor that the power plant blew up, but only 1 of 4 turbines were severely damaged, so the power came back 4-5 hours later.
It did make me think about what would happen if the power plant truly was taken out completely. I also realized we have a major problem with the charge controller/inverter for our backup solar system that is supposed to keep the refrigerators/freezers running in an outage. I've got to find time to do something about that.
Our high is only supposed to be 43 F.
His biggest problem when interviewing is he is so humble, he down talks his ability while everyone else exaggerates theirs. He is very good at what he does and exceptionally easy to work with. He is a great team builder. He thinks like a computer, so he is perfect for programming, but confuses non-technical people with his hyper-literalness. He just needs to learn to sell himself a bit.
Yes.
He may have an idea, but I don't.
You are probably OK, especially if you have a healthy gut.
Then it must've been spectacular because that is a gorgeous picture.
We're having soup tonight. The high was 46 F. The low is in the 30s. The next to mornings will get close to freezing. We'll see if we go below freezing since we live in the river valley and the cold tends to sink to the lowest point.
I only do nostr on my desktop, but that is what I use.
That's what I'm using. It has all of the basic function I need, but it doesn't handle threads as well as Coracle (unless I'm just using it wrong), so I feel like I spend most of my time entering in the middle of a conversation. There are also some people that used to regularly be in my feed that aren't. I'm trying to figure what is wrong, if I'm missing the right relay or something. I don't know. Hopefully I will eventually get it working to my liking. Coracle wasn't perfect at first either when I lost the previous client that stopped working.
That is what I'm using, but it doesn't seem to give me the conversation flow as well as Coracle did. I feel like half of my feed is coming into the middle of a conversation, so I am missing the deeper conversations that I used to have.
We caught ourselves not teaching enough skills to our sons. Too often we would just fix something ourselves because it was easier than taking the time to teach. That was a big mistake. We ended up paying for our eldest son to take two classes taught by a plumber friend of ours that taught how to change the oil, and tires, and a few other things on a car, how to do maintenance on a lawn mower. how to install a sink and a faucet. How to install a light switch and a light fixture. How to repair and install drywall. How to maintain a bicycle, and a bunch more. Half of it we could have taught him if we'd only taken the time.
We did better on household chores like laundry, cooking, cleaning, money management, etc.
We definitely need to be intentional on training our kids and take the extra time to train them, even if that is watching a youtube video to figure our how to do something we don't know how to do.
All sin pretty much comes down to us trying to take the place of God.
I'm still here because I believe in the principle, but I will admit that I am getting frustrated that every time I find a client that works well for me, I get used to it, and enjoy it, and then it will suddenly stop working completely.
How does every client become 100% nonfunctional at some point? I understand someone might stop adding features, but they completely stop working. It is so frustrating.
Since Coracle failed, I haven't found a client that works as well or gives me as good a feed and interaction with others.
Imagine vvvvaxxxxing your kid instead of letting them build natural immunity by drinking dirt water filled with sticks and leaves.
Luka does what he wants. He is ungovernable.

When my kids were little, they weren't being careful and spilled some kind of dry food on the carpet in our dealership. I immediately quipped, "You'd better eat every last piece that you spilt on the floor."
There are 2 thoughts on germs and kids: avoid germs at all cost or bury your kids in germs so they have a strong immune system. I guess you can tell which camp I belong to.
Sorry for you loss.
My grandmother lived to 103 and my husband's grandmother lived to 105. They both had so much wisdom and experience from the lives they lived. That experience is greatly missed.
I do still have major issues with stairs and uneven ground, but I'm very happy with my healing progress.
I used to have chickens (mostly Buff Orpingtons) and loved having them. Their happy "cluck, cluck, cluck" was so peaceful and of course I liked the eggs and meat (my family prefers dark meat and Buff Orpingtons have giant thighs and drumsticks, but smaller breasts). Unfortunately, I developed a lung allergy to bird dander and had to choose between eggs and breathing after spending around 2 months on steroids' and oxygen.
I had texted my eldest son, who is attending Liberty University to ask if he had any plans for the holiday weekend.
He replied, "What holiday?"
I answered, "Labor Day"
He replied, "At Liberty University, we don't celebrate communist workers day."
I laughed.
He responded again, "Maybe we do celebrate Labor Day by actually doing labor."
I love my son and highly recommend Liberty University if you are going to send your kids to school. It is quite possibly the least woke university in the US.
My current favorite chocolate is Equal Exchange 92% Cacao. It only has 3 ingredients: Cacao, sugar, vanilla. It doesn't have any of the garbage.
We are definitely seeing this today. It has been partially muted since Trump has been in office, but it is still everywhere.
Wyoming has the best night skies -- low humidity, clear skies, high altitude, and almost non-existent light polution.
Also, be careful because the Genius Act requires stable coins to have the technology to freeze, seize, or burn assets at the government's request. It looks to be a backdoor to a CBDC in the US. The US government won't own it, but they can view all transactions and steal your money if you don't fall in line.
It sounds very tasty, but be careful. Most US, conventional oats are desiccated in the field using roundup, so you may be ingesting a bunch of glyphosate, which can cause leaky gut and totally mess you up.

My old eyes freaked out at the church link cbcfc looked like cbdc. I was wondering "what kind of messed up church focuses on central bank digital currencies?" I'm glad it was just my bad eyes combined with the fact that I had just listened to a podcast on the subject.
Have a blessed church service.
I take extra zinc every day (with copper because zinc interferes with copper absorption).
I also really like
Genesis 1 - the foundation of who God is and everything else in the Bible.
Revelation 21 - what we have to look forward to in eternity.
I didn't feel the need to directly quote man, even if the Westminster Confession is quite good.
Life does have purpose beyond randomness. Our purpose is to serve our Creator and God and to worship Him forever.
I moved to South Florida where there were a lot of Cubans. French and Spanish are close enough, I could usually get the general idea from a Spanish conversation, but I couldn't speak Spanish because it would always come out with a French accent.
I can speak menu in multiple languages. Even if you can't say anything else, at least you can order some quality food.
