I'm replacing an electric one. Don't want the bill and hassle of changing to gas, and I hope to not live here too much longer anyways.
Are you also in California?
I was just thinking that I hope I don't need a permission slip to replace my broken water heater; and what I would say if someone showed up while I was changing it.

In the past I haven't ever really planned my garden, mostly because it is so small. I'm going to use a digital service this year and try to be more effective in my growing. Happy gardening!
Can I throw an additional controversial opinion in here?
Naturism (also known as nudism but there are some differences) can be a cure for both the men and women who are in this circumstance, and indeed can be a cure for many of these related problems.
You might think I'm crazy, but hear me out. If people are comfortable and confident in their own skin to the point of being completely nude around other completely nude people of all ages, sexes, races, physical handicaps, physical appearances, etc. they are going to have some pretty good self-confidence that can't be taken away from them. They'll also not be too likely to be going and seeking attention through using their bodies because they'll know that naturism is not about being sexy, in fact it is just as non-sexy as going to the supermarket, or work, or church.
Naturism teaches self-respect, respect for others, and respect for our environment. It has been used by many people to overcome problems with pornography, as well as self-loathing due to body dismorphia.
Many religious people have found it to enhance their faith, and if one studies the core beliefs, naturism doesn't conflict with any at all.
The need to be clothed at all times is just a societal construct that when overcome will free us of many issues like the one which you have brought up.
Some good starting places for more research are
aanr.com American Association for Nude Recreation
bn.org.uk British Naturism
naturistsociety.com The Naturist Society
mychainsaregone.org A great website about being free from a pornographic mindset.
They have certainly added a wide range of genres to choose from, as well as the collector/adult level builds. Enjoy the never ending blooms!
Thank you! And may He bless you and yours as well!
I do too, obviously since I shared it. Ha!
I like it because it shows that even in terrible circumstances peace can win the day. They were forced back into combat, but they had peace for a time, and of their own making.
The Christmas Truce of 1914 happened between obedient government agents on both sides of a terrible, mortal conflict. They realized that they had higher, shared interests and responsibilities to each other and humanity than their Caesarical overlords.
Not many of us are in a bombs and bullets fight for our lives, but still we can choose to set aside our differences and conflicts, whatever they are, and embrace each other as the brothers and sisters that we are.
The soldiers that exchanged gifts that Christmas were transfered and chastised, and the powers that were upped the ante of the conflict, making it even more gruesome and hellish than it had been.
In the age of the internet, the powers that be can try to censor us, but I have hope that humanity will win.
How can you have a Truce this Christmas?
How can your Truce last more than just a single day?
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Merry Christmas! 🎄

And already so many nooks and crannies, and rabbit holes to explore and get lost in! Thanks for the zap!
Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to.
I've been absent from nostr for awhile, so it seems like I joined a lot longer ago than only a half a year.
I see it now, I just overlooked it. Thanks! And yeah, I just had to scroll to find the first post.
Forgive my ignorance...
I found my stats there on nostr.band but do I just have to scroll all the way to the beginning until I find that "first active"?
I'm still not familiar with how to do much on nostr. How does one find their nostrversary?

If not could you share what calendar it is? I'd love to have something like that in my home.
I'd also like to mention that the person who said "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." clearly never heard of Sam Gamgee.
I hate the political system we have in the U.S.A. so for awhile I've been contemplating creating a new political party, not expecting victory but just wanting to raise awareness. Tonight, I just came up with a couple of great campaign slogans.
The Garden Party.

Democrats are like DDT,

This is so wonderful!
Y'all will have great times, y'all will have terrible times, but stay close to each other's hearts, talk about everything, be forgiving and graceful and y'all will have a beautiful life!
