My mom died in April from Alzheimer's. I guess it's just one of the many ways people can die, and at least for me, it was pretty gradual, there was no moment where like an orchestra played a diminished chord and I realized she didn't know me anymore. Hoping this is similar to your experience, HW.

Yeah, it completely sucks when someone you love is there but also not there and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm sorry for your loss, I've been pretty lucky that most of the family members I've been close to who died were pretty lucid all the way up to the end so I could continue to visit them and spend time with them and say goodbye, but I know I can't necessarily count on that with my dad.

wow ok rambling now but suffice to say I'm An Old who does not like dealing with this new fangled way of listening to music. were CDs and tapes really too much work.
AIMP works pretty well for playing your own music when you're an old who doesn't like to use only internet music.

(And Total Commander makes putting the music files onto the phone a lot easier than any of the Android native apps which seem to be actively repelled by the idea that you might want to actually own and control files.)

hello friend


today i did a bunch of yard stuff and sweated. almost put another box on my hive but i think i'll wait till tomorrow because i was wearing a black shirt and also black jean cutoffs when checking the hive today and i could hear them start to get a little upset with my presence.
i think there are a lot of folk in byob with bees and you know when you can hear the tenor of the hive shift? anyways i closed it up and kept working away other things.

i moved here last year and didn't do much with the yard last summer and i am actively trying to make my back yard a nice comfy place to hang out. i haven't hung my hammock yet and i am thinking this needs to happen very soon.

PowerAmp may be an old android app, I dunno, but I've had it forever (I paid a few bucks) for mp3 playback and it works great. I have an SD card full of my music and it deals with it very well, you can even browse and play things using the file system instead of tags etc and that can be a livesaver. copying my music library to the SD card was super simple, I just dragged and dropped.

Oh yup that sound is the sound of me getting the gently caress out quick so I'm not killed by angry ladies.

I'm gonna put some more soothing smelling plants on my deck this coming weekend, because I have new deck planter boxes thanks to freecycle. I'm thinking more lavender and more bee balm.

this reminds me i have a stove and some furniture i need to move asap.

also, for making bees happy some few things are better than clover. asike clover is specifically small enough for honeybees to get into. i guess if you lived in a lush region red clover would produce enough nectar for those sweet honeys to get at but i dunno

I have the clover cover crops in for this reason!!! It makes happy honey.

i have tasted nothing in my life like fresh clover honey. any words are a distraction from the reality that it's experiential and transcendent, fresh from the hive, still warmed by the vibration of thousand of sisters working together.

the first time i tasted comb straight from the hive i wept for joy.

It's almost an otherworldly thing, to be out there surrounded by chill bees just hanging out, barfing up food both for their colony and for you, in open nature, just vibing. I absolutely believe that bees are liminal creatures.

Jesus Christ, the grey forums exist.

Anyway today I'm looking at plants I could plant for the fall, and one of them that I'm looking at is shawo fruit radish. It's very mild, almost like pear flavor, and they're planted about 50 days before first frost. Exciting.

There's a mausoleum here that has a basement but it's pretty much at sea level so it floods all the time

Coincidentally there's a 4 foot teddy bear in there and guess what happens every time you go into the basement?
The creepy giant teddy bear is in a new spot, maybe under a shelf or right next to the entrance, cause it gets relocated during basement floods

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Has anyone ever gone back to visit a city they used to live in and still have friends in and just decided to be tourists there and not tell anyone or try to make plans to meet up?
I was just thinking of the last time I was back in London. Just having a day and a night out by ourselves and nobody we knew knew we were there. It was fun.

I can see how you made this mistake, but I think the question was meant to be "without cursing yourself" rather than "with out-cursing yourself".

I am from the upper Midwest, and I do understand.
That reminds me of a time a few months after I'd started a new job halfway across the country from my parents. I was talking to my dad on the phone, and explaining that I wouldn't be able to visit for Christmas, because I didn't have enough money for the airfare. My dad then offered to pay for my airline ticket, and I literally almost fainted dead away.
He lived to be 100 years old, and he played a mean game of cribbage right up until the end.

Bingo Bango, you're not selling the haunted dolls. Here's what you're gonna do instead:

Keep the box stashed away in your cupboard. Then every time you go round to visit a friend you're going to take one of the haunted dolls and bring it with you. Then when you're at your friend's at one point you're going to make an excuse to leave the room then you're going to take that haunted doll and you are going to hide it somewhere in your friend's house for them to discover weeks, months or maybe even years later. Give your friends the greatest gift of all, a new found appreciation for their own mortality.
