you have some kind of dementia probably and before that had narcissism. the whole new personality from covid, not masking autism excuse may be partly true. but please be aware of how much dementia and narcissism you exude
Jealous of how I make my life sound awesome, are we?
Doing a bit of decorating and wondering, to what extent am I even supposed to have ashtrays anymore? I’m not particularly expected to have spittoons or antimacassars.
They’re small and ornamental.
Yeah, and then how do I balance their ornamental value catching eyes on an otherwise empty horizontal surface vs. utility catching ash in proximity to places smoking people might want to occupy? Should I have some deployed for every obvious place to settle? In reserve, like drink coasters?
Do you want people proactively smoking cigarettes in your house? Because if I see an ashtray in someone’s house, I’m assuming they smoke, and are okay with others smoking, which is not appealing. If you really want to accommodate smokers, you could leave one on the deck. you’re better off with painted rocks or candy bowls for decoration.
…yeah, kinda, both my parents smoked and so the smell, ritual, and accoutrements all resonate as home to me, and in making provision for it I’m connecting my home to an older world that I was just old enough to experience in person
frank, the original caption for the template you used is “it’s true, but he shouldn’t say it.” that’s the context. i only changed it to “she” because i was talking about you.
Ahhhhh, okay. Makes sense. Thanks.
It’s true, but she cannot say it. Physically.
It’s true, but it cannot be said. Not with these hands.
I think white blood cells are fascinating because they’re “part of your body”, but they’re not actually attached to you. And they’re not in any way directly controlled by your brain. They live freely in your blood stream and move around totally autonomously. So they’re really a lot like an independent organism that just lives inside your body.

Okay another day when the limit of my smashing Blueberry Hill is the strain of keeping my balance on the semiconsolidated compost pile/rubble heap, it’s not the calves or even ankle muscles but ones at the sole of the foot itself. I’ve never really operated raised-arch on broken ground before, so I’m training those up from scratch I guess.
I’d give it two more days of smashing, then one of spreading leaves on top and then mud-sealing in the stone-block end (which was the one item on my yard work list when I came back after Christmas last year), there’ll be a nylon net in the mud and then when I plant alpine strawberries the runners will grow across this and the weave will hold the slope together, with the strain of frost-heaving pushing stones out resisted by the strength of all the strawberry roots.
