It is making me miss the communities I used to follow on Reddit that don't (yet?) Exist here. But it is a comfortable way to get my distraction scrolling in.

It scared the hell out of me the first time because it somehow knew what I had in my arms and I didn't know what to scan to check out. But the items kept appearing and I didn't know if they were actually mine or not and it was a very creepy black mirror-esque experience for me.

Great store though, really impressed.

Erin Parsons Makeup is my newest rabbit hole. A really neat look at makeup through history!

Agree. 8 hours is a struggle. You get 5 hours of serious focused attention from me...then I lose steam and half heartedly answer questions and fight to keep my eyes open and focused or zone out in a meeting. But the 5 hours I do is laps around my coworkers and solid friggin work. Also to note I work remote and it's the only reason my 5 hours is so fruitful.

10 hours would be a nightmare.

I just lost my very beloved barn cat to a suspected coyote attack.

It really sucks. He was a feral cat not deemed suitable for a home and he went from hissing at me for weeks to a total cuddly love...with a wild wall climbing streak.

He knew love, friendship, a warm bed and a full belly but the guilt I have is all consuming. He lived a great life but man...my barn feels very sad and quiet these days.

All of my animals end up having weird special needs or differing medical issues.

I got a VPN and I find every app I try to use it with doesn't recognize the alternate country I set it to, or detects I'm using one. I thought I'd get a lot more use out of it than I do.

Am I VPN-ing wrong?

Personal update: I went last night for Foo Fighters and it was horrendous. Worst Bluesfest experience to date and I've been attending consistently for what feels like ages.

The line to get in was big but efficient. Food took 40+ minutes. Bathroom line took 20 mins.

I hated how/where the stage was set up and the sound was awful where I could finally nab a spot.

The worst part was the crowd-- everyone seemed oblivious to why they were there (to see a band) and just had exceedingly loud conversations. I couldn't even hear Dave speak because the crowd talking around me totally drowned him out. Part could be the bad sound also. I mean I don't expect you to be quiet but why are you in the middle of a crowd yelling "so, where are you from ? Where'd you go to school?" Go to a bar?!

Maybe I'm just old now but man I was frustrated!

While some of it does seem suspect, the blood + hydrogen peroxide is totally legit. It's actually amazing to watch the stain disappear before your eyes. Very, very useful. And I can't believe I waited 25 years into my menstruating life to determine this.

What I would like to know is how to get a tajin stain out of a white tank top. I recently had a margarita with a tajin rim and some got on my shirt... I didn't think it'd be an issue so I washed and dried my tank and when I pulled it out, it appears to have dyed the fabric and I'm very sad about it.
