@Linuxtjej I've been on both ends. I feel like an idiot either way.

@brook Wow! ❤️

@Iuckyduck You can’t wildkraft it?
(That was supposed to be funny.)

#Olympia’s rush minute SUCKS. 🤬

@risabee @douginamug @dazinism My request for suggestions is getting bumped around to relevant people, I suppose. Greetings!

@jules It’s been a long spring here. These are surprisingly not as common as I would think, but then suddenly I see a vacant lot full of them. They really need the crappiest places to grow here.

Yay! The first little chicory! My second favorite weed, behind dandelion (which is my favorite *plant*, so that’s an honor.)

Chicorium intybus

@jernone Thank you! 😊

@mcmoots I sent them an email. Didn’t feel like calling. I need to do serious research on moving costs.

@Mainebot Oooh... that's a conversation...

@Mainebot You had to google Simon le Bon? Oof.
I was thinking more the eyes, because he'd have this wide, blue-eyed stare and I can't find a photo. *You had to google Simon le Bon?!?*

PS. It's my birthday month. I've been saying, "I'm nearly 49" for, like, 6 months now. Soon I'll actually be 49 and it will be anticlimactic, because every time I would see my age listed as "48" I would think, "That's not right; I'm 49. 🤨 Oh, ri-i-i-i-ight!"

I have no money this year to splurge on a present for myself, but if anyone in the greater Seattle-Olympia-Aberdeen area knows of a FREE PIANO, one that sounds sweet even if it looks like a piece of shit, please let me know.

@Mainebot !!! Has anyone said you look a little like Simon le Bon? I'd attach a photo, but then it would be obvious that you look *nothing* like Simon le Bon, not in the least. (Apparently he had a beard phase. I did not know that.) Hope that's not an insult.

A very red dinner:

Goumi berries (still lots left)
Morello cherries (the birds have left plenty)
Red currants (under the cherry tree)
Strawberry-Chia smoothie (don't like it, drinking it)
Penne with marinara (last of it, finally)
Coffee Porter (you thought I'd say 'red ale,' but alas)

@mcmoots PS, that's more straight-up fidgeting and not sitting still than stimming, I guess, but that happens even more, especially fidgeting with my hair.

@mcmoots I do that almost constantly. The lady would have blown a fuse with me nearby. A friend nearly disowned me after a visit to the art museum. (I only set off three proximity alarms, wtf?)

Me, in class: <tapping my eraser on my notes>
Guy: Would you stop that tapping.
Me: You're lucky I don't have my clicky pen today.
Guy: I *KNOW*.

People keep telling me about fidget toys. I should probably look into it. (I've been diagnosed with adhd, for what it's worth.)

I'm baaaack, and this party's over. You kids, get home, NOW.

Not you, @dlek . Take off that gimp mask and the clown shoes, give me the Special Box, real slow-like, and hand over your cars keys. I'm calling your parents.
