do people really have time to listen to a 3 hour podcast?

what is activity pub?

I have gotten a few questions and felt I should follow-up here - the CEA numbers are under control and heading down again. The doctors are not concerned about it and said the fluctuation is not a problem.

Radiation goes through this month. Surgery in January/February.

Thank you all for your love and thoughts.

Yes.

Both my kids (8 and 4y/o) get sats for allowance. They have their own wallets.

This opens up endless conversations, especially with the older kid - about money, about how the world works, etc.

We have discussed inflation, loans, mortgages, credit ratings, savings, etc.

You don't have to have a particular plan. Just start giving them sats and talk about it when the moment occurs.

wow just came back to this b/c was shared in this post and turns out I wrote this the day before my wife's cancer diagnosis.

Early 40s.

I appreciate the thought. She has used CBD & THC for pain, sleep, nausea thought the Chemo.

Really the first time I've felt unsure about it all for a while. She was last in the hospital in mid-July, which really wasn't that long ago, but has been doing so well since then, it feels like a totally different life. Thought for sure we had this beat, then today shook me a bit.

Turns out it had spread more than they initially thought. It was really actually Stage 4, which is scary b/c they would not have given her treatment then. We had to start working with an out-of-town team that is going to do the surgery, and with the addition of radiation, the whole timeline has been extended quite a bit.

I might have been incorrect on that, she has had CTs and MRIs at this point

I challenge you to do whatever you want with these 2 girls, and follow my suggestion for 2 other girls.

(you'll likely have better success with the 2 other girls b/c you are not concerned about the outcomes there)

why do you think she'd be a good mother?

The point here is ... Why do you want to get to know her ? You know nothing about her except she is cute. Make her prove something, show her you have other things to do, and challenge her to find "something cool to do this weekend."

You: Hey - I saw you over here and thought you might be cool.

Her: Oh hey - Blah blah blah ... * plays with hair *

You: Yeah, it's hard to know who is cool anymore.

Her: Blah blah blah

You: Blah blah blah

You: Ok well I have to get to [ work / class / whatever ]. You should take my phone number and text me if you have anything cool going on this weekend.

Her: Oh, yeah ...

You: Text me so I have your number.

THEN ... Do not start texting her about every random bullshit thought you have.

you may want to save a copy of the video for yourself

I think @7ac5aafdeb is pointing to a trend that capable people are leaving places where taxes are high and everything is catering to the special needs of trans / immigrants / etc - and people are flowing into lower tax areas that take don't cater to those same special needs.

Just got sucked in and played several levels. Will come back to it soon, thanks for sharing.

Can I use this quote in a website I'm working on @Undisciplined ? I can credit you and link to your profile.

Thanks for tagging me - hope you are doing well.
