Oh, Dairy Pics from yesterday! I've never seen such happy cows, and the cheese was sooo good!

This is several wedges of cheese in different sizes and shapes on a slab of granite. They are Camembert Havarti, Edam, Gouda, Raclette, Jersey Jack, and Garlic Jack

This is the cow pasture, you can see cows grazing under trees in the distance and big puffy white clouds in the sky

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

@RickiTarr MAKE SURE YOU ARE A TEAM

For better or worse, it's you two against the world for the most part, and the weaker your external support system, the stronger you two have to be together.

If they are getting in the way of your dreams or your responsibilities, or if they are working at cross purposes to you, what are you together for?

This doesn't even have to be malicious. Some people don't work well together and that's ok. Recognize when it isn't working for you, and get out. It's ultimately better for both of you

Also, only be in a relationship where you are willing to do most of the work. Being completely honest, even a 50% split feels more like 60-40. Even the best relationship is work, for most of us. Few people can live up to fairy tale expectations.

Okay, since I'm on laundry today, a little story.

When hubs and I first got married, we were very much enjoying our little Honeymoon Bubble, and we were being lazy as Hell. We didn't do many chores, but the laundry we really let go. We weren't wearing many clothes at home anyway, so why bother. Anyhow, after weeks we finally reached the swimming suit bottoms situation, and decided it was time. It was loads and loads of laundry that needed done, so I had my husband back the trunk of the car up to a window of the house, then he popped the trunk, and I started tossing laundry out of the window into the trunk. We went to the bank, got about $30 bucks in quarters, and found the emptiest laundry mat we could, and did it all in one fell swoop. We folded it all and loaded it back into the car using those wheeled laundry carts. We never let it get that bad again, and decided it was time to be adults, and do regular chores, but it still makes me laugh imagining what the neighbors and the laundry attendant thought.

Feel free to share your own laundry story, if you feel like it, I love hearing people's stories!

@RickiTarr

Roommate in high school didn't do his laundry at school. He would just pile it up waiting for the monthly trip home, and do it there. I think he didn't shower all that much and covered it with deodorant and cologne. Toward the end of the month, the atmosphere was an oppressive miasma of Brut and BO. Brut nauseates me to this day.

I'm not saying I didn't stink also. I would guess I did too as a teenage wrestler, but I showered sometimes twice a day, and you don't really smell your own smell usually.

@RickiTarr so much 🤢

@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

Alright, I'm not normally a person who talks about my dreams, but I usually have cinematic dreams and this one didn't have an ending, and I need your creativity.

I dreamed I was working at a Mental Health Institution. We were having some kind of government inspection, it seemed really off, they were paying special attention to certain patients. I inadvertently found out that they were from some shadowy organization, and they believed that certain people who had schizophrenia and delusions were actually seeing into alternate realities, and they were planning on taking them for training of some kind. It surprised me so much, that it actually woke me up, and I couldn't finish the dream. What would they use this for and why? Help me finish this in my brain!

elverkonge,
@elverkonge@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr A real shadowy organization would only use this to either predict the market or spying on other countries (assuming a large degree of correspondence to alternate realities), or gaining technological advantage (for dissimilar parallels).

Rather boring, but I think that would be the actuality of the situation. Cynic's perspective, of course

OMG Y'all, I found some of my old Christian Girl writing and I'm cracking up. You can see my terrible handwriting! Feel free to share your own handwriting, it doesn't have to be super embarrassing!

@RickiTarr

A few thoughts:

  1. This could be my handwriting today. 🙂
  2. I would never have recorded my own musings, but this thinking could almost have come from me.
  3. This struggle to fit Biblical teaching into one's belief system is very familiar, and you can see the impending failure of it to fully take hold. In a way it's beautiful to see.
  4. This feels like a waste of time for an inquisitive young mind to go through.

@RickiTarr Thanks. It's just an intimately familiar process from my own youth, though. It took years to understand it at the time.

It still tickles me that the TERFS and Transphobes tried to claim Terry Pratchett as their own, and everyone who actually knew him, including his daughter, and co-author Neil Gaiman, was like WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, you couldn't be further from the truth.

@elverkonge@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr Reminds me of some right-wingers who were mad about Rage Against the Machine "becoming political" in 2020.

I mean they've been morons much longer than that about music in general and RATM in particular, but it was some flare up in social media.

I lost some followers and I’m not sure if it's because they didn't like my weak photo of the aurora borealis or didn't appreciate my question about how much teeth they like with their BJs. Probably a little bit of both.

@RickiTarr @adhdeanasl If SS gets cut after I've paid into all my life, then I'm afraid that's breach of social contact with my government. That's an "all bets are off" situation, which might dovetail into my existing plans nicely.
