Downtown Julie Brown. "Cause I'm a Blond" and other great hits. The lyric that sticks is "I want to be a Veterinarian, cause I just love children!"

I lived through the 80's, and that feels like an accomplishment. Sound track is Prince, Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Bonnie Hayes, Ry Cooder, Joe Jackson, Doc Watson, the Neville Brothers, Katie Webster, Bonnie Raitt...so much fun music of that decade. The big change from vinyl to CD's, with lots of mixtapes in between. Katie Webster from "Swamp Boogie Queen" https://tidal.com/track/271339059?u #MastodonMusic

"Earth Girls are Easy" one of her big hits - was made into a movie starring Jeff Goldblum as an alien. This is proof that I survived the 80's.
Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved transit, not only did it transform the cityโs public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.
The Mason Bee (Blue Orchard Bee) House is fully occupied. They were extremely active building nests until a few days ago. Now they mature, and we'll see how many emerge next spring. #Gardening #Pollinators #MasonBees #BOBS
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 clichรฉ advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

I can't give advice here, but will forward advice I received from a teacher about 60 years ago. She survived invasion by the Nazis, years of refugee status with her son & husband, new home in the US, sudden death of her husband after reaching this golden shore.
Be prepared to take care of yourself and your children by yourself.
@RickiTarr
At some point, we all "stand alone" and do not know when it will be necessary. Death, divorce, disability, dementia - bad things happen, and life goes on. I think about your homelessness post from yesterday. With or without support systems, how will you cope with a sudden change? A relationship as a crutch is only that.
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!
Okay, I wanted to make a joke that I can't possibly choose between dogs and cats, I can't even choose between men and women, because I'm bi-furrious. BUT I know y'all would make jokes about me in the comments, because you all are perverts. GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER!

"Blue" by Joni Mitchell on the album "Blue".
Blue, songs are like tattoos,
you know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away.
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in...
