Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I’m peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.

If I can share what’s helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years… Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and “exuded.”

As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

I will give this a try! Maybe thin out the pesto with citrus or balsamic. Thanks for weighing in!

I’ve tried adding crushed red pepper for the heat, but it doesn’t change the salt balance issue.

Me and my ex husband use “teh sex” (sic) to mean something is beautiful and designed exceptionally well.

You’ve uncovered it! THANK YOU!!!

I watched this over my Thanksgiving break and am so in love. There are so many themes and ideas to dissect. I wish I could find a viewing party or discussion group about it. That’s how I found your post.

I’m no great thinker, but I’d love to hear others thoughts on what I see this series positing. Are there always bigger predators? When can you trust your understanding? What does survival look like, and how do you know you have achieved it? What really drives us, biology or intelligence?

It should be a Rule to include the hover text.

I’m really not sure how I posted here, but I’m grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Trying to post an image

I’m on lemm.ee, but I can see your image. When I try to upload an image, I get a spinning circle as if it is loading, but then nothing posts.

Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, and no idea how to fix it. Could it be my instance? My app (liftoff)?

I did that. Then I just tried again. Still no luck. How do I determine if this is an issue with my instance or my mobile app?

I can’t see my picture… Did I do this wrong?

“It’s torture, and I helped!”

Friend, where were you in June?!?!

Cool stuff, though. Now when I switch things up I have a tool!

Wish I was back in Texas. The ocean’s no place for a squirrel.

Has the nonprofit applied for the Google Ad grant? Worth looking into it, if not.

What’s up with that? I can’t see any of the pictures hosted here.
