 I’ve been getting into French movies from the 60s/70s lately.. wild to say the least 
 What would you recommend? 
 The pup is on strike. No walkies in these frigid temperatures, she says. https://image.nostr.build/4e580d329e8ed6347bbe76408e5b621d68cf46b6e5b89f88ea726df83bdd63a5.jpg  
 She walked, nay frolicked in the snow and then had to coaxed back inside.

 Eek! How are you feeling?

That’s the real question

 I’ll be keeping the room open until 7:30 ET if no one joins. Closing at 8pm ET to not compete with conspiracy dimensions. nostr:note1l67n3nakhxdwwtxmvuy2k2g4l76dcxq404k5mzserfkeydr7kkqqkwmgjr

 I went on a rant this morning against people who say if it doesn’t bring you comfort or happiness walk away. Some of the things in life that will bring you the most comfort and happiness may take periods of work, difficulty, and being uncomfortable to achieve. Got the response “sounds like you need a safe space.” 🤣 Yes, he was taking the piss. nostr:note1wdafu75y4v3l709l3ztmxy5j04gsxecqfp7s0xxw92e97y7wazes6qp0jj 
 I didn’t look at my most recent spinal surgery like that. It felt like the only way out was through. I appreciate your perspective. Really hoping I personally don’t need it anytime soon. I hope you heal well. Slow and steady wins the race. 🐢 
 My dog hurt her leg last night, her good leg. She previously tore her CCL, the canine equivalent to the ACL, in her right leg. Last night she hurt her left leg and is limping. I’m hoping it’s just a sprain because she hasn’t yelped like she did when she tore her CCL. If anyone wants to send Navi positive thoughts or prayers for healing I’d appreciate it. 
 Most definitely. She’s a treasure. 
 Thanks for the reminder. Getting her some chews that she’s previously taken. 
 I’m so sorry to hear about your doggo! It’s been 4 years since she tore her right CCL. I originally was going to get her surgery. It ended up being delayed because of the pandemic and covid restrictions. When it was available again she was doing so well running and jumping around. I chose to continue with conservative management. Got her some more dasuquin chews today. They’ve been helpful in the past. 
 The pictures are gorgeous. I would argue that the sea and sky is also monochrome in beautiful blues. Love the composition of the buildings in Shanghai.

 Brett Goldstein for the win. 😍 
 The cherry bourbon pie was delicious. Unfortunately the cranberry walnut pie was a baking fail this time as I wasn’t able to find fresh cranberries. I tried to use a hack to rehydrate dried cranberries but it did not taste right and the consistency was off. Definitely will only make it in the future when fresh cranberries are available. The picture is the cranberry walnut pie I made for Thanksgiving and it was superb! https://image.nostr.build/9ca271b64af980c83d82d713f8bd9c3cc7ddd3bad816b46eb9072a9af41296db.jpg  
 All this pie I gotta go get a slice 
 Did @samah make the gnocchi with mushrooms? That was delicious too. 
 I could have easily made the pies gluten and dairy free. I know for the future. I’d love the gnocchi recipe. So tasty! 
 One of my good friends is Lebanese and the most amazing cook I know. She makes magic in the kitchen. The way she layers flavors is absolutely amazing. 
 Happy Birthday Vanessa! @vrod

 I’m the one who points out that they won the 2023 season championships even though the final game was played on January 8, 2024. 
 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m at a loss here. 
 @island is a dumbass 
 I’m just being a dick and giving him shit. It’s fair play. 
 I asked if he wanted help setting up the tv. He gave me a withering look. Right as I opened YouTube on my phone a reel started playing with a chick saying “Men suck. Men are dumb.” It was totally accidental on my part. He decided to program terminal with voice jabs at me. 
 He might like it 🤣 
 Tell him to make the cat his. Let it sleep in his room. Have a new cuddle buddy. Make the cat’s current human jealous as fuck. She’ll be cuddling all night with her cat in no time. 

In all seriousness sometimes cats sing the song of their peoples for no discernible reason. My cat seemed to like the acoustics of the stairwell at about 3-4 o’clock in the morning. 
 He moved into the situation? Cat was there first. Maybe advise that he take more time finding a more appropriate living situation and that he use earplugs in the meantime. Cats train a human more than you train them. Having been and had roommates with pets it’s seldom appropriate to chime in on their care and training. Better to screen for situations that are conducive to both parties. 
 It’s taking a little longer to organize my entire life than I anticipated. 
 Hopefully I’ll get to see you IRL in 2024! 
 I’d ask the universe to get a crack on with all this paperwork, clutter, memorabilia, etc. But I’m pretty sure the tornado missing my house was the universe’s way of saying that’s your job. 
 I’ve been working hard to actually do it this year. 
 Good morning! It’s snowing! ❄️ This was unexpected. Think it’s too warm for it to accumulate. 
 That would be fun! As of now it’s only sticking to the raised deck and the dogs. 🤣 Couldn’t make a snowball if you tried. 
 Hope you get some! 
 Same buddy same. 
 So much of decluttering is repeatedly asking yourself, “Why did I feel the need to save this!?”

 Geez that yacht is cray cray. Weirdly I’m way more comfortable on a 38 ft sailboat vs a massive yacht. Boats that require a large crew to run scare me. Also might have watched Overboard with Goldie Hawn too many times growing up. 
 Found my old pogs stored at my parents house. Middle school me thought they were really important. They were grouped by like kind, all stacked with the picture facing up and my initials on the back. https://image.nostr.build/92918f15a61edbe69be9c29a2f36cc5c03c694e06f5d9f91a890c77c05197eab.jpg  
 A bit too old. Nephews have the Pokémon collections. 
 Technically found a few Pokémon cards left around by my nephew. They’re not actually mine though.

 The audience is a vital part of standup comedy. Trying to do a set virtually is a painful experience. *shudders* Remember pandemic era zoom comedy shows?
