I need to learn this superpower. I have tried alternates but I can’t really afford the slow down that comes with the learning curve, but I’m also unemployed and broke now…

Still on rotation over here

Barbeque, one summer day when it seemed perfect to have a barbeque. We were both like “this will be a fad” but it’s been used SO much over the years.

Gwen Stefani. She just has that ‘i promise I’m still cool’ desperation to her. She used to actually seem cool.

No I think it refers to the motion of the head going over the heels. Not being positioned in a static frame over the heels.

Snot rockets, marathoner style.

You’re welcome

We need a neverbrokeabone community for Nicole-less people.

It gets boring to worry. Now I just view it as a cosy box that I’ll occasionally have to patch up. Also, getting comfortable with DIY, especially that first scary ‘dive in’ moment where you have to cut the wire, drill the wall, or pull up the board. Over time it all just gets as normal and run of the mill as cracking an egg for an omelette.

Look into native plants. There are so many edible things that you can just leave in the wasteland that is your yard and they’ll take over. Here in Tennessee we have pawpaws and maypops for fruit, tomatoes that pop up randomly, garden greens like wood sorrel and lambs quarters, and a bunch of other things that absolutely take over given half a chance. Sure, if you try and grow the seed packets from your local Lowes you’ll have issues with pests and whatnot, but there is so much more food out there than these varieties.

I’ve eaten 6 of the ones on your list! Hoping to add morels very soon.

Black staining polypore is also one that is super easy to ID, the very edges are edible, the inside fronds get very tough, but you can cook those up to make a phenomenal goth broth that works well in chicken noodle soup.

I was you two years ago. Then I took a photo of a strange mushroom and posted it online, only to be told it was a choice lions mane and an incredibly valuable and delicious find. Cue four hours consuming all the resources I could to make sure this thing wouldn’t kill me, before eating the tiniest nibble and waiting 24 hours. Yep, it was delicious alright, and because I survived the night, I ate more. I fried it in garlic butter and threw it in soups, I dehydrated it and used it as a thickener. I found more and ate more. Then I learned about chicken of the woods - very distinct with no dangerous lookalikes. Another delicious experience. And so I bought some books. And went on more hikes. Turns out, what I had thought of as danger was just lack of knowledge. I know not to walk in front of a moving car, despite them being all around. Learn what not to eat, learn the ones that can be confused, learn the ones you can’t really fuck up IDing, and it’s not as scary as it seems.

+1 your mom is cool. You’d better call her!

Wait, but why does that work?!

That’s cool - Weird Al is awesome.

That sounds delicious and also dangerous.

As a girl, this reads like positive emotion that makes her feel embarrassed or guilty. Is she in a relationship with someone else? Maybe she’s fighting something she feels towards you.

How did the prize work? Could you just waltz up and get free ices whenever you wanted?

Yes sir/ma’am/person!

It’s me, hi, I have negative views of health insurance companies, it’s me.
