Not sure about the brand but if it helps then it’s likely good

Someone got to do it

We got piles on my gardens which will get covered for composting in place for the rest of the year. Also our wildflower garden is pretty much untouched except a yearly mow to remove baby trees. So plenty of spots for bugs

I saw a few lightning bugs in my yard last year. My life goal have them consistently in my yard. Good thing this dovetails nicely with my other life goals of getting butterflies, bumblebees and birds in my yards

No. Get an Electric Mattress Pad. They last longer and since they are less flexible they can put larger heating elements in them

Better yet. Use both

Echenacia does has some immune boosting properties but it needs to be actual Echenacia. Most low quality herbal supplements are not what they are labeled. Since there are no regulations they can put whatever in there. If you really want to the actual benefits even make it yourself or get it from a higher quality sources. I am planning on making some whole plant Echenacia tincture this year for next winter

I feel like this is the story of the internet. Interesting niche site gets a little popular. Site gets purchased by giant. Giant cuts costs and removed interesting things about site. Site loses visits because it’s boring. Another round of cuts and the site is gone.

I miss weird Internet sites

I loved reading about their sports models and their model development. Polling was kind of interesting but their sports prediction was great.

Never for when you are in the office. Unless you can “work” by goofing around with coworkers or wandering around holding things while listening to podcasts

This when you pad your time and set hard boundaries for what you can do. I like to schedule emails for later in the day. It helps that I work from home

Well the snowplow came and piled snow back to my end of the driveway / alley that I spent all morning clearing. Time to do it again

Just cleaned the driveway and sidewalks. With my WFH job I was unable to get to it until it started to get a little heavy. The snowblower worked well but did have to go over a few spots twice or three times. Time to walk / trudge the dogs next

I want to be as efficient as possible for my job. So I can get as much done in as little amount of time as possible so I can get back to my life. Only goal

Ending DEI was it for me

There’s so many different companies that are just resume hunting. Don’t know why really

I’ve been boycotting Target for months now

I’ve found that jobs that are actually hiring move quickly. They move from applications to interview within a few days. Constant talking about within the hour seems excessive.

I recently read Pleasure Activism which does a lot about how to cultivate joy in your life. This joy is specifically cultivated in non consumerist methods. There’s a huge section on making activism joyful to build community. It was a wonderful book.

P.S. I love Dan Savage. I read his column and listen to his podcast weekly. If you have never tried it it’s amazing. He also started the It Gets Better Project

I wonder if my local store in Minnesota is union yet. I can’t see any list on the website. But 11 stores is great

I get one every place I visit. Get to look at them once a year and then put them away. Perfect system
