@Wildfire: Well it started on Pride and Prejudice like a couple of days ago and it was on my bucket list to watch for awhile now and I really enjoyed watching it and now I wanted to watch something similar. So I watched Little Women (2019 ver.) and then I re-watch When in Rome. I swear I've seen that movie too many times as a teen... I plan to watch Clueless some other time though. So I guess I'm in the mood to watch some old and historical movies xD

Felt like 2022 a lot and nothing happened at the same time. But yes I learn to somewhat deal these seasonal depression but still by far the worst time of the year for me to try to be productive

@Koah: Yep... what's worse is I'm not better in that department and we both end up getting frustrated and screaming. Then my brother had to rescue us a lot lmao

@Purpsy: Yeah, the last year or so has been weird... both fast and slow... busy and not... it has just been weird. :3
LOL - I don't think I've seen any of those movies except for Clueless (I've read the Little Women books, as well as Pride and Prejudice though). It sounds like an interesting mix of movies. Anything else in your queue? I'm glad you're enjoying them :3




@CooperationIsKey: How are you feeling today, Key? Better, I hope?




Good morning everyone.

@Wildfire: To me every year has been like that since 2021... I would argue 2020 but that year was waaay too eventful.
It is, a lot of them I discover during one of those movie recaps videos on YT but since I've heard so much of Disenchanted I do low key want to watch Enchanted. I never really get the hype when it first came out and I've had plans to watch the new Avatar movie with my brother but it got cancelled. Him being too tired on his night shifts and me being not feeling well that day.

How's your morning fairing so far?

@Wildfire: Pain is doing better today! Also we went to Aldi and I came away with pineberries and my beloved almond butter filled pretzels, which they very rarely carry, so I'm stoked about that!

How are you today?

@Wildfire: Nothing really new with me. Same old stuff. How about you?

@CooperationIsKey: lol I've walked out of my way for good coffee as well, so I feel your pain. xD I bought a bunch of food stuff today, and probably spent too much, but I'm always throwing money around for good food lol.

@Purpsy: ... my morning was a bit chaotic. I went camping with my youngest, so yesterday morning was packing and getting there, and this morning was packing up and coming home. There's a lot of stuff happening in my world right now.


@CooperationIsKey: I'm glad you're feeling better - and that you got some of your favorite snacks! I'm hanging in there, thanks - tired, because of camping...


@Aisukohi: ... "what's new" is a loaded question for me, tbh. There have been a lot of changes and a lot of "events" over the last few months. :3

Good morning. How is everyone doing today so far?


It's already the end of January... can you believe it? I am not sure that I can (for a number of reasons). For me, thinking about it in terms of the first month of the new year is just odd - so much has happened in the last couple of weeks that it feels like it has been much longer...

So... Tuesday. What do you have going on today?

@Wildfire: Oooh! I can understand why xD
How was it? To this day I don't think I've ever gone to camping but I have been inside some strangers tent as a child once and got myself stuck inside...

@Purpsy: Camping was good. It was a beautiful night for it, and it was lovely being in an area that we had pretty much to ourselves. :3 <3

LOL - do I want to know how you ended up in some stranger's tent... especially if you didn't go camping?? XD

@Wildfire: Awe it sounds like a very serene and peaceful trip :3
Well it happened when I was very young so I don't remember much of it but... I think my family at the time was part of some huge gathering which I can only assume was one of those workplace family events from my dad's workplace or some church vacation outing. I don't know *shrugs* I vaguely remember they were some people camping outside while they were an inn nearby where some have slept inside the night. And it was located on top of the mountain and vaguely remember being terrified driving all the way up and down from it.

So one night I think I was playing with some kids (I think it was hide n seek) and some spontaneous moment in me decided to run inside some stranger's empty tent and zip it close and hide there for awhile only by the time I tried zip it open again. The zipper got stuck... yeah I think I eventually cried and was crying for help. Eventually the owner of the tent noticed I was stuck inside and tried to free me out xD

I think the people who owned that tent was kind of upset with me in the end... since I kind of broke their tent.

LOL - that's such a funny story about your tent misadventure! XD

Sorry for the late reply, RL stuff keeps keepin me busy.
@Aisukohi: festive cowgirl totally made me smile. :3 I think I was unintentionally going for that. <3

@Wildfire: looks like your son will head this way after the cold front- Lucky him. XDD
School was cancelled the last 2 days due to -25 to -30 temps in the morning. It does warm up once the sun rises though. So we're getting 8-15*F days.

@Purpsy: lol! yeah- relatable. I'm not techie. All the techie guru-ing goes to my husband. Or I'll call an IT friend and every time, he always threatens me with a bill if I didn't "turn it on and off" or "check if it's plugged in". I don't really call him anymore for tech things... <.<

@MarRath: Hey you. Welcome! :)

@Purpsy: lol! your tent story. XDD I would have sobbed too.
The crap we do as little kids.

I remember my mom yelling at me over and over to not sneak through the fence to the neighbor's garden.
I continued doing it, no one fixed the fence.
However, time came to the point we had to move and I was old enough to realize I was being a little thief. So, I voluntarily went to the neighbor's, knocked on their door and said sorry for stealing their cherry tomatoes.
They laughed and said it was fun watching me be sneaky. My mom was behind me and I got so embarrassed I teared up. My mom was embarrassed and awkwardly laughed with them. I was a little elementary kid. XD

@Koah: WooHoo - warm front! XD LOL! He's getting on the plane tomorrow and will be there tomorrow night. He will be going from about 80°F here when he leaves to whatever level of frozen hell you guys are dealing with when he lands! XD
I'm not ready. :/

@Koah: To be fair cherry tomatoes are pretty awesome. I was especially fond of them as a kid, myself. XD

@Wildfire: lol well if you're comfortable with sharing your latest news, I wouldn't mind learning, but if not, that's cool too.

@Koah: IRL keeping me busy too, so no worries. And yay for happy accident avis lol. Or whatever you'd call that situation, but I know the feeling. xD Also your tomato story sounds adorable. <3

@Purpsy: Your tent story sounds equally adorable and terrifying. xD

I haven't been camping much in my life, but I've got some interesting stories from the few times I've been. I remember going when I was 6 or 7, and a water moccasin swam towards our campgrounds and actually managed to make it almost toward the middle of it, but a distant uncle at the time was quick on his feet and decapitated it in front of all of us with a shovel.

And then several years ago, I went on a camping trip as part of one of my college classes, and I got burgled by a raccoon and I was soooo salty about it! Basically on our way to the campgrounds, we made a pit stop at this coffee shop, and I got a banana nut muffin that I swear to this day was the best I've ever had. I didn't finish it, so decided to save it for later. Upon arriving at the campgrounds, we were warned by the professor never to leave our tents open in case the brazen neighborhood raccoons wanted to pillage. *I* made sure to close the tent every time, but some moron left it open and we later found a raccoon inside and it STOLE MY MUFFIN!! We were quite a ways from the coffee shop, so not like I could get a new one.

@Aisukohi: I'm just in the middle of it right now, but my youngest son is moving most of the way across the country. Tomorrow. It has been a rough couple weeks of a lot of processing and adjustment and trying to get him ready for such a big move. Before this latest thing (his move)... other things like a motorcycle accident...
