@Wildfire: lol! I can't wait to hear about his journey.
I was going to mention, the cold here is dry, so it's bearable. I imagine Florida cold is like... wet cold air. bleh.
There's been times I go out in a t-shirt and jeans and it isn't until my nose is getting crunchy that I'm like "oh. OH. it's cold out." *nose crunchy=below freezing. It's the moisture in the nose freezing up*

@CooperationIsKey: I was one of those kids that loved veggies and hated 'junk food'. Although, ramen was like once a day [or every other day]until I hit 18 and was like "oh.. this isn't good for me." XDD

@Aisukohi: omg, I had to look up a water moccasin. They're called cottonmouths around here. o3o" You've had poor circumstances with your camping trips. I'm sorry.
BUT You have great stories to tell! lol.
I would have totally been a person with a shovel around that cottonmouth. o3o'

FREAKIN RACCOONS. I love them.. but they're totally camp-food thieves!

As a teen, I took a few friends camping. We all started a fire and got comfortable- or at least I thought we were comfy. Everyone began fighting. Two people left to go on a walk [opposite directions], and two others went to bed. That left me alone at the fire. I had my feet up and I was gripping my bag of marshmallows watching the fire dim, just wondering how I didn't see the signs of the fight. [teen angst].
Then that awful 6th sense kicked in, that paranoid feeling like something was watching me and it just kept getting darker and I felt paralyzed. We were pretty much in the center of the camp grounds, so it couldn't've been a bobcat or any big game. I finally got enough balls to put my feet down off the chair and throw a log on the fire. However, when I went to set my bag of marshmallows on the ground, little THIEVING FINGERS GRABBED IT AND RAN OFF.
damn raccoon was Sitting under my chair for however long I had that itching feeling... WAITING for me to set my marshmallows down.

It was a full bag [minus a few I ate] of those GIANT marshmallows.

*shakes fist at raccoons* but I love them.

@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

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: yeah- I've noticed that too. XD Especially with technology. My mom didn't set up an expensive gift I gave her last year because it needed to be added to the wifi. CX
So I unboxed it, typed in the wifi password [which she knew] and tada. It was on and working. lol.

@Wildfire: My mom has 2 more weeks until she can put a bit of weight on her foot. I'll still need to help her for a bit after that but I might be able to escape once or twice a week to work my job. My sister [who is also my boss] has been bringing boxes for my mom to do for me- for my job. To keep mom busy.
I'm doing okay, I powered through a cold this week and it went straight to my head. XD lol, so now my ears are feeling clogged. /sigh
I was supposed to work, physically, at my job this weekend- BUT! we're getting a massive amount of snow. The road I use to go to work is closed while they do avalanche control. We have about... or a bit over a foot of snow since yesterday. It's still dumping. o3o

@Aisukohi: I'm doing pretty alright. Been busy with rl and taking breaks to post on voltra. How've you been? I love your avi. <3 :3

@CooperationIsKey: omg, LA is insane. I live in a 1%er town in Wyoming that has the same rent/cost of living as LA. it's ridiculous. /sigh/
I found out fairly recently that I have an uncle with his gaggle of children in Florida.
My sister and mom are conspiring to eventually buy a retirement house out there. We'll see if that happens. I'm sure it will if my sister is still thinking about it. She's a 'Do-er' type personality.
I love the Western states. *hugs Wyoming and Oregon like they're my babies*

@Fellowsheep: your avi is cute too! <3
I just make a basic chocolate chip cookie. :3 nothing too exciting.

@Wildfire: I let my husband know we're going to be supportive of your son if he needs us and he was like "sounds good." XD
We've had a handful of Florida friends [who were either military or moved to the west] the last 5 years and only 1 stayed in the west. The rest missed the heat and 'good times' of Florida.
Well, I'm excited for your son's adventure and to continue talking to you and see how things go. <3

@Purpsy: omgosh! a bruised hand sucks! That hurts so bad. I'm glad you can help your mom out. :p
My mom slipped on a dust pan and broke her leg right above the ankle. -facepalm-
I'm doing my best to keep up with myself. I'm going to my friend's house Saturday nights to get a break from my mom's house and the daycare. OTL

@Purpsy: I'm living with my mom right now, she's formed a pretty nice support network around herself too. <3 I love it. She broke her ankle a few weeks ago, so I've been running her businesses and keeping my hours at work too. I'm exhausted.
Today, a cold finally set in. I'm pushing through it. I just wanna sleeeeep T^T

@Wildfire: I just messaged you my info. :3
lmao! ya know what's going to happen? He'll ride out the butt end of this winter and head in to spring and summer and he'll be happy as a clam and be like "winter wasn't that bad, mom!"
I see folks wearing cowboy boots out here in the winter all the time with thick socks. He'll be alright. :p
Well, your son has my family now too. I think we're pretty good people.

@CooperationIsKey: I am okay. Pretty pooped out actually. I have a full work day tomorrow with my job and some hours on Sunday I need to do.. oof. not looking forward to no days off.

@Purpsy: 2023 for me has been a challenge, but I'm doing okay.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall asleep standing up today though. XD

inflation definitely sucks. e.e Luckily my mom is covering some groceries and I'm taking advantage of the local food bank.

@Purpsy: omg! 8 months already. jeeeeez. D:
I miss your silly posts and your presence here. <3

Is life treating you okay? o3o

@Purpsy: OH HEI! I was just thinkin about you yesterday. I haven't seen you in forever, or it feels that way. =O
How are you doing?

@CooperationIsKey: Good Morning.
Sucks that a quick trip to the doc has to take so long! D:

That looks amazing! <3
I don't bake much.. maybe a couple times a year. XD I make cookies for holidays. :d

@Wildfire: your avatar is really showing you today. lol. Cold weather and anxious eyebrows. XD
Sounds like your son found a good job with good people. He'll fit right in. <3 I'm excited to hear your updates, or if he's friendly enough to throw me a text sometimes and tell me how things are going as time goes on.

I love that you ramble about your sons. <3 You are proud of them.
