I Googled Myself (Again) And This Is What I Found

I Googled Myself (Again) And This Is What I Found I’ve Googled myself before, but not since Google added an AI search engine feature. I admit I'm pretty salty about AI. I never use that AI search result when Googling anything, preferring the actual results rather than the AI summary that shows up. But. Ummm…maybe I should re-think that. Because when the AI summarized me, it got me pretty well. I mean I don’t know what I’d add here. I searched “SuperLowBudge.” That’s my handle everywhere fro…

To Blog or Not To Blog (And If So, Where?): A Round-up of blogging platforms

To Blog or Not To Blog (And If So, Where?): A Round-up of blogging platforms There has been some talk on Facebook and Reddit  in recent weeks about blogging--whether it's still relevant, who is doing it, and what is the best platform. Well! It just so happens that I think it IS still relevant (obviously), and I have tried out a bunch of blogging platforms myself over the years. Some others I haven't tried personally, but I follow blogs on them, and have formed an opinion on their look and feel. Here's some per…

An Anxiety Dream? Again?

An Anxiety Dream? Again? I had an anxiety dream last night. I haven't had one in over two years. I wonder. I wonder if there have been any studies that correlate a lapse in anxiety/dark thoughts/nightmares with a brain bleed. Because I can't help but notice that my brain, in terms of anxiety/depression, is better, notably in the two years since I've had the stroke. I wouldn't recommend it, as far as improving the symptoms of mental illness. Now I have a …

Throwback to Morning Cuddles: January 1st 2018 (Video)

Throwback to Morning Cuddles: January 1st 2018 (Video) Joe is irresistibly adorable in the morning, hugging the Bear and telling me he loves me. I mean, can you even? 💓

Currently Listening: Jellyfish, Spilt Milk

Currently Listening: Jellyfish, Spilt Milk Today, I have been writing and listening to my favorite records. A lot of my favorite records, few have heard. But everyone should hear Jellyfish, Spilt Milk. So gorgeous! You know, there was a time, like thirty years ago , when I used to review local music. You had to describe music with words, crafted in such a way so as to have the reader able to "hear" it, to decide whether or not to support those musicians by buying the record. T…

Apartment hunting has begun...here's a wish-list...

Apartment hunting has begun...here's a wish-list... Fifteen years we've lived here. And loved it here. But alas, now, sometime in the next year, we have to go. Nothing bad, it's just that H&T are getting ready to sell the hose. Joe has already started to make plans for a big purge. We have dead electronics taking up space, and we both have collected way too many clothes. Things like that. We have time, we can sort thru and call some charities and junk removal services. But where to?  I…

My Stroke and Joe's Heart Transplant the Same Fuckinfg Week: August 2023

My Stroke and Joe's Heart Transplant the Same Fuckinfg Week: August 2023 I'm off Facebook for awhile, but the last thing I did was look up some of the old posts from August 2023. That's when I had my stroke, and Joe had a heart transplant. This post from August 6th 2023 posted by my brother-in-law is quite chilling. "This situation just became much more complex. As some of you know, our sister-in-law Michelle suffered a stroke last week. She is currently in the ICU and working on the long road to recov…

My Mother-in-law Is Brainwashed By Fox News And I Don't Know What To Do

My Mother-in-law Is Brainwashed By Fox News And I Don't Know What To Do MIL:  Says a Democrat Me:  What do you mean? Me: Nothing? Nothing to add? “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” —Mark Twain Me:  Every day it’s more dangerous. You have to stop watching Fox News and get on the right side of history. MIL:  maybe CNN, MSNBC, etc are the ones spreading false news. They never show both sides, only theirs. Me:  Well, what’s the “other side”? Me:  For the record, we haven't watc…

October 3rd At 3am

October 3rd At 3am I can’t sleep again.  It’s 3am. I often wake up at 3am.  Resisting the urge to get up and watch a movie.  I need to just turn over, grab the Bear, and turn off my brain.  I’ll try that.  Here’s an old post. I still wear that hat. I miss Panera. Not for food, just for coffee and writing. Everything I like goes away .
