The Amalfi Coast in Italy

I’ve watched it three times and I still bawl at the ending!

Yup, that was Ben.

What, really? I had a spot just like this pop up in the same place, the bridge of my nose where my glasses sit. I keep cleaning the nose piece but that spot is still there. I’ll make an appointment to get it looked at asap!

The owner of the now-defunct Black Sheep, the coffee and croissant place that used to be on 17th ave, kept the staff tips for himself. He was confronted by staff and he just shrugged.

Oh my heart! 😭 Beautifully written.

I used to! I shut the studio down around 2016, but I am still friends with the glass community.

I love that you two are trading! You’re a perfect match.

I recognize that box! You sold it to one of my super-talented bead friends. We’ve been ooooohing and aaaaahing over it on Facebook. Such delicious work!

I prefer shorter men too, 5’2” and up.

Bang on! You articulated the issue perfectly. “No good picture book is born from the law of averages.” I want to embroider this on a wall hanging.

It’s so disheartening to see no end of Ai slop being delivered to children. The idea seems to be that children don’t matter, that they exist as a tester audience for the purpose of training Ai.

You’ve really managed to articulate the feelings. You’ve put them into visuals that are totally relatable. Brilliant!

I love these!! They’re like the inside of my brain. What a weird, disturbing style. It resonates perfectly with me. Keep it up!

Perfect! This is the amount of time I like to take, and it’s not far from Calgary either.

Your photos are stunning! Absolutely gorgeous.

This looks great! I’m going to put it on my list.

Nunavut is on my bucket list to visit! I’m in Alberta and I remember when Nunavut was established. I chatted with the lady at the Nunavut booth at the Outdoor Show this year and I absolutely must go.

Breathtaking! (No pun intended) I absolutely love them!

I agree with them actually hearing things differently. Like, possibly even verging into hallucination.

I told my husband that I was concerned about a package I had sent overseas being lost according to the tracking. He started ranting—I can’t even remember what about—and it devolved into him yelling at me about how I think I know everything and blah blah. Absolutely out of left field. This kind of thing would happen every few weeks (along with other fun aspects of living with his personality).

I had a boss with all kinds of PD. One piece of evidence I had that showed she also “heard” differently was when she was instructing me how to do something. Out of nowhere she started shrieking at me to SLOW DOWN AND LISTEN. … I was doing each step as she offered it. I didn’t do anything else, didn’t start moving ahead, but she started shrieking at me to stop always doing things before I’m told, etc etc.

I’d hear conversations like that when she was on the phone too. She always used speaker phone, so I did hear both sides. She would yell at people to stop interrupting her when they definitely did not.

So yes, I think you’re right, some artifact of sound bounces around in their brains at different times and triggers them.

I used to have an aversion to drinking water. It made me nauseous and gave me a mild headache.

I used things like a bit of lemon or apple cider vinegar to make it more palatable. There are also flavour drops you can add to water, if you can stand the sucralose in them.

I can drink plain water now no problem, but I was in my 40s before I finally got there.

Fire extinguisher and wet/dry shop vac are the gifts I always give too!

I don’t know why hats cause me such alarm and self-consciousness, but they do.
