I read that “washing " the skin in moonbeams, is a physical metaphor for spiritual cleansing, clearing out negative energy, and charging oneself with creative or romantic vitality. Need me some of that! I also read you can do this up to three days? If so I’ll be outside naked tonight!
I’m realizing that long-term relationships between two people don’t require perfectly equal contributions in every category. Differences in practical effort can be balanced by affection, intimacy, companionship, or other forms of closeness. But when one person keeps carrying more while also feeling starved for connection, giving stops feeling like love and starts feeling like depletion. That can result in detachment, not indifference.
Care can be genuine and still not be enough to create reciprocity.
@DonnaMaeGP Wow, Donna, now everyone under 60 is Googling “Japanese soldier Philippines jungle.” 😂 But I’ll save them the search: Hiroo Onoda surrendered in 1974.
@vcrqueenjen I’m so sorry for your loss, Jen. Having to go through your dad’s things is hard enough without the world adding one more awful moment. Sending you a lot of love. ❤️
@CapoEstoicoX Certainly I’ve not been in every American supermarket, but I’ve never seen a supermarket with a checkout procedure like you describe.
Did you see this firsthand?
What is the name of the store?
I bought the HexClad Hybrid Double Burner Griddle. It was perfectly flat out of the box. I seasoned it according to the instructions, then cooked bacon. As you can see, it bowed upward in the middle. It handled the bacon, but eggs or pancakes would run toward the edges. It’ll be on its way home soon.
