Last Notes npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist "No parents are perfect", well, except our sons parents, of course 😇😅🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I really hope our books take off soon cause I need a fully functional kitchen where I can start baking myself, cause I NEEEEEED some of that tasty break you just described! My dad would bake bread sometimes when we were growing up and it was the best when it was fresh, but we'd also eat almost all of it directly cause it was SO TASTY! I made it once myself and it was great! But i can't make it in America cause what constitutes as Syrap in Sweden is thick and not the super liquidy stuff people put on pancakes here. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Well, I did look it up at the time and it's not fool proof, but there has been reported that a lot of women pregnant with boys have leaned more salty/savory. For me, I was hanging out a lot at Panera Bread's at the time working on some books and avoiding the heat and they had just come out with a spicy beef stack at the time, so I removed the spice cause I have quite a low spice tollerence, but I had that a few times and then I guess the need got filled, and I made sure to eat more meat in general as well and after that need was met, I started getting my normal sweet tooth back, just not as strong as before. I'd guess it depends on the woman and what her normal is, and what she usually eats, cause if the need is already being met, there would be less craving for it. But I only had that during the first half of the 2nd trimester or so. That was also during the time when I realized I couldn't shove down my feelings anymore either 🤣 Things that hurt me a little that I usually just ignored and let go of were amplified so I realized that I actually felt hurt by it. But that was also only during the 2nd trimester. (I've been missing having women to talk pregnancy and babies with, so I'm loving this opportunity to chat!) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Pregnancy is one of the most amazing things I've experienced, and I look forward to experiencing it again! Ceaser salads sounds like a good craving. As a kid I heard of someone who was craving flower soil 😅 I think that might have been a need for iron or something, so the person didn't actually need to eat dirt, but could get the need met in a better way. I had only 1 craving during the first trimester and that was for a bell pepper and once I'd eaten the whole thing, I was fine. I looked it up and they have a lot of vitamin A, so I'm guessing that's what I needed. I wonder what ceasar salads have 🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I ate salt and it cut the nausea I was feeling in the beginning. I didn't know that was a thing before. In the first trimester one time I wanted a bell pepper, and then I got one and cut it in half, thinking I'd leave half for the next day, and then 45 seconds after having finished the first half, I bit into the 2nd half and devoured that too. 🤣 2nd trimester I wanted savory foods, and the normally delicious looking ice cream ad gave me a negative reaction, and that's how I was like 95% sure I was having a boy! I loved it too. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I guess I've been in the game long enough (and on Nostr) that a post like this doesn't stir up excitement anymore, but rather has me going, "Obviously! Wait, are people still debating this?" 🤣 #nevent1q…e0xf npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Hm, does disabled actually mean someone who is really good a dissing people? Able to diss? 🤔🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Hey, I'm not zapping the video, I'm zapping the cat! 😎😸 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist ökkuh bnj,.hgygn ou 8 -john npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist What's wrong when I get this message whjen I try to upload images on Amethyst? https://blossom.primal.net/3038077828b5c6618e22994d1906e3d01aab72c675dca950a4edfe7ea7c9b8f5.jpg npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist YEEEEES!!!!! EXACTLY! 🤣🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Whenever I've seen people trying to say that coke is bad because it can be used to clean with, and to think of it like drinking cleaning products, I think, "You know what else is used to clean with? H2O. Better stop drinking water as well then!" I know coke isn't good for us, but it's not because it can be used to clean with. 🙄🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I usually get woke up by my son, but this morning was different. This morning, I woke up by him climbing onto my head! 🤣👶 "Yeah, okay, I'm up now!" I'd hoped for a bit more sleep but apparently until 6:08am was all I could get. Then a bit later he launched himself over me on his way to his dad. We love him! 🥰 @nprofile…3fyn npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Reminds me of what my son has started doing to my face lately. Except when he gets really close, he also slobbers on my face, and has slobbery fingers that he touches my face with, and he grabs my hair (working on him not doing that part 😅) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Sometimes this seems to be the thing that actually builds an audience. People being real and themselves, not trying to fit some algorithmic standards or target audience. Most people like more than one thing, and finding someone who shares multiple of the things I like is much more fun than having everything be separated! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I just watched a baking video with my son, and now I want to get baking ingredients so I can make cookies. However, we need to leave either tonight or tomorrow for a trip again, so maybe if we make some money during the trip, I can bring home some ingredients and have fun after. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Yeah, and since they're too narrow minded to see past the first layer of reality, they saw a few of those douches and generalized it to "ALL MEN", while at the same time acting like douches themselves 😇😅🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist So, this morning hubby looked after our son so I went back to sleep and dreamt that I was in a house on the 2nd story and found a mouse trap under a folded carpet at the top of the stairs... yeah, I have strange dreams sometimes 🤣 Right now I wish I had said mouse trap, cause I just heard a noise and went to check on it, and saw a MOUSE running into the vent above the counter about the washing machine in our motorhome 😳 yeah I want a mouse trap, I wish I had a cat, and also, if that snake I found next to our water tank 6 months ago was still here, I'd be okay with it if he ate the mouse before getting out of there 😅 but also, now I might need to check if snakes can get in there through the vents as well, so that's less fun 😖 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I was eating a homemade egg wrap while holding my son. He started reaching for it, and I pulled it away, but then he waited for the perfect moment and snatched a piece of egg! 🤣 I let him have it, but I'm not sure is he actually ate much if it or mostly sucked in it and made it into smaller pieces that I caught as they rolled down his body 🤣👶 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I had a friend who was greeting people at church during 2020, and they had 2 hand sanitizers for people to use. Then someone wrote "lactose free" on a piece of paper and put it in front of one of them, and people picked the other one, then they moved the sign, and people still picked the one without a sign, even though clearly both are lactose free 🤣 Vegan seems to be the opposite type of sign for some. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist As a wife, I make sure to speak truths like that to my husband as well! You clearly picked a great one! 🙂 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Hm, interesting. I know very little about relays, so the Amethyst guy (forgot his name) gave me some tips for what to put where which was very helpful. Sure, there are a lot of techies here on Nostr, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are more less aware users who also pay for relays so they don't know these things. 🤔 so, well done talking about it so at least maybe some users can adjust! 🙂 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist It's a lot easier to continue not doing something, than to stop doing something. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I don't know the technical words, but I know that if I send a DM from Primal it show up in Amethyst, but if I send one from Amethyst it doesn't show up on Primal, which makes selling products through Nostr kind of sketch. Is that the kind of thing you're referring to? npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist As I read this, about 1 minute ago. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I knew bellybuttons changed during pregnancy and that a lot of women get outies of they didn't already have one, which I kind of did at the very end, but I didn't realize that my bellybutton wouldn't go back to how it had been before pregnancy once I was no longer pregnant. 🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist First time I've ever seen the word "panko", so your simple is on a very different level than my simple 😅 My 'complicated' is putting ground beef in a glass pan, add garlic salt and some general spice, add one can of tomato sauce, topped off with a layer of cheese, and then microwaved 😅🤣🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist So, my son bit me on the jaw... 🥴👶 I kinda wonder if it was from us going namnam on his jaw area, or if he was just trying to taste me as he fist went on my clothed shoulder, and then my face, or if he was trying to kiss me, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of having teeth yet. When I recoiled and looked at him, he had the biggest smile on his face, which is quite normal for him, but still. He was just happy to be close to me I suppose 😅 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I've been digitizing my moms diaries, started with my birthday and just finished my brother's. I want cake, and all the foods I grew up on, and I'm also starting to think about what to do de our kids birthdays,starting with our son whose turning 8 months tomorrow, so there's only 4 months until he's 1 🤯😱🤯 Does he get cake? Does he get a party? Will/would any relatives come by? What gifts might we be able to get him??? npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Thanks for explaining. I love it! For a bit there, our son did all back wheel and zero front, as if, he was face planted and pushing with his legs, so all the power went straight into his face. I suppose that could be called having the handbrake on 🤔🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist What is AWD and FWD? Our son mixes in getting up on his knees but then lays back down so he gets further than simply moving his knees forward, But I think I can imagine two of them belly crawling 🤗 it's so fun watching babies learn! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Freedom of speech means no legal consequences for the speech itself. However, if someone says they're planning to commit a crime, those plans can be investigated and the person can have legal consequences based on the prepared crime. So, it's not the words but rather the actions taken around the words. Also, in a non legal sense, freedom of speech often have consequences. If someone says something bad they may be punched in the face. If a person freely uses their speech to propose to someone, those words, and the words used as a response have very weighty consequences. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Our son was a bit more whiny than usual yesterday, I thought it was mostly cause he was tired and he was too excited to explore everything to take a nap, as it was his first day at home in about 2.5 weeks. Then today I was playing with him, and held him upside down which is one of his favorite positions, and I saw something in his upper gums, I quickly put him back down and checked with my finger, Yep! He's getting his first upper tooth!!! 🤯🥳🤗👶 Squeezing the 3rd tooth out before he turns 8 months in a few days I guess 🥰 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist We need a place that tracks all the trends so we can go back to check them out. I remember the shoe on head, everyone turned into Noshole, puzzle explosion, and googly eyes, just at the top of my head, but I think there were probably a lot more! (I didn't join any of them, still waiting for one I'd like to join 😅🤣) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Aah, I have very limited internet access when ever we're on the road, which we have been a lot lately (finally home for a bit 🥳) so it seems I missed it completely. Though I vaguely remember something from quite a while back that reminds me of this 🤔 but it was from before puzzles took over, so if it was that, I'd assume they're all goners by now 😅 (I'm not familiar with Ditto either.🥴) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Growing up we got a few birds inside... though my cat brought them, so they were in kinda rough shape 😅 We put a bell on that cat and she still brought home birds 🙄 Her daughter brought mice inside 😬 Then the granddaughter brought a white bunny inside... probably taken from our neighbor 😅 oops! I'm glad your bird looks like it came in by itself, and is just chilling! ☺️ npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist What are blobbis? I somehow missed their existence completely 😬😅 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Nah, I actually like myself, and I like men, and I like how we're different, and I like how we fit and work well together when we work as partners, and I like not being the only reliable person in the relationship, and I like also being the fun one. I like being me, and I like my husband as he is, and I like following him around, assisting him, sharing my dreams with him and seeing how he helps me get them. And I LOVE being a mom to our son! So, yeah, I think I'll just skip that feminist bs and tax/debt slave thing, and instead live a happy and enjoyable life with as much passive in come as we can get! 😎 I have chosen the better path 😇😎 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Feminism says men are bad, and then they try to do all the things men do. Looks to me like it's more about them thinking that women are bad. If they actually thought women were good they would emphasize the female characteristics as good! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Why do people keep trying to make the argument that it's a burden to carry and birth a child? It's a privilage and amazing experience that no man can ever experience. Currently hearing a debate where someone is arguing that being drafted and having babies are supposedly equal, but it's not. Women can join the military, but men can never birth a child. Women can choose to have kids or not, but men don't have a choice if the govenment decides to draft them. I believe that one of the ways to increase the birthrates is to stop spreading the lie that it's bad to be pregnant and birth babies and being moms. I looked into pregnancy planners when we first started trying for babies, and saw that they all covered how women experience morning sickness at least during the first trimester, while some have it the entire pregnancy, HOWEVER, when looking into it at least 30%, if not 50%, never experience morning sickness. And it's similar with all the other symptomes. This is why I made my own pregnancy planner after Heaven's standard where Jesus blood paid for everything, so there is no longer any reason to experience any of it. Sure, sometimes we need to fight it off, but negative pregnancy symptoms shouldn't be the most talked about, and certaintly not talked about as inevitable facts of pregnancy, as that's simply not true. How about we focus more on the positives of pregnancy? At least 9 months or naturally paused periods, up to at least 6 months more if breastfeeding. Getting to feel the creation of another human being move around inside us. Flutters, flips, and eventually kicks and punches. Sure they might hurt but they are also spetacular! They're a sign of life, plus, we always get to have a companion. Getting to see how our bodies were created to create more life, how they change and how the belly grows, how the bladder gets pressure, then released and then get pressed again through the trimesters. Getting amazing hair that barely sheds at all (though all that hair that stuck around ends up falling out once the baby is out which can be disconcerning but it just goes back to the normal amount of hairs) Not to mention the absolutely mindblowing and heart flooding experience of getting to see your very own little baby develop and learn and smile at you and giggle at you and crawl over to you and want to be close to you, and all the things we get to experience with the baby once it's been born! Babies are amazing. Pregnancy is great and wonderful, and having our own babies are totally different than babysitting someone else's babies. Fur babies are nowhere near the real deal. Humans are amazing, and creating and caring for them are totally worth getting celebrated, and not mocked or cursed or spoken about as a burden. It is a privelage. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Firstly, this is Nostr, please don't be rude, that's for X. Secondly, I was talking about a physical market/conference, Silk Road was digital. And my internet is super slow and doesn't load the names of npubs, so if Ross was tagged, I would have known what it was talking about. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist We'll come and bring our books to sell! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I guess we'll just need to host our own, True Bitcoin conference! Oooh, or we can make a circular economy bitcoin conference!!! Where merchants can come sell their stuff for bitcoin directly 🤯🥳🤗 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I gotta get new souls, not the human kind, but the shoe kind, just to be clear 🤣🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Did you check yours? Did it prompt the same thing when you logged in? Ours said it would be deleted on the May 6th, 2026. Glad you saw my post! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist If your favorite author has passed away, he's still your favorite author, so I think time travel would be allowed! 🤗 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist "If you could have dinner with your favorite author, who would it be and why?" I already get to have dinner with my favorite author everyday! My favorite person happens to also be an author. No, I have not replicated Stephen King's story "Misery"! 😅 My favorite author happens to have actually chosen to spend the rest of his life with me completely voluntarily. 🥰 @nprofile…3fyn Who would you pick??? npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist So, KDP on Amazon has just decided to KYC. This means that to sell books through them we need to verify identity, give them government ID and apparently take a selfie. 🤯🤬😒 And if we don't do it, they'll terminate the account in 2 weeks?!?!?! What if we hadn't logged in? Did they generate the date based on login, or are there a bunch of authors who are about to loose their entire livelyhood because they happen to not login and KYC themselves in time? It's very tempting to get our own book printing going, except there isn't a machine that can do the whole process from printing to covers, they're all separete parts. Might need to invent our own! 🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Recently I've been seeing a comment on my posts when I first open Amethyst, but when I click on it there's nothing there and then when it loads it goes away. Is it someone I've blocked? Or is it just a weird glitch? And if it's someone I've blocked, who is it? Are they kind and misblocked, a bot, or bad actor? I kinda wish I could see the username of blocked people who still leave comments. I don't want to see their profile pictures though, cause sometimes that's the reason I blocked them in the first place. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Yeah, or they wonder "why are all the good ones taken" (cause that's the only time they ever get to see the good ones) Or "there are no good men left" (cause they're fishing in the sewage, not the ocean.) If a woman pursues good character over looks, she'll attract men of good character as well. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist You get what you fish for, and some women don't realize that fishing with their bodies won't attract the good and competent men with good character. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Our books are missing from your bookshelf! 😱 Quick, go order one of each and complete the ultimate bookcase library through FikaTimeBooks.com 😇🤣🤣 (I've hung out with confident brazen bitcoiners on Nostr, my filter has shrunk 🤣) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Well, t-rex is not as dangerous as they've been made out to be, I think someone more recently figured they were grass eaters. A lot of current findings are mixed in with dog bones cause at least in China, they'd get paid for the finds, and thus they mix what they can get their hands on. Or so I've heard. But yeah, it would be interesting. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist What about those who didn't identify traffic lights correctly? 🤔 😬 I hope that's not for the AI who handles self-driving! 😱 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Intelligence isn't an act, it's based on reality, while crazy and retarded are distortions of reality, thus acting those ways are in fact an act. So, anyone acting intelligent is also pretending to be something they're not, acting beyond reality, thus they are NOT intelligent. Can you tell I 'am' intelligent, rather than simply 'act' intelligent? 😇🤣😎 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist About to head back out after about a week at home. Last time we headed home, we were tailgated by a drunk female driver for at least 5 minutes at 55mph on i40 (it's like 75 there!) I saw the car go into our shadow multiple times, but I didn't mention it to my husband who's turned the mirrors to avoid seeing tailgaters he needs to forgive all the time. Had I said something and he slowed down at all, we could have been hit. He only found out when she finally pulled up next to us, and he thought she was punishing the semi behind her, before she reached out a hand towards us making a strange hand motion while smiling. So, first he thought maybe she was trying to tell him something about our car, but she didn't try to say anything. Then after a while she pulled back behind us and then stopped following us as we hit some hills and were able to drive faster thanks to gravity. A while later she passed us and then tailgated and apparently break checked some other driver who passed her and then she swayed between the lanes behind a semi for a while in front of us and then she was gone. We saw a cop in the median and then crested a hill and there was a fresh accident. A man was walking up the road so gunny yelled out "are you okay?" And he answered that he couldn't hear cause of chock and that some lady rammed them and to not let her go. We pulled off in front of a semi who's driver got out with a bundle of blankets for the driver and his lady and daughter. Hubby went over and chatted with them as we went through something similar a couple of year ago, though that driver wasn't drunk and we didn't flip over like 5 times! The driver was a ways up the road in the median. When we eventually passed it we saw how smashed the front passenger side of the engine was. The driver texted my hubby later that evening and let him know they were all okay (just some cuts and probably bruises) A cop called us for a statement the next day and at the end let us know that she was drunk. We'd assumed at the very least she had contaminated thinking! So, hoping we won't encounter any more weird driving experiences this time! Happy to talk to the cops that time too, usually I don't like it npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Aaah interesting idea!!! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Interesting idea. 🤔 I know in Sweden there are a lot of people who fled because of the conditions in their countries, since some had moved to Sweden, they knew how different it was, and how "wealthy" it was, so if they got in trouble, they'd want to move to Sweden over other countries, because they also had relatives there. Some came cause they had gotten saved through a dream of a man dressed in white who said his name was Jesus, and they'd get killed in their own country, but then others who come with way more malicious intent also moved. I heard from a refugee center that the man who was selling drugs and hurting or at least scaring people got asylum, while the ones who had entered Sweden for some other reason and them gotten saved, so now they have a legit reason not to go back, well, they were denied because the Swedish immigration courts are so secularized that they have no idea how to spot a true conversion. Plus, a Muslim would never get baptized to Jesus, unless they have a death wish! So, yeah, if they didn't know that the western countries had enough money to spend on the Arab nations, maybe less would have come, or maybe only those with ilintent who want to come kill all Christians due to their religious beliefs would have come 🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist My brother used to kill mosquitoes and leave them to deter others! Then my husband did when we killed one in the ceiling of our van, it's still there and we haven't really been attacked by mosquitoes since... we also haven't really been around water since but that's totally different! It's obviously only because of the deterring factor of a murdered mosquito in our ceiling! 😎🤣 Interesting idea with the ziplock bags! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist So, your morning is noon? 😇🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist They were falling from the ceiling the tithe r light and landing eight on me. I just didn't lost about it at the time. No fun. I'm really looking forward to when it's over! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist The ones we have only come in at night when the lights are on, and they come through the window cracks. We have a normal fly swatter and it's easy to kill them if they're sitting still or walking in the ceiling, I just really don't like when they fall down on me! 😳😖 We live in the desert, so it's already over 30c dyeing the day and in the teens at night, and this is actually cooler than it was the last 2 or more weeks! If we keep the lights off, they don't come in. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Nope, these are all black, and I'm pretty sure one bit me last year! After that happened I lost all mercy for them 😅 Lady bugs are the only ones who still have some mercy left from me. All other bugs, and insects, my first thought when I see one is, "how do I kill this!?!" 😇😅🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist It's that season again where little beatles somehow make it inside and crawl in the ceiling and randomly fall down on me... 😣 I try to kill them before that happens. Did I mention I hate bugs?! 🤨 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I'm so excited for other diapers! I changed his diaper at midnight, then woke up at 3am and put my hand on his tummy and found a wet spot!? The diaper was already full and had leaked!!! They claim it's the right size for him and that they could hold up to 12h??? Never getting the Signature diapers again unless it's an emergency! This is way too much maintenance 😖 How's your morning? 🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I've been to 16 countries, not including transit, and 5 continents, and 37 US states. How many places have you been to? 🤔🤗 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Truth! #nevent1q…6jt7 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I cut my own hair. I have straight hair, and after someone else had cut my hair so the end was straight, I figured I'd give it a go. I cut off about the same amount from the bottom on all the hair, making sure each side was the same length. I also try to not cut it straight at the end, but move the scissors up and down a little as I cut very little at a time, or cut almost straight up so not a big chunk gets shorter than the rest. (Or something like this) I don't do layers though, other than maybe cutting it with a middle part and then usually actually having a side part, and thus one side has more layers naturally 😅 It's way easier to cut my husbands hair, cause it's short on the sides and a little longer on top, and I once saw someone during the lockdowns cutting her boyfriends hair with their hairdresser talking her through it, so I learned one of the keys. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist This reminds me of my husband. He too enjoys seeing our solar system work well! I've considered taking the meme with the couple in bed where the lady is thinking "I bed he's thinking about other women" and he's actually thinking about something different, but I'd be thinking, "I bet his thinking about solar" 🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Not sure I could eat heart. I've eaten bull cheek before, but since I knew what it was as it's a really dark meat, I stopped being able to eat it cause I kept thinking if buying my own cheek the whole time 😅😖 liver I can do. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Yes, I didn't accidentally go vegan 😳😅 I think the beans were very helpful too. At first I didn't think I'd like that much beans cause I've tried it before and don't really like beans, but Mexican beans are very flavorful. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist No, and I was surprised that I wasn't craving meat more during these days. But we did have it in other meals so that might be why. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Yeah, that's probably it! My husband and I made our own human so we have endless entertainment even when social media is a bore. Like right now, our almost 7 month old son is laying next to me, randomly squealing, and playing with/eating an empty Whoppers box. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I wonder if it's cause people are taking the day off as to not get tricked by fake information on this here April fools day 🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist If I ever drink stronger alcohol, I'm gonna need to drink it straight, cause I'm not gay 🤣🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist We saw a mansion walkthrough the other day, it was on the market for only 12.5 million dollars. Had an adventure pool room, 2 lane bowling alley, half basketball court, 9 car garage, big cinema room, 6 huge bedrooms, a kids playroom with a built in full sized tiny kitchen (but no water or gas of course) and a slide unit a ball pit, and much more. My thought was, oh, that seems attainable, I could live there. It was fun rather than sterile like some mansions. Eh, we currently live in a motorhome 😎🤣 So, since living there doesn't scare me, are you saying I'm not dreaming big enough? Or is it big enough (for now) since if I think of getting there still seems a bit daunting? 😃 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I don't have enough money to be a fed. 🤣 if I was, I'd demand a raise. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist What's something fun you really enjoyed about one of your childhood birthdays? In Sweden, when I was a kid it was super popular to have a "fiskdamm" (fishing pond?) Which was basically an adult hiding behind a sheet and kids holding a stick with a string tied to a clothespin. They'd throw it over the sheet and the adult would clip it to a small bag of candy, and tug on the string when the kid could pull it back. One year, my mom "who isn't very creative", made bags that looked like fish, because that's way more realistic and fun than a boring paper bag! (She's way more creative than she thought, clearly! No other parents did this!) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I've been digitizing my moms old 5 year diaries, and started with my birthday. I did age 3 to 7 today, so now I want cake! 🤣 It's also fun to read as I now have a child of my own! I still have 5 months to think of how to celebrate his first birthday, but after reading about my own, I now want to do something special for him! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist We've been getting hamburger meat at Safeway, and it's actually pretty cheap, much cheaper than at other stores, which I wasn't expecting! Around $4 / lb. And sometimes even cheaper! Yeah, I'd run out of chicken for dinner much sooner! Though as you say, it can be made in lots of different ways and that works make it easier to eat it multiple days in a row. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist How many days in a row can you eat the same dinner and still enjoy it? We've had the same thing fir 5 days, then one day we got free food from elsewhere so our streak was broken. Then we started again and are now back at 5 days. So, the last 11 days we've had the exact same dinner for 10 of the days! And yes, I'm still enjoying it. Never thought that would be the case for me, I usually want different flavors quite often. Bean, cheese, rice burrito from Filibertos Mexican food, with chips and their guacamole salsa or whatever it is. It's spicy but I still like it. WHO AM I?!?! 😯🤯🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist While being stuck in a multi mile long line of cars due to roundabouts today, I got an intense desire to make bumper stickers that read "I stop at roundabouts" and sticking them on all the cars that stop for no reason, causing the traffic, just to shame them a bit, but then I heard myself and I want nothing to do with shaming people, so I guess I won't be getting those bumper stickers after all 😔 😅 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist We certainly pick up things from those we spend a lot of time with. We can choose to reject some of it, but it usually has to be consciously addressed, or we pick it up. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Do you ever catch yourself hearing what you said and wonder why you use that phrase, cause it doesn't really even make sense? I caught myself telling my son to not worry cause I was gonna put him in his carseat and cover it so the sun wouldn't get in his eyes.... He's almost 7 months old, I'm pretty sure he has no concept of "worry", and I sure don't want to teach it to him! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Well done. A lot of people find their identity in their job, so if the lose it, they lose themselves. It's much better to just use it as a means to an end, and get our identity from God. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Watched Hail Mary last night. Totally worth it. I really liked the relationships and how humor was weaved in with intelligence! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist This morning, I turned around to get a new diaper for our son, and when I turned back, he had somehow gotten a hold of my cell phone and was eating it like corn on the cob, with a satisfied smile across his face. 🤣👶🌽 I had to let him keep it for a bit, cause "to him goes the spoils" 🤣🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Exactly! "You have to have a job" usually also comes out of those people's mouths. And no, actually I don't. I can work without having a job. Having a job is NOT the end all be all, or highest purpose of life. npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Whenever I hear people talking about women giving up or putting their dreams on hold to care for children, I get a strong gutteral disagreeing reaction! Being a mom is amazing! It's LITERALLY a dream come TRUE! I am currently living the dream. Yes, I have other things I'd like to do as well, but I actually can do some overlap of dreams. I'm still able to work on books, even if it's a whole lot slower. I'm still able to accomplish daily dreams like going to the movies and traveling. Bringing our son makes the adventures even more fun! #nevent1q…vxgm npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Agreed! We will be homeschooling as well. The other day I was helping my husband shop a big shopping order and an old man saw our son and commented that he just got a grand child and he likes being a grandpa more than parent cause he can hand her back to her parents. Both me and my husband reacted cause we love being parents. I do sometimes need a break from holding our son, but I hand him to my husband so he's still with me! (They're both with me! 🥰) npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist YES!!!!! npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Our son went to his first movie theater today! He slept through the whole movie, and only woke up when there was about 3 seconds left of the end credits! 😎 I handed him to my husband who lifted him up to show him what a movie theater looks like, and a man and woman a few rows back commented about not having heard a sound, and asked him if he'd enjoyed the movie. Turned out to be the Harkin's Movie Theater owner! Mr. Dan Harkin himself! His dad started the business in the 30s I believe it was, and when he passed away in 74, Dan took over. At the time they had 8 screens over 5 theaters (I believe he said) now they're in multiple States and all theaters have multiple screens. They were really impressed with our happy, smiling, and laughing son 🤗😎 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist *Baby hack at the end 🤗👶 Our son has been coming with is whuoe we shop for people, and he's been doing great at sitting in the cart! One store had straps on the child seat that I used and found very helpful! But the Safeway doesn't have those, so I've been needing to assist our son as he tips over sometimes when he turns. We got a big order this afternoon and our son looked a little tired, so I grabbed my sweatshirt and then I realized that I could tie it like those straps, and it was so helpful! He tipped sideways, but they held him up and kept him from sliding too far over. Then they also helped keep him warmer when we ran out of space and I put milk gallons next to him on the seat 😅😎👶 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Our son gets so much attention! We were doing a big shopping order today, and he was sitting in the cart that was overfilled with items. Some lady walked past it and commented, "oh, it's a baby!" She'd seen movement in the cart as she passed it and turned back to see what it was. Then she joked that she'd buy one if they sold them 🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist It's so fun feeding our son! He get excited and if it's a new food, he grimaces as he tried to figure out this new flavor, but looks excited again when I offer him more! 🤗👶 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist Yes, two kinds of peace, internal, and external. I've got the internal one, but a hubby who recently has been staying up later than me, and a baby who wakes up with the sun, way before I'm ready to wake up, are two external things that interrupt my peaceful sleep! 🤣 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist It's just weird cause Americans are allowed to turn right on a red light after stopping, but a lot of people never actually stop. Nor do they stop at stop signs unless it's not their turn and they have to wait. But when it's a roundabout with a yield sign, they stop and wait for several seconds 🤯🤔 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist I'm not so sure Chuck Norris really died so much as assended to a higher reality after completing every level of earth life... #nevent1q…q292 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist My son just moved his very wet and slobbery hand from his own face, and basically slapped it over my mouth/nose and held it there for a while... Did I mention that I don't like getting slobbered on?! 😬🥴🤣👶 npub1ww8hsuav93ktwuq7x9gxz6husfphnvfjk3nm5k5y982evjh3kymqh4wakr AnnSofiNovelist A boy just passed our table following his dad, stopped, turned around and came back and say hi to our son who's sitting at the end of the table in a high chair, the turned back and ran to catch up to his dad. 🤣👶
