I use the great fairy fountain from old school Zelda (ocarina of time specifically) as my wake up alarm, as it’s very peaceful to wake to. But still nerdy. It went with Navi going “hey listen!” Every time I got a text ;)

Mostly I use my watch alarm tho, which is vibration that starts gentle and gets stronger, and that’s plenty.

If I get shocked awake I have a panic attack. I try to avoid that.

I’m usually 5. I have a lot of uncomfortable physical issues, but I’ve learned to find positives in life where they are, and just roll with things I have no control over.

I have a washcloth I got when I was like 6.. I’m almost 40. It’s a really nice mesh washcloth and somehow it only has one extra hole that shouldn’t be there, as well as a seam for the edging that needs to be fixed.

I’ve used it almost daily for my face that whole time.

But the oldest thing I have that I sort of technically use is a wheelchair from WWI. It functions as a chair in my living room. I don’t really think it counts, being furniture, though.

This comment is the closest I’ve come to understanding the problem, can you be more explicit about why bussy is a thing?

Is it because pussy? But the bum? I’m so confused.

They expanded in the liquid. That should help.

Whenever I get Benedryll (I assume what’s pictured) there’s a lot of carrier material (supposedly for the tummy), but if you get Sudafed by itself (the main ingredient) it’s a tiny little round pill.

Just curious, have you watched the show with the same name as your account?

I guess it’s for kids to help them deal with trauma. I downloaded it due to super high ratings, but I haven’t watched it yet (and might not; I don’t have or want kids, but I like having good stuff for friends with them)

When I moved into my last apartment, my entire storage area was full of bags of cans.

They belonged to a neighbor, who was using my empty storage because his was full, I found out 2 weeks later when he came ripping up to my door demanding to know what I did with his money.

When I found out he meant the cans, I laughed, told him I threw out his trash for him, and told him if he ever darkened my door again I’d call the cops.

They weren’t even crushed. His own storage was probably plenty if he’d be less lazy.

My biggest issue with my weight is feeling like I can’t talk to anyone about it because I struggle to keep weight on, rather than lose it. I had to see a nutritionist years ago because I was bordering on underweight. Normally I can keep to a specific number, but when I stop paying attention I start loosing it.

I’m “skinny fat”. But I can’t talk to many people about the problems of maintaining weight because from the outside they think I’m fit and healthy and should shut up because gaining is “easy”.

I have a strategy for getting rid of stuff without that “oh I could use that thing I just threw out last week” devastation. It’s not super handy for organizing, but it does make organizing easier when you have less stuff. Maybe it’ll help you or someone else :)

What I do is go through stuff in rooms I rarely use. That’s where the junk tends to accumulate because when I clean the rest of the house the junk without a home goes into a spare room.

When I go through that junk, I put anything I think I want to throw out (assuming it’s not just straight garbage; that gets tossed) into one box, and anything I think I want to donate in another box. Everything else either gets put away somewhere (I have a lot of dressers/shelves for junk) or goes into a box of stuff to keep, like mementos and stuff.

When full, even if it takes months to fill it, I write the date and target action (donate/toss) on the boxes. And then I let them sit for 6 months. Unopened.

The 6 months is important because it erases all that junk from your mind. If you just toss it, that stuff is front and center in your mind so anything you do will naturally use that thing as a solution. If you let that memory fade, and don’t renew it, you don’t have that problem. If you decide you want something in the box, open it, take the thing, and put the new date on the box, to restart the 6 months. Never add anything to an existing full box; this breaks the workflow. Start a new one for new junk.

After 6 months has passed without the boxes being opened, do the thing with them you meant to (donate it or throw it out) without opening it. You no longer really know what’s in it, only that you haven’t needed any of it for a long time and it’s ok to get rid of it.

Bam, ability to clean and downsize without the crippling obsession with not throwing out something you’ll need a week later.

5,6,9 only ones that really make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.

Being super strong would mean you’d likely end up doing a lot of physical activity for yourself and others, but it would also mean that your resting metabolism is significantly higher than baseline which handily takes care of the fat/weight problem.

Being taller would be fine I guess but, and I say this as a woman in the bottom 25% in height, it wouldn’t actually make any substantial difference in life, beyond being able to touch the floor in a standard chair.

Having a lot of money takes care of shopping without stopping it, As well as the followers thing (rich people are often famous, and if not they can dump some money into something to make them famous if they want) and I feel being happy over-rides forgetting your ex, cuz you wouldn’t feel bad about it.

Wolfboy and the everything factory needs to be on this list. Same mostly cute and light (even when heavy) vibe with super enjoyable characters and magic.

It should be #2 in the list imho.

Niko and the sword of light is a pretty good fit too but it’s more adventure-type.

Some days, to avoid disturbing my sleeping cats, I sleep sideways across the head of my bed curled around them. Those days I swim in a sea of pillows.

So I guess d?
