Two cats is the perfect number of cats. It's hard when they adopt you though.

Oh neat! I live in basically Little Brazil, Massachusetts and they text laugh like that as well.
I see you too have Brazilian friends lol
*elective 🤦
Just to let you know, picking skin is not inherently a symptom of some deep hidden trauma. Sometimes brains do things a little randomly without there being deep psychological reasons behind it all, and that's fine, if that's the case.
Talk to your therapist about it, but don't think you need to go hunting down some secret trauma, if you don't feel traumatized or don't remember experiencing trauma. Because sometimes the answer is just "brains do be like that though"
Almost all miscarriages are unexplained. Because research into health issues that primarily affect women is still in the fucking dark ages.
I had a friend who suffered multiple miscarriages (including one that wouldn't complete itself and almost required surgical intervention because she was bleeding so badly - a procedure that her home state of Ohio is trying to ban now because it's the exact same procedure that is used in ~~electric~~ elective abortions.
After so many losses they finally figured out that her progesterone levels were extremely low and supplemented progesterone the next time she got pregnant. She now has a healthy baby boy as a result.
Medicine doesn't even have solutions for so many of these problems, and half the government wants to take away one of the few tools available to us to keep women alive and healthy.
Fetuses are not babies.
Just gonna shout out Clare for any elder or younger Millennials in the crowd. Their colors are chef's kiss
I go between them and Benjamin Moore, just because so the pros over ever hired to work on my house use Ben Moore, and I figure there must be a reason.
Yeah, you did exactly what I wanted to do haha. I just love the Mitsu products so much. I had Mitsu mini-splits when I lived down in the Caribbean, and I'm a complete convert. I did install a supplemental Mitsu mini-split in the largest room in my house, which actually is so god damned efficient, it reduces the load on the central heat pump. The two combined get me through a really reasonable portion of the year. Those things are just amazing.
This is the problem I'm facing though:
Our electric rates went from 18¢ to 25¢ last winter with no warning. It's not that our prices are particularly high for now, but rather that they're unreliable. I didn't feel secure installing an electric only system because of this, even though I could have gotten a more efficient system. The dual fuel allows me to toggle between the two as needed, which feels like the safer option for the next 15-30 years that I expect to have this thing.
Sucks because I'd really prefer to have one of those Mitsubishi hyperheat systems. But even with the less efficient system, I'm running in heat pump only mode in the to 0⁰C nights we're seeing right now and it's fine.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Inca Dove is offensive so much as it's inaccurate, and while we're doing a mass name change, might as well change that one too.
Honestly, I wish we would just bite the bullet and do this with a lot of inaccurately named biochemistry stuff lol
