Pretty much anything on a roof will cool you down. The soil which will contain water is slower to heat while the plants will be be absorbing solar energy and “perspiring” to cool you down.
Locations under large trees can be locally up to 10 degrees colder in the summer and 10 degrees warmer in the winter.
My daughter is also due in September. I know that its just the voice for the first few months. So I got to practice my reading outload. My wife says I rush when reading to her belly. In my defense Heading Home with Your Newborn is important but not the easiest to talk through
Done that before. It scary
Its never to early to read The Hobbit to get someone a lifelong addiction to the LoTR. I was trying for in-utero but my wife was not interested.
If you are kinky and are feeling bad about I would highly recommend you start listening and reading to my boy Dan Savage America’s longest running sex-advice columnist. Hearing and understanding other people’s kinks will put your own into perspective and you will understand that the only thing typical about human sexuality is how atypical it is. Almost everyone has at least 1 “non-normative sexual desires” so keep that it mind.
How do you get rid of kink? You don’t. You can’t. You can try but it will always come back. So you will need to understand this about yourself and accept it. Sexuality has been keep our species alive and fucking since before we were Homo sapiens. You can’t fight it.
There is a potential to pivot a kink if you understand what it is about the kink that turns you on. If you are interested in humilating and degrading the root of this may just be a power exchange. Power exchange is pretty typical and almost all kinks have an aspect of that which may fulfill that itch for in person sex. You also can keep a kink to yourself even in a relationships. So you might be “out” about being into a submissive role but not share you are in degradation with your partner.
If you are interested in learning more I would recommend you read The New Bottoming Book and the The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy. (Note the cover change in these pdfs). They will really open your eyes about how kinks are not some curse but a fun quirk of your sexuality’s that gives your partners something fun to play with. Congratulations have Fun.
Also to note that some female athletes have started to try to get their big events to happen follicular phase of their cycle. During this time they are stronger, faster and better than other parts of their cycles. Its all based on their hormone. I was chatting with some crazy distance runners who were trying to only schedule their big marathons / ultra marathons during their follicular phase only. They also try to get their distance runs and recovery days synced with their cycles. You really need an app for that.
I feel like a the rhythm of walking helps to moderate my thinking too.
This is actual scientific fact. Walking is a great way to do bilateral stimulation which calms the body. It activated the vagus nerve and the and the parasympathetic nervous system. Not even counting the calming effect nature and being around a community does for you
And that brick was thrown by a trans woman. That’s a definitely fact for sure
In high school is was one of our go to. I think I watched it almost monthly for a few years
I loved The Pick of Destiny. Its ridiculous and I love it
I don’t use Signal (gasp I know). But this is a great workaround.
My favorite way to share files is to compose an email and attach the file. I then save it as a draft and then go to another computer and open that draft and download the file. Its the best method and it has worked for at least a decade. Sometimes you have to send it to yourself but the method is perfect
My wife had a friend who said she hates onions. We never changed our recipes and put onions in them. She would always love the food and wonder what was the secret. IT’S THE ONIONS!!!
Exactly. They can move very far on wind currents as well as the fact they are useful plants for people. It would be very easy to carry some seeds or an entire plant with you when you move somewhere new. As well as the fact they are small enough to get caught on pant legs, shoes, clothes etc. to hitch a ride
You think that human developments didn’t occur in the Americas before European came in?
Dandelions are a very human centric plant which makes sense that they traveled with humans as they traveled around the globe. This travel could be accidental or brought on purpose like many other different plants.
If you have a dandelion problem I would recommend you mulch / mow the dead dandelions you pull back into your yard. Dandelions are a dynamic accumulator which means they are very good at pulling up vitamins and minerals from the soil which they incorporate into their roots leaves, etc. This means dandelions will contain those minerals when being mulched and mowed back into your yard. If you are having a dandelion problem it likely mean your yard needs one or more of the minerals that they accumulate. So my mowing it back in you will feed your lawn and reduce their appear in the future
The gist from what I have read (mostly from Native American herbalists) is that there is a oral cultural tradition for using dandelion for both food and medicine in North America. These oral traditions have various uses for the plant that likely predate European settlement. The basic concept is that Europeans never considered that a plant that they had in Europe could appear in North America unless they brought it. It was never considered to be native in both places even though the people who used in North America have a long tradition of use back by an oral tradition. However, since this was an oral tradition no one thought to consider it valid since it wasn’t written down. Since this has been suggested there is some genetic studies that back up that concept.
I found most of this information on the Dandelion section in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask: Anishinaabe Botanical Teachings. They have a good description and I have seen it mentioned now in a few other books.
Dandelions are now basically considered native around most of the globe. There is compelling evidence both ethnobotany and genetic that dandelion are native to both Eurasia and North America.
Typical double click request is as follows:
Manager: Leadership wants a “double click” on the numbers on slide 8.
Doer: What do they want to see.
M: Well they wanted to see more about the numbers on slide 8 they thought it was interesting.
D: What number? Interesting how?
M: They want a double click? Does that work? How long will that take?
D: ummm a week?
Curtains are a god send. Make sure you have them to isolate things coming into and out of your house. So have a curtain to isolate your entry way. That way the heat stays there. Same things at the stairs so you can keep the cool in the baseline while you stay there
Also to note that depending on your house and the outside temp its not worthwhile to open the windows at night. But generally it is better. Make sure you have a fan in the window blowing the hot air out as well. Its best if its upstairs to draw the cool air in.
