11. How organised are you with household paperwork (or is everything just in one big pile)?

I'm so unorganized, it's not even funny. Hubby is very organized. One of us had to be. However, he has boxes and boxes of things from his job before retiring. He worked for the same company for 44 years. So, it's 44 years of his job memories. I have to start cleaning out my closet. It's a huge walk-in-closet. I'm going to ask him if we can clean it all out this weekend. I hope he says yes. It's too much to tackle on my own. We’ll see who is organized this weekend.

Happy Birthday. From mxcatmoon.

Ways I Can Be a Better Friend

One word and one word alone. Listen. Don’t give your opinion, listen while he or she vents. Sometimes it’s the best thing you can do. It’s hard to do this, but do it anyhow. They will thank you later.

1. What is something that makes you unique?

I have no idea. This one stumped me. Hopefully it’ll spark some interest for someone else. I was thinking, I’m friendly, but that doesn’t make you unique.

Realization that I can't code

Got my proper new trade post space where I can use more than just one TCG as I did want to play more of them. Was also meat with a horrible realization: I have no idea how to set any of this up.

I got eTCG to work somehow, or at least installed it. Added my collecting cards kida i guess and added my mastered decks. Now how do I work on the actual PHP part of this? Lord knows. I'm waiting for a diff person who's hosting with the same person to help me out a bit (time zones be damned) but on god, I am not managing this well so far, fuee.

I did made a simple page for all the managing of everything, but it idk if I'll need to change it up a bit later on. We'll see how that goes. I also need to figure out how to use the high/mid/low priority stuff and figure out how and where to put a card sorter + text spaces for easy copy paste card names stuff. This is going to be a bit longer than I thought it would be. Idk why I expected it not to be long but whatever. I will figure this out.

”In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad” by several authors

The details about which countries line up where on the individual issues that Pew chose to use in its survey is interesting, but what really strikes me about this article is the list of issues itself.
  • Married ppl having an affair
  • Using marijuana
  • Viewing pornography
  • Gambling
  • Having an abortion
  • Homosexuality
  • Drinking alcohol
  • Getting a divorce
  • Using contraceptives


How did they come up with this silly list and what does it have with morality? At first I thought it was based in monotheistic religions, but there’s only one overlap with the Ten Commandments and I don’t remember anything about most of those in the New Testament either. (I don’t know much about the others.) All of the things in this list are either completely morally acceptable (contraceptives, being gay) or are unacceptable only insofar as they often lead to harming others (alcohol). Whereas murdering, stealing, and telling lies about other people should be in any list of potentially immoral behaviors. Because “does it cause lasting harm to others” is the most important determinant of what’s moral and immoral. At least that’s how it looks from here.

How does the concept of morality fit into your life?

Ways I Can Control My Anger.

I have little control over my anger. I prefer to get it out of me. I'm not a violent person, but I do get angry. I usually use my voice to speak about what has made me angry. And believe me, everyone would hear. But once I let my anger out, I am able to go back to my sweet self in no time. You just never know with me.

How about you?

10. It’s International Wig Day – have you ever worn a wig or a hairpiece?

Nope, I never have. This was sure easy. 😁. How about anyone else?

For the [community profile] marchmetamatterschallenge I'd like to do four meta posts this month and cross-post them to comms and/or Tumblr. This one is about consent in the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry!

In our current internet culture, it seems like there is plenty of purity wank to go around. This is based on the show only as I haven't read the books )

OF COURSE Sex scenes can just be enjoyed for what they are, and shouldn't have to be justified. But I'm really grateful the show did not shy away from depicting sex in this way. It's essential for us to see the entire sex scene to understand Shane and Ilya's points of view in these intimate moments.

The TLDR; is that consent is not always black and white and requires good judgment.

Tumblr got banned in my country (the provided reason: "it's a gambling site" ).

Like what?!?!?!?!?

Who labeled it that? It's not a gambling site!

Connor on SNL

Connor Storrie hosted season 51, episode 13 of SNL! Someone over at [community profile] gamechangerhr posted the playlist of the whole episode. I think he did a great job, plenty of laughs and silliness to go around. They brought out Knight and Keller from the USA women's hockey team during the monologue! I know the US has very little to celebrate right now but at least we got women's hockey and Alysa Liu. Very proud that Knight and Keller got such applause and that the Hughes brothers took the deserved jokes well enough.



The funniest sketch wasn't even in the episode though! Here it is, with a Rozanov mention :D



Very cute how they included Hudson in the ice skating sketch. And the stripper sketch was also hilarious even though morbid and NSFW.

9. As it’s ‘Check Your Batteries Day’, when was the last time you checked your stock of batteries? Or, do you buy them when you need them?

Hubby checks all of ours every three months. We stock our batteries every ten months. We don't want to find out something doesn't work the hard way.

When and where was the most memorable sunrise or sunset you have ever seen?


My favorite sunsets are here in Tucson. They are absolutely breathtaking. Hubby and I watch them as often as we can. I'm never up in time for sunrise. 😂 We also saw some gorgeous ones on different cruises we went on. Sunsets are so gorgeous. I'm grateful for all of them.

Things I'm Disappointed About

Sometimes I find a new recipe to try and it flops. At first I'm angry that I used money to make something that was so awful. After about ten minutes, I then blame myself for choosing something so gross.

I get disappointed in people that show no compassion for anyone who has to use hearing aids. They lose their temper because they don't want to repeat themselves. I've even seen them yell at the person who has no control over their hearing.

But, the biggest disappointment in people who don't have empathy for the person with dementia, or worse. They have no control over what is happening to them And their family. They need all the Love and caring they can get. Please be thoughtful. A lot of people are.
