Should be a word for that
A word for the feeling of still believe that people can return in another form but society is not ready to talk about it so gonna be quiet in the meantime and just wait and see how things go.
What...is your purpose
Been up really late (someone tell my body it's not the middle of the day already) and had to harangue a beloved just a bit about the gender dynamics of his late night entertainment..just had to..it's life in a human body on planet Earth! LIFE IS SHORT.
And then dipped into a T. talk and now I gotta go to bed.
"13:00
Now, it's easier said than done, because I'm saying it now, but I'm telling you it's not easy in male culture for guys to challenge each other, which is one of the reasons why part of the paradigm shift that has to happen is not just understanding these issues as men's issues, but they're also leadership issues for men. Because ultimately, the responsibility for taking a stand on these issues should not fall on the shoulders of little boys or teenage boys in high school or college men. It should be on adult men with power. Adult men with power are the ones we need to be holding accountable for being leaders on these issues, because when somebody speaks up in a peer culture and challenges and interrupts, he or she is being a leader, really. But on a big scale, we need more adult men with power to start prioritizing these issues, and we haven't seen that yet, have we?
13:49
Now, I was at a dinner a number of years ago, and I work extensively with the US military, all the services. And I was at this dinner and this woman said to me -- I think she thought she was a little clever -- she said, "So how long have you been doing sensitivity training with the Marines?"
14:06
And I said, 'With all due respect, I don't do sensitivity training with the Marines. I run a leadership program in the Marine Corps.'"

Wouldn't that be weird?
What if you were not a guy and had a dream that you met someone and you were all full of feminine youth and optimism and you told that someone all of the fine qualities you saw in him and in his soul, such as a capacity for compassion...a whole list of things. And then the man was somehow given this list. And he handed it back to you. For some reason he did not check "compassion" on his list. He did however check "marriage." As if to say, Well I am not interested in compassion. I am interested in marriage. Weird. What was that about? Dream ended before there was any chance of incorporating 15th century shenanigans...marriage minus compassion what is wrong with you???

This is a silly old song.
It was on the radio and made me wish an old friend was there (because she loved to make fun of it.)
"Maggie..."
https://genius.com/Rod-stewart-maggie-may-lyrics
I had an idle thought that someone with her sense of humor would be nice to have around if I ever needed to visit a hospital...in fact, when I was younger and bleeding profusely (almost needing a blood tranfusion, sick and anemic for weeks afterwards) she did come to the hospital with me.
So glad I wasn't alone then.
Over the weekend I learned that some attentive people have come up with names for some things.
PMDD
PME
The gift of the internet is it will eventually deliver something helpful to you.
Knowledge is everything.
Maybe I can care for myself and make some changes that help me be a happier and healthier person.
Maybe for some of us, the depression, physical pain, PMDD. etc. would get better if society made significant changes and started respecting diverse experiences of many different people.
Wouldn't it have been nice to have learned about a lot of these things decades ago?
Just imagine what people could know more about in ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred years...
What else is there to learn about?

FASCINATING dairy details
HUH!
"A1 casein is present in the milk from Holstein cows, which are the predominant dairy herds in USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. A different type of casein – called A2 casein – does not form casomorphin BCM7, and does not cause inflammation. The milks of Jersey cows, goats and sheep, are predominantly A2, and are fine for most people. Cheeses like Ricotta are ok, because they are mostly whey protein. Butter is Ok because it is mostly fat.
I switch many (not all) of my PCOS patients to Jersey, goat or sheep dairy, and they do very well. The first thing to improve is their acne, usually within a few weeks.
Other PCOS symptoms also improve off A1 dairy, but they take a little longer, usually 3-4 months. In fact, any good treatment for PCOS takes 3-4 months because that is how long it takes for a follicle to develop all the way to ovulation. It’s a 100 day journey to ovulation, and the journey cannot start until inflammation ends." ~ Dr. L. Briden

I am sorry they haven't been more understanding.
After years of navigating her recurring physical and emotional symptoms, Coffey said she learned to prioritize self-care and developed a greater sense of compassion for herself and her pain. Though it’s still a struggle every month, she makes an effort to be kind to her body, which gets her through the toughest days. “PMDD is not a death sentence,” Coffey said. “It’s just another way you have to live life a little bit carefully.”

Q: Did you enjoy researching histamine-causing foods?
A: No. I am exhausted and want to cry. Cherries are okay on this website! Cherries are not okay on that website!
Q: Would it be better to just lean towards anti-flammatory and antihistamine foods, rather than eliminate all foods with histamines?
A: Yeah, probably. I am going to get the ginger tea and warm up the rice pack in the microwave.

If I were more motivated, I would be experiencing life differently tonight! It's not every Friday I get to enjoy the privilege of staying in and feeling lonely on purpose. This is not a joke; it's a strange pleasure. It's just enough to feel a pang but not enough to start dialoguing with yourself about mental illness and ways to preserve your sanity...phenomenal! Like quaffing a fine wine. Just the subtlest, noblest hint of angst...not too much...magnificent! MAYBE I WILL PERUSE MY IBOTTA APP FOR DEALS.
I don't need a babysitter...but I wonder if I should've bought a Cuisinart...
"You know you don't have to be lonely to be alone."
No, but isn't just a hint of loneliness interesting?

The baby seal
The woman with a net (also one in the background with a metal barrier)
And the witnesses (after the capture, they brought down a large animal carrier)
The seal should be at a facility for rehabilitating sea life. The lifeguards told me this. Tears were flowing...Hope the seal is feeling better now...the facility was not far...

Olive grove anedcote
There were fires everywhere in the mountains and an olive grove was spared. Even though it was spared, it was unhappy in the aftermath. Smoke got into the trees, into the underground river. They were unhealthy for a while but they recovered. They are better now. That's what I want to happen with other tragedies, too.

"As early as Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security is expected to issue a sweeping new set of regulations for detaining migrant children, replacing more than two decades of protections that were put into place as a result of what happened to Alma and her fellow detainees in 1985. The new standards could allow the government to detain children and families for longer periods, revise the minimum standards of care and end the 22-year-old consent decree, known as the Flores agreement, that has protected the nation’s youngest and most vulnerable new arrivals."

Women & water
Does this ring true?

But women of high social status shared 'altruistically' when water was abundant and equally when water was scarce."

A Forest, MS story
"An undocumented Guatemalan woman, Maura, didn’t go to work—and didn’t get arrested—because her 16-year-old son was sick with a stomachache. She stayed to care for him and later took him to the hospital, where the doctors told her they had to remove his appendix. Right around then, she remembered, her little brother called and told her he had been picked up by ICE. Her son spent the next two days in the hospital recovering from his appendectomy, which, she explained apologetically, was why she had waited until Sunday to try to locate and help her brother, whom she has not heard from since that Wednesday.
Maura hesitated even to contemplate the alternate reality where she went to work on Aug. 7. 'If they’d detained me that day, I don’t know what would have happened with my son, dying at home, him not knowing about me, me not knowing about him.'"

"Mena said many of the Guatemalan immigrants in his congregation come to the U.S. because of a lack of jobs in their home country. A prolonged drought has devastated the farming industry there. More recent immigrants are also fleeing violence and extortion from narcotics traffickers, he said.
To come to a land of opportunity, the man had to leave his family behind and journey across an expanse of desert.
Later, he met his wife in the U.S. They lived near each other and began talking. They had a lot in common because she faced similar hardships in her immigration from Mexico.
He said he loves that during challenging times, she's calm. She's the type of person who gets things done and helps him remain calm as well, he said.
Now, she's behind bars."

Kinda interesting history, actually
"There was only one time Shania decided to speak up to her mother, begging her to take her and her siblings away from their step father."
www.noteabley.com/culture/shania-twain-fb/
"She said, 'My deepest passion was music and it helped. There were moments when I thought, ‘I hate this.’ I hated going into bars and being with drunks. But I loved the music and so I survived.'”
"When her parents passed away, her two younger brothers were still quite young, only 13 and 14, and couldn’t be left on their own. Shania once again stepped up to the plate and became their primary caretaker."
AND IT ONLY GETS MORE INTERESTING FROM THERE.,

He said, "Don't you have PCOS? That's different."
I said, "It doesn't matter..."

If I ever have to meet another self-absorbed, untrustworthy man who has to so desperately fit in with people who are insensitive, abusive assholes that he becomes one himself, I will say sorry to see how you turned out. Because now you remind me of boys who e-mailed me rape jokes and wanted me to be a good sport about it...like sitting by two high school boys in class: If you were in a war would you rape a woman? Hell yeah! That was a joke to them. These are vibes like you and your friends still cultivate. Plenty of women were around to indulge them. Stay away from me and stay out of my life.

Truly there is no way to win
"This kid is well dressed, with pizza & a soft drink. There are tens of millions of kids in places like Mumbai who have none of this. It was to put her chances ahead of theirs that her parents broke the law. So I feel sorry for what this kid’s parents did to her"

What is it about nature
We were on the same path. He was going further into the woods and we were leaving.
"Howdy!" he said in a friendly way as he passed us. He was rather big and tall and he seemed Native American to me.
I am really interested in people who love nature for all sorts of reasons.

"Mr. Aldaoud’s experience illustrates the dire consequences that noncitizens living in the United States may face if they are deported to countries they have not seen in decades, or ever. Mr. Aldaoud was officially an Iraqi, but he was born in a refugee camp in Greece and entered the United States legally in 1979 at the age of six months."

Gynecologist Dr. Puneet Bedi:
"...the day she was born, she was told she's **** because she's a woman and then she gets pregnant in a new home where seven other people are telling her everyday they're poor, you know, you will lose everything that you have in life if you produce a girl, how do you think can you change that mindset? By showing some streetplay? Or, you know, writing a poem? Or inventing a television spot? No! It doesn't work. Now the ultimate solution is of course that people start respecting girls more than boys"

Honey
This is a good one.
"Bee keeping in California begins in. October/November/December..."
"The honey flow is NOT year round as many think – the honey ONLY flows IF there has been rain. One may see an abundance of flowers everywhere and think HONEY but without water there is none. RAIN = NECTAR = HONEY. It is that simple. No nectar NO HONEY."

Smelling biscuits baking
backisbettersoperhapsshouldbeswimmingbutI'mnot!
I'm baking biscuits with tapioca so they can hold the jams the nuns made.
Watched 13 seconds of this clip (On the Waterfront: "I Coulda Been A Contender") then checked to see if that background music is used in The Californians (kind of? around 3:25 in Stuart has Cancer?) and then commenced watching the first clip...good grief. It's about WEIGHT???? WTF.

I was thinking about some people
Ah...the nuns...they do some things...the internal work. Living a certain type of life in a certain type of female body with lots of symptoms and hardly any steady path to follow from conventional medicine will drive you towards internal work. Do this or die. It feels like that sometimes.
There are people who have become masters at manifesting external stuff in this life. For some reason I sat next to one on a plane that was malfunctioning. It had to land and it did. And there was still chaos with communication. The whole experience was far more scary for me than it was for him and there probably are reasons for that.

"Raj Chetty got his biggest break before his life began. His mother, Anbu, grew up in Tamil Nadu, a tropical state at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent. Anbu showed the greatest academic potential of her five siblings, but her future was constrained by custom. Although Anbu’s father encouraged her scholarly inclinations, there were no colleges in the area, and sending his daughter away for an education would have been unseemly.
But as Anbu approached the end of high school, a minor miracle redirected her life. A local tycoon, himself the father of a bright daughter, decided to open a women’s college, housed in his elegant residence. Anbu was admitted to the inaugural class of 30 young women, learning English in the spacious courtyard under a thatched roof and traveling in the early mornings by bus to a nearby college to run chemistry experiments or dissect frogs’ hearts before the men arrived. Anbu excelled, and so began a rapid upward trajectory."
