While it would be great if a man was looking very much forward to spending time with me or even missed me a lot when we were apart…..

It should not be like this
Never this
This man is certifiably DERANGED

I am begging everyone on here to read this new post by Bryan Johnson — the super rich tech guy who is now doing the “never die” protocol.

I need to talk about it with you all.
Bryan Johnson • 0... @bryan_johnson It's been 19 days and 20 hrs since | last felt Kate's warm embrace. She landed 47 minutes ago. The 24 hours of travel no doubt has her rushing to shower. She needs to cleanse herself of a dirtied world incompatible with her sensibilities. The wash doubles as a ritual, preparatory for entrance into the symbolic world we've constructed. The time apart has been costly. My body's electrical signaling betrays the separation. Without her touch, my vagus nerve's 100,000 myelinated fibers have dropped their high frequency spectral power, squawking distress. An intelligent system broadcasting diminished wave forms, hoping to be heard. There are other signals of distress. My white blood cells have shifted their gene expression, upregulating pro-inflammatory genes IL-6 and TNF-alpha and downregulating my antiviral genes. A pro-aging biochemical signature of a system suffering hardship. My environment is a pristine anti-aging laboratory. Air, water, food and light are meticulously measured. Toxins are filtered. Purification systems run autonomously. Biomarkers tracked. Nutrition is calibrated. Yet outside my control is the affection of another. The 68 trillion cells that constitute Bryan Johnson run non-negotiable code. They demand tenderness, and not of a whimsical type, but deep, all-encompassing love that must be earned and carefully maintained. Otherwise they protest in self-termination. She's now only 13 miles away and I can viscerally feel her essence. The transmission pulses in high fidelity. As if there were a fiber optic cable streaming our connection at light speed through the multiplexed cylinders of glass. The time apart created latency, buffering the connection, depriving us of the luminescence and dimming into noise. In 15 minutes she will be within reach. I can visualize the whites of her eyes and smell her aroma. When she arrives, she will be shy. Whenever we are apart, she returns to zero. Her previous openness will be closed. Her emotional dynamic range will be held in reserve until she feels she is safe and can trust. I'll need to kindle her again. The rush of the courtship enthralls me. The anticipation drives a small cluster of my midbrain neurons to flood dopamine. Nerve fibers activate, lighting up my skin's receptors as it awaits for slow, caressing touch. My hypothalamus begins synthesizing oxytocin, preparing to dump it upon first eye contact to ensure the reestablishment of our pair bond. This biochemical orchestra fills me with delight and sensorial want. Kate's been mulling over what she'll wear for days. She's considered dozens of possibilities and modeled out my anticipated emotional state, the weather, and our planned activities. The colors will be representative of her psychological state and be positioned to soothe mine. The texture, style, and hues will interplay with our biology. The deliberately chosen accessories will add flair, intrigue and play. This is how she flirts, seduces and bypasses my mind to speak directly to my physiology. She has other tricks too. She's arrived. I must wait for her. Her timidness will want to determine the cadence. I hear the door crack open and her bag drop to the floor. She's nervous. I'm on the couch, neutral and open. She rounds the corner and our eyes meet. The inhibitions wither as the magnetism draws us together. Soft hellos are whispered and our bodies interdigitate. I feel her finger tips on the back of my neck. Goose bumps light up my body. Skin nerve cells fire signals directly to my brain, bypassing the analytical mind. The hypothalamus dumps the oxytocin, inhibiting fear and lowering cortisol. The body washes itself in this anti-inflammatory chain reaction. Our respiration and heart beats are now synchronizing. T… I press my cheek against hers. The skin on skin triggers a wave of desire. I brush her lips with mine, catalyzing a massive activation of neurons in her brain, overwhelming thought and forcing presence. She relents and wants to dance. She's home. I slip my hand under her shirt and brush the small of her back. Goosebumps spread like a wildfire across her body. Her hypothalamus stimulates the release of GnRH which tells the pituitary gland to wake up her reproductive system. Our olfactory systems consume each other with delight, signaling immune system compatibility. I move both my hands to her jawline, holding her head firmly in place. Our mirror neurons speak to each other. I know what she wants. My lips press against hers and I softly bite her lower lip. Kate's blood vessels dilate from the acetylcholine and nitric oxide release, flushing her lips, skin and body. The cascade is nearing waterfall. The executive control of our brains surrenders. No longer concerned with the 68 trillion cells. The prefrontal cortex goes dark. Eliminating future planning and probabilistic modeling. Activity in our parietal lobes diminishes, dissolving the boundary that distinguishes between self and other. No longer is there Kate and Bryan, just a singular biological entity suspended in a state of bliss. The outside world goes quiet. It doesn't exist. We dissolve into raw existence.

Now that I'm home from my trip I'd like to talk about a conversation some of you may need to have if you have an older Boomer/Silent Gen parent who is also an extrovert.
My Mom talks to everyone.

Yesterday at the airport we were waiting in an Uber line next to an older couple for ~8 minutes -->

One of the things I found interesting was a conversation I had with my sister complaining about how my car insurance is insane because I have violations on my license that will take years to get rid of.
I said "when I got a ticket in Ohio they never even gave me traffic school options"

These dudes dating app book recommendations sound 👎🏻
roxy demento @falseroxy • 12h when i was on the apps i had 'recommend a book to me' in my profile and every single man recommended some "non-fiction" grindset mindset bullshit or some kind of pseudoscience like "sapiens." i don't think they have a leg to stand on here. Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit • 22h Imagine caring that random women are reading 100 romance novels in a year. So they read smutty stuff, who cares??? You guys make a fuss over this shit every year now. Find something else to get bent out...

Louise Jensen Duffy (writing as. @LouiseWeebe So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement. 12:22 PM • 12/27/25

We decided to bake so we were going through old recipes and my sister has the original cards
We used to make these “Lollipop cookies” with chocolate in the middle and we found this recipe card with my Moms drawing and cracked up at it
Drop 6 tsp of dough far apart on sheet (greased) Lightly flatten with your fingers. Place lollipop stick on each, add 2 squares Hershey’s choc. Top with another Tsp. dough + seal. Bake 8-10 min. at 375° until golden. (May use choc. mint wafer) For extra appeal, add eyes, nose, mouth to make faces for Christmas sprinkle red or green sugar + tie in saran wrap with red + green ribbon.

My sister told a story tonight about a camping trip they went on in Washington.
When they woke up the raccoons had eaten a watermelon and blueberries and poked a hole in the side of beer cans and drank some beers
It was a raccoon 🦝 party!! 🎉
