Nature loving, tree hugging, frog kissing, dirt worshipping, modern bohemian - awakening in Maine. I dig: history & science; horror & punk; consideration & kindness.
Yes, I actually had to practice saying “I’m not comfortable with...” and giving someone the brush off. And I’m a hugger!
But the alternative - “instant-macy” as a friend calls it - can be downright scary.

I’ve practiced over the years. Most of the times I say 1) Are you comfortable with hugs (because I’d like to hug you if you’re down with that). But occasionally I have to say 2) I’m not comfortable with hugs (often with a hand or arm stretched out to keep someone at bay).

I miss kitties so much. 53 years of at least 2 cats in my house at all times. Our home is so damn quiet and empty these days. Thank you for this!

I googled DIY tooth pendant about 15 years ago. I found lots of cool images, but no practical instructions at the time. Ya’ll know how to encase teeth in clear lucite, or something like that?

I’ve been saving Boo’s wisdom teeth. He didn’t have them removed until he was 32 - they are huge, with humongous roots. I’ve always wanted to make some king of pendant out of them, but I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Ya’ll have any suggestions?

I can imagine it’s tough. You showered that little guy with such consideration and kindness! He was so fortunate to turn up in your basement. I was really rooting for him, too, and looking forward to his Spring release. Hang in there!

Moved to Portland in 1998. Can confirm - no porn at Skinny shows. And the space looked nothing like it looks now.
