I keep scribbling my Sharpie S Gel in a futile effort to make it work. I'm honestly in shock. This is truly a sign that they are the best pens in the world - a rare find for a leftie!

Feels wrong throwing it away...

Mmmmmmm yeeaah I might have to actually cook breakfast tomorrow now

Had to look up herbes de provence.... I'm not much of a cook so that *sounds* like it would be a simple dish but it's probably one of those more-than-meets-the-eye things that I'm betting she perfected!

American here, feeling down, and I'm equally embarrassed and absolutely delighted at the accuracy of this 😬😆

Do you deliver? Maybe I'll just come to you 🍴

But yeah I suppose, like you said, if that particular tradition is where the comfort comes from, it would be just as... fulfilling? Is that the word I want? I guess that works haha

Thanks so much! That makes sense.
I guess I'm seeing my own bias - I've only been to pretty hands-off traditional Catholic funerals and occasional burials that seemed so distant. Then I see natural where everyone is participating and it looks so comforting!

What is this hypnotic ball of light that I'm going to stare at for the next 20 minutes???

This is the cutest 🤩
And once again I'm lamenting the fact that I'm on the opposite side of the state from you and the cool stuff you do

My stomach went from clenched to laughing in 0.85 seconds
These parents are THE BEST. The girl's issue was pretty serious and they talked about it without shame or fear, as if they were at their PCP for a sore throat and "lately you've been coughing." And then the joke! I wanted to hug them all 🖤

Slow but working for me. I'm in PA, USA, using Google Chrome on my phone. Hopefully the issue gets fixed!

Could "meet" work? Coming together but not fully touching?
I don't know if that applies but it *feels* right 😆
Particle physics and I.... Well, we don't touch. Or meet. I try but I can never fully grasp the intricacies so I am probably way off!

Ugh that's got to be so so difficult in an already (I'm assuming) emotionally draining profession. Good luck with all of that!! Hopefully it changes soon.

Thanks! I'm totally keeping you in mind if I need to pester someone for info or varied perspective later on 😁 if you're up for it, that is

I love seeing the shift from that pushy pricey aspect toward people just not having it. Sucks people then associate the entire profession with the old ways!
This is why I'm writing my book - show what's available, how it works, and it's not all evil 😆 I'm an outsider, I love hearing your experience!
