No car/public transit was going to be my answer too. Sold my car about 9 years ago and switched to using the bus, carpool, or walking. At first it was a financial decision because I figured it would save me lots of money, and it did. I was surprised though how much more connected to the community I felt. I made friends and talked to people on my commute instead of sitting alone in the car. It also makes me feel more free to move around the city instead of just going from point A to point B and then home again.

Tea all the way. I’m super sensitive to caffeine, so I even have to switch to decaf tea after noon or I’ll be up all night.

Love using herbs from my garden for tea in the evenings - lavender, lemon balm, peppermint, chamomile

Pretty good. We have a pet bed with a built in blanket. Our little dog likes to get in there, dig around a little bit, and then take a nap. Right now he’s under the blanket and only his little nose is sticking out. I think he’s having a good Sunday.

Me too!

Hi fellow no-burper! Everybody else in my family can burp, but maybe I just lost the recessive gene lottery? I totally agree, it’s one of those things that sounds like a small issue but really impacts my life sometimes.

Lol I can throw up, but it’s super rare. Last time was when I had food poisoning about a year ago. I get nauseous sometimes but it usually passes. Just looked up horse colic and that sounds intense! Luckily it doesn’t cause me too much trouble other than bloating. I also stay away from carbonated drinks and straws to reduce the air I swallow.

Burp - I just can’t do it. Also whistle or roll my Rs

Detroit style. The crispy corner pieces!

The Long Dark. Hearing crows in the distance gives me the urge to go check to see if there’s any useful loot.

When I was a kid (like 11 or so) my whole family went from Chicago to Portland and then a week later got back on the train and went back. It took a couple days each way. My mom hates flying and she didn’t want to drive. I remember sleeping a lot on very uncomfortable seats. Met lots of random people. There weren’t many other kids, so I befriended a lot of elderly people.

It was definitely an experience, but I’m kind of glad I was so young. I don’t know if I would want to sit for so long now. If I were to do it as an adult, I’d probably plan to stop a place or two along the way just to break up the trip.

Oh that’s adorable. I might try this one on my dog.

I started watching Schitt’s Creek for the first time. Never really heard of it before and it’s been pretty funny. Like how short the episodes are.

Also a bit of classic (season 7-8) Simpsons.

Somehow “Okay” has become the command to ask my dog to get off my lap so I can stand up. I’m not sure how it started or why.

Breath of The Wild for me. The open world and exploration just blew me away. I wanted to just spend as much time as possible exploring that version of Hyrule.

Second is Majora’s Mask. It was so different than all the Zelda games before it and really dark. I loved the time element and really getting to know all the different npc characters.

Zelda/bullet hell sounds like an unlikely combination! I’ll have to look it up and check it out.

Fallout 4. Been wandering around the wasteland and helping settlements in need.
