@LnzyHou A little less chaos around here is nice, lol.

Sigh. Not The New Dog now lives on some pretty acreage with a nice older man. I'll miss her.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts @gemswinc One of these days I'm going to see a wild strawberry with white petals on the flowers instead of yellow, and my hands are going right in the dirt, right then and there. That rhizome's coming home with me.

Oh, yeah. We have a road trip planned this summer. It might happen soon. Cool.

The Sims 4 is doing an event this month where you log in every day to get a free item. It's the "Happy at Home" event, so this June I get a happy little ear worm suitable for pride month every time I log in.

@gemswinc I want some real ones. We have tons of mock strawberry, which I like to pick for my budgies, but they're too bland for me.

@AskTheDevil @DoveWithScales It's beautiful how it works like that.

@DoveWithScales @AskTheDevil Naturally. The pursuit of truth lead to establishing experiments, and the spiritual path of alchemy (lead is the base physical matter, gold is the refined human spirit). From alchemy arose chemistry and medicine (through investigating the mind/body/spirit connection and healing the body to refine the soul).

Joe's taking Not The New Dog to a nearby town to see if they want her. Noises are already starting about if they don't how maybe..... Omgs fingers crossed they want her. Though, I don't know, I mean one more dog in a sea of anklebiters....

Bummer. The therapy dog people didn't want Not The New Dog. She was so excited to meet them, she was trembling a little, and they said they need really calm dogs. That's such a shame, she's so loving and cuddly.

@stueytheround Right back atcha :).

@stueytheround I call BS. Surely there's no way on earth to intelligently communicate with someone whose belief system is not your own. After all, they are brainwashed due to being stupid.

Orangutans making a poultice, field medicine style. This is the way Roman soldiers used plantain to stop bleeding in battle, like a bandaid made of crushed plant. An ape, using herbalism, just doing things the way primates do. Please, someone find this guy and show him you don't have to chew it, you can crush it in your fingers, that's so gross.
