Pointless Announcements

Ha! I thought at first it was the Close Encounters theme, @Lindy .
That was neat, thanks for posting it.

 

Deadpool actually has a rather sweet love story buried in the third wall breaking wise cracks and killings.
There is a rather conventional moral of communicating with the people you love instead of avoiding sharing your problems and even people who are deeply broken can find someone.
I think that is part of the reason the movie did so well, it's not just a standard super hero movie with dick jokes.
That and it has strong female characters to go with the male ones.
I can understand that it might not be your thing but your could be surprised.

 

So Matthew moved east a few miles and downgraded to cat3, which has spared Orlando from the 75+mph winds and 8+ inches of rain we were originally expecting. Unfortunately the coast is still getting absolutely pummelled by 80-100mph winds and flooding. Thankfully my friends out there who got trapped and couldn't evacuate are alive. So far. It's a slow moving storm that's just broadsiding us all the way up to Jax.

 

Jax Beach is devastated in some areas. Parts of Vilano and Ponte Vedra Beaches washed away. Trees are down all over Jax. The Action News cams are nuts. Half the pier is gone.

 

So, I was browsing YT videos when I came across a vid on how to make a primitive atlatl, (which is a stick with a small hook on the end that attaches to a spear to make it throw further) and after watching the vid, I read some of the comments until I came across this one...

 

I was in Target grocery shopping and I saw some peanut butter like crap that also had goji, Chia seeds, and some other hipster crap. It claimed to be a super food. It also cost 9 dollars for a few ounces. It made me think about the original superfood, and still unmatched, beef. It tastes better than any claimed new superfood (kombucha?!),it has proven results, and has the real protein that the human body needs. So if you want to be super, eat the best to be the best.

 

Go you!
Though I'm old enough to be your mum, we are in very similar spots right now in discovering how to dress our smaller selves. I'm slowly rebuilding my wardrobe as I've sized down and it is pretty exciting. It's a process of discovery with little victories and frustrations, too. Sizing is so confusing! I too, was never below a size 12 before. Depending on if a clothing line does junior sizing or American sizing, my range for tops and jackets now goes from a woman's medium to junior's XL.

 

Sizes are lies. Even in menswear a 30" waist can vary by several inches in either direction depending on the manufacturer and cut, the numbers don't mean anything.

Also my thumb is, thankfully, not in fact broken. Just severely sprained. It was probably the inflatable water slide that did it but the volleyball likely didn't help. Or for that matter doing Flags, although surprising everyone by holding 90deg facing either way was kinda fun.

 

Not really a big fan of performance art, but i'm off to check out this exhibit at the Hirshhorn.

 

Ugh! My arms feel like they've been in an all-day hugging contest with another fat man.
I spent an hour manually deflating pool toys and mattresses. I'm all hugged out.
I wonder if this is what a bagpiper feels like after a hefty practice session, except without the eerie music.

 

While my thumb isn't broken I think relying on my "good" arm may have finally torn my rotator cuff, if it wasn't already. I can't even buckle my seatbelt anymore and popping multiple tylenol or advil doesn't touch the pain, which is impressive considering I recovered from surgery with nothing but 1 tylenol a night.
