For all your owl related needs!
Very nice! I’m into whatever info you have to share! Always down to learn more about other cultures.
If you ever assemble anything to read, I’d love to hear about some of what you’ve learned about owls or the Nahuatl in general. You’ve had to have put in a lot of hard work and I’m sure you’ve connected a ton of great random bits of history and culture.
I wasn’t going to say anything here, because I’ve been trying to self promote less now that we’re a big enough group, but that so many upvoted this without any kind of promoting felt really nice.
Especially from someone like you who has stuck around a long time now without even being super interested in the subject matter tells me I’m doing something right.
I have a hard time thinking I ever accomplish much of anything important, but a number of you have said some really nice things the last week or so and it’s meant a lot to me. I try my best to show that appreciation back, and I hope I do that.
And I’ll always argue that even though I provide most of the posts, it wouldn’t be a fun place without all of you that do come and comment or just keep the place active and a generally good place to be. It encourages me to keep giving it my best efforts even if I’m not typically a super social person. You’re a really great group and I feel fortunate you share your time with me.
PS. Chicuahtli forever!
The picture I took from the overlook this spring at Fallingwater.
I went on a whim, as I like architecture, but I’m not super into it, but this house was amazing.
We just lost my fiance’s mom 2 weeks ago. They’re a very close, very big family and their mom was a true matriarch. She also didn’t leave any plans for any of the complex situations she’s left behind, so her and her sisters have been stuck in all this legal and business drama instead of being able to grieve, and they just lost their dad at the end of last year.
We just got engaged this summer and she was already heartbroken her dad wouldn’t be there, and now she suddenly has no parents when she would talk to them every day. I’m not a big people person, but both her parents were really good to her and they all loved each other very much, and I feel really crushed this holiday season, so I can’t begin to feel what they all must be feeling.
You have my sympathy. It stinks. I liked her parents more than most of my own family, and I’m sad I won’t have anyone but my brother anymore to have good family time with.
I’m sure you had a really great mom, and I hope you get a proper chance to find the closure you need eventually and get to remember all the positive things again. I hope this was helpful, I feel I’m not great expressing emotional things, as I’m not used to feeling that close to many people, so please take this as my deepest sympathy and caring.
Beat me to it! I was going to say at least a couple basic meals that you really enjoy. It can be fancy, or it can be some dorm quality things that fill you with nostalgia, as long as prepping it and eating it makes you happy.
We need to eat, and we need to feel satisfaction from something we have done ourselves, so do both at once.
