House of Cards, I liked the music and I used to live there so liked seeing all the landmarks. Never watched past the first season though.

Wind and Master and Commander for sailing. And maybe some Pirates of the Caribbean too :)
I haven’t watched Maiden yet, definitely this winter sometime.
I had to go look because that was just too interesting of a description. And damn if that’s not exactly it.
This is one of my all time favourite tracks! Thank you so much for posting!
My ex used to fall asleep to this movie. I’ve seen up to the sword fight scene more time than I can count. Still love it.
Awww, yeah. I saw this in the theater on acid. Was amazing.
Dude! One hand for you, one hand for the boat.
My mom and I would rent movies when my dad was on business trips. Go to blockbuster and pick out a movie, make popcorn, cozy blankets. One night my mom got a movie and about 5 minutes in she was like maybe we should turn it off, and I said nah, it’s already playing let’s watch it. So that’s how I ended up watching Pink Flamingos in 3rd grade.
One of my best friends has this framed in her house. She’s had it as long as I’ve known her and that’s going on 25 years. Never expected to see it here!
I use Hover. They’re based in Canada and I’ve been using them for years for my business domain and email. Was an easy choice for personal too. Every time I’ve had to call the tech support they have fixed the problem super fast, did extra stuff, and were super lovely. $20 a year for a small mailbox each, which is more than enough for us.
We have two cars and they are both kinda mine. He bike commutes and way prefers it. I work two hours away though and have always driven more. So generally I take the van if I’m going to be at work for a few days, I’ve got it camperized, or the bmw if it’s a there and back, or other trips like that. Since I’m gone for a few days at a time he still needs a car for some errands, otherwise we’d just have the van. I do all the organizing for service work and cleaning, and general car stuff as well.
On the flip side my husband has held on to the domain he got for 22 YEARS., and never did anything with it. We finally got our emails up and running with it last week. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
So that’s how that test goes from their side, I’ve always wondered. No doubt that could be automated!
Before I moved from DC I did that and wandered around the Mall and went to the Hirshhorn with two friends. Lovely day.
I can’t say that’s there’s one best. The location and people you’re with, the set list, so many factors contribute.
I saw LCD Soundsystem a few months ago in Seattle and it was amazing. Just hands down one of my favourite shows. The venue and energy were crazy, I kept stopping dancing and looking up and around at everyone.
I’ve been a big Phish fan since the 90s so there’s quite a few in that time span, notably Hampton Coliseum (was turned into a box set, Hampton comes alive), MSG last summer, Nashville in 99
When I was a teenager the local radio station ran a festival at RFK stadium in DC for years. The HFS Festival was an insane amount of headline bands packed into a day. Violent Femmes, Blondie, Prodigy, Ramones, Pavement, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Afgan Whigs, Primus, Garbage, Rollins Band, Beck… so so many over the years I went. And it’s back this year!! I’m trying to figure out how to fly back across the continent to go.
There was a small party on the west coast of Vancouver island that ran for ten years back in the aughts. I went to every one minus the first and last and it was my happy place. Wandering through the trees, getting lost in tide pools, so many people you know and love. And the music was top notch. Saw The Orb, Noze, and my friends (which are my fav to see).
It looks great, though a bit heavy on the pepper for me. I make one very similar with cream cheese, avo, salt and pepper, and then a few shakes of Valentina hot sauce. That gives it the bite or acid that people say is missing. Enjoy your snack!
Hey! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, many guests arrived. Awesome playlist! So far every track has been gold. The teenagers love it lol. Many thanks.
Number one, don’t feel guilty about spending time here. You can make it what you want and be a force of good and change or, not. We all need a bit of escape sometimes and I know I am very susceptible to doom scrolling to avoid work/sleep/life in general. But I try to keep my feed as positive as I can while still being informed of what’s going on in the world. That’s a tough line sometimes 🙄. I get not having any hope, it’s just hard, so hard, right now. So much change and uncertainty in the air and no outlet for the stress. Go walk, get outside, exercise is a huge part of adhd management.
I don’t know your situation and how you’ve ruined your life, but I hope you have someone to talk to. Maybe it’s not as bad as your spinning mind is making it? I get into a spiral real easy, so I know how that can go! Have you been diagnosed with adhd? I took a quick look to see if there are any assistance programs for medication, didn’t find anything right away but I’d look into that. Here in BC there is a program that helps pay for it. I was only diagnosed last September in my mid forty’s and medication has saved my life. I have a brain again! Tbh, I almost didn’t make it, my daughter kept me going, I couldn’t bear to never see her again. It has been a long journey to get to this place and now I can see the future again with joy. It’s worth exploring all the avenues to keep in that direction. I unfortunately don’t know the uk health system so can’t offer too much advice. Only that nowadays you have to be your own advocate.
The main thing I want to say is don’t beat yourself up. You’re struggling and most definitely deserve some grace and care, shit is hard right now. One step at a time. Message me if you need a chat or a pep talk! Cheers from the Gulf Islands of BC and have a kick ass day!
Oh wow!! Thank you so much!!
Oh my gosh, same. If I’m trying to concentrate or focus on something there can be no words in music or better yet no music. The only exception to that is a task that is just movement and a playlist with songs I know all the words to. Then I’ll sing while I work. I like classical for the no words, even opera is ok because I don’t know what they are saying. I used to set my alarm in the morning to the French CBC. I don’t speak French so it was just melodic sounds instead of sounding like someone is yelling at me first thing.
I also don’t like watching movies/tv/youtube. I always feel like there’s something else I should be doing. I will watch a movie, but it takes a bit for me to settle and get my brain to realize that that’s what I’m doing. It feels so sedentary. Though I can game for hours haha. I’m doing something! There’s the added bonus that tv is like coffee for me, makes my brain WIRED, then I can’t sleep. Books for the win!
My hearing is quite bad now so that also adds to the feeling of a dull roar of confusion. Yay getting old.
*Edit to say hook me up with the synthwave playlists! Love that sound.
Aka the Lutheran binder.
