Now I would reject this straight away, except that I like cold brew, fresh orange juice, and Topo Chico. It just tastes like fizzy smoky orange and is lovely.

The ginger I can’t quite imagine but coffee and orange are more compatible than I could have imagined without trying it.

I don’t know about normal, but I have more than 50 years and not jaded yet - the dish soap making bubbles still delights me, the beautiful sky makes me stop and stare, the smell of the night blooming jasmine, the world is just so incredible I don’t know how anybody can really get used to it. Like, the fact that you get to exist at all, with consciousness and a physical body, it’s not something I can take for granted.

Now if you mean am I more busy or distracted now? I think again the answer is no but I didn’t like childhood and have enjoyed being an adult.

I would suggest a dream journal and trying to lucid dream, if your waking self has lost its sense of wonder

That’s an average of over 200k each. I’m wondering how they managed to target people with so much money.

“Like you would make it for your grandma” usually works for me. But not if it’s the whole order, only if I am trying to get one item really spicy.

Once at an Indian buffet, the owner had okra out & I was so happy, love okra but he kept warning me off it - “no, no, it’s spicy” and I was like “Great!” and he would say “no, no, I mean it’s spicy” he really was worried.

Nope. It was not. Like, some perceptible heat, sure. But nothing anyone would consider too spicy. Like medium taco bell packet of hot sauce spicy. I was so disappointed after all the warnings!

This is mine too - I used to record my dreams and kept a journal. Some of them came true, and it was always random piddly details, not things one could see coming ahead of time, never anything useful. Dreams of being in a particular place and situation and seeing a particular someone I’d not seen in years, so specific it seems unlikely to be random. Like I would see what they would be wearing, or other details like that. And no I don’t expect it to convince anyone but me but because I was documenting the dreams I know for myself.

No, I never knew which were dreams of future, and which just dreamy dreams. No lucid dreams has ever been pregognative for me, so no changing them while dreaming either.

At least twice I have dreamed with other people too, once I told my friend in a dream I was pregnant and she called the next day to congratulate me, (this was before social media and I had not told anyone else) and another time I got someone to call by finding them in a dream as I didn’t have their phone number.

But the precog ones pissed me off - I was so mad because I didn’t want to believe the future was already set like that, and they weren’t vague enough that any other answer makes sense.

Go out for coffee to the same place, at around the same time every day. Do not discount the value of superficial relationships, seeing the same people every day will help. It’s a start but a good one, and easy one.

Do you not have a job?

Tall asshole. But what I want to know (as a taller woman) is why do tall guys go for tiny ladies? I am NOT judging, I like guys around my height and they like me, and I’m tallish because of my mom and dad’s height difference. You like what you like. Is it nature trying to breed us back to average height or something?

Alligators and crocodiles can go months without eating. If needed, apparently, even 2 years. I wouldn’t count on a dinosaur being weak with hunger in a few weeks.
