When your mother is a botanist, she brings in the apple harvest?

I live in San Antonio.
The snake was tiny.
Smaller circumference than a pencil.
About 6 inches long.
Bottom was orange.
Top was a grayish brown color.
Looks like photos of red bellied snakes.
Google says those don't live here?!

Hmm...many people are selfish.
They know that someone has a crush on them and use it to their advantage.
I see that often.
He may be the exception.
I had a friend that looked like a model.
He would play women to get free stuff from them.
He had no feelings other than greed.

if they do not reciprocate feelings, things usually end and for many that is for the best.
No pining away for someone that doesn't care about you.
No trying to get them to notice you and feel the same way.
Moving on to people that are available.
That don't play games.

If I don't care, I can be bold.
If I am invested in you, I tend to not be so blunt.
It is insulting for him to say that to you.
Being able to tell someone they are being cruel, is powerful
It typically means never seeing them again.
That can be the right choice.
They are not friendly.

that man wants to be the boss.
He wants control over major decisions.
He does not want to share power and decision making.
He does not want a woman that does not need him.
That can walk away and retain her quality of life.

What do you think would have happened if you did announce, you were sitting next to him and available?
Would he have laughed?
Left?
Stopped being friends?

I had a man tell me he expected to meet someone like Angelina Jolie.
I said, I am not like her.
We went ahead and met for dinner.
I laughed because he was the one all about physical beauty.
He was not attractive. Used photos at least 15 years old and lied about his age. I am pretty

Lima Beans are evil!
I never take my eye off of them.
No way are they sneaking into my cart.
They are banned from my house!
Look at them playing hide and seek with an elderly man!
He doesn't deserve being tricked!

i’m two seconds away from crying in front of the frozen vegetables because i can’t find what I’m looking for when suddenly…

an elderly man:
WHERE ARE THE LIMA BEANS???

DO YOU SEE LIMA BEANS???

AM I LIVING IN A NIGHTMARE???

going get overstimulated at the grocery store brb

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 9h

One of the grocery stores near me has singles nights on Saturdays. They had games and prizes and it was both weird and fun. They had us bowling with produce and wine samples and I went home laughing and the proud winner of a jiffy cake mix. I never went back.
Seems that it never really caught on?

There is a tiny snake on my patio.
I don't know where it went or what it is.
I am hoping it is nonvenomous and does not harm me or the dogs.
I would rather be the 3rd wheel than the adult in charge.
I don't want the responsibility of snakes?!

Mistakes or is there some loophole that if you are let go and rehired, your start date is the rehire date and you lose seniority and benefits that are obtained over time?
I have worked places that do that.
They are treated as new hires.
Lose vacation and sick days.

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 9h

Why are you putting up with that nonsense?
There are many single mothers that are not abusive.
Find one.
Send this Abusive GF packing.
Things will get worse.
Do not let that happen.
I question what goes on when Dad is not at home and GF is alone with his child?
GF is dangerous to your household.

Break up with the GF!
Your child has the right to talk to her mother.
The GF has no business, isolating your child and making trouble with her mother and blaming it on the child.
GF is abusive.
She is harming your daughter.
I don't care if GF gives you the best sex ever, she is not worth the drama.

I still don't know what type of snake is in my yard?!
Might be full grown?
Some snakes stay 6 inches long?!
It looked like a red bellied snake with an orange belly.
Google reports red bellied don't live in San Antonio?!
Maybe a flat headed snake?
I am hoping that it is safe for my dogs and me!

My dog stood up and a tiny snake glided from under him!
I have no idea what type of snake.
It was a baby.
grayish brown on top with an orange belly, less than a pencil in diameter and about 6 inches long.

It slithered away.
I am hoping it is non venomous?!

Ironic that thinking about my case makes my breathing worse yet, my attorney does not seem to know I have bad lungs?

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 11h

Yet, my attorney and the opposition do not seem to think that my impaired lung function is my most disabling disability because I can die?!
I can't work when I can't breathe.
At baseline, my lungs are damaged and my breathing is abnormal.
I have multiple breathing issues.

Grateful for having a full bottle of antianxiety antihistamines.
With luck they will also give my regular allergy meds a boost and help me.
I do not need to flare my asthma.
My breathing is greatly impaired when I am overly emotional.
My meds don't help and I stop breathing.

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 12h

I am stressed out about my workers comp case.
I have not needed antianxiety meds in 5 years.
I am glad, I stashed some away. Strange how an antihistamine can calm me instantly?

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 12h

I have noted that women gynecologists are gentler when they exam me than men. Male gynecologists I have seen, seemed angry. My first pelvic exam could have been much better than it was. I am grateful when I can see a female doctor.
I have less fear and less pain from exams.

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 1d

How long before someone reports that she has 3 arms and you are being ableist?

Lily Crue @lilycrue.bsky.social · 1d

I can't imagine going to see a family doctor and they tell me I need to have my hymen broken! Using words and terms, I would not understand and likely made up on the spot.
That sounds painful, humiliating, and nightmare material.
I suspect that was during their first pelvic exam?
Evil man!

You are welcome.
I don't like thinning plants.
It feels wrong to kill plants.
I understand the need for thinning.
I just don't enjoy it.
I try my best to control where I put seeds to avoid having to thin.
Yes, I have cried while thinning.
It makes me sad.
