Left front unless I use the big pot or the frying pan. Then right front because it's the BIG BURNER 🔥🔥🔥

I swear I've drawn you. Haha! This is so cool! I drew this art earlier this year as one of the pieces for my Betta Fish Art Collection. This is the Black Orchid, and honestly, the resemblance is uncanny. You do amazing work! Keep it up!

Most of my plants are masochists, apparently. They do better when I hack off bits of them. I'm sure it's an "oh crap I lost a piece now I gotta compensate" but ya know... I prefer to selfishly think of it as a "thank you." LOL

I like them both ways. BUT! A stuffed sweet potato with sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese absolutely CANNOT be beat.

I AM THE FAT, LAZY ELDRICH BEAST COME TO BURN THE WORLD! But only after I empty my kitchen of sweets, cry a little, and try to convince my apparently non-existent friends to do all the work for me.

😉👉👉 Gotcha.

But apparently am so inept that I get frequently described as a "fat lard who can't do anything right and is probably crying in a corner somewhere and has to lean on everyone else to exist."

I can't be both, y'all. The first one DOES sound intriguing, though. 🤔

Well now I know what to call those silicon extenders you can buy at the toy stores. Thank you. 😂

I'm good friends with a few people who have ENORMOUS platforms (1M or more) and I was chatting with one of them recently who said that Parasocial Relationships are her biggest fear because they turn people into monsters. She's really firm on hitting that block button if she sees one on her streams.

I've never understood this mentality. Even with people who've made it their entire platform. Just because you watch someone's stream daily doesn't mean you know them well enough to have the right to break that personal barrier. To me, playful bullying is reserved for people who can be trusted.

Anyway, I just wanted to give this warning to anyone who isn't familiar with the medication. What I'm going through is considered "normal" for Paxil/Paroxetine withdrawal. There's plenty of other medications out there you can take that won't have nearly as bad side-effects.

Ask for something else.

Brain zaps feel exactly how they're titled. It's like someone sends an electric shock down onto the top of your skull and for a split second you lose all motor control. If you don't have good balance or something to catch yourself on? You're going to fall. Period.

I have never been so dizzy and ill in my life. If I sit still and focus on something up close like crochet? I'm fine. But I haven't been able to drive in almost a month, I have heart palps, occasional fever symptoms, and the brain zaps make it impossible to do even simple things like... walk.

Sounds manageable right? Yeah. What they won't tell you is how extreme it can get. They'll just tell you "it's rough." No, fam. You're going to feel like you're dying.

Paxil has an extremely short half-life, which is basically the amount of time it takes to completely leave your body. The shorter the half-life, the more devastating the effects when it comes to SSRIs.

If you've made it this far, keep reading, please. Side-effects of withdrawal are:
