Keep making weird art, just like the last three decades.

With you on the toenails, but I just go get a proper pedicure.

George Washington Carter, my personal hero

Probably about forty minutes then baste and tent with foil and put back in for another forty.

Why would I care what temperature it is when I'm sleeping? I'm asleep.

That aside, 60 winter and 73 summer.

three times:

1. rats - tore out two walls and a ceiling looking for their ingress. Found the hole, sealed it, took advantage of the situation to insulate and refinish the room, no problems since.
2. mice - set traps while improving home infra. Raised shelves, removed things acting at mouse ladders, started keeping grains in sealed, hard-sided containers. Went around the outside of the house removing clutter and harboring plants, planted herbs that repel rodents instead. Sprayed essential oils for several weeks as a deterrent, and placed a few permanent traps as check for effectiveness. No mice in the years since.
3. water roaches - boiled or threw out the items they seemed attracted to, used chemical scent obliterators on any adjacent surfaces. Placed pet-safe gel poison behind all the furniture in the kitchen. No problems since.

The joys of a fixer-upper home.

The ongoing pests are flies and birds. This summer I'll be exposing and reinsulating the vent area above the finished attic and replacing the damaged louvers that the birds have nested in. The flies seem to crawl straight through the window sashes, though, no idea how to solve that one.

Brazil nuts aren't nuts! They're fruit seeds. The fruit is the size of a cannonball.

Cutting someone slack doesn't mean letting them go on behaving badly, it means understanding they need help to behave better.

Depends how you do it. But I can tell you three things it does for me:

• Allows me to detach from myself and sort of Alt-F4 a lot of those background processes that are churning up my anxiety and wasting my emotional energy.
• Lets me bank some calm that I can withdraw later in emergencies.
• Helps me practice shutting out distractions to focus on a single stimulus, eg. when someone is talking or when I need to watch something over a period of time.

Make it invite-only.

Nah, I'd go for books and music.

Unfortunately, I really only taught myself how to count, the days of the week, and the months of the year.

Replying opened the spoiler for me, but:

1. English (native)
2. Spanish (school)
3. Esperanto (self-taught)
4. Latin (university)

I can also count to five in German, and I used to know 1-10 in Swahili, but now only remember that "moja means one"

texts that say "when will you be home?"

It's not, though. Shirts have sleeves. Shirts cover the chest, armpits, and shoulders. Tanks are at best athleticwear and at worst underwear.

Finally picked up Cassette Beasts when it went on sale and my kids and I are really enjoying it.

Yes, but usually my time or material goods rather than money.

yes, but: why would I want to?

Astral Aves was both hilarious and mystefying, with a real depth that made it stand out. It's on indefinite hiatus, unfortunately.
