I felt this exact way yesterday; up until literally my eyes closed, so this article was dead on. Well said Josh. Bukowski’s book “What matters most is how well you walk through the Fire” really gave me a different perspective on getting through the tougher times that the simple “do better, self” talk couldn’t handle.. Great read if you get a chance.
I meant moreover that the body has trouble digesting it after a young age. But I agree; most the shit we ingest isn’t anywhere close to as natural as milk
See REGIONAL. In Texas I’ve always head it Crawdad boil. Worked at a Cajun bar; that “specialized” in crawfish that was called “Crawdad’s” and the special was….you guessed it! Crawdad Boil.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte; as it is the best love story of ALL TIME. Redwall by Brian Jacques; because it was the first book I ever read. And “Their Eyes were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston as it completely changed my perspective at 16 and opened my eyes to many different cultures.
As a general rule, same here. I always keep it in the back pocket for times that a guest brings a guest with “allergies” or I’m trying to get some brownie points.
All solid pieces of advice. I would also toss in one “special” food for the recipes. Pick something vegan/gluten-free and get good at making it. Had a dinner party with friends couple weeks ago and had to make a vegan friendly gluten free meal for a good buddies date. Went over great and the girl gushed that “no one ever takes time to make something special for them”.
I always dreaded the day that I’d get the call that my first love was getting married. We were inseparable for pretty much all of HS. The whole scha-bang. Long story short we broke up and didn’t really keep in touch. 10 years go by and I get a call in the middle of the night from her Mom. She had passed away from medical complications. I’d give anything to change that phone call to one about her getting married.
Have NEVER been a checked bagged guy. Last flight I had to though (travelling with firearms). Besides the excruciatingly long time it took to get them checked (American Airlines acted as if this was the first time someone flew with a handgun, counter interaction was a story in and of itself) they ended up losing said firearm, from point A to B. Needless to say that losing your shit in an airport over a $2K weapon doesn’t go over well with airport cops or vacation. Moral of the story? 1. Don’t fly to/from anti-gun places. 2. Don’t check your bags with anything of importance; because it is 100% getting “lost”.

This needs to be picked up by Netflix.

Milk just isn’t natural to consume after being weened; that’s my only bash on milk.
Estes is 45 min away from me and that is doing it correctly. Nothing more relaxing than a sweet mountain location, hot tub and drinks.

10/10 agree with Wind, Sand and Stars. Badass book about soul-searching and the meaning of life.
This deeply hurt me. I haven’t been back to TX in a year due to work and now this? Just…. Dammit.
I legitimately plan trips home to see the family over the A-1 Thick n Hearty.
Leave it to CO to have a favorite burger location that isn’t even in this state. #takethatshitbackWest

Definitely top 3 worst experiences of my life. Really made life seem….fragile and fleeting.

Getting drunk on Shiner followed by waking up still drunk clutching a HBCB from Whataburger. God that was the life…..
I second that motion.

Stealing that and making it a quote. Will give credit though.
Any time I hear someone use Vis-à-vis my mind immediately goes to:
Ergo.

Concordantly.
