"Deep summer is
when laziness finds respectability." Sam Keen
Do you feel less
guilty relaxing in July than you do in January? Elaborate.
Yes, I
do fine July relaxing even if it is the coldest month of the year.
What's a telltale
sign you're upset?
The
look on my face and the tone of my voice
July 16th is
National AI Day. What are your general thoughts and/or experiences with AI?
Have you purposely used it? Does it excite you, scare you, or worry you? What
do you see as a benefit? How about something relating to AI you see as a
negative?
I have
used AI when writing in cards but I prefer to use it as a starting point, I don’t
like how it can take over human jobs.
You're invited to a
summer potluck and are asked to bring an appetizer, salad/side, or dessert.
Which category do you go for and what are you bringing?
Dessert
and it would be a pavlova
It wouldn't be
summer without flies and heat
Insert your own
random thought here.
Remember
more stuff doesn’t come with lasting happiness

Flies are disgusting little creatures, and mosquitoes are their equally annoying, blood-sucking friends. We don’t see too many of them, but they still pop in uninvited now and then (when there is food)
ReplyDeleteYeah they often turn up uninvited to a party
DeleteWell pavlova is one of my favorite desserts so I'd definitely be happy to see one at a potluck. We've had a buggier summer than normal, maybe because we've had a colder winter and then a rainy spring? I don't know, but definitely more bugs this year. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBugs are so annoying
DeleteBring on the pavlova! You would absolutely be my favorite guest at any potluck with a dessert choice like that. Also, your final point about more stuff not buying happiness is such a grounded truth. Have a wonderful, cozy July down there, even if it is currently your coldest month.
ReplyDeleteYeah pavlova is so yummy
DeleteI have never had pavlova but I've heard nothing but good things about it. You can bring it to my next potluck!:)
ReplyDeleteIt is yummy and sweet
