I have two, and they are both very different.

The first is not entirely peaceful or relaxing but it was a moment of pure happiness and respect. We were doing the Swiftsure race and the whole time we had this incredible crew cohesion, like a hive mind. We all knew what we were doing and completely trusted our fellow crew that they did too. The respect I felt from those folks, that I was a valued and knowledgeable member of the team, bouys me when I have moments of imposter syndrome or self doubt. There were peaceful moment during the race, sailing downwind at 3am with the crew all bundled up together, some dozing and some just staring at the multitude of stars in the sky. But it’s the feeling of respect and teamwork that makes it for me. My skipper is the only one I’ll race with anymore, I trust him with my life. We also did pretty damn good with a 3rd place win!

The second is the west coast of Vancouver island. From tofino, Jordan river/renfrew/sombrio, cape scott, anywhere along that coast brings me so much peace. I want to sail around Vancouver Island and spend a month just puttering down the coast.

Thank you for asking such a wonderful question, it’s put me in a great frame of mind ❤️

Edit: And an honourable mention goes to the forests of Appalachia. Western Maryland specifically. The age and gravity of the place makes me feel steeped in the history and lore of the world.

Nice! It’s time to wake up 2023 is one of my fav tracks.

Found a good blog called Hearing Things been a couple of good things off that.

And KEXP!! Radio out of Seattle, has an app too.

KEXP baby!!

I like this a lot, could be a new Sunday trend. Cheers!

Omg yes!!! My husband and I just want to play a long form rpg game together. No shooting, just wandering around together. Man I wish Skyrim had a console coop mode. Sigh.

The best times were hanging out with your friends playing games together. Now if I want to do that I’ve got to have a whole nother setup. Wtf.

It was an option on the POS we had. Just ask at the beginning and it gives you the option to start split. I’m pretty sure you could do it in process too but I just always asked at the beginning. I live in BC.

Green vines/ivy? And it’s my knees

I’m not really a movie watcher, but at the moment I’d say Punch Drunk Love, Onward, Dune, 5th Element, and Tombstone. Oh! People Vs Larry Flynt.

My ex used to fall asleep to this movie. I’ve seen up to the sword fight scene more time than I can count. Still love it.

Awww, yeah. I saw this in the theater on acid. Was amazing.

I use Hover. They’re based in Canada and I’ve been using them for years for my business domain and email. Was an easy choice for personal too. Every time I’ve had to call the tech support they have fixed the problem super fast, did extra stuff, and were super lovely. $20 a year for a small mailbox each, which is more than enough for us.

On the flip side my husband has held on to the domain he got for 22 YEARS., and never did anything with it. We finally got our emails up and running with it last week. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

Before I moved from DC I did that and wandered around the Mall and went to the Hirshhorn with two friends. Lovely day.

The Benne gesserit is my second favourite quote.

When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.

That’s awesome! Thank you!

I had ear surgery yesterday that will hopefully help with my hearing loss and sinus drainage. I’ve been waiting for almost two years for this hoping that my country would start to cover the procedure but finally said fuck it, it’s worth it for my quality of life. Feeling like I have a head cold today, but without the sick feeling. So far I think I can hear better already but not sure if it’s just wishful thinking lol. I’m cautiously optimistic!

This is a great thread, definitely cheered me and a lot of other people up. Thanks!

Man, it warms the cockles of my heart that every time I see Maryland in the news they’re either on the right side of history or just kicking ass in general. I may be a Canadian but I grew up there and it will always be my home state. Congrats girl!

Oh my gosh thank you!! I need this exact thing but hadn’t gotten around to figuring out a solution. Much appreciated!!
