Tetra, what WONDERFUL POSTS. It is truly a pleasure to hear from you. I joined SR in Sep or Oct 2015, and your voice is one of the earliest I recall. I agree...you have sure come a long way, and it is fun to revisit that distance through your current posts.

"He agreed and said "people who would intentionally set out to harm another person are few and far between". Whether that is true I don't know but I wish I hadn't locked myself away..."
I think your dad is right, and Yes, we are lucky for the few and far between. Many of us would have met earlier and grislier fates otherwise, by now!

BC....my sinceeeeeeere sympathy on the anxiety, from a fellow sufferer.

Sao... Please never stop posting pics. They mean a lot to people who don't get out much! Same goes to the rest of you who are talented with a camera. (TETRA???)

Tried claritin, zyrtec, xyzal and allegra this year. Meh, meh, meh and meh.

Been dipping in to my Japanese box of fun here.. the first thing I tried I believe was supposed to be a soy sauce flavored.. gelatinous sort of.. I don't even know what to call it.. it was horrendous.. This is trippy trying these things because I have no warning what I'm gonna taste, it's all in Japanese. These little strawberry filled soft doughy things were yummy. One of the few duplicates in the box, they're gone. A cola gummy, like those Haribo cola bottles, but bigger, softer and sugar coated. Want more. Some juicy lemon gummies, that was actually in English on the package, those were good. And something that resembled a churro, but it was a potato stick. It had a consistency of a cheese curl.. there are three different flavors, this one was like a mesquite bbq, and not bad, but again, there's a wtf moment when you have no idea what you're gonna taste.

You guys should try one of these boxes. It's keeping me occupied at least lol

Thank you Bix. I did not have enough time to do Cambridge justice. I wanted a pic of the Bridge of Sighs but it is not accessible during term time - you have to book in advance or hire a punt. This is it, pic from the internet.

It's hot.. Do I want to go to the gym, just to be around people, even though I'll have my headphones in watching Nightly News and Jeopardy?

Weird little headache came on after I ate another giant cheeto-like thing (also bbq but a different bbq flavor. I think.) and it occurs to me, I don't know what I'm eating. I mean I don't know what the ingredients are since it's all in Japanese. It could literally be anything. It might be msg and crushed up grasshoppers and toenails. I don't know.

It's what you do in the spring to burn off all the pumpkin pie and pumpkin lattes you ate in the fall.


Just ate a weird tubular shaped pink jelly, indecipherable flavor.

And something called soda chewing candy, which has a really confusing texture, like am I supposed to chew this like gum or eat it.. I ate it.

I need to stop.

When it's hot I like to swim laps for excercise in the local public pool. I went tonight after work. It's fun. It's so darn hot that I have to walk my dogs really early-
