My excitement is maybe small, but I’m excited about the 5-ish hours of sleep I’ve just had, which is such a gift after weeks of pain waking me up all the time
That doesn’t sound small at all! Wishing you more restful sleep in the nights to come. 😊
Thank you so much!
I’ll keep it short term and simple. Wednesday nights I do cocktails and listen to live jazz group from the local school music students from 6pm-7pm, then I walk to my local sushi joint for great fish!
That sounds like a sweet Wednesday
Sorry for delay… just finding your reply. I feel very lucky.
Making music with my fucking band WOOOOOO
Share a Bandcamp/Soundcloud link if you’ve got one!
Shit that’s not a bad idea setting that up thanks dude
Have fun!!! 🤘 :)

I’m going to see spiderman a second time later this week. It’s such a good movie.
It’s adult night at the skating rink tonight and I’m going 🛼

Hopefully with a retirement plan to go with it.
Retirement without any plans often ends in (worse) depression and anxiety.
The company I work for changed their policy on paid vacations. Starting in August I’m going to have a lot of vacation days and I’m going to use them.
My wedding in 11 days. Even though I’m somewhat stressed because I’ll have to travel for it and there are some moving parts, I’m excited. Wife is taking it pretty well and she is excited as well!
Everything will work out perfectly, congratulations!
Thank you <3
Congrats on the wedding, and I wish you a beautiful future!
Thanks!
Hope you have a great day! Wishing you two all the best!
Thanks <3
Congratulations!
The last 10 days leading up to my wedding were my most stressful but come wedding day it was gone all I cared about was being married to my favorite person. You’ve got this and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Yes, of course. I realize it is normal, especially seeing my wife taking it in great stride.
Thank you <3
grats!!
thank you!
Congrats in advance brother/sister! I literally just got back from mine and it went perfectly!
Thank you! and that is awesome! Congrats <3
Make sure to make a conscious choice to stop every once in a while and take the moments in, otherwise you might not remember anything because things are happening so fast on the day
I literally made a comment saying the exact same thing some 10 days ago! i’ll make sure I take a second and take it all in. Thank you!
When I got married I made the decision to avoid going around to all the guests and make sure they were happy/entertained etc. At the reception I basically stayed near the main table and just enjoyed the night. If people wanted to come and chat then they could.
Remembering that it was mine and my wife’s day took a real load off and helped with a lot of the pressure of the event.
Thank you for this. Exactly what I’m planning on doing. I’ll just dance the night away basically.
I can’t recommend it enough. I spent our engagement party running around making sure everyone was having a good time, and didn’t enjoy it at all. Enough was enough. Hope you have a great time!
Thank you!
Did the same thing with my wife! That was 9 years ago today 😋
Happy anniversary!
Something will go wrong, but it won’t matter. Focus on the important things
That is the plan indeed! thanks!
wishing you all the best!
thanks <3
Good luck it’ll be a blast!
Here’s hoping!
I installed a new stereo in my car with my brother. I’m enjoying it. Might need to have a few quirks check though!
Specifically, good things on the World Wide Web: research. The amount of good information available is incredible, compared with pre-Internet times. Weather forecasts, what the space telescope is looking at, what’s happening in other parts of the world places in their own voice.
Sure, there is misinformation as well, and some people will cast doubt on anything they don’t like or try to drown it out, but get past that, and this is a golden age of knowledge.
My mum is coming to visit soon. I live in the USA and she’s back in Australia. It’ll be the first time she’s travelled overseas since the late '80s. She’s very excited about it :)

I’m 45 taking my 73 year old aunt to see it.
Lemmy to become mature enough to be a full replacement for Reddit
I dunno… why can’t Lemmy just be its own thing tho? I might’ve been using Reddit wrong or something but Lemmy feels so much better from the start for me.

At least if there is an interesting topic or a question I don’t have to scroll thru the same jokes or worse — joke trains, yeah sure, the beans happened, maybe I am getting too old to fully connect with the joke, whatever, but at least it is kinda self-contained, my wild guess would be if beans happened on Reddit, all the comments would be BEANS! for a month everywhere…

From a time perspective — I am really appreciating some amazing posts on Reddit with great histories and comments that I was reading for hours, some great AMAs or even the funny content if it was fresh.
With all this said, overall Reddit was mostly a really specific shit hole for me, yes, shit hole where occasional diamonds occurred but still. I can’t wrap my head around how imaginary internet points can distort even the most basic interactions.
I have no idea what the beans thing us, but I’ve been on kbin instead of lemmy for quite some time so maybe I missed it.
Already has
Not really, if you browse the big communities it has enough users but for more niche communities its not
neatlynearly enough to be a replacement for redditI remade the niche communities I browse here.
Yes, only one other person posts on it, and they don’t post exactly what I want, but that’s how it is
👨🚀🔫👨🚀
I’m excited. I really missed Apollo. So this is filling the void bit by bit. :D I just signed up 10 minutes ago. It’s awesome so far!
Welcome!
Thanks. :3 Hey, would you happen to know how to change the avatar on the profile? I looked everywhere in the app. I only see feed UI settings, etc…
There should be a “upload avatar” button
I went hiking on Saturday and I took a fuck ton of pictures, I’m really looking forward to editing the best shots from the trip. The hike was so beautiful it’s probably going to be pretty hard to pick, and honestly that’s the best kind of problem to have.
Also I have a bunch of miniatures that are at the point of needing a final pass of paint before being done, that I’m really excited to finish up.
Where (generally) were you hiking? I live near the Appalachian Trail & I love to get out for a good hike every now and then.
I live in the PNW so I usually hike around Mt St Helens, Mt Adams, and Mt Hood.
This last weekend though I went to a little place called Black Hole Falls
