I started to neglect my garden since I was pregnant as I was really not feeling well during my first trimester. It's been really hot here as well, so almost all the plants died. I feel sorry for them, but I really didn't have...

Lynn Proctor I recently learned that sweet potato leaves are delicious, and are eaten by many Asian cultures. You cook them like any green, leaves and stems, washed well. You can also stir fry them in olive oil with garlic until soft. They can be used like spinach, and can...

This morning I have dug the garden beds to loosen the soil and early in the afternoon I have added...

Lynn Proctor I have been experimenting this year with two things: deep mulch and sweet potatoes. I learned that sweet potato vines are delicious to eat (leaves, stems) and are like spinach. I have now a few starting to vine in the yard, starting them from organic sweet...

When you grow up with something, it's easy to take things for granted. For example, when I was a little boy, I lived within walking distance of the ocean, with a nice beach, plenty of sand to build sand castles, and waves to...

Lynn Proctor I grew up in San Diego, and never saw the mountains except from a distance. When I was 12, a friend invited me to go to the mountains with them for the day. I did, and it was magical. I don't remember too much about it now, but it was the first time I ever saw...

A strange thing a strange feeling came over me. I am online and suddenly I had this feeling of being detached. Not from my body or anything. Just being detached from myself somehow. No, it’s not boredom nor is it being tired. I...

Lynn Proctor I think a lot of people feel detached at times. It comes in different forms. I get waves of it sometimes, where I feel that I am not myself. Just an observer along for the ride or something, and feeling that nothing really matters. I'm not sad, not depressed...

But perfectionism got the better of me.
It won't get me today.

Lynn Proctor I have never been a perfectionist about much of anything. I try to do a good job at whatever I do, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, for whatever reason.
More recently, however, I have had a challenge that I find has helped me become better. I...

Lynn Proctor This is a phishing email. It is bogus and they want your password. I can always tell phishing (fake) emails because there is always a misspelling, a bad punctuation, or bad sentence structure. The word in this email, "allege" is misspelled. Do not respond. Get...

My usual approach to aches and pains is to stretch them out, sleep them out or wait them out. I often seem to have them because I have fibromyalgia.
Well I have had an increasing amount of pain this week and none of those...

Lynn Proctor Maybe she didn't realize how important it was for you, or maybe she's feeling overwhelmed with the other relatives coming in the next day. Sometimes, we don't think about how stressed others are when we assume they're not. Holidays are hard. Maybe you can go...

There are several British Expats that shop at the store I work for. I no longer see them as I've switched departments, but when I was a cashier, I often was the one to ring their purchases through.
I have a bad habit though. You...

Lynn Proctor It is several months later now, so I guess you got the problem resolved, one way or another. What happened? Did you loan him the money? I think you did not. What I have realized in my life is that we all are responsible for how our life is. If we choose not to...
