Been here 2 weeks, already got blocked twice lol

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 13 Feb 22

I don't know if it's a record time for Mylot, but it is for me. I did mention in my introduction that I'm not in my right mind, but also that I'm dealing with social anxiety, so I consider being blocked a blessing as...

Who's your favourite stand up comedian?

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 9 Feb 22

Mine is Sebastian Maniscalco. It doesn't matter how many times I see the same clips over and over, I'm still laughing my butt off. He's clean (for the most part), his mannerisms, delivery and physical acts are absolutely...

My memory loss made me lose potential clients

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 9 Feb 22

People find my blog from searches and they sometimes contact me asking for advice. I give it for free but some of them want something more and willing to pay for it. The idiot that I am, I told them that even though I'm qualified...

Things will not improve until you're willing to change

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 8 Feb 22

One thing I don't miss when I was living in my country is when family, relatives, neighbours, friends and even customers (I was a computer technician) would call on me, crying, complaining, acting all desperate, asking for my...

This is my "bread"

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 8 Feb 22

Since going on surgical menopause, soy has been my friend. So I started making these absolutely divine soy pancakes. It took me a while to get right, but they're so delicious, you don't even need syrup. In fact, to me they taste...

Great posts, have no clue what to say

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 7 Feb 22

Sometimes I find some really amazing posts around here, whether it's an opinion on a subject that resonates with me, great writing skills when telling a story, or opening up my mind to new theories, knowledge and world...

My son started using Brave browser

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 7 Feb 22

My son is very observant and loves to ask a lot of questions, and one of them was "what is that new browser you're using?" So I told him, and he installed it, loved it, enabled the rewards, and now he's even more motivated to do...

Anyone else annoyed with the idea of book summaries?

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 4 Feb 22

I've tried 2 apps to see what the fuss was all about (Blinkist and Storyshots) and I absolutely hated the experience. I even thought it might be a good way to discover new books I would enjoy reading, but it does the opposite, it...

Do you journal?

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 4 Feb 22

I found journaling to be highly beneficial for me. In real life I don't have the desire nor energy (especially since having children) to engage in social activities and I found I enjoy quiet moments on my own and being my own...

Brave - a browser with rewards?

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 4 Feb 22

I just switched to Brave. It seems to have the engine of Chrome/Chromium (V8), and even all of its extensions, which is great, it makes the transition easier. I'm in love with the Dark Reader extension which allows me to put all...

My anecdotal observations with diabetes

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 4 Feb 22

My father got type 2 diabetes around the same age (late 30s) as my grandmother from my mother's side. My grandmother also had a full hysterectomy at a young age (just like her daughters, and just like me), so her risks were...

Free textbooks from Rice University

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 2 Feb 22

One gem I found a few months ago was the OpenStax website from Rice University. They have free college (and some high-school) textbooks which you can read online, download as PDFs, read them on your mobile device through their...

What I eat can either heal me or kill me

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 2 Feb 22

I had to learn that the hard way long time ago, so now I'm always careful with what goes in to my mouth. Some people can get away with their guilty pleasures. Not me. So processed sugars, artificial sweeteners, refined oils,...

Finally much better and current goals

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 1 Feb 22

I'm able to speak as of this afternoon, with some headaches still, but I'll take it. Over a week out, I think the worst of the Covid recovery is now behind me. In fact, I don't have any other symptoms anymore, so I'm grateful for...

Broca's area in frontal lobe

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 30 Jan 22

I see that the Broca's area in the frontal lobe is where the speech process happens. That's the part of my brain that has been affected from Covid (I mean I think it's from Covid) and it's that exact location where it hurts (front...

Introduction... Again

healerWitch @healerWitch (417) • Portugal 30 Jan 22

I've deleted my first introduction a few days ago, as my social anxiety skyrocketed as usual. I've also noticed how lovely and highly intellectual this community is, and I know myself well enough that my words would probably...
