To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." -Thoreau 📷 Ann 2023 130

Ann Autumn @ladyann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Pixie Sticks were fun! My Mom's favorite gum was Dentyne so that cinnamony smell reminds me of her. I was a Juicy Fruit girl. 010
Ann Autumn @ladyann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026What was your favorite candy as a child? I loved Three Musketeers, Chick-O-Sticks, and Bonomo Turkish Taffy (vanilla). Also Sugar Daddies and Sugar Babies and Milk Duds. I guess I wasn't too picky. ☺️ 210

Ann Autumn @ladyann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Way to shake things up! "And now for something completely different..." Lol. At one time it was a badge of honor to memorize the lyrics to this song and sing along. Good way to impress fellow bar flies. 😊 010
Ann Autumn @ladyann.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Love this one! Sounds like disaffected youth playing in their first band in a giant echo-y culvert. 110

Ann Autumn @ladyann.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Respectfully, Aaron, I don't need to read this to get a sense of his impairment (not to mention his lack of integrity, morals, ethics, compassion, or any other positive attribute). We've seen it - suffered from it - for years. The ones who still don't get how despicable he is will never do so. 140
