Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 03/09/2026more and more, lately when i visit sites that i actually do business with i have to set my cookie preferences every.single.time. this includes targeting cookies and Don't Sell My Data to Shitheads. sometimes i forget. perhaps this is happening to you? 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 31/08/2026it was the best POH-TAY-TOE to have ever POH-TAY-TOED? personally i would have a hard time with this review since i've never met a potato that i didn't like... 011

Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 23/08/2026don't get me wrong, i *really don't like winter, buuut, at least when i'm cold i can take a bath, drink hot chocolate, put on socks/sweater, or huddle under a blanket. when it is unholy hot i can't do anything but be nekkid, and i don't like torturing the neighbours. 011
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 16/08/2026last time i did that i ended up with a closet full of clothes in the shades of onyx, slate, light black, charcoal, dark black and jet. the upside is that i can get dressed in the dark with little chance of regret... 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 12/08/2026*crickets* well, um, you do live in AB--which is basically 'Murica Lite... *flees* 100
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i'm of A Certain Age. given the chance to read something, rather than watch it, there is no contest. i like being able to scan content & pull out relevant info quickly. watching video really makes me kinda impatient & snarly. 😬 but then, i'm prolly not the demographic your publishers have in mind. 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i am a senior and my "Mom/Nana jokes" are notoriously bad, but i swear the older you get the more things slip out of your brain with impunity--bypassing all filters--and erupt with little care for consequence or propriety. so there you go, another something you can look forward to. 😉 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i find often i've put so much time & emotional lifting into long-ass book series that just don't pay out in the end. i find i'm reluctant to do that anymore since i'm a Woman of A Certain Age & i don't have the reserves i used to to just shrug that off. my peace of mind & sanity is important to me 😂 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i fear i'm one of these souls who think they're funnier than they actually are. 😬 thank you for your patience and beneficence. 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 11/08/2026mine broke the terms of our agreement by ambushing me in the shower. it did not go well, for either of us. *hums taps* 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 07/08/2026i haven't posted [meaninfully] on SM in decades. i don't want my great-aunt, 2x removed, to be all up in my bidness. 😂 021
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 07/08/202624 years for me. remember when you could filter your posts to a tailor made audience? *woeses* 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 06/08/2026after my mom moved in i learned that alzheimer's falls under the umbrella of dementia. [there are over 200 kinds of dementia! 😳] my mom was ultimately diagnosed with alzheimer's and vascular dementia. until then i'd always thought that alzheimer's and dementia were interchangeable terms. TMYK 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 07/07/2026at my mom's end of life, getting her to her medical appointments was like pulling teeth. it got to the point where i told her that she could ride with me or i'd have to pay to have her taken by IFT [basically, ambulance] instead. it was never easy. you have my sympathy. 😩 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 07/07/2026good thing you didn't go for ginger ale, aka fire water. 😉 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 06/07/2026i don't follow football/soccer and had no particular opinion of that red card, but the moment i read that The C*nt of Mostly Crisco had made that phone call i was incandescent with rage, and a sudden fan of Belgium. 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 04/07/2026oh it's been that way for me for months. nothing has fixed it. i wish you better luck. 120
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 30/06/2026i am sure this will be an unpopular opinion...the map is a thing of beauty and a work of art, but why is the artist credit printed in letters to rival the size of those found on a freeway off-ramp? the scale is distracting. detracting? 000
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 28/06/2026well now, that explains the 1 minute of screaming and carrying on i heard from various neighbours a bit ago...😬 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 28/06/2026a gentle reminder that there are people who live in countries where red beans--or other "common" ingredients, for that matter-- aren't easily obtained and we must substitute the closest approximation. 000
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 15/06/2026i'm not great with violence in books, [and movies] so when it surpasses my comfort threshold i just skim ahead. do folks who don't want to read smex not do the same thing? 000
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 11/06/2026i don't own a darning egg, but i do own socks that bust a hole within 5 minutes of touching the floor. i often debate whether i should buy a darning egg and develop the will to darn endless holes... 220
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 09/06/2026i can't lay a single finger on my phone while driving, but riffling through a menu to find the right setting is a-okay? o_O 040
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 07/06/2026thanks! when i checked on the interwebs, 10 people had 12 opinions. 🤷♀️🤣 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 06/06/2026i am old enough to remember this being served at baby showers--with the bread dyed to be pink, blue, yellow or green to compliment the gender theme. it was very off-putting IMHO. 😬 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 06/06/2026where is the sign up list? modern cat ladies just don't have these opportunities! 030
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 05/06/2026the key is to start eating it immediately as you leave the drive thru/register. rookie mistake. 😉 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 02/06/2026i'm afraid that i'd be spending so much time in your loo that you'd think i have IBS. 😂 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 01/06/2026and *this is why i let her sleep smack in the middle of my bed 020
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 21/05/2026pick a number, say...500. write that many words and then type The End. you can market the book as cheeky and unexpected. a crowning achievement of your Breakdown Era. ;) 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 19/05/2026you [and Adam] look amazing. :) might i also call out anybody who criticize other women for *not wearing makeup? seriously, let women live without trying to meet any expectation and standard but their own. 020
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 13/05/2026there was also yelling. at the top of my lungs. i think i now have to move since 4 townhouses face my bedroom windows and i'm pretty sure my nekkid spider dance didn't go unnoticed. 😭 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 13/05/2026this morning i was sitting up in bed reading the news. a spider dropped down into the top of my sleep shirt & started charging around. i threw back the bed covers with so much force i launched all 3 cats, yanked off my shirt--in front of the open windows mind you--& danced around the room. -100/10 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 13/05/2026when given the option to watch the video, or read the article, i will *always read. further, i will go as far as muting a video if it offers CC. 🤷♀️ 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 04/05/2026my sign often fails. last time some ballsy guy rang my bell i pointed emphatically and repeatedly at the sign. he kept assuring me that he wasn't trying to solicit--as he tried to sell me something--arguing with me until i shut the door in his face. *sigh* 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 01/05/2026oh good. long have i searched for somebody to pay me what i think i'm worth. 😜 010
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 01/05/2026please tell me that your job[s] will be watching Netflix. also, can you recommend friends for employment? 110
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 29/04/2026AI needs to do the work so that humans can create art. anybody who thinks differently should be shot with a ball of their own sh*t. 000
Mara @somercurial.bsky.social · 27/04/2026THIS! this is why i could never-ever-ever get into FB, etc. totally unrelated, LJ sent me a Happy 24th [25th?] badge the other day and i needed to sit down... 020
