Trailer Trash
When I tell people “I am a full-time RVer,” almost 95% of the time I get a quick eyebrow raise and some praise. A lot of them will say, “Wow! I wish I could do that” or “I bet that is a cool lifestyle.” Overall, I receive many supporters. However, that 5% erks the $h!t out of me and have equated me to being “Trailer Trash.”
Crystal A. WolfePublished 2 years ago in WanderMultiverse Of Madness: One Small Detail Brings Hope For The Future Of Wanda's Kids
As everyone who has seen the film will know, the main motivation of the Darkhold-corrupted Wanda Maximoff in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is to steal America Chavez's universe hopping powers so she can find a world where she can live happily with her children, Tommy and Billy. Strange's attempt to dissuade the Scarlet Witch from her plan by reminding her that the boys don't exist is immediately shot down by the reveal that they exist in every universe, except the core MCU.
Kristy AndersonPublished 2 years ago in GeeksWhy Do Neurodivergent People Have Quirky Special Interests?
Most people have one or two special interests that they focus on intensely. Maybe it’s stamp collecting, bird watching, or spending hours tinkering with cars. For neurodivergent people such as those having autism or ADHD, special interests often take centre stage in their lives. Special interests can provide a sense of focus and calm for us, neurodivergent individuals. They can also be a source of enjoyment, pride, and accomplishment. When nurtured, special interests can blossom into rewarding hobbies or even prospering careers.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born more than five centuries ago, 6 March 1475 to be exact. As a young man, he was a magnificent block of marble that was throughout his life broken down steadily by people around him. First the pope and the church, next by his thievious assistants, and finally by his own flaming love for young men.

There weren’t always Dragons in the Valley. Rain began to patter stone. Dismal rock at the top of the world stretched from mountain shrubs to a precipitous drop. Ebony waters lapped placidly leagues below. The day’s last sunlight clung to the gulf’s horizon, blotted out by thickly laid, cinder grey clouds. Lucid lightning reflected off the brackish abyss; thunder growled and bellowed in the distance. The storm had come. The somber and subdued scene was beginning to be washed away by a gelid rain, like lasting consciousness dissolving a nightmare.
Talia FrankPublished 2 years ago in FictionYou Can Beat Inflation
Go to any supermarket, and it may feel like doom and gloom. You can grow your own food if you feel inclined to, yet if you play your cards right, you will be able to buy what you need. Throw in rising interest rates, as well as expensive power bills, and it can feel like a recipe for disaster. Know that inflation is currently out of your control, although on the flip side, your reaction to this once in every decade (or sometimes two decades) economic event is something that you can control.
Justine CrowleyPublished 2 years ago in LifehackWhat Went Wrong: Oilers Swept in Chaotic West Final
The Battle of Alberta series didn't just determine who would represent the Pacific Division in the Conference Finals, it was a battle to see who would be the last Canadian team standing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That honor ended up going to the Edmonton Oilers, after a five game series win, and it was their first Final Four appearance since 2006--the year that the Oilers made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final and fell just one win short. The Oilers faced off against the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final, and it was a marquee matchup: Connor McDavid vs Nathan MacKinnon. I was one of many fans who was salivating over this battle between two of the biggest stars in the NHL.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedAn Antiquarian's Race Against Time
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley, or so I thought… As a book collector and antiquarian, I treasured history, storytelling, and artifacts. I was on my way to a new antiques shop in the Valley that I’d heard about, searching for a specific book of world history that I hoped would complete my collection. Other bookstores in town seemed at a loss for my request. I'd searched every bookstore and antiques specialty shop in town for this treasure and my last hope of finding it was at the latest antiques shop downtown. The shop had no name — only an address. I drove my car down some cobblestone roads, swerved into an alleyway and parked.
