I'm not sure what you mean by remote...living out in the wilderness. Can you pick up the phone and ask them how they're getting along. If your budget can afford it, how about a gift of food or fruit. Anything, just reach out. Connection matters.2 -
It's too late for me to do something worthwhile for Christmas, this year {decorative wise, I already ate & drank, enough} but throughout next year, I'll begin purchasing whatever's upon clearance and/or sale.
Also I figure that since I've chosen not celebrate anything, with food and/or beverages anymore, that I'll buy an ornament every time for the tree then instead!2 -

Instead of fighting it, try listening to it...
Just say "Okay mind, I'm here listening to you go ahead"
And I bet it stops, this honestly works for me...1 -

God no! I’ll be buying a holiday for Christmas somewhere hot for 3 months if I listen to my mind 😝
Well you could try to tell it to be quite, but then that's your mind fighting with... Your mind 😂

Can't figure out why foods I've disliked my entire life in the extreme (turned off by the look, smell, taste, texture, color) are foods I now crave & have no idea where the craving is coming from... I'm also liking these new foods (spinach, mushrooms... rice is a new one I'll have to try this week, cuz I'm craving that, too & have always found it disgusting).
Conversely, foods I used to eat daily (tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, carrots) are foods that I don't like any longer. I can eat them, but unless they're covered in anything to mask the flavor, I don't like them.
What gives?4 -

I can relate reading this. I hated vegetables all my life but since I have been on a plant base diet I know crave them. So friggin weird. Oh and 🥩 steaks, beautiful delicious, savory steaks which I have LOVED all my life I can barely eat. Seriously 😳.2 -

I'm still blaming all our sleeping woes on the full moon on Fri the 13th. The cold moon... cold indeed. Well, played demon moon, well played.
Insomnia... you deserve to perish tonight.

I had the same thing when i switched to a plant based diet.
When I was a vegetarian for 5-yrs in my 20s, I'd never been so ill. When I returned to eating meat (beef mostly), I became healthy. Although, does "plant based" mean vegetarian/vegan? Or, just that it's the bulk of the diet?
I love fruit, but hate veggies, except lettuce & potatoes, which I'm not liking much, atm either... what's happening? Have always eaten vegs, but have that face of a kid being forced to eat liver & onions followed by a broccoli-tree bark shake.
Luckily, I eat alone.

@r3d_butt3rfly_
I've been waiting to see you around to show you this majesty!
I put it beside a sheet of paper to try to give reference.
I adore this plant!
And night time! I love how it follows the light during the day and closes at night.
...reminds me I have to write the vendor a great review.9 -

"Purple Shamrock" (oxalis triangularis)
good summary:
https://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/blogs/plant-care/low-maintenance-houseplants-oxalis-triangularis
My grandmother had a few, which my mom has now - they are hard to kill, and very low maintenance - and fun to look at. They follow the sun during the day, if you rotate them during the day, they move too. They close up at night, and open with day break.
I found a great vendor on etsy. If you are in the US they are quite inexpensive, I had to double the price for import fees, but was well worth it.
Funny aside...I was looking for this particular plant and bought what was being sold as it on Amazon...took 1 month to arrive - I eagerly planted the seeds - and it was lawn clover...a weed. I still grew it, 'cause it was kinda cute, but man was I disappointed.5 -

Indeed. Fortunately, for every gnarly sprout that should burn in Valhalla today if not sooner, there are melons, the food of the gods & goddesses.
