    Same goes for you pumpkin!

    My mom would always tell me I'd jump out of bed flat footed as hell and then just hit the "PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW FUCK YOU PEW PEW PEW PEW"


    all mouth sounds of course and I'd shoot it out till she could wake me up and get me back in a bed.

    Not sure if it's the same as Japan, but when we went to Korea it was way cheaper to just rent a cell phone instead of using ours on an international plan. They had kiosks right at the airport.

    S/He could get a very nice smartphone and a great data plan at Japan with less than $200.

    I was gonna make this suggestion, when I travelled for work, I rented a cellphone from the airport/town when that was an option. It's super helpful.

    A reader asked this question on an article about How to Keep Yellow Jacket Wasps Away:

    I want to enjoy the outdoors, but either a wasp or yellow jacket keeps flying around me. I just want to read and watch hummingbirds. I haven't been stung, but it keeps flying around me. What do I do?

    You've got an admirer @Hummingbirdee

    For reference, I've been shot 3 times been shot @ a handful of times. My brother and a lot of my friends have died because of this street shit.

    10/10 would not recommend.

    This happens to me on occasion, literally hit the floor running. I never find the way out, I always run into a wall or a closed door. Sucks when it happens but I'm usually giggling about it a few hours later. They think I'm 10/10 crazy town here too.

    Will second @Hummingbirdee on this one--PTSD nightmares are a reason that I loathe sleeping (along with the fact it's so hard for me to relax that sleeping is rough without a little medicinal help). I hope things get a little bit better for you soon. I'm also a fellow sexual abuse survivor--let me know if you ever need anyone to talk to, my inbox is always open.

    Whenever I get into suicidal mode, I think about this quote:

    “If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don’t like. I had an old self that I killed. You can kill yourself too, but that doesn’t mean you got to stop living."

    Sending you strength to make it through this rough period. We're all rooting for you. <3

    I have a strongly scented candle next to my bed since scent is one of the senses that can ground you. I usually snorf my candle and count the amount of pets in the bedroom to remind myself where I am, but occasionally I take off like a bird out of hell and Matt worried he will have to tackle me to avoid me running into the street.
