  • The worst was probably splintering my tailbone. Apparently I have oddly dense bones, so they don’t like to full out break, but just splinter.

    I was snowboarding and trying to keep up with my mom. At the very very end of the run, I snagged my back edge and got slapped so hard to the ground, I’m pretty sure I blacked out for a few seconds (wear a helmet, kids). We rode the rest of the day and I don’t remember much about it all except my butt hurt so bad. I couldn’t sit down normally for over a year. I sat on my knees or in a snow tube in the living room because I couldn’t stand to sit on the couch or in a chair at all.

    A separate incident that might also tie for worst, but I think I fractured my skull when I was around 8? It could just be one of the growth plates, but I have a scar in my skin, and then a serious dent in my forehead in the skull which is attached to a long crack that goes down to my eyebrow before I’m not able to feel it anymore. We didn’t go to the hospital or anything, I just dealt with the swelling and the small split. I did dent the corner beam in our house though. Thick skull I guess?









  • Not at all unreasonable.

    If it’s within your means, could y’all take a long trip out that way? I can’t at all imagine what the draw is to rural Wyoming. It’s hot as hell and dryer than an oven in summer, and it’s insanely windy and cold in the winter. Maybe go take a week during each season and get an idea. I’m sure there are some ranchers out there that would hire a temporary farmhand as well.

    Good luck.









  • Laundry has always been a struggle for me. I’m guilty of the classic laundry chair.

    I got one of those shelves that have the square shelf things and several cloth drawers for them. I don’t really fold anything anymore. Socks in one cube, underwear in another, tank tops in their own, shorts in theirs, etc. I do hang my pants and long sleeve things. And I have a longer box thing for my tshirts to lay out semi flat in so they’re not getting too wrinkled.

    It’s helped me a ton. Just throw everything in it’s box and tada. I like sorting things, but just hate the folding part so this has been a saver.
