Child (frantically pointing at my tub of candy corn on the belt): "Mom! Look!"
Mom: "Oh, is the Halloween stuff out already?"
Me (turning around from my cart with a bag of Halloween candy on top of some pumpkin cupcakes): "Um ... yes"
Child: "Why can't I have that!"
Mom: "We only made it halfway through Target and you wanted to check out because you're wearing your heels."
Child: growls and stomps her plastic costume heel on the floor in indignation

Cashier: "I see you're ready for Halloween with your spooky dress."
Me: "Yes, I'm wearing this shirt for Halloween ... it's not just in general rotation of my clothes"

I noticed a friend here hadn't posted in a while and got a little worried. Then I realized they had blocked me. I have mixed feelings about that, obviously, but I guess I prefer that reason to anything more serious.

Where is this on Mastodon?
I've been taking Ozempic for the last couple of years with dramatic effects.
But now for the last year my weight is stable at a reasonably healthy level for the first time in a long time. Getting prepared for the big decade, I just turned 70 this year. It's a daunting moment. I remember when my grandfather was 70. It seemed like an impossibly age. I was 15.
Anyway I haven't said anything about it on my main blog. Not sure how people would react.
But this blog, daveverse, is finding another audience. I haven't made sense of it, people are liking it somewhere, but we don't have a Like button on the site. I'm thinking they must be doing it on Mastodon, but where? This is something we have to work on for Mastodon. There need to be places, and I always assumed they were there but now I think they aren't. This is not a good thing to be confused about.
Anyway back to Ozempic. I realize now how it works. After two years, I don't get an emotional rush out of eating. It isn't about satisfying a need for love any more. It's just eating. And I swear I taste so much more of the food now than I ever did. Eating for nutrition and eating for sensation.
My old grandfather used to call this the Art of Living. Maybe this attitude toward food isn't only coming from the drug, maybe time does that too.
My message btw to people who feel 70 is impossibly old, you won't feel that way so much when you are 70 because you keep learning and seeing things you didn't see before. It's part of the trip. I almost died a few times earlier in life, glad I didn't so I get to do this.

@glyph my strat was to make sure every person on my team had a different set of non-contradictory talking points to focus on
