There isn't a doubt in my mind that she knows exactly what I refer to . . . 

Actually, I don't.

That is reality.

Okay.

"Reality" is mostly a figment of human imagination. What it refers to is shared delusions that are fostered by ideological dogma, so an "alternate reality" is merely a competing "reality", and if there's one thing that an ideology hates, it's competition.

Well thank-you, Dr. Phil and Merriam-Webster!

Let me be clear . . . MY reality . . . OR . . . if you prefer: My actuality, MY realism, MY observation, MY experience . . . MY truth.

My "reality" does not compete; nor is it rigid or inflexible.

However, it is not swayed by unsupported, emotional or opinionated bullshit, from others.

Far easier said than done, in a world in which bullshit is common currency.

And by the way, I wasn't implying that you live in a "reality". I didn't know what your thoughts are on reality in general. Now I do, I guess.

Blue whales can reach to 188 decibels while a jet reaches 140 decibels, making it the loudest animal on earth.

If a blue whale is 188 decibels then a rothschild must be well over 200.

Noise pollution?


I wouldn't mind being a whale if the oceans weren't so fucked up. A Narwhal, perhaps.

In the ocean I would like to be a Disney sea turtle.

In the mountains I'd like to be a moose.

Here at home, I'm Batman.

Batman is interesting, bat cave?

I would like to be a mountain goat in the mountains and any ol fish in the water really or sea creature, even a seal.

How many scented candles do you have in your Bat cave?

Maybe 30. I have way more in December/January because that's when the biggest sales are and I try to stock up for the year. I wouldn't pay full price for the candles I like, I'm a tightwad.

My husband says Im poisoning him with my candles and I really don’t give a fuck, but since he bitches about it all the time I have been simmering natural ingredients on the stovetop so he will stfu. I did a mixture of cinnamon, almond and vanilla extract and cloves and it does smell really good. I’m going to do rosemary and lemon next.

Cinnamon Clove Buds at Bath & Body Works is one of my favorites and their Merry Cookie is the nicest vanilla I've ever smelled.

Could the candles be poisoning us?   

yes

Say it ain't so! Wah!

That smells amazing. i can smell it from here!

I had to get a plumber to replace the water supply line in the guest bathroom and I guess the stovetop potpourri does really work because he commented that my house smells like a cinnamon bun.

My wife tried to poison me with the industrial spray deodorizer's that spray shit every 15 minutes, I would cough every single time that shit sprayed.
