Your Plants Aren’t Vegan, And Neither Are You
As a vegan, you probably buy your organic fruits and vegetables from an organic grow (a.k.a. organic greenhouse). In order to qualify as “organic”, those vegetables have to be grown in a substrate. Unfortunately, the substrate doesn’t have enough nutrients to allow the vegetables and fruits to grow, so the substrate has to be fertilized.…
Taking A Break From Blogging Temporarily
Just as I feared, Yu Yan was giving me a massage yesterday when the car I had bought showed up. lol. I never got my happy ending! When I finally got outside to inspect the 2020 Dodge Durango, I was thrilled with it. The owner and I went for a test drive within the gates…
Homemade Dinner Date with Yu Yan / Kippers and Tea / My New Wristwatch / Yu Yan Doing What She Does Best
Wow, what a night with Yu Yan. She did an incredible job making dinner for us last night. We shared dim sum, an entire roast duck that was absolutely spectacular, garlic-ginger shrimp, stir-fried vegetables, wonton soup (made with duck meat), a bowl of beautiful, fluffy white rice, and egg tarts served with a cup of…
ChatGPT’s Opinion of Vintage In Stepford
I’m seated at the table on the north terrace, waiting for Yu Yan to bring our beverages for the evening, so I decided to screw around with AI and ask its opinion of my blog: Me: What do you think of the blogger named Vintage In Stepford? ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don’t…
My Date With Gracie / My New Watch / “AI Girlfriend” / Yu Yan’s Night
Gracie looked beautiful last night and, despite her telling me she thought I was being unfair to her sister-wives before we went, we really had a good time. Gracie laughs at any stupid joke I tell, and I was on my game last night, so we both had a lot of fun. And sex with…
My Date With A Hot, Texas Blonde / The Property Next Door / Cars / Clothes, a New Watch, and “Simple Affluence” / Taking Gracie On A Date Against Her Wishes
Jenny and I had great fun last night at the local taquería (taco joint). Jenny is the kind of girl (like Marie or Gracie) who can eat as much as she wants, and she never gains an ounce. The food was incredible, and Jenny and I laughed up a storm before heading home around 9:30…
A Quick Update / Living In The Moment
I realize I haven’t been writing updates about me and my family, but I just wanted to assure you everyone is fine. There’s been so much going on that I just can’t keep up with it on the blog. If I did, there would be 5–10 entries a day. And, honestly, I don’t want to…
“Marriage is Racist!” REEEE!
In a recent paper entitled Theorizing White heteropatriarchal supremacy, marriage fundamentalism, and the mechanisms that maintain family inequality, author Bethany L. Letiecq (whoever the hell she is) claims that the institution of marriage is deeply racist and needs to end. Essentially, she claims that marriage subjugates women, empowers the mythical “patriarchy”, and promotes the goal…
If You’re Looking For Motivation …
Most people believe the difference between themselves and successful people is that successful people have motivation. That’s simply not true. Successful people understand that motivation is nothing more than a mood. You’re either excited to do something (we call that “feeling highly motivated”) or you’re frustrated that you have to do it (we call that…
Update On My Daughter-In-Law / Hawaiian Shirts! / Date Night With Marie
My daughter-in-law hasn’t had a single rage episode since she began her new vitamin regimen. My son says he has never known her to be this calm and happy. Interestingly, there’s an unexpected side effect of these vitamins for her; she had terrible lactose intolerance, but, like most people who have lactose intolerance, she insisted…
“She’s Like a Different Person!” / No More Booze, I Think / Hawaiian Shirts
I didn’t hear anything from my son’s family’s villa, and they didn’t join us for breakfast, so I texted my son to meet me on the south terrace after we had finished eating. When he got here, I asked how his fiancée was. He said, “she’s like a different person! She’s completely calm, she’s joking…
Lights On But No Yelling
The lights in my son’s family’s villa have been on for almost 45 minutes, but I don’t hear a sound. Someone let their dog (Apollo) out, and he’s playing with Augustus right now, but for the first time in a very long time, I don’t hear my daughter-in-law yelling. I mean, she always yells and…
Vitamins / Biphasic Sleep
It’s early morning (just after 5 am), and I’m on the south terrace sipping distilled water and lime. I’m quietly waiting for my daughter-in-law to wake up so we can see whether the vitamins I gave her last night have an impact on her sleep and her morning rage episodes. She usually wakes up around…
Charging My Batteries
I’ve been thinking to myself, “you know, I really should write a personal update on my blog so that everyone knows what’s going on with the family.” But every time I think I’m going to do it, I start writing something else entirely. I definitely don’t want anyone to worry, and I really want to…
My Daughter-In-Law’s Conditions Solved?
As long as I’ve known my daughter-in-law, she has complained of anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. When I’m awake in the early morning, I know precisely when she has woken up because I hear her yelling at their dog, and yelling in an enraged voice at anything and everything … including herself. She has suffered…
