Had just recommended Eurotrip to some friends who hadn't seen it, downloaded it for them and after just wanting to catch the opening ""Fionaaaaa!" ended up finishing the danged thing.
Every time I get called by a spammed I do my best to waste as much of their time as possible and consider it a badge of honour when they get pissed and start swearing at me.
Every minute with me is a minute they aren't stealing from someone's grandma.
Probably! But schedule-wise, that's rarely feasible or desirable for me. (I swim a lot on my lunch break so can't do yoga after, and after soccer, well a lot of the time that's time for our well earned beer!)
But I also usually intend to wake up a half hour early to do yoga before getting ready for work which has happened... Well... I really considered it one morning.
I dunno, even if we check in first, doesn't anyone else have any effectively semi standing "see you there" meets? (Like, where if someone wasn't going to be there, they'd probably text you.)
Pre texting, I suppose the alternative was either make plans each and every time by calling a few people or, a standing arrangement, like coffee wherever, call me if you can't make it otherwise I'll see you there.
The frustrating part is we worked this out years ago, after bedtime scritches, she wasn't allowed back on the bed until the alarm.
Now she's old, sick and I'm worried any day might be her last. But she seems to know this and takes full advantage. I've woken up with her either purring into my face, sitting on my hip or screaming to announce it's morning.
If I wanted to ensure the status quo and prevent real change, I cam think of no better sociological judo than getting the progressive Left hooked on identity politics.
We pivoted from social justice causes like child labour to systemic racism (but only in the first world, not where our actual daily racism is practiced) and transphobia etc because the former requires personal sacrifices while the latter mostly "requires" snarky takes on social media.
Canada... Depends what kind of visit really. I captain a few rec teams, so breaks or dislocations, we'll go to emergency, get triaged and wait for a bit.
If it's somwthing I'd like to get checked out but not urgent, I'll schedule an appointment with my family dr, might take a week or 2?
For something sooner, I'll go to one of the several walk in clinics nearby. Wait time really varies but generally pretty quick as long as I get there a little early.
Absolutely, idiocracy was too optimistic. In their version, it took 500 years to get there.
We'll be there in a generation, maybe 2. (If we have that many generations.)
