What’s on your mind?

You have my sympathy, SS! We have another week here in the US to enjoy Daylight Savings Time, but our turn is coming, all too soon.... I am hoping that over the next several months that a decision is finally made on the part of our legislators that we go to Daylight Savings Time permanently when we make the switch in March 2023, so that we can just be done with this nonsense.

Agree it's always at the worst times of year. For falling back, it finally gets to the point where it's twilight on the way home so I'm not blinded by sun glare, but it's still light enough to see driving. And then bam total darkness. And springing it's finally getting light again and bam it's totally light. Would be nice if falling was a little later and springing was a little sooner

I noticed the same issue with my kids - and myself at work. What truly pisses me off is that there is no effing standard, I saw it at college level and high school level. What I mean is that teachers will use different systems each requiring different logins and different GUI (this regardless if the starting point is the district’s website). Then, each teacher communicates in very different ways. You have the teacher that never sends an email for which the syllabus is a 50 page long gospel with precise dates. Then you have the creative teacher that sends information in weekly pamphlets using JPG (obviously non searchable). Then you have the teacher that mixes paper and online. Then you have the teacher that writes daily long emails with the expectation that they’re read in full.

As a parent, it’s a struggle to keep up with the BS. I think that most kids just ride with the flow. I used to think that it’s because I am older, but I now think that the system is just a mess. I miss the old days with a book on paper, papers, and the “what to do” was a simple calendar in addition to a weekly agenda. It was much easier and clearer.

The funny one yesterday is I got a VM and text to check for some important email which didn't come. Could have put the message in either of those other mediums, preferably text

If I were retired I wouldn't hate winter so much. If it would snow, I'd just wouldn't drive. It never stays on the ground long enough like people seem to think by how ridiculous grocery stores get when there's even a whisper of a coating coming.

Yes this is my favorite. Sometime Twitter can be nice. FB I have family and HS and church people. I try to mostly ignore or at least not engage in the other stuff. Twitter I took off my cell because I get random notifications from people I don't even follow. I don't constantly get that with FB. Only use twitter to give feedback to businesses and check on statuses if there is an issue

I have no notifications except iMessage and email (and only for my @me.com address. Gmail doesn’t go to my phone and that’s the one I use for online shopping etc.
I don’t want to be bugged by buzzing and pings all day. I have work to do.

I think the time has come for me to spend some time within the Middle Ages, a period I am more ignorant about than I’d like to admit even to myself. Will look for a few books and resources. Considering the vastness of the period and its hundreds of subjects (politics, war, architecture, philosophy, economy) I feel a bit like an explorer of the unknown.

As they said, hic sunt dracones.

Thank you yaxomoxay and Lioness~. We need more people to speak up about the evil we see around us.

I am proud to have been banned from one Aldi shop because I spoke up* about an incident of racial profiling I witnessed.


* Yeah, ok, it was in a loud, vigorous and animated fashion. But if you're polite about it, they just ignore you. And they will think twice next time.

PS Lioness~, love the new avatar. Michael Burnham is a true lioness.

This is the issue I used to have with people. You say something nicely a dozen times and then lose it, and they're like why didn't you just ask nicely. I did - TWELVE TIMES!!!!!!!
 
Every now and then you see something that just makes the mind boggle.
These are the new 'seats' that some airlines are putting in to their business class.

My mind is broken. I cannot think of any further sensible comments.
Any other comments my mind is coming up with are not suitable for this family-friendly site...

Is this a seat, or something that is supposed to resemble a bed?

Good grief, horrifying indeed.

Tonight, I came to the decision that really long hair is not my thing.
When being active, it’s either short or long, not in between.
During pandemic I let it groooow. I always wanted to test it as I haven’t had that looong before, but now I know.

Well, I had a wild amazing moment here…hair fell…
Will have to visit my hairdresser later though.
It’s good, and VERY liberating, but a little professional touch won’t hurt 💥✂️✌🏼

This is just brilliant. After the constant annoyance of airport security, waiting in lines, slow boarding and endless announcements by the flight crew finally a bed.

They should add loud. If they're quiet, and no one knows, who cares?

Same as at work. They say no cell phone. But if you are just quietly reading, who cares. I'd be more annoyed by people talking loudly in there. And even if it's somewhere like the cafe where you can use them, it's still rude to use your phone loudly when some are just trying to eat/relax
