Feeling bad that I missed the era where people left their homes to rent video tapes from a video store, it appears to be the peak of human evolution

I'm going to Edmonton this month and trying to plan my itinerary. Do I want to visit places or people, or a plan a mix of experiences? Oh, and food and beverages of course.. very important. 🤔

One way to tell if someone is done speaking and wants you to respond is when they wave their hand in front of your face.

"DB.. Is that supposed to be a nickname that's easier than calling you by your full name?" dB is the symbol for Decibel, a logarithmic unit of sound intensity; 10 times the logarithm of the ratio of the sound intensity to some reference intensity... So in answer to your question, yes.

"Now is the [nuclear] winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of [New] York;"

Often, the people who tell us not to worry, it's going to be fine, are those with little risk that it'll be anything else.

Each survival, while exhausting, demonstrates our strength and resilience, and can improve our confidence in doing so again.

Remember when 44 people in Toronto ☠️ of SARS in 2003 and it was a big deal? Remember H1N1 in 2009? I do. It sucked. Over 500 confirmed ☠️ . Flu shots became big after that. COVID-not over-continues to ☠️50 to 100 people a week. Officially 59k ☠️ & counting. Excess mortality estimates double this.

Look for the helpers and find one that looks really tired, and take over so they can tap out for a minute

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

I want to whine about your post, but that would validate it. What to do. 🤔

Just because a person has a gorgeous heart & gentle nature doesn't mean they're naive or fragile. You never know what kind of chaos it took for someone to become that calm. Don't mistake kindness for weakness...those ppl have survived the hardest battles—they're smart & strong af
