The thing that people don't get is that some TV is not for you. If a show gets low viewing figures then it's cancelled immediately these days, so everything you see on TV has decent figures for it's timeslot, ESPECIALLY those long running trashy daytime things. You're just not the target audience.
I taught teenagers for a long while, the things about teenagers that are annoying are also so very relateable. They're full of hormones, incapable of handling their emotions, and way too busy coping with all of that to be in school.
A lot of adults seem to have amnesia about that time but spending time with whole classes of them makes your own experiences of it flood back.
Like when a guy you liked didn't say hi to you in the morning and you had a whole existential crisis that nobody would ever love you, cried in the toilet at lunch time, then decided you were a strong independent woman, got over the whole thing, by the end of the day you were like "screw him, I deserve so much better!" then you saw him leaving school and he was like "Sorry I didn't say hi earlier, I had my headphones in" and it wasn't actually a thing at all? That's basically being a teenager all the time.
I mean, boxes in general are my organising style. I keep a lot of aquariums so I bought 8 shoebox sized boxes, one for substrate, one for decor, one for water testing, etc.
In my bathroom I used to have a lot of stuff so I bought a few wicker baskets, hair stuff, skin care, and make up, then a tall cupboard with fabric boxes for cleaning products, toothcare, hair dyes, bath bombs, you know. I have boxes everywhere.
There's a family video where I'm like 3, I get myself a wine glass and go to the wine and a cousin helps me pour myself a small wine. It's very clear on the video that this wasnt the first time.
Everyone was building empires at the time and fighting over who got what. All that nuking England would do is to mean France, the netherlands, germany, spain etc would get more bits
I have a few and have had more in the past, but my current most interesting I think are mourning geckos. They're a little gecko and when they were found in the rainforest the researchers realised they were all female, so assumed some dreadful disease had killed off all the males and called them 'mourning geckos' as they were mourning all their husbands and would die alone.
Turns out nope, they don't need men, they're independent women, they lay fertile eggs through parthenogenesis, who are also female.
I have a section of metal pole. A group of mates went on holiday together, somewhere along the way we acquired this pole, long story that's not relevant, but on coming home we decided to break this pole and each take a bit home. I made an art piece with it and some other momentos from the holiday. It's a nice way of remembering a nice time but occasionally someone is sitting in my front room, does a squinty look and goes - "Is that a pole??"
A ex took me to his relatives house which had two key features. One was a giant shed with rabbits in tiny hutches stacked 4 high, must have been 70 rabbits in there, absolutely disgusting, and she spoke about each of her beloved pets as if she cared. The second was her living room with 4 of her favourite deceased rabbits stuffed and on the shelf. She encouraged me to touch one of them to see how soft he was. Grim.
It's easier than that to desensitise, there's 8 hour videos of fireworks on youtube. Put it on starting really quiet so you can barely hear it for a bit each day, then slowly increase the volume. I foster so I do it with every dog that comes in, usually every day for 2 weeks. None of mine even flinch.
There's a lot who don't want to put the work in, but their dogs are already desensitised to loads of other loud noises like the TV, Ambulances passing, even low flying planes. Think of all the people who put war films on and don't think twice about all the bombs and gunshots.
Evri has the worst reputation nationwide by far. I have them on ring doorbell trying to shove a parcel that was bigger than the letter box through by force. They then sent a 'proof of delivery' picture to me that showed the box completely mashed. They've thrown parcels, left them in stupid places (including in a full recycling bin on bin day!), damaged them, lost them, and delivered them to completely the wrong house. Next door is full of people putting their delivery pics up with "Does anyone recognise this door?".
