In the UK I had to do around 20 lessons, you got to take your test only when your instructor decided you were ready. And you had to have passed a theory test within the last three months I believe. The test was an hour of various maneuvers and questions. I passed on my second attempt. This was twenty years ago.
Then I moved to the US and it was a 5 minute drive around a car park while the test lady complained about her menopausal symptoms, and then "I can tell you can drive" and I passed.
Stories like this remind me of what my husband says about global warming: The world is not being trashed, it's just being rearranged in a way that is not conducive to life.
Every manager Hannah I've ever met has been deeply troubled and unable to not make that everyone else's issue. Only manager ones though, regular Hannahs seem to be immune.
Sock is too exposed at the top of the shoe, leading to an unexpected clash of color or style, sock is squashed up the leg by the boot and disrupts the natural fit of the pant, slouch sock (the worst), and sometimes the shoe makes the sock seam really obvious around my toenails for no apparent reason.
Christ, we cancelled it a month ago and I feel so fucking stupid. Stupid that we had it for so long for... what? I don't need anything so quickly that a couple of days delivery makes a difference. Food, water, heat, somewhere to sleep are things I need on a strict schedule. Knock off earbuds and some silicone molds for frozen shot glasses can absolutely wait. AND IT'S STILL FREE SHIPPING, you just add to cart and buy once you hit $35.
When Fran wants cuddles you can pat your knees (like a "come here boy!" gesture) and she'll do a BIG STRETTTCHHH onto your leg to indicate "yes please pick me up". Then you smoosh your face into her because she's a cat.
Because their extremist speech is normalized. Go on any xitter thread with a political tone and it's basically red flag after red flag of tweets that will be on the "what we know about the shooter" graphics in the future.
One sneezes in your face, one pisses in the bath, and we're pretty sure the third one has cat autism or some auditory dysfunction as the slightest noise (doorbell, motorbike, house noises) sends him into a panic, which in turn becomes violence. And he's almost 20lbs, which can do a lot of damage when it's launching at you with claws out.
Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.
