Oh my gawd!! Looking into this now! Because of my job, I constantly need to carry far too many keys around, including my damn car key fob — meaning when I lean over, I sometimes end up pressing a button on my fob! These look like problem solvers!

Not for a retail purchase such as that. It’s just the default screen in many payment systems now.

I see some folks commenting that they don’t tip fo “to-go” — I always do, usually about 15%, because an employee went through the process of putting your order together and putting it into containers that cost that business money. And if it’s a place I order from often, they often remember that and are extra nice.

I have opened all of those to check! Thanks!

Another possibility — are you drinking enough water? I will wake up with a migraine if I’m dehydrated. Unfortunately, as you age and the bladder loses resiliency, it becomes a balance of enough water to not get dehydrated, but not so much that you’re waking up at 2 am to pee.

The ai summaries are pretty much worthless

Nuts & gum.

When I was younger, right up through college age, I’d occasionally have precog dreams. Not dejavu — I’d dream an event, a place, a person, and then the event would happen, we’d go by that place, I’d meet that person. Our society does not believe in these types of things, so there is no way to learn how to maintain or build on these abilities, so they faded away.

Very first one I really remember, our TV was out for repairs and I dreamt we got it back and my dad was watching my favorite show. I told my mom that morning about the dream, and she said, “they haven’t fixed it, we don’t know when we will get the TV back.” Came home from school and the TV was back!

It’s so natural you might even say it’s super-natural

One cat is on a prescription kidney diet (Royal Canin). The others get Halo dry chicken. Made with chicken, no by-products or meal. Shiny coats and happy cats. Inside cat also gets dental treats, and eats the other cat’s expensive prescription diet when she can. I have a cat-mate fountain, it works well, even though I’ve had to replace the pump.

Yes, Burger Street! Spouse LOVED their olive burger!

I walked into an iPhone repair shop when my old iPhone’s battery went puffy and they offered me $100 cash. That made me very happy!

Yeah, sometimes, but I remember: Stress is not what happens to you; it’s how you react to what happens to you.

A lot of the little things that wear you down can be negative because of the way you look at them, or the amount of importance you give them. Looking at it another way, or comparing it to something more important, can change how depressing it could be.

Making breakfast and I drop something on the floor: what the hell, now the whole breakfast is ruined! OR well that was clumsy, let’s see what alternative meal I can come up with, challenge accepted.

Wake up with a headache: aw hell, this is a miserable start to the day, well, I’m sure it’s only gonna go downhill from here. OR Well, I guess I let myself get dehydrated. Drink some water, take some Excedrin, and lie back down for 15 minutes, and then on with my day.

You can train yourself to not wallow, and find that your mindset will change to be more positive, and/or less dramatic. Maybe not now, but every new setback is a new chance to try.

All that being said, sometimes I’ll just slam the bedroom door and lie down in bed and cuddle my cats for awhile.

Hang in there!

Without A Clue

Enjoyable take on Sherlock Holmes with Ben Kingsley as Watson, who is the real genius, but creates a character for his stories, and hires an actor to play Sherlock Holmes, played by Michael Cain. Never got the attention it should have, with two fabulous actors and a clever script, plus music by Henry Mancini.

It’s one of those movies that we watch again and again.

This is fabulous! Downloading and sharing this with others!

Which is one of the reasons cats and dogs hate each other — they speak completely different languages. Not just the belly example, but when a dog wags its tail, it’s friendly. When a cat waves its tail, watch out!

Cats and dogs raised together eventually work this out.

I remember someone saying that and how much it hurt. Because I feel if I know the answer, I am compelled to share it. I see it as a need on their side that I should fulfill. I am a “how can I fix it” mentality. But some people are complaining or speaking just to be heard. They want commiseration, not answers.

If it’s someone close to you, then speak about it — “I’m sorry, I thought you wanted an answer or suggestion, I feel I should provide if I can. Is that not what you’re looking for?”

If it’s someone else, whose opinion is not necessary, you can make a mental note to let them have their delusions, just maybe not with you around.

I thought I read somewhere that a lot of the streaming shows get cancelled after just 3 seasons because the residuals increase after that, or something about syndication?

The Guardian has excellent coverage and stories for the world and for US. I read stories about stuff going on here in America that I don’t see in other sources! Plus it’s not paywalled, although you should contribute or subscribe.

In the Texas, you can ask for “half and half” tea. You’ll get a mixture of sweet and unsweet iced tea. In a huge glass with plenty of ice. And free refills.

If you want hot tea, you need to ask for hot tea. Most places will bring you a couple selections of bagged tea and a too-small pot of not-hot-enough water. Hotel restaurants are known for bringing out a huge caddy of various tea bags for you to chose from. If you want milk/cream in your hot tea, you’ll have to ask for it, it’s not assumed.

Finally watched “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and it was very different from any other Oscar winner I’ve seen, very clever, and surprisingly moving.
