Physical therapy - i tell everyone to put ice in it and take Aleve for 3 days if it doesn’t interfere with your meds.
I have a friend that’s a doc. We’re not supposed to tell people because they will to spend all night talking to her about their medical problems.
It’s the same with plumbers, accountants, garage door repairers, mechanics, nurses, … everyone.
We all think, “why does everyone want my help for free?” but we’ve all asked someone with a skill for advice.
Probably the second (unless it’s something as common as trick or treat) as the implication may not hit me until later. You also have to judge the likelihood of follow thru- like when a kid get threatened with forever grounding.
I match your preferred timeline and wouldn’t change it. Happy that my childhood and young adult life is documented mostly by still photos with no backup.
Offered to take my adult kids to the beach -we will rent a pet-friendly house that’s big enough for everyone if you get your dog fixed before we go; we don’t want to be dealing with dog in heat at a beach house.
We booked the house. The dog did not get fixed. They came anyway but left a day early because…yep, the dog went into heat.
About an hour after they left, son called - “Wow! That immigration checkpoint was not as quick and easy as you described it!”
Apparently, standing on the side of the road with a pocketful of weed while your wife holds the dog and feds search your car can be unsettling.
“Sir, do you know why our dog alerted on your car?”
When I first came here, I was so jaded, with the expectation that every account was a bot or an asshole. Seeing the actual conversation among humans has been nice.
Sometimes it’s better to not know and just say thank you.
They’re all bad, but Firefox is terrible about this. Twice already in January I’ve had to make new passwords to pay bills. I was in my car when i did it and now i have no idea what those new passwords are. I’m so sick of letters, numbers, and special characters! No one is out there attempting to guess my gas company login password - they’re buying it from someone who hacked the gas company.
