Most calls I get are spam, fruad or potentially dangerous so I do record a voicemail but I mirror my carrier default, just "You have reached the voice mail of phone # . I am unable to answer your call right now, please leave your message.
yes. I have this botepad on the fridge whenever I notice something is needed I write it down and when I go to the store I just grab that list, anything I didn’t/couldn’t get I try to write back down. I tend to forget to get the list so I half wing usually to poor results
I dont know of any easy fixes, unfortunately. Noise canceling headphones, and friend(s) to hangout with can help reduce stress of fireworks and manage an obligatory party. At the very least trying to find the quietest corner and finding something to zone into, music, a game etc. For me even without noise canceling headphones, listening to music I enjoy on my headphones even in semi chaotic places helps a little.
Obligatory family gathering might not have any of those options though. Best of luck.
I think it depends on what parts of “getting into a new year” your having challenges with. For me, a new year just mean changing what year I date things, need to rember to write 2026 now instead of 2025. But so is remembering the change of month, or day.
Of course a new year can bring different challenges to everyone.
yeah took me a bit I though the tub was supposed to be oddly shaped, like a funnel or something, then I noticed the water stream.
The waterflow out of the faucet…instead of just going separately they converge…
I see the @adamtots in one panel, probably a good place to look, busy atm otherwise I would.
Thats a really good idea, easy to clean and easy to seal so nothing falls out. Thank you
2 problems with a mixing bowl, its not as easy and its more work to clean. These where a go to for me for quick easy, and cleanup meals for the family.
the bag had little chance for mess, the bowl is more cleanup and higher chance for mess, maybe its not a “huge” thing but its not nothing and breaks the convenience of them.
Put the porkchops or chicken [$5/lbs] in the bag with the seasoning crumbs [$1] shake, put in air fryer, microwave a some veggies[$1.25] serve on paper plates and I had a low cost, quick, no clean up meal for my family.
Having to use something else adds cost, in money, time or energy, all of which I have nowhere enough of
yeah. It wasn’t clear in my comment but I wasn’t trying to say they where put down just for seceding (Though to Lincoln it was a way more important thing than slavery) but that they are the most notable case of states leaving the union and they got beat the shit out of, two separate things.
while no explicit mention of secession, the very act of the revolution and statements such as “…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” and "…When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…"have been used to show the idea the founding fathers supported secession.
Only a handful of times has anyone in the U.S.A. seceded, though most of the times it was just to create a new states in the U.S.A. It was officially outlawed after the C.S.A. seceded and not much of any serious attempt has been made since.
People in the U.S.A. forget that “state” means a sovereign nation. Why are the “United States” not actually states? Taxes. Actually thats basically it. After what would be known as U.S.A. was founded, taxes where opt in. but the burgeoning central government was on the hook for all its international debts. and of course no state wanted to pay taxes…or did pay taxes. So they restructured and the “federal” goverment became superior to all states and its power has grown while states rights diminished. So yeah, in some ways wed be alot better if states where thier own sovereignty, and the founding fathers even put a stipulation that any state unhappy with the union can leave, but the last states to do that got the **** beat out of them and it was made illegal (CSA / Civil war).
TLDR; Founding states didn’t want to pay taxes, federal government was formed to collect taxes.
what next giving children dihydrogen monoxide?
Once you remember you can die because of sonic hedgehog genes, you know scientists are the same jokers with degrees.
Bonus, you join army, army breaks you, tries to sweep it away but eventually your children get survivor benefits.
and fun fact, Some veterans can get free mental asylum and cremation. (My mom tells us when she’s over the hill, hand her to the va, they’ll stick her in a ward till she dies and then cremate her so we don’t have to worry) (My dads running plan is to work till he dies at his desk, then the army will bury him for free too)
Had a church ask us what brought us to the church. The cafe, popularity of the pastor, social meida advert, etc. We said to worshih god,
it was not on thier list as a reason to go to church
I work as an educator for educators, its our responsibility to teach them everything they need to know. We commonly fail when associates dont ask questions when they dont know. Its nigh impossible to teach everything in general.
What im trying to say is, hardly anyone can simply teach you everything you should know. Where does one start teaching? Look both ways before you cross the street? Dont trust the internet? There is so much knowledge to be learned and its hard to gauge what someone else may or may not know and what specificly they need to learn. It also depends on personal context what information is relevant to you. Street smarts for NY is different than LA, from suburbs to rural.
The most important thing is to ask specific questions when you are unsure. Your on the right track, best of luck. and for most things in society there is hardly one empiricaly “correct” answer.
Its tough but dor everything that you encounter that you are not sure about, what it means or so, ask, research. Its tough and skow goinf but thats how you learn. It takes a lifetime to learn and a lifetime to overcome bad learning.
Just read about him wanting to end the “filibuster rule” (de facto needing 3/5 or 60/100 to pass measures) to end the shutdown, im guessing thats what this article is referring to.
Thoguht so. Best of luck going foward.
A U.S. veteran I know had a joint training in the 90’s with isreali soldiers. They talked, alot in common as junior enlisted. This kid (20 or so) had a crisis, he grew up being told all this (propaganda) but during a patrol they where interrogating (or arresting, I forget granular details) someone, his OIC was demanding information and threatened to shot the mans kid if he didn’t. The man aqueciced but this soldier became disillusioned, he questioned if he would have been orderd to shoot a child had the man not aqueciced. He realized more reality of the situation…
It has been this way for some decades. Wars have been fought over it, it was never a secret, just propaganda pushed to the public to distract from the truth. Many, if not most Americans drank the kool aid, and still do, accepting propaganda agianst truth.
