Like sure I do agree with you on that nature, the last time I ever used a cupon was a spell ago though, around five years ago, my friend who used to work there, once gave me a cupon book and just scan it for my drink though. (It is a long disbute of my ex and one of the workers, a big inferno.. I chose to keep a lid on it). Basically like scan me in for a soda though that is about it, I refused to cut coupons at a grocery store though.
 
You're supposed to bring them in after you cut them. You mean someone cut them out in the line? That's about as ridiculous as paying a balance of $23.67 all in pennies (an old lady in front of me did that once, long ago).

But screw digital coupons. I'm trying to ditch smartphones not get further entrenched into them. I refuse to live in a cashless society as well. Klaus Schwab can go frell himself.

Who is Klaus, the only Klaus I know is from American Dad...
 
Klaus Schwab, the leader of the World Economic Forum, and the author of 'Covid-19: The Great Reset' and present at just about every DAVOS convention.

When setting up for a date with my girl, she sometimes goes either in one direction or the other one though,hopefully she will be at the movies today, I wrote her a two page poem thing again the other day,took me five days to mentally understand what I just wrote with her though, dealing with someone that you deeply loved vanished from the earth, it is the most hardest thing that everyone does suffer from it though, but there are sometimes to move on.
 
Where I live, we don't see Spring until mid-April or early May. We often get 6 months of Winter, starting in late October.

I don't know how people up there in Alaska stand it--being 24/7/365 Winter.

Before my current car, I had a 1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. That car would NOT start one bit if the temps dropped below 28 degrees F. Back when that car was made, you had to opt for the special "Canadian-Spec" Fifth Avenue that was designed for cold weather starts--one such feature it had was a block heater.

It being so cold-natured ultimately pressured me to get rid of it. Well, that, and the fact it ate the insides of the front tires every 5K miles due to a fatal flaw in the transverse torsion bar suspension.
 
Yeah we lost power for five hours yesterday, there was an accident of 16 people up by the town's road, at my farmgrounds.. But my family is doing alright for the most part of it.
 
In 2009, we had an ice storm that did more damage than the January 2000 EF3 tornado that came through, and it knocked out the power to the rural areas (sadly including where I lived) for WEEKS. It was anarchy and chaos. Stores couldn't open because their registers relied on the internet and electricity, and while generators could get the electricity issue resolved, the internet infrastructure was GONE. There wasn't even cell service for a month afterwards. Landline was also gone, but came back a few days later. the only form of TV available to keep up with the news was ironically analog TV, since the digital part died along with the internet, and yet they still went ahead and killed analog TV despite all the people asking not to, and despite what would happen should another large storm knock everything out.

That's the sort of disaster that makes me glad I stick with vintage, because all those futurists who want everything in the cloud and use devices that need internet 24/7 will be left in the cold (literally) if something like that happened to them!
 
Ya know when you are coming to a close with your cold, and suddenly you feel wounded down, that type of feeling?
yeah what is really upsetting me right now,it is me, why I cannot fold up and mentally move on?
 
Right now, not knowing how to start a fire in our stove we have downstairs, it is one of those triangle shape for log burning..
Just how the heckler am I supposed to know how to catch a fire when I keep getting distracted?
 
Well after seeing my family puppy, played with him for a bit, he went outside for the second time, and got into a skunk. So after trying to clean him up for a bit, we went to internet and search for hydro proxide, and tomato juice, baking soda et all. Still the entire house still smells like it...
 
I still say if they stopped airing news about school shootings (including Columbine) there'd be none of these 'copycat' shootings that come after. You'd be surprised how many would-be serial killers take what's on the news as inspiration for similar crimes.

Heck, the world would probably benefit from going back to when News was just a headline and 'film at 11' was for the time the actual news would be on. Back when Walter Cronkite and Brad Byrd were doing the news. This whole 24/7 mess is unnecessary and causes more harm than good. Anyone who really needs to see or hear the news would be mature enough to wait until 11 PM to find out.

Nobody needs to hear doom and gloom 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with panic tickers crawling on the bottom. Who thought that was a good idea anyway?
 
No one thought it would of been such a great idea to teach us about sciopaths down the line, even mentaly derange people like who does school shootings too, honestly it is going to be so hard to swallow at the end of whatever it feels like so paranoid around us... I still keep away from "action" movies from time to time, in thinking on that top though.
 
In a way, when they make new rules or new security measures they're essentially letting the criminals win since that's what they really want. For us to live in fear and enact tons of unnecessary security measures (like school resource officers, the Patriot Act, and security cameras EVERYWHERE) and they don't do anything to stop the bad guys (who see it as nothing but a challenge) but make it hell to live as a normal, law abiding person.

Criminals want society to change because of their actions. It feeds their behavior. It doesn't stop them.

Think about it. TSA hasn't stopped plane hijackings or in-flight bombs, but sure makes it a headache to even board a plane legally.
 
Sometimes, but very rare I do something so stupid, like over dose on cold medication, the Alkasezier new cold medication, I accidently drunk a two liter bottle before heading to my side occupation, then a few minutes later on, I dropped in another tablet in a glass of water, wow.. I cannot tell you on how was it over there lol.. I was too tired lol. I am doing alright now lol.
 
A long, long time ago, I discovered that my great grandmother's 'Galvascon' heartburn tablets were quite tasty. Like candy in fact, sorta like SweetTarts and Bottlecaps mixed. I had downed half the bottle before my great grandfather caught me. I was fine, and definitely didn't have heartburn!
