Just because they're related to you doesn't mean that you have to spend time with them, though. I haven't seen my brother in person in over 35 years. I saw him briefly on a zoom call when my aunt passed away, but didn't talk to him.

I'm a little face blind, so I understand how awkward that can be. I've spent decades learning how to figure out who people are when I don't recognize their faces. It was awful when I had a student cut his hair and I recognized him by voice. I had to say, "Sorry, I'm not wearing my glasses."

I agree, but there are all kinds of people out there. I'm happy if I have enough money to pay my bills with some left over, and I don't feel any great need for people to recognize me on the street. I think I'd prefer it if they don't.

You can make money, and there are people who like fame.

“Multiple exclamation marks,' he went on, shaking his head, 'are a sure sign of a diseased mind.” ― Terry Pratchett, Eric

That's like my pet peeve of people opening a package of whatever and leaving the top part of the package lying on the counter. The garbage can is right there.

If you have to be stoned to find something funny, it's not funny.

As long as you're taking care of yourself and are happy, it's no one else's business what career you choose.

Keep in mind that I'm not a doctor. ;)

I could just be metabolism change due to getting older. This can happen at several stages in your life. If you're coming out of youth and you've stopped growing, that can do it. If you're just getting a bit older, your metabolism is slowing down, and that can do it. There is a...

I have a Pixel 5. I want to upgrade to something that either has a micro SD slot or has more storage space.

With today's phones I often have to use both hands to do a lot of things that people usually do with one hand. I just don't have the reach to hold the phone in one hand and be able to reach the entire screen with a thumb. I had a similar problem with motorcycle gloves. I would buy extra...

Why on earth to they make all of the yard tools so dang hard to use for people with small hands? Is it so hard to maybe sell an adapter kit for larger or smaller than average people? I got the Ryobi One+ string trimmer and the battery. The battery is supposed to disengage with one hand...

I remember when you were going through that. I think the dog was to help you with emotional support, and I think he's been that for you. 🫂

If you need someone who's been through something similar, let me know. Five years ago I lost the friend that I'd lived with for over 20 years. He got "the flu" and a week later, I'm telling him to call his doctor and nagging him. By the time he finally went in, he went straight to emergency...

Install NoScript as well. It is a pain to figure out which sites need to run scripts sometimes, but if you can figure out which sites are running the scripts to check for your ad blocker and block those, then you don't have a lot of the "You're running an ad blocker" problems.

Be sure to check to see which apps will get blocked by the Great Firewall of China.

Did you know that Hua Wei and Blu phones were coming with malware that uploaded everything on them to servers in China? I think they cleaned them up, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just made the malware sneakier...

Pixel 5. I'd like a new phone, but I have other things that I need to spend money on that are more important.

128GB. The newer pixels come with more storage, but it's nice to have a 256GB micro SD with all of my music that I can just pull from my old phone and slot into the new one. The Pixels don't have MicroSD slots. I have a lot more music than is on my phone, but I've pared down my music...
