Was at the San Francisco Public Library with da hubs, checking out DVDs/CDs, and on our way out saw a flyer for IIRC “Celluloid San Francisco” a presentation by the author of a new book about movies made here.

We figured “Why Not?” Walked in and was entertained for about an hour by a very personable speaker and tons of SF film facts!

Then they unexpectedly ushered the lot of us across the hall to a catered buffet lunch, meet and greet, and book signing (none of which was mentioned on the flyer).

We also went in slightly less higher than god…

So we proceeded to stuff our faces from a delicious buffet, chat up the author and thank him for an amazing presentation, and then left around 2:30 not having paid a penny for anything.

“Thank you for reaching out! I really appreciate the gesture. However I’m very happy to inform you that I’m living a carefully considered and crafted life that I truly enjoy, and wouldn’t change a thing about it. So just mark me down as a ‘Happy Nomad’ and we’re all set! Oh, no thank you. Please save your paperwork / handouts for someone that truly needs your help. Thank you again for stopping by…”

Acknowledged their time, update their records, refuse to waste paper, and show them the door with thank you.

I love walking on foggy beaches! So serene, yet ethereal.

I read that last election he started campaigning the day after he lost. He’ll do the same thing this time just to keep the grift going.

Plus he’s had how many delays handed to him because he’s a political candidate? He’ll probably pass away as a political candidate just to keep those two things in his grasp.

Drugs: Never mentioned. There were anti-drug ads on TV 24/7.

Sex: Never mentioned. Well, by the time they got around to having “the talk” we asked them if they needed to know anything. Mom laughed, dad looked embarrassed, and that was that.

Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.

You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!

We’re talking about glue not craft paste. One can be launched across the room at an unsuspecting teacher, the other taste fantastic.

CRAB!

My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.

You know what they do with the legs, yeah?

If your parents are struggling to make ends meet at 77 then continue pressing the point and let them know why.

If they’re not let to go.

You’re good with tech and know they can save some money. If they don’t care about tech, and aren’t hurting for money, you’re just being annoying.

Had the same convo with my mom. That’s where the annoying line came from! She likes what she has and can afford it.

Now my sister ima boot in the head because she cancelled my mom’s landline for a cheaper cell plan. So now, oh…about 80% of the time I try to call mom her phone rings right into voicemail because she forgot to plug it in!

While you’re there make damn sure they create a coherent naming scheme that allows upgrade paths/versioning.

All vehicles have an auto-sensor that detects when the steering mechanism is turned past a certain point and activates the fucking turn signal. Deactivates it once the steering mechanism returns past that point.

If I saw that IRL I’d suddenly have something to do inside. Taxes, maybe a root canal…

Oh…

Sorry.

That’s oddly specific, but I’m glad you all made it home safely!

Hell yes! We Americans are raised believing that we’re exceptional. That led to Trump. (It’s being used to propagate lies/misinformation.)

Dig into any discussion you want. Be prepared to learn, but call out lies when to see them. Thanks!

Did you reply to the wrong post, or maybe super high?

The cruise sounds like a hell of a good time, but your reply has zero to do with Bees v Lions. 🤓

There you go proving that “Fun Facts” seldom are.

Astrum is in of my favs! The other is History of the Universe.
