That's pretty much how it is for people nowadays. Most young people I know have no hope whatsoever of sick leave - they just rely on having a supervisor who won't fire them for taking time off work without pay, or who will send them home if they show up obviously feverish and contagious. Our society...

Phoebe

Oh ha ha it is always fun to return either to this thread or the drunken posting thread to get a review of one's life tape. I am almost never able to drink and my liver is old and weak and so... the joy of alcohol is limited to non-existent these days. I live like a monk with occasional samplings an...

Phoebe

Ah, congratulations! It is not possible that we have kids old enough to marry, is it? Yet how exciting! Glad they were able to celebrate in scenic locale.

Phoebe

Voices of Fire - reality Show on Netflix where Pharrell Williams' uncle and others put together a large gospel choir. This is a reality singing show, but seems to be more real than the genre usually is - it's kind of like the early rounds of people auditioning for American Idol but with less staged ...

Phoebe

I do not have it in me right now to watch the videos but am told that the aid drops (US plus other countries) are predictably causing chaos even as they are desperately needed, because people are struggling to get at these things... fill in blanks as expected. It makes me ill that this is the best h...

Phoebe

This song has been out for decades and I could never place where I had heard it... I kept coming across samples or remixes but couldn't name the original. It's pretty catchy! Finally located:

Phoebe

Update: not only did they put this freak in charge of some kind of education decisions in Oklahoma, but a journalist interviewed her and she turns out to be one of those inexplicable Jewish people who loves great replacement theory and the neo nazis who promote it. I don't know if she grasps that th...

Phoebe

I read this the other day when I didn't have time to type a reply but I've been thinking about it. I don't disagree with you that it's a travesty of human rights violation that has to stop immediately. But I would say my skepticism about anything we hear is very high, and I find it useful to apply t...

Phoebe

Spotify is improving my life. I'm sure I'm spending a couple dollars a year to support something b******* but I don't know of any other service that is going to get this job done better and it is a significant life improvement to have music and be able to shape the contents. I no longer have to list...

Phoebe

That's exciting, wow! You will have to give an update on how that turns out. Apparently small hives are proliferating and becoming a more common hobby.

Phoebe

This is amazing, yes. I want to read that book. I want to know about the bad decisions. The thing about decisions: luck and chance are still powerful factors. But does the lack of wisdom mean that in a sense you deliberately choose the unwise path? Or are you merely throwing yourself onto the mercie...

Phoebe

Love Deadline I am trying to get people interested in watching Ted Lasso with me or a number of other programs that have been mentioned above in this thread. But nobody has coincident TV watching times or interests available, and I have been putting on a show to help me through the tasks of dishwash...

Phoebe

Miss Julie I clicked on this because "period piece with Colin Farrell and red haired woman who is always in the Oscars somewhere". Not unreasonable of me to hope! Oh yes, I said, this movie is based on some kind of Scandinavian play. Not Ingmar Bergman... Those were movies too! Some earlie...

Phoebe

Love is Blind: Sweden: The Reunion If you've been tricked or forced into watching any of these absurd programs, you know they love to have a messy, dramatic reunion episode after the normal.arc ends. Well. I have never. I usually hate these and skip or skim but in THIS case, you know I wasn't about ...

Phoebe

I refuse your analysis! No. Won't accept. You're here, you're doing the thing. Good enough!

Phoebe

Hello, I'm here to let you know this is what the kids are listening to (presented WITHOUT COMMENT): https://youtu.be/fzAyZ1Lh-zI?feature=shared I'm still on "main dish" up there... Still finding it as fresh and delightful as ever. I like my money blue, no Bitcoin! His mating call is just t...

Phoebe

Dusty Slay This is a Netflix comedy special I stumbled across randomly: I literally sat on the remote accidentally with my butt while I was in the Netflix landing screen and talking to my daughter, and this show started playing. I guess a higher power was looking out for me because a kind of needed ...

Phoebe

Griselda The show was very popular on Netflix, which does not always bode well. Yet my husband, eagerly seeking a show that I would have no interest whatsoever in watching, thought he would give it a whirl. I came to awareness of it somewhere in episode 2. In general I think the idea is that this wo...

Phoebe

#$&&$#$?!!
That's obscene. One of my parents has a $1,400 medicine. Nothing you could do because of exactly the same thing: a time release mechanism the generic does not have.
For some reason it's important to us here to let people pay whatever can be extracted from them.

Phoebe

Spotify has its limitations! As I was listening to a playlist and this song came up, I discovered they think the following lyric: "The more I give you, the more you want" Is instead: "The more I grease you, the smaller you get" Lollll I don't know man, maybe in some iteration of ...

Phoebe

Also jealous, also never picked. *sobs*

Phoebe

It's 36° and there's all kind of melted water visible on the lake and yet they are ice fishing. And I'm just saying... I will call the ambulance but I don't have a rope to throw you and even if I did I don't want to fall in myself. So... Good luck and MAGA

No: My bad it's actually 38°

Phoebe

Occasionally when feeling down, particularly about the bleak future of my working life, I remind myself that I don't live in Oklahoma. Today is one of those days, because I gather the head of the education department had to put someone on a committee that oversees things like library content in the ...

Phoebe

Boo to shitty days! Do something nice for yourself!

Phoebe

Was pleased to find myself a few extra minutes to pop by the grocery store... Quickly took advantage... Got to the entrance door and discovered I am wearing matched fleece sweatsuit (aka wintry pajama) and my "MURICA" socks that are sticking out quite visibly below. Note to check self in t...

Phoebe

Hehhh, they were not prepared. I never hear this on the radio anymore - I need to add some of their stuff into my playlists. I was just listening to this one in the car - I remember the first time I ever heard it, based on a recommendation somewhere. I didn't really know what to expect and the intro...

Phoebe

Cannot get past this - it's just so good. Revolutionary in its day AND today:

Phoebe

Nothing about this is good but there was one small ray of hope: at least a significant chunk of the Israeli public now appears to see the return of the hostages as incompatible with Netanyahu's military goals. If they see the campaign as an obstacle to getting the hostages back maybe we will see som...

Phoebe

How happy can I be that it's not going to be DeSantis when it looks like Haley has such an uphill climb, and then we would have to get Haley??
But dude... anything! anything anything anything they have to do to get past this current situation with Trump.

Phoebe

Okay I need this and I'm definitely need the Belgian sci-fi.

Phoebe

How dare you! That coat is probably the reason - he was attracted to the coat!

Phoebe

The video for this song has not made me like it more, unfortunately, but this is what I do my car dancing to lately - when you need to bounce your butt around to stay warm in the car and you need some good music for the task:

Phoebe

Pardon me, people at the grocery store and the coffee shop, but my child is 16 and requires specific parenting methods based on her personality. I'm well versed in this child's ways. This is the type of child with whom you cannot have a contest of wills because you are going to lose. Stalin would lo...

Phoebe

Love is Blind: Sweden New episodes. Most everyone is sunburned at an immediate skin cancer threat level. Nevertheless, Christofer is a little ray of beautiful sunshine and his woman partner looks from my perspective Exactly like a large Gregor-type insect, and it cannot be unseen. Her personality, s...

Phoebe

I've literally never heard of dismissal due to heavy rain, That's wild! I've heard of school being let out because of an impending possible tornado storm but more often than not they lock it down even longer in those situations. I've had enough of school being canceled due to snow, thanks. I can pra...

Phoebe

I've been working so hard on the damn fitness thing and unfortunately as you get old, the body gets fragile. Somehow I injured my arm and it's just been two weeks of excruciating pain up and down. Yet I don't think it's injured in a way that should completely stop what I'm doing. It's a mess... It's...

Phoebe

Iowa caucus points of interest: It's a very small slice of the Iowa electorate! Crazy that it's given so much importance by pundits despite this fact. And despite the bad weather, roughly half of those voters were retirement age, reflecting the overall R/D divide that continues to be old versus youn...

Phoebe

Okay I finally have a show I can recommend to everyone here (besides the last several seasons of Gold Rush but not the first several seasons!): The Insurrectionist Next Door. Nancy Pelosi's daughter made this film, which does not require a lengthy time investment to watch. Essentially she interviews...

Phoebe

A game involving an advanced evolution of bees? I vote yes.

Phoebe

Chris, at mas. No good new games besides an expansion of Catan, but then we all decided to play cards and Axis & Allies instead. Scratch that: two of us decided to play A&A and the others were worn down into joining but hated it. Sigh. I decided I hated the home decor game just as I was give...

Phoebe

Miracle: we are OUT, fresh out, of new Gold Rush episodes. There's going to be an issue depending on what is next chosen. I will burn down the whole city if I have to hear or see any spinoff of this show. Meanwhile, on the idiotic reality show I would NEVER inflict on anyone else, turns out Catja is...

Phoebe

Can't win for losing. I finally genuinely like the Gold Rush show in its final season, but I switched it off while cooking and a horrible thing presented itself suddenly as a substitute: "Love is Blind: Sweden" Nothing is ever really going to compare to Love Is blind Japan - The premise of...

Phoebe

Oh that was a very relaxing mix of songs - led to much youtube video hopping among the Mills Brothers as well. This is like the triple crown victor of pregnancy announcements. I wish things like this had existed when I was in the end months of pregnancies and pretty much resigned to wearing a bedshe...

Phoebe

Update: All of the suspicions about Rick being a drug addicts proved to be true. Apparently one of the superpowers my spouse has is identifying drug addictions with keen specificity about the drugs preferred. Anyway, Rick is worse for wear but on the mend now (update #2: no. He's still waist deep in...

Phoebe

Pretend for a moment that Trump didn't want to be president again and was trying to lose the primary by saying the most outrageous possible things that would surely make people turn to the next alternative. How would that be different? Yet here we are. Is there any freaking hope for Nikki Haley? I s...

Phoebe

Spotify audiobooks remains a delightful untouched ground... I hope soon to investigate it.

Phoebe

It disturbs me how prescient! I've never seen the show, just going on the book. My mom and I once read through every one of her books that was in the library. Great experience. I remember when people thought it was really exaggerated science fiction, kind of like Brave New World or 1984. Lol. I've b...

Phoebe

I appreciate the list because I want to read some of these. I bought three new books and I don't know how I'm ever going to get through the pile until June but we will see. I've been reading House of the seven gables and again, It requires reading a bunch of historical contexts so it's slow going. I...

Phoebe

All right we're on season 92 of Gold Rush at this point and I don't know if this is one of those Stockholm syndrome situations or some other kind of psychological mechanism at work, but I finally decided that I like the show. Somebody must have told the narrator to calm the hell down so we are getti...

Phoebe

I can't explain to you why I like this music. Well, I can: It started off with a beat I liked and then he started going off and when he reached the word "garnishes" I was dead on the floor laughing. It was an uncomfortable situation as I was trying to drive the car and it was just all so m...
