So, you know how it's common folk wisdom that anybody who's working for tips or selling something isn't actually flirting with you, they're just trying to make their money?

What's the explanation for Trader Joe's employees?
Me: Yeah, so she was like, "the universe has bonded us together since the beginning, and we have a love that will surpass time" and then she never talked me again after that.
Them: Rayne, you talk about your exes way too much
Me: No, this was the cashier at Trader Joe's

It is I, the #OutsideGirl! And today I have received double jabs, both for The Rona and the seasonal flu. Go get your jabs if you can kids, even if it's expensive these strains are rough and you don't want to get sick for weeks and weeks!

Eis kratzen war gestern. Warum das #Elektroauto im Winter gewinnt:
✅ Sofort warm: Elektrische Heizer liefern warme Luft innerhalb von Sekunden, nicht erst nach 5 km Fahrt.
✅ Legal & Leise: Vorheizen ohne Abgase und Lärmbelästigung für die Nachbarn.
✅ Sicherheit: Freie Sicht von der ersten Sekunde an, statt Blindflug mit beschlagenen Scheiben.

wir würden der Fahrerin empfehlen ihre Klimaanlage warten zu lassen. Die muss regelmäßig wieder befüllt werden. Ansonsten lässt die Heiz- / Kühlleistung enorm nach.
Zum entfrosten bzw. aufwärmen zu Beginn der Fahrt kann man das Fahrzeug auch noch eingesteckt lassen, falls es mit der Reichweite tatsächlich knapp wird.
Dann hat man auch genügend Zeit sich im Fahrzeug einzurichten, das Smartphone zu pairen (wenn gewünscht), etc.
Point positif, plus besoin de visa a priori désormais. Et donc plus de besoin de faire un dossier long comme le bras et payer plus d'une centaine d'euros.
Point négatif (among other things) : quasi obligation d'un smartphone avec une app de paiement sans contact. Le paiement liquide semble avoir quasiment disparu du pays 🫠

My nephew got a free book a month after he was born through Some Library Scheme. Before this, my older sister had not realised reading to babies is important and valuable.
Sister K was not a functional parent for Reasons but she did enjoy reading to Nephew and in her more functional moments, she reads a lot herself - always has done (confuses the F out of social workers!). One of K's local libraries knows K and look out for her as she reads there during her better times.

Watch us wrestle with filthy punchlines. Wash our hands from the soot and grime we've collected by tireless hours of drawing. Dry our tears when we've given up all hope of ever seeing the sky again! But we're happy to do it. We'd do anything for a joke.
