I think it's mathematical.

At four, a year is 1/4 of your life. At 40, it's 1/40. So, yeah, faster.

 

I just got a fun code mint!

[trystan]

pfft, maths.

 

ooh nice code!  reminds me of Damh the Bard!

[Lagie]

Hunh. Never heard of him.

[trystan]

i have On Midwinter's Day on my Yule playlist

[Lagie]

 

I don't know how to use this 2500 channel device... good thing it was left on MSNBC.

[trystan]

2500 channels? 

we're watching Rachel and i'm having a good laugh at the way she's presenting some of this malarkey. 

[Lagie]

I love how she presents stuff, esp. the malarkey.

 

And yup, 2500, says the person I'm house sitting for. US ones, UK ones, even German ones! If I could just figure out how the system works.

[trystan]

oh wow.

all i want in my US cable package is CBC and CTV  

[AsymDoll13]

I just watch a lot of Youtube. Too much youtube. 

 

Thanks for the hug, Lagie!

that it does.

when i was a kid, adults told me that when i got older time would go faster.  i'm not sure i believed them when i was a kid, but over the last like 10 years, i've learned it really it true!

The trick is to stop thinking about what you need to get done. Think about having a best friend unicorn instead.

I know, right? Too many choices means I'm probably not even going to turn the durned thing on except for Rachel at 9.

(You watch Canadian channels? Cool!)

 

Good morning, CPA!

Bright and sunny. This house is sooo nicely quiet.

I don't even bother with tv. I use Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Disney plus (I only pay for Netflix though)

[Lagie]

Hulu's not available here. And you need internet for all those, and I have no internet at home.

Fair enough. I just got tired of cable charging me out the wazoo and there was nothing really on and I get 200 channels, but it's all the same crap lol.

we have actual cable and Netflix... and Disney+ (younger daughter signed us up for that.)  younger daughter has Hulu and Prime Video, i've used her Hulu account for one of the shows i watch.   and uhm, that bit that i ought to not mention.

[AsymDoll13]

I'm super far behind on naming my dragons. lol

Another four-digit day, and lots more donations in, but I managed to clear some lingering unpriced stuff, and the back sorting table is infinitely more tidy than when I got to it. A meltdown about an hour in was kind of adkward but I actually had a volunteer who could do cash today, so I was able to retreat to my desk while I had my tea and composed myself.

[Long_Before_Sunrise]

*ahem* I cleared your calendar and you're still working?

[Lagie]

I am, yes. It's $3,000/day to run our shelter. We need every penny I can pull in through the shop.

[Long_Before_Sunrise]

Why can't you be lazy, self-serving, and indulgent like other people?

I don't seem to be wired like that, unfortunately.

[Long_Before_Sunrise]

I'm sure it's in you...somewhere.

 

Mine.

Good morning, CPA!

I am sleeping well in this house. I really am more of a 'dog-on-the-bed' person.

[IzzyCat91]
