You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you’re in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Swear to Satan it’s real At first sight, and it’s real
I didn’t know I would feel it
But it’s in my way
Yep. Knew it was wrong, but that’s what I heard. TIL what the actual lyrics are.
Yellow Ledbetter doesn’t count. It’s mumbled in recordings because the lyrics change over time to adapt to whatever conflict we’re currently wasting life on.
I honestly don’t think little kids understand what people mean when they say “be careful”. When my kids were younger, I’d say something like “be careful the sidewalk is icy!” and they’d just run full speed and slip on the ice.
I think kids just think “be careful” is just something nice you say like “good luck”.
Yours was definitely informative and I think partly because of your intentions but also because of the statement after about the danger that was there that they may not have been aware of.
The ones I’m referring to are the typical greetings where it’s just “be careful” or “drive safe”.
I know the intention is meant well but always still struck me as an odd way to greet someone.
I worked retail for exactly one Christmas. The day I worked the toy department they had one album on repeat for eight hours. I hated Christmas music for years, and now it just annoys me.
Its funny, I always felt Benny was more crocodiley than Crocodile Rock. Like that snappy piano riff at the beginning sounds like the musical/thematic equivalent of a crocodile with its mouth wide open snapping shut
Most posters are talking about what natural disasters they experience and less about preparedness, so I’m going to take the preparedness angle:
We have a go bag with medical supplies, very basic survival equipment, and non-perishable food.
We have enough non-perishable food at home for my wife and I for about 3 months
We have enough water for a week, and lifestraws to use local water supplies after that.
We have basic survival things like hand crank chargers/radios, solar batteries, thermal blankets, etc.
In the case of man made disaster (nuclear war) we have iodine pills.
My take on survival stuff is to be prepared but not be a prepper. Some folks take this way too far. I feel everyone who builds a bunker and has a years worth of food is going to have someone fall flat on their house and it won’t matter anyway. That being said, I want to have enough to comfortably survive a week-month, and then after that things would be so fucked that all bets are off anyway.
On #3 water filtration is often a very overlooked thing. I’ve got a Sawyer filter I set up inline with a hydration pack for when I go hiking. Water filters are so cheap and can have great shelf life, pretty much every one should have one.
I had braces in my teens but my orthodontist was an escaped nazi scientist who reveled in cruelty. I completed the course, but it gave me a phobia of dental work so I kinda… avoided dentists after.
Long story short: Invisalign and modern orthodontics is a world away from the 90s. No more mallets to hammer bands into teeth, no more night braces, etc. 3d models, computer aided treatment, it’s all like magic.
Do it, you’ll be happy you did. If you want more deets hit me up
My wife wants to try invisalign and we’re in our late 30s. She just wants to straighten her upper front teeth (slight overbite). Did your orthodontist say anything about expectations for adults and if there’s any difference?
Nope no difference! Other than adults can be more trusted to wear them (some kids take them out and don’t put em back in so generally kids get normal braces). He figures if an adult pays and doesn’t wear them, not his problem.
