#5. At 2 years old, the granddaughter grab the game console's remote control and started madly punching buttons. It was "off", so no one cared. My son's phone started beeping incessantly, indicating credit card charges. He grabbed the controller, and called the console company. Took the guy on the other end a few minutes to stop laughing as he was reversing the charges.
It's a source of continual amazement to me that people allow this sort of thing. Not the little girl, the parents who allowed the console company to keep their credit card information.
I always get a little frustrated when I go to buy something (amazon and ebay for instance) and have to add another step to delete my credit card information after I purchase something.
# 11. I'm not an olive eater, I will eat it if it's on pizza or in a bloody mary though. # 16. We would play twister after burning one or two, there was some seriously weird, funny, sexy times that would occasionally happen JD
#1 Easy... I bought the dip on VTI (Vanguard) and got some at $241.85/share. VTI is part of my long-term retirement plan and I was going to buy it anyway. I love seeing blood splatters all over the stock ticker, times of fear and panic selling are one of the the best times to buy. #17 is very out of date and AI plagiarism is trashing the art markets. Fortunately, those with money still seem to buy real art. #19 is the story of my life...
1: Trying to explain this to a family member: "You have investments, you must be freaking out right?" "Nope. Don't care." "But I saw the news, people are getting wiped out!" "Nobody's getting wiped out, and what did I just say? I don't care. This happened in 2020 with the lockdowns, this happened last time Trump was in office and went tariff crazy, this happened in 2008, and other times I can't remember off the top of my head. It'll come back like it does every time."
If I lived in a place as oppressive and miserable as the UK, I’d be perpetually drunk, too. Why don’t you get back to handing your island over to muslim immigrants and cutting your dinner with spoons because your government doesn’t allow you to own knives, and stop telling us Colonists how to live our lives.

#20: WEPPAWASHUNS = WELFAYAH... They owe us a HELL of a lot more than $4.7T!!!!
ReplyDeleteHell, they've stolen at least $4.7 trillion worth of bicycles in the last several decades. So that amount barely scratches the surface.
ReplyDelete#16: 50+ years ago my then girl friend and I used to play naked Twister but we combined it with with Scratch & Sniff to spice things up.

And the *very next day* it did.
That always works until it doesn't.
Delete#8 Still unflappable. You Americans should try it rather than losing your shit over a packet of ketchup.

DeleteI personally don't use ketchup that's in a packet, there's not enough in those so it's a total waste of time...

#12 We all pay/paid dearly
