Y’all remember that dog back in august that the city dug up the street to rescue? That was my neighbor’s dog. That got out two days before. Who had to sleep outside because they didn’t let her sleep inside. So.
Never lived in a place without seasons. Did live without daylight savings time and didn’t miss it for a second. I’m pretty sure I’d not miss winter, spring and fall are overrated, and summer heat is much more bearable to me than winter cold.
Texas has seasons, it’s just they’re mostly summer. The heat takes as much to adapt and work through as the cold unfortunately. Extremes of either are garbage.
The area of California that I'm in gets too damn cold, too damn hot and the number of nice days are too damn small. It's been mid 40's and rainy for a while now. Fucking miserable. I truly don't know how you unfortunate people in the snow deal with it.
From living on the sweaty gulf coastline to this, I prefer this. Once you get clothes and equipment to live, it isn't so bad. I kind of like shoveling snow a bit. I like doing yardwork and gives me some activity in the off season. Only complaint is that duck care is more challenging, gotta use the heated bucket and do work arounds on the hose. I was disappointed with this heat this past summer though. Dry, yes. But at like 118F and no shade or cloud cover, you gotta stay inside for safety.
FUCK DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. Seriously, does ANYONE have ANYTHING good to say about it? And I don't want to hear that same bullshit line: "Acshully, Bandit, it saves energy!" It's all because fucking morning-people don't want to go to work in the dark. By the time I get home from work, it's already dark, and I have to work on cars with a goddam flashlight.
Daylight savings time has as much use as the penny, and almost as annoying. We got rid of the latter, but we can’t get rid of the former because of New York assholes. Let it the fuck GO.
It would seem that you do, considering that the time of year where it gets dark earlier is regular time, where the sun is roughly at its highest point at noon. The problem with getting rid of daylight savings time is that everyone prefers DST over regular time and wants to switch to that permanently. A better solution would be for society to just shift what we consider the workday by an hour, but I guess it's easier to just force everyone to lie about what time it is instead.
An old coworker of mine posted the first closeup face shot I've seen of her in over a decade. She was always a really beautiful girl - that sweet, wholesome, all-American freckled prettiness. Apparently she decided to Botox herself to death or something. She doesn't have a wrinkle or a frown/smile line anywhere despite being in her late-30s, but looks like later-years Joan Rivers. Duck lips, oddly changed cheek shape (are cheek injections a thing?), and her face doesn't move when she smiles. It makes her look so much older. I've got a couple friends who got a boob job after having a kid or whatever (one who had A-cups when I knew her in college and now sports DDs) but this is the first girl who is borderline-unrecognizable. Yikes.
Cheek injections are a thing. I would never do them because I’d look like maleficent, but lots of people do them. it’s a weird line to toe, injectables. The threshold is hard to define but very obvious once crossed. I’m all for Botox/injectables/etc but I’m also for not chasing two decades backward.
Yeah, I don't have any objection to people doing what makes them feel good, but man does it look bad when people push it too far. Seems even worse when it gets pushed too far by someone who isn't even 40. I always wondered if people who stopped chasing this would go back to normal, or if these changes are permanent and need to be kept up.
The lip injection/duck lips has not improved. I guess you have to break some eggs to eventually get an omelet but it just nowhere near there yet. My girl sometimes wears lip gloss with capsaicin in it to puff up her lips o_0. They have done a great job with breast implants. Whitney Cummings was talking about how they had her standing up arms out like Jesus to get the "hang" right when she got hers.
If the lips are done wrong they look awful and it’s usually the injector’s placement. that ish never worked for me and was always so uncomfortable. I don’t regret my lips being done for a minute, except when that lady from Southlake got a lil poke happy. I love the outcome now though. Implants are a special peeve of mine. Surgeons need to be more scrupulous in their work. Mine aren’t for augmentation, they’re reconstruction and so they sit differently.
I worked for a doctor who did Botox and lip injections as well as general practice. He was pretty good at it and many times would talk someone down from having too much done, even though it meant less money for him. I couldn't believe the people that came in for it that were in their 20's and 30's. If they asked me if I thought they needed "some work done here" I always told them "no". Occasionally you'd have the idiot who wanted their lips to resemble a baboon's ass, and he'd do it. They looked ridiculous. If something is done right, you won't know it was done. It's been years but I can still pick out a bad Botox job now and then.
I thought it was done so the kids didn't have to wait for the school bus i the dark. Think of the children!
