Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
supposebly replied to Betweenyouandme's topic in Everything Else
My SAD gets better when the sun rises when I get up, so switching to Daylight savings year round would make things much worse for me. Evening sunlight wouldn't make it better other than making my insomnia worse. November to January is still dreary and I use an SAD lamp in the morning but that would extend with DST. Shortest days end of December have sunrise after 9am. -

Saskatchewan has no daylight savings time. So, I'm sure it's a myth that it had anything to do with farming. My dad was a farmer when it was implemented in Germany and he hated it. My uncle who had cows also wasn't a fan. I'm very happy to live in a place where it's not done. -

Wow!!! and Woohoo! Congratulations! This sounds incredible! Especially after such a long time being in the wrong place! I'm sure you'll be fine meeting with people 2 days per week. You might even enjoy it! Wishing you all the best for your new work life! -
I quit watching regularly at the end of season 10. It's on Amazon Prime, so I watched the seasons after that during the last few months. With my expectations lowered considerably, I kind of liked season 11 and 15. The rest is mostly awful. What I really didn't like: What the hell were they doing with the Michael possession? We have mean and scary battle-hardened Michael in leather coat and boots on the alternate earth and a dandy who struts around impeccably dressed in a beret. All he needed was a scene where he was getting a manicure. They seemed very different characters. Too. Much. Lucifer!!! I also never liked Mark Pellegrino but at least in season 5 he was scary. Jack's storylines were mostly boring and repetitive. I had to watch season 4 to get the taste of what they did or didn't do with Castiel over the years out of my brain. He used to be such an interesting character. The writing for Mary was mostly bad. She had very little to do with the character from "The Beginning" and that made no sense to me. It also seemed they were very lazy about writing around actor availability. I liked that they explored her being a person that had very little to do with the almost saint like mother figure Dean had created in his head. But they overdid it with the kept-hunting-stuff and Dean seemed to regress to his mid-20s self. I did like the part when he walked in her head. Billie as Death never made sense. She shows up, says some vaguely threatening things and disappears with very little to no follow-up and seemingly contradictory messages. Lather, rinse, repeat. What the hell was the point of her? I did feel season 15 ramped things up again a bit and it worked mostly ok for me. I liked what they did with God at the end although I thought it might have been more interesting to include Amara more. However, in my head canon, Chuck only became God in Fan Fiction. I hated how Rowena got killed over and over. That felt quite misogynist to me. I have no strong opinions about the end. It was fine, not great but, as I said, my expectations were quite low overall. If I had to rank the post Gamble seasons: 1. 11 Actually worked quite well for me. Mostly consistent with working up to Amara growing up. 2. 15 Not great but not annoying, confusing, or infuriating and just slightly boring. I loved Adam/Michael coming back. Although Adam forgave them way too easily. 3. 12/13/14 I find them all equally bad and I can barely remember which is which. They're mostly just boring, badly written, and lazily plotted. A lot of it feels like fanservice. 4. 8/9/10 Just infuriatingly terrible with the occasional decent episode in between. I started hating the writing for both Winchesters during that time. So, the completist in me finished the show with some distance. I didn't pay too much attention and that worked ok. But, overall, the show I fell in love with ended at the end of season 7. Everything after that seems like a lazier, cheaper, boring, nonsensical and often pointless copy.

Yup. Still hate this one.

After skipping this season usually and this episode especially, I sat down and watched to see if there was something else to take away from it. And while most of it doesn't change for me, I think Sam at the end does believe he can make that choice still, even though it was too late for Jack.

I'm so sorry, @Anela. This must have been so difficult. My condolences for your loss.

A friend gave me a humongous solid wood pepper grinder as a present about 10 years ago. I think it will outlive me.

I've been there and the pandemic made it worse. Therapy has helped. I find this channel quite useful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bS2LPNlO07s -

Not finding anything after I reorganize. I finally organized my various lids for various jar sizes last week and promptly couldn't find the one that I needed yesterday. Took me half an hour until I realized that it's the one I keep with the larger ones. -
Thanks for the tip. Sigh. Those cats sure cost me a lot of money. I don't mind, I'll spend whatever is needed. Just noticing.

I wonder if it helps with asthma as well? I have seen a YouTube video with a vet who claims fish oil and honey help with asthma. At least a bit. Asthma medication is essentially a steroid, i.e. an anti-inflammatory, right? While our training with the inhaler is getting better and she inhales at least 3-4 times out of the prescribed 10 times, I'm starting to think about what to do when I'm away. I spend 3 weeks in the summer in Germany to visit my parents and now I need to figure out how to get her to accept it from someone else. I'm still hoping she will not need it during the summer.

My bonded pair (7 and 4 years old) used to sleep together more but their previous co-beds have become a little small, so they don't it much anymore. Maybe I should get them a bigger bed. 😉

Overthinking and being overly critical of his romantic prospects sums up early Chandler Bing. So, yes, very funny.

Congratulations! So happy your job search is over! And with offers to choose from! This person teaches young students? I'm thinking you should report it. It's theft. -
If a guy got completely naked, I wouldn't feel harassed. Annoyed probably. Same with a woman who gets naked in an in inappropriate setting. Whipping your cock out however does feel more like harassment to me. Being completely naked implies some kind of vulnerability. Whipping your cock out feels like the proverbial flasher with the trench coat. Threatening.

Actually, I do that, especially in the winter where the ground is covered in snow and ice around here and I can't see the lines that delineate the parking spots. So, I think to myself, well, this person must have an idea where the spots actually are, so parking right beside them will give me the spot right beside them. -

Sounds to me like job C is your backup plan. Unless you want to think of the restaurant job as your backup. And that one is also easy to quit, isn't it? Not that I'm in your shoes, but accepting the offer for job C and spend that month looking sounds like the best option to me. But maybe wait at least until you hear from job A. Good luck with it all! -
I like my open concept apartment. But my only room mates are my cats and they don't like closed doors anyway. I am thinking of getting decent folding doors since they take up less space when open. I would prefer sliding doors but there is no room for that. The only time my doors get closed is when I have guests.

Did he just say, "all this Chandler Binging aside? Did I understand that right? I might have to watch this show.

If your show is basically based on a mystery that is spelled out at the beginning. Charlie: Guys, ....where are we? You need to have some sort of idea what the answer is. Or at least come up with one after your show gets picked up. Everything else is bullshit. I bailed on this show when I realized after about a season and a half that I would never get an interesting answer as to where that poor polar bear came from that they shot at the beginning. And from what I heard, those so-called answers that came trickling sometimes were either incredibly lame and/or made no sense. Been, there, done that, watched X-files and Alias. Didn't need to do something like that again. At least with Alias, I didn't actually expect it to make sense and just went along for the ride.

Oh no. I'm so sorry!

They look too pretty to eat.

????? What is THAT going to tell them? Btw., my clocks are set differently on purpose. Now that would throw them a curveball! 😄 But, invasive and NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS would be my choices for answers too.
