 It might help if I actually make the coffee instead of just thinking about the coffee. ☕️ 
 Scrolling should recharge our phones.
Come on techies, get on this. 
 About to go for a neighbourhood walk, but noticed another person walking a block away, so had to postpone. 
 When you don't take the meds that are reserved specifically for those days that they're really really needed..
because they're hard on you..

and anyway, maybe just one more day and you won't need them..
plus they're really expensive..

and yes, you know now that you should have taken them yesterday, today absolutely..

but tomorrow for sure. 😕 
 I may have had too much to think last night. 
 My wife and I have identical phones, but I can easily tell them apart because mine is the one permanently attached to my hand. 
 I just feel like the days of people spending 20 or 30 years at one company are long gone. Most pe... 
 @2a70c54d Exactly. During a job interview a few years ago, I was asked where I saw myself in 10 years.

I was honest in my reply, suggesting that this was an unrealistic question these days, as it would unlikely be with them.. and especially at my age.

Essentially, if you can get the contributions of someone with my skills and experience for even a few years, you should take it and consider yourself fortunate. 
 Oldie But A Goodie Question!

You can have dinner with anyone no longer living, who is it and why? 
 @3fe52772 Possibly my younger self. 🤔
While his choices and experiences influenced my journey and therefore are part of me, that version of me no longer exists and memory of my thought process at the time are vague at best.

I'd be interested in finding out what the actual fuck? 
 When eating food is always a risk. 
 Do you ever suspect that your government representative is just 3 lobbyists in a trenchcoat? 🤔

 I'm not opposed to reposting my own stuff..

"Hey, did you see my post?" 
 nostr:npub1qzsyeedhs7uyp4mvz48mdh03ekxs6v7fajqurmy3mnachq0ufqyqaj9002 this is why I refuse to own... 
 @3409b63c My wife was ironing some things and asked if I wanted my shirt ironed.

When I said sure, she said "great, I've left the iron out for you."

Doh 🤦‍♂️ 
 I've somehow stopped time.
After ironing a shirt for 2 hours, the clock said only 5 minutes had passed. 
 You know, I don't express my appreciation of my social media friends enough, but know I tolerate you all very much. 
 While we shouldn't rely on others for our happiness, it is comforting to know those few special souls are out there that help. 
 When I first joined Twitter a lifetime ago, I only followed people in my own community.

Not sure when or how that changed, but along the way my idea of community changed and I'm glad and grateful that it did. 
An interesting journey that I've appreciated immensely.

That said, with the demise of angrybirdsite, I'd like to find a few more #yyc #ab #cdn friends again.
A little help would be appreciated. 😊 
 I found dark mode, but was actually looking for the dork mode setting.
