That’s exactly how I’m thinking about it.

I understand your reasoning. I choose to think of March as NOT FEBRUARY so I like it flaws & all. πŸ€”

β€œWhy are you crying? It’s just a kid’s movie.”

Despite all that’s happening in our world I like the month of March and won’t let *things* stop me from enjoying it. To wit I’m doing Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day Challenge over on Instagram. Curious aren’t you? See β€˜ya there!

No surprise, uh?

I’m sorry. I’ve had the same thing happen to me. Lazy cruel kids are everywhere, in childhood and in adulthood, and it sucks.

I remember having a pair of them. Do not [I repeat DO NOT] ignore any indication that you might need to pee b/c time is of the essence. Unbuttoning those jeans takes forever. Tragedies happen. 😳

Ours are the same way.

I wondered about that idea too. Maybe it helps but not sure I want any AI to know what I’m stuck on. I’ll figure it out on my own.

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day notes or emails to loved ones, using AI to write leaves people feeling crummy about themselves When you outsource romance, there’s a hidden emotional cost.

Damn straight you should feel crummy. Send me an AI ghostwritten Valentine, get human written out of my will. 🀨

Your story reminds me of a Peanuts comic strip in which Sally is sent home from school with a note from her teacher. Sally is failing *water fountain* and her parents need to know. The simplest things can trip you up.

Hear, hear. All good beans must stick together.

Series > movie. Always. Series allow you to understand/reflect/discuss. Movies are what the director wants you to feel.

That much snow is too much. 😳

The snow has *finally* arrived here. No sunshine to be seen outside, just muted shades of white & gray & brown. Relaxing actually. It’ll be a quiet day at home for us. ❄️

Cannot not stop thinking about this.

Oh well. Onward go I. Happy Saturday.

I don’t mind no snow mind you, but my day is based on it happening as predicted. Feeling like I might have been pawned. πŸ˜‰

Me too. β€œThey” said it’d start at noon. It’s 12:01 pm and NARY A FLAKE. False advertising?

Thanks for explaining. Makes sense now.

What does β€œquote skeet” mean? I see what you’ve shared but don’t know that… term… slang… whatever? I, of course, would have the same gif.

You don’t sound ungrateful to me, just organized & truthful.

Good choice. Mine is BALANCED. Hoping to remember it as the world teeters on the brink.
