I actually forged a QR code to represent that I'd been cleared by a doctor to fly from country to another. I had noticed the airline personnel didn't scan the QR, they just looked to see it was visible and the flight information matched the flight that was being boarded. Many of the university students I shared public transport with would only don our face masks when the mask police insisted...

It's hard to tell about cats, but dogs are certainly proud of a good dump. Now that I'm old I share the feeling. A good dump means a good day.

I know I don't participate much, concerned about mental health mainly. Trying to avoid news lately. I have much reality going on at home with adult with autism spectrum disorder. Thinking of a plan for his future, a safe professionally staffed residential setting, legal documents, etc.

I get it. I am far less involved since 10/07---my heart can't take it.

You son has a great mama.

Sorry, I already helped earlier this year. And I'm too socially withdrawn these days to know anyone else who might want to subscribe.

FWIW, in another instance of our personal congruity, I share this trait. I still smile when I recall a time I was blathering to my one and only older brother about some personal problem or crisis.

I can't even remember what it was about, but I do remember my typical approach: "I think that part of my problem is A, B, and C-- but it's also occurred to me that my tendencies to X, Y, and Z are involved."

When I finally paused for breath, my brother said with palpable annoyance, "The trouble with you is that when you discuss problems/crises, you never leave room for anyone else's ideas! While you were talking about A, B, and C, I was going to tell you that X, Y, and Z might be involved too. But you never let anybody get a word in edgewise, and then you said it yourself, so now I have nothing to add!"

I smile because he was so annoyed and resentful that I stole his thunder, as he saw it. Obviously I didn't know that he was hoping to enlighten me by bringing up X, Y, and Z, much less that my getting in ahead of him would piss him off. It was like I'd cheated him out of the gratification of offering original insightful criticism of my situation. Go figure! 🤨
