Hey Pandas, What Are Some Time-Themed Songs?
Time of the Season by The Zombies It's the time of the season When love runs high In this time, give it to me easy And let me try with pleasured handsHey Pandas, What Are Some Time-Themed Songs?
Wow! You've dragged a memory from the depths of my youth! 'Same Old Lang Syne', by Dan Fogelberg was still quite popular when I was a Kid at Christmas in Ireland, and I haven't heard it since then. It's pretty unheard of here in the UK. Just had to listen to it again, and here's my take: The verse that starts with 'She said she saw me in the record stores', suggests that the song is in fact, autobiographic in nature. So the ending of the song... 'Just for a moment, I was back at school, And felt that old familiar pain' I think this is referencing the pain of the original break-up. 'And as I turned to make my way back home, The snow turned into rain'. I think that what he means by that is that, as he was on his way home, the snow literally turned into ran.Show All 5 Upvotes

If you're regularly considered a bit strange, (not in a bad way but out of left field sometimes strange) lean into it rather than trying to hide it completely (if it is acceptable/safe to do so). Hidden strangeness that slips out of the mask can be off-putting, strangeness used tactically can make you a loved coworker I work in an internal medicine clinic and my practice manager gave me my employee review, it was specifically noted that I lighten the mood of the office by making jokes and comments to the benefit of other staff I caww at the passing nurses and they all make sounds back at me, I referred to samples as "danger candy" making a provider chuckle on a hard day, a nurse and provider came to thank me for helping them get needed patient records quickly and I told them "I don't want your thanks, I want you to acquire me a venomous barb from the hind leg of a platypus" -cue 10 minute long conversation about why I even know about that-. Everyone jokes more, I would like to think everyone is a little less stressed I was constantly bullied through school until around highschool for being the odd one, now jobs want to keep me around and give me the benefit of the doubt when I struggle with my mental health. Not everything can be turned into a strength but I'm glad I could do it with thisDrPeterVankman reply
This may sound ridiculous but it has helped me immensely. I get terrible anxiety attacks from time to time, and my brain basically convinces me I’m seconds away from dying. When I start to go down this spiral, I tell my brain in Samuel L Jackson’s voice “I don’t remember asking you a GODAMN thing!” Ever since I started doing this I find myself either chuckling or feeling empowered that I told my brain to stfu for onceShow All 29 Upvotes

My lil stripey kitten, who had been left behind runt from a feral litter, recently discovered that toys are fun. I slid my half-asleep butt downstairs this morning to find him with one of those glittery balls with the bell inside, playful kitten spiked with a puffy triangle tail and all, batting furiously at it before bounding away and charging it again with a mew. Last week this kitten was hiding and hissy. Giggles were had and sat on the stairs watching him for a while.This Panda hasn't followed anyone yet
