No, thank you! We all know what's going to happen, so just throw a few more over me.
We have more and more multi-/all-generation playgrounds around here in Germany. They're amazing! Classic stuff for kids, but also swings for tall/adult people, swings and carousels for wheelchair users, Kneipp pools, barefoot paths, outdoor "gym equipment" etc. And they're really a place were generations come together and have fun.
He knows he'll soon be replaced because of someone's redecoration projects...
I recommend finding an audiobook version of a book that you either know REALLY well, or that you find kind of boring. (Either option will reduce the chances of getting sucked into the plot and staying awake specifically to see what comes next.) Play it at bedtime, at a volume that is just high enough that you can make out the words if you concentrate on them, but low enough that they turn into a drone if you tune out. Whenever an anxiety-thought-spiral starts up, redirect your concentration to the faint sound of the words, while consciously focusing on relaxing the muscles that get tense when you worry (my face/jaw and my shoulders are my big ones). Between the slight effort of concentrating, and by not letting the anxious thoughts keep you physically tense, you should eventually get relaxed and sleepy enough to drop off.
I can't fathom this isn't absurd hyperbole but describes reality on point. 😡
I prefer Hagar's take on this. Hagar and Lucky Eddy are wearing aprons and washing up in the kitchen. Lucky Eddy says "In the war of the sexes, who won?"
I never thought about wether FOX News also broadcasts via radio, so I googled. It does. 😐
Every cartoon more brilliant than the previous one. Great captures of convoluted subjects in a small package. Amazing work.
I was going to be a cynic - but what would be the point?
