Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Just dragged 2 Christmas trees from a couple neighbors' front yards, that they threw out with their trash, & I hatchet chopped them down for firewood, & tossed the pine branches into the rough brush behind my place.

I mean c'mon! How removed from a natural life are we, that a decorative tree needs to be trucked off by a garbage crew, when you'd be hard pressed to find any other thing on Earth that is more biodegradable? I got no problem with decorating trees for the holidays. I think it's nice, but it's just a little tree, people. The branches are between the width of a pencil & a finger. Took me 20 minutes to clean both.

I may make a yearly habit of this. It was a good workout.

And of course, the most meta of all phobias... Phobophobia. The fear of phobias

BTW, Lucy misspoke when she said "ailurophasia." She obviously meant "ailurophobia." Ailurophasia (if there is such a thing) means trying to speak but instead meowing like a cat.

Aibohphobia is the fear of palindromes. Guess why?

That just seems cruel

Edit:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.

This one too. It just seems mean-spirited to deliberately turn the word for the thing someone fears into the thing they fear. For example, if when they'd made the word for the fear of profanity (Kakologophobia) they'd instead intentionally called it fuckophobia.

Which in hindsight seems like a missed opportunity

This is assuming any of these are real fears people have. Sometimes I think people just make these words to be funny, & they couldn't possibly exist for real lol

So MacGyver cured Covid too quickly, and I think Tim Allen's Last Man Standing Cured Covid too slow.

Tim's daughter is pregnant. He vows not to shave until the pandemic is over. 6 months later he chuckles "Look at this beard! I could be Santa Claus!" Then he finally shaves and we see that the pregnant daughter, her kid is maybe 4 years old.

Is it possible that the insinuation is that Covid isn't fixed proper until the Republicans retake the white house in 2024?

In that case, the fear of bad smells could be any word as long as it's written in shit.

The term for a fear of misspellings is called ortographobia

Along this line of thinking, they should've called it ortographobea

One should use spell-check. I have over come my fear.

Parks & Recreation is mostly what I want to watch on it, but it's on the free version. I think the only content you actually have to pay for is The Office.

You have to pay for a lot of the big movies on there. A lot of the stuff I've found on there that I want to watch you have pay for.

Oh, it's the movies you need to pay for? I don't use streaming services for movies much since Netflix DVD still has 97% of all the movies I want to watch and nothing else has more than a smattering of the mainstream ones.

You can wait two days to get a movie, you can't wait two days for every disc of a TV series, so for movies, having nearly all the movies you want is more important.

I gave up on Netflix's DVDs when I rented three or four discs in a row that were all so beaten up they wouldn't play.

 

[auntiehill]

That was pretty much my experience, too.

I gave up on the Netflix dvds when my rewinder broke.
