Actually January and February were added to the end of the calendar. Used to be March was the first of the year. Which is why Sept (month 7) through December (month 10) are months 7-10 after March.

December was the last month of the year and then there was just this empty time from December through March, they didn’t have a month for it because they were agrarian and that time they didn’t really do anything anyway. March being the start of spring, being the logical time to start a new year for them.

Later they added January and February. Which is why February has a short month, it was the last of the year, a logical place to have an odd number of days month.

At some point someone decided January should be the first of the year and then moved it. I forget when that happened.

I know someone who calls it the “Specific Ocean”

You keep telling yourself that, bud

Yeah, but it evens out since now your messages going back to the router have to swim upstream.

Congrats you won half of a two dollar scratcher. Here is your $2.50

It’s one banana how much could it cost Michael?

Right. I’m calling out the person in the screenshot who compared it to arms.

So what you’re supposed to cut your arm off to support a one armed friend?

Cut it out!

And what does me having ulcer from worrying about it do?

You gotta get to the point where you worry about the things you can control, and let go of the things that you can’t.

I feel like if you applied to work there it was because you wanted to be able to berate the customers. While they may be required to do it if they want to do it, then it’s the same as if they did it on their own.

Well it makes sense to hire an FBI guy, they have the training and experience.

My father gets headaches if he’s around smoke for more than a few minutes. One thing this lead to is avoiding restaurants at peak hours. So when I was a kid if we ate out we always went at 11;00 for lunch or about 5:00 for dinner. The idea was to be out before the people in the smoking section had time to light up their after meal cig. Of course occasionally you’d get the before meal cig too.

But as a result even 20 years after smoking in restaurants was banned where I live all of my family is in the habit of eating early.

Same here. It’s also thick as a beard hair. Used to be once every few months. Now it’s several a week. Annoying as fuck.

Iced. No sweeteners at all.

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em….

I would like to know more

“There’s something in the ear that shouldn’t be”

I would suggest that that something is vinegar.

Yeah this time is measured in hours not days.

And if I take my socks off for some reason, like getting home from work, they’re done, I’ll grab a fresh pair if I were to need them again that day.

I would agree with you in when they ask where you’re from. Once they start asking where your parents and grandparents are from they’re trying to figure out your race. I also agree with you as a white guy I don’t usually get extra probing but there are a few, mostly older, that are trying to figure out what specific type of white. It occasionally ends with a comment about how some group isn’t really white even though they have light skin.
