        That’s sage wisdom but from a fellow sage my learnings are to sow what I preach, everything is transient and each new day should be an adventure. I unfortunately already knew this but thought it was worth just one more, final, experiment.

      15 for a gin and tonic.

      For a society that bases the majority of it’s socialising around drinking that’s wild.

          I remember when you could get a basic house spirit and mixer for $5. I do not look or feel old enough to say that.

          Edit: Though until at least up to the big P you could still get a can of shit beer for $5

          They were 600 yen at another place but then on the bill it said 330 yen! So someone in the group got three Aperol spritzes for 10 bucks, which is half the price of one here

        If I ever figure that out I will be unstoppable 🤣 . I do like libraries - they always make me calm. And my current tricks involve noise cancelling headphones. Need to clean - distract myself with podcast or audiobook (LOTR currently). I have a phone app called ‘mynoise’ that has lots of ambient noise and soundscapes. When I need to focus in I put that on and block out the world.

        I detest how the media perpetuates myths about the society and economy and work and play. Why should the aims of big industry be our aims?

        There is so much work to do, like caring for others, like caring for our environment, like caring for plants and animals, but that is not considered real work as it’s impossible to glean a profit from it. And then there are the non work aspects of being human, like play and creation, but that is also mostly ignored unless there is profit to be made.

        I swear the lies that get pushed makes me see red again but that is not the answer either. The answer is balance.

            why does the nightly news report stock market gains on a daily basis? Why should I care. Why not report wages on a daily basis or cost of living.

              You’re choosing to watch that you know. They report it because people watch it and their Super is tied to it.

    Went to the 9th Annual Northern Car/Bike Show ‘n’ Shine today. Quite a few cars from mid last century. Also quite a few that were from my childhood and youth. Does that make me a classic or an antique‽ 🤣
