Aw that’s actually kind of sweet though, my grandmas never texted me before.

Huh interesting. Searched out of curiosity, and I found 1 article saying you should close it as it will lower the temp throughout the night to allow for a more peaceful sleep and also for fire safety. Then right below was a link to another article stating you should leave it open as it will lower the temp via circulation. Fun, don’t think I’ve seen such mixed results.

It’d be awesome if they can continue with that mindset but unfortunately I’m a skeptic.

Cat definitely believes it got the short end of the stick having to deal with me, but will accept trade out of sympathy.

The cat is the party.

So I get yelled at for forgetting to take out my kindle, while they’re missing a whole person slipping past security. Smh

You’ve unlocked a core memory for me. Think I was about 4~5 yo, we were on a family trip to a resort. I was sitting on a noodle bent in a U-shape in the pool and had waded towards the middle, still next to the wall though because I didn’t know how to swim. Although my mom always had me wear the life vest, this one time i didn’t as I thought the noodle was all I needed and also didn’t want to look like a baby in front of my older cousins.

Before I even realized, the noodle shot out from under my butt and I just silently sunk. None of that flailing and splashing that they do on TV happens. I also clearly recall just looking up at the super-close surface, gulping down mouthfuls of water in an attempt to breathe, thinking this was the end. And I think the worst part was feeling the wall with my hands but being unable to grab the ledge because it was too high (I was underwater, my arms were short, etc).

My uncle was sitting literally feets away from me, he said he was watching, it just looked like I was playing- bobbing my head in and out. Then he realized I wasn’t coming up and jumped in to save me. My parents almost quite literally threw me into ymca swim classes as soon as we got back home.

If I ever have kids, swim lessons will be a must.

Oh, I was wondering why it was showing me as logged in but wouldn’t let me upvote due to not being logged in. Your liftoff psa just cleared that right up for me, thanks!
