What is currently on your mind?

Maybe more my issue is that I just want to make sure I'm judging something fairly to the best of my ability.

Which with Tiktok.. I guess deep down I know I'm not. Yet these judgy dismissive feelings are very powerful.

Does Tiktok require you judgment? Lots of people live wonderfully fulfiled lives having never seen Tiktok, which strongly suggests nobody needs view it, which subsequently suggests nobody needs to judge it.

When I was a kid, we had a city zoo that had a rhesus monkey pit. The monkeys performed all kinds of antics for their own reasons. Some of them were amusing to us, some of them were disgusting to us, some were just puzzling to us. But all of them were just the antics of monkeys in a pit...not affecting our lives in the slightest.

. It's not that we can't keep up, is that we realize most of it is just irrelevant in the long run, and especially in the time we have left.

Have you applied that to our own youth ?

Did you mean my own youth?

That's my point. It's by looking at how much that I thought was important--really turned out not to be important--that I realize how many things people think are important today aren't really important.

Was the peace movement important.. the love your neighbour as self movement, etc

Do adjectives and adverbs mean nothing to you?

My issue really isn't about Tiktok itself, but the slow realization of an attitude I find myself taking the older I get.

In the past I really strived to keep an open mind about things, that what might seem trivial at first glance might actually have more depth and use behind it.

One thing I liked about Penn Jillete growing up, was that he was an older guy who seemed to be more open minded about the things younger people were compared to other adults. I always admired that, but sadly it seems like I'm not personally heading into that direction myself. Although, I guess I can try to fight it as much as I can.

I guess, I'm worried I might be shutting my mouth prematurely. This is especially true with someone who feels more disconnected with the youth.

 

[timothyu]

Even the youth are disconnected with the youth

I'm trying to keep from getting more angry over another delivery lhat is missING the most important things i ordered, it was delivered to the wrong house and usually those people keep my orders when they get them but they moved out, lol. New neighbors gave them to me. Those missing items really were the reason for the order. And the other things were added to meet the minimum and now i have to pay for another delivery from another store so they can do the same thing. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Never had the problem 20 years ago.

Admittedly, online shopping has made available a whole range of things we just did without twenty years ago. And personally, I'm grateful for that! (Although admittedly impatiently waiting an overdue delivery of my own).

I am pondering which housework task I want to tackle. The honest answer is probably "none of them," but I need to pick at least one!

I have too many to make a decision

Part of the problem with only having one day off a week, is that that's the day I end up trying to cram in all the domestic stuff. It's not necessarily restful, but it is necessary!

It's strange, when i was working and raising kids i kept up with all of it but now i am so far behind it's impossible to catch up but then my health wasn't bad then.
If i was to suggest i would say don't get too far behind

The best thing I do is pay for a cleaner once a fortnight. Helps keep on top of the big things (and makes us tidy before the cleaner comes!)

They've been advertising a cleaning service for 1day $19.00. i think is you probably have to go on contract. I've never had anyone clean my house. It would never have entered my mind.

As much cheating they do we would have been better off without it.
