Glad that you two got a night without the little one! We have yet to have one (many years in..), but not going to complain or go down that route lol. I think it's great to do things that we used to before kids, like go out for a nice walk with our partners!
I think it's great to have the "make do" attitude with things we own. I try to make do with what we have instead of going out to get something new all the time. Granted, I have collected a lot of things over time from when I was younger and spent some more money than I do now but I have things that I still wear, albeit not as often, 10 or more years later! I would much rather enjoy what I have and save the money than go out and buy the latest and greatest stuff.
There is going to be insane changes in society and will fuck people up mentally for a long time. It's a double edged sword for sure though! How much of that alteration is good for long-term progress versus it being bad? Very difficult to know right now but we can only hope that it's going to be positive. Lots will be negative but we should try to ensure we keep positivity in there as well.
The last pair of real winter pants I bought no longer fit and my wife complained, as i am getting fat. The thing is, I bought them when I was still with my ex, sometime back in 2006 - being a little tight after 15 years isn't too bad. :D
This is always the question. I think long-term, more good comes from change, but the harm from staying the same is like the frog in warming water that didn't jump out. Though, that frog was lobotomized.... Society today is too.
Hahah yeah, I have pants that I bought when we lived in the big city and walked everywhere. They were snug back then but they do not fit in the least now lmao. I will get rid of them when we move for sure! I have a little bit of the holiday pudge left but thankfully getting rid of it over time. I threw away all the sugary shit that we definitely don't need to eat. My winter pants/jacket though still fit, 10 years later!
Yeah, the frog analogy is certainly ripe for right now! I've tried my best to gently alert people we know and care about some of the stuff but sadly many don't want to hear any of it because it wasn't told to them by the TV or the idiots on The Young Turks.
There is so much I need to get rid of, it might just be easier to exercise more... ;D
I haven't seen any of TYT for a long time - have they lost the plot like so many of them?
Ugh TYT is awful! They are just as bad as CNN and their ilk. It really annoys the shit out of me! I enjoyed them a little bit years ago but over time they got just as bad as the groups they are trying to rail against like Fox and others. It got progressively (pun intended lol) worse over time! I cringe when I see clips of their propaganda now.
A lot of them seem to sell out pretty fast.
