@lovyPrimzy1@afterending1 As kids, me and my 3 sisters hated that although we had santa stocking Xmas morning, we had to wait tol after dinner cleared, washing up done (no dishwasher) and mum had a cup of tea before we could open our family presents. Now we do the same
@gtconway3d If USA were to go on and win the tournament their win will always be tainted by the perception of it not having being fairly won. Feel bad for the players that yet again their president has ruined it all
If I may, I think this is one of the reasons we're in this mess - climate change has been sold all wrong
Being told the temperature is rising "0.56ยฐ per decade",๐ to non specialists who live in a world where temperatures vary by at least 40ยฐ in the space of a single year doesn't sound anything to worry about. It obviously ๐๐, we're seeing that this week - but all this talk of fragments of degrees of temperature clearly hasn't brought it home to non-climatologists - ie the vast majority of us, how dangerous this all is. The same goes for the usual "we have to get down to 1,5 C instead of 2ยฐ. Compared to the wild swings in the day-t-day weather we all experience, it doesn't sound that much. It doesn't sound ๐๐๐๐๐๐
We shouldn't call it "global warming" either, even though it clearly is. Most of the year for most people living in cold climates that sounds rather nice. It's obviously not, as we see in weeks like this. "Climate destruction", or "planet destruction" would have more impact than constantly being told it's a matter of fragments of degrees. It is for scientists. My point is messaging is part of the problem because people clearly haven't related enough to the urgency of it with the way it's been sold ...
@rossiadam@EricHoglund6 Hang in there. My eldest grandson is 13 but still enjoys me reading to him at bedtime when they stay once a week. Just about to finish last book in The Secret Seven series. Will only stop when he decides too old for it.
@Wydenzoo I have been the one waiting all day for a call or even a text to say hi mum, happy birthday have a great day. Sadly, some years I didnt get either until several days later. It hurts
