I like this take on it. I’ve just been calling it my “if you give a mouse a cookie” mode

In this case it is thankfully placed in an obvious spot. I was speaking more in general because they’re not always that easy to find.

My parents have one of these, and it drives me nuts when I visit. I understand that feature on something like an oven where it’s still cooking. But the microwave stopped. Nothing’s going to burn. So stop rushing me!

Sniff test then drink. Who’s got the time/patience to play iSpy with the date stamp?

• Camouflage (as in items of clothing with the pattern)
• Tall boots
• The color red
• When you open a plastic bag, such as for garbage (but if they’re left lying around he loves to sit on them) - this doesn’t apply to treat bags
• Tall men with deep voices - roughly 6’3” (1.9m) or taller

I spent probably 10 seconds looking for the feline in the bottom left before the light bulb went off

I kept thinking “don’t do it, you’ll hit the ceiling” while she was planning, but she obviously knows her limits much better because she made it look easy

Looks like a normal drawer to me, I see nothing amiss

There’s physically hyperactive, which is what traditionally was used to diagnose, and now mentally hyperactive is also recognized. As a result, three subtypes have been created - hyperactive, inattentive (mentally hyperactive), and combined.

I could have a super productive day and the list would still get longer instead of shorter

As far as increasing strength in the muscles supporting the spine: these exercises and these exercises

As long as they don’t cause you pain. I’ve had a broken vertebra in my low back for over a decade and these exercises help me manage the pain.

I like Faber Castell and Black Widow brands. Not Crayola cheap but also not super expensive either.

laughing kookaburras as background “monkey” sounds in the Amazon jungle also get me

using a red-tailed hawk call whenever a bald eagle is shown

also I like to try and figure out where they filmed based on the birds I hear in the background

If you’re going to be in national forest land, the Forest Service has maps you can use in Avenza Maps that are geotagged - probably the wrong term but they work in areas of the forest with no cell service and it still shows where we are and even when we’re moving.

Other federal agencies (BLM, FWS, etc) may have them too. You could even see if the area’s counties have some? I only have direct experience with USFS maps that do this but I doubt they’re the only ones.

Eta: After looking at some iGo screenshots, Avenza probably won’t be a good fit. It doesn’t offer turn by turn directions nor does it automatically center on you. If you drive out of frame you do have to manually move the map.

Oof that second one hit too close to home

My brother’s cat just stands there and braces for the water spray, then goes right back to misbehaving

I didn’t notice the dog until I read your comment and went back to check. So thanks!

Yep. If I choose the noise I can block it out. But unsolicited noise somehow becomes all my brain can focus on.
