Rant: It's february and Verarde is still sporting a christmas avatar. When will this madness end? When!?

 

[Borachio]

Aren't you supposed to take down Christmas decorations on Twelfth Night? Or suffer a year of appallingly bad luck?

Bit of other helpful advice.

Thanks...I'm not in high school. But yeah, I woke up this morning and told myself to be a better man, not a bitter man. Day is going pretty well so far.

It was more the advice of "if you like a girl you should ask her out on a date, not spend weeks/months/whatever pining after her and hoping/expecting she'll intuit your feelings based on nothing".

My own fairly rational rant on PDMA policy can be found here. Please vote in the poll if you are interested in taking an opinion on whether or not this forum rule should be modified.

Properly spelled Græcovery and Græxit, I'm sure.

The english word "exit" is actually used annoyingly much to describe one thing leaving another thing here.

And a rant: you aren't on fiftychat

No, you take them down the day after Christmas .

I recall a rather acrimonious argument in Site Feedback last year on this topic.

I was in the Holy Name Medical Center last Tuesday. I was happy to see their Christmas decorations are still up. Someone is taking longer than me to take down their decorations.

My Christmas tree is up all year round. It's not decorated, though.

Thanks Cracked, for reminding me of the fact that I have brothers whose existence will hound me for a long time and tantalizing me with visions of a better life without them.

 

[Zack]

People still read Cracked?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

No, they don't.

When we used to have our big Christmas tree my family ended up keeping the tree around all year too. Was simply easier that way, no need to put it away and then set it back up every year.

i have been having more and more difficulty waking up

 

[madviking]

i've had the opposite problem the past month. i can't stop waking up 5/6 hours after i go to sleep.

I'm in a similar situation, except it's 2/3 hours instead of 5/6...

 

[Snerk]

I seem to have either-or. If I manage to fall asleep at a somewhat reasonable time, I'll wake up after around 5/6 hours and not be able to sleep for a while. If not, I lie awake for ages before I fall asleep.

This. For some reason for the last month I kept waking up 5/6 hours after I went to bed no matter how late. This last week I can't seem to wake before 9/10 hours.
