I hate the disposable culture we live in. What is the actual reason my Chromebook can no longer receive automatic security updates? Can I manually download them? Why are my only two choices: use it but it won’t be secure or “recycle” it (which we all know they don’t really do?)

Also, I literally only want to use it to help my kid get accustomed to using one because they move from iPads to chromebooks after 1st grade.

Any advice from any of you techie ‘nauts?

You know that feeling of awkwardness that comes with watching a spicy movie with your parent or child? Well my dad lent me a book and it is spicy on the second page.

Same energy.

My 8yr old nephew saved my 13 yr old niece this morning while their dad was at the gym and my sister had taken the dogs out for their morning poo. 😥

She got up and tried to make her lunch for day camp… 8yr old woke up to her screaming. 😱 She cut her hand. Badly. He brought her a roll of paper towels and her phone.

My sis got home minutes later… thought the kids had spilled a carton of juice on the kitchen floor. Totally dissociated, because it was a lot of blood. A lot.

Kid got 8 stitches.

“Hey mom! Good news.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“I got the booger.”

Fabulous.

One week ago exactly, Kiddo watched Kubo and the 2 Strings with her older cousins. We are now watching it for the 7th time in as many days. 😅

Neither would be ideal. But I would lean toward the past simply for the sake of not knowing if this particular geographical spot will be here in 300 years.

Also I’m a history enthusiast so I could more easily fake it till I make it in the past. My brain cannot fathom the infinite variables of waking up in 2324.

I came. I saw. I caffeinated. ☕️

Would you rather wake up to find yourself in the same geographical location, but flung 300 years into the past or 300 years in the future?

I used to make fun of “the Clapper.” Now I’m wishing I could get my hands on a clap on, clap off bedside lamp—because “smart home” stuff freaks me out and sometimes I’m just too damn cozy.
