Agreed with SQ!
People who go to extreme lengths with the times you’re “allowed” to contact them. I have multiple friends who’ve posted on social media that you can only call/text them between 8am-8pm. That includes messages on FB Messenger, etc. Apparently I’m not the only one that switched to email. They got peeved about that and told us we’re not even allowed to email them outside of those hours. Just to be contrary, I’ve actually started sending them cards in the mail. One called me upset she hadn’t heard from me otherwise. She’s retired. I get home at 6. By the time I eat and do stuff around my place, it’s 8. Whenever I call/text on the weekends, I don’t get a response. I told her she needs to learn how to tweak her phone notification settings rather than putting limits on when people can contact her.
An update to my rant in the post above. I was at a church women’s group meeting today and one of the women who is demanding people only contact her between 8am-8pm (this includes phone calls, texts, emails, and any other type of online communication/app), started yelling at the group coordinator who had sent out an email to the entire group at 8:30 pm one evening this week. The coordinator yelled back, which was delightful to see. She told the objector to either take her email off her phone or to adjust her notifications.
Demanding people can only email you during certain times is ridiculous.
I agree. The onus is on the recipient to do what the coordinator suggested, not on the sender to consider the demands of everyone she is emailing. It's a different world in business these days. No more waiting until you go into the office and see what memos have dropped into your inbox.Originally Posted by Tradd

This isn't business related, just personal/church stuff. But even then, if you didn't want to be bothered by work emails late, silence your notifications.
Catherine, I am so sorry to hear of the health issues in your family. On X (formerly Twitter), there is a doctor (oncologist) named William Makis who has had a lot of luck treating cancer patients with Ivermectin, Fenbendazole and Menbendazole. He has a paid Substack but his Twitter account is free. Another doctor has a free Substack that I have also found helpful:
Dr. William Makis MD ( McGill Medicine)

I hope this information proves useful to your family and I will pray for you.

Was going to do the Christmas lights outside today but out of eight strands of lights, only one worked. All were bought last year and worked when they were put away on Jan 1st so no clue why they suddenly don't work now.
The mystery of why Xmas lights don’t work all of a sudden is right up there with the mystery of missing socks. Where did the missing sock go? No one has solved these mysteries.
that is quite a bad rate of failure, though, seven out of eight.
I just bought two pairs of Smart Wool socks for the winter. Wore one pair and went to wear the second pair the next day. One sock was missing. Bought another pair. I’m sure the other one will show up, hidden in pants or a shirt from the washer. I shook everything out and couldn’t find it.
My socks usually go missing between the washer and dryer. There is just enough space there for stuff to fall in and I forget to look. LOL.
