Me doing tons of yardwork yesterday during the peak of allergy season.

Hmm...
What does this mean? Do amerikans feed other people's kids randomly?
If it implies that we don't get fed when we are at other kids houses when their families eat.. yeah, I think that was how it went lol. Either you just went home or the parents had talked to each other beforehand and you could get fed.

I don't think it was a matter of greed or hate of other people's kids, but more that it was considered rude to do without talking to the kids parents and it might be thought of as thinking they can't feed their own kids... Or that kids parents dinner plans got screwed idk.

Me and my wife usually just contact the kids parents before eating and ask if it's okay for them to eat with us... It was different when I grew up I guess lol
lol yeah 9 times out of 10 I would just kind of.....eat with the other family I guess? But it is strange to be like over there and just hang while the family eats and doesn't offer you anything. I can think of like two times that happened to me and it's because the parents had no idea I was there lol.

Your way of doing it makes a lot of sense though, so props on breaking the (new?) stereotype

Maybe it's why amerikans are so overweight? The kids eat dinner twice?
 
Have you ever accidentally pushed a bunch of s*** on your phone, then when you pull the phone out of your pocket to look at it, you're like one more step away from buying a book or some s*** on Amazon?

Accidently pressing random stuff on your phone by simply moving it around. Never been one step away from accidentally buying something though.
I think it happens to me when I leave a Youtube video open. They always have ads directly under the video.

I’ve been one step away from swiping right on someone I wouldn’t.

I really hate the hot weather. I think we just hit that point where it is just going to get hot and humid and stay that way until September. You think of Buffalo and you think of snow and winter, but for some reason, our summers are just super sticky. I spent over $500 on an a/c and it barely brings the temps down.

Was warm and humid here in So Cal, it rained last night and this morning, a woman walking her two dogs this morning got struck by lightning and all three of them died.

Random thought here but I notice coyotes are becoming more and more widespread here in So Cal, why do cities make it so you can only build your walls 6 feet when they have predatory animals that can easily clear that if they want to? I would think people should be able to build up to 10 feet if they want.

Just got hired as a railroad planner, ie making the schedules for the trains and the work that needs to be done on the railroad. Going from the train dispatch service I had before this means no shift schedule, no weekends, no holidays and a bit higher salary (not by much though).
Starting in September I have something to look forward too when it gets chillier here.
