i'm not a yeller

it would take great effort to raise my voice to yelling volume

I tend to use yelling as a euphemism for telling off. Are you generally happy with your bank or do they pull nonsense on you? If they pull nonsense, list everything out, complain a bunch about fees, and see what you can get knocked off. If you're happy with them, say you are happy with them, but you have a problem with your card and you think it's ridiculous that you have to pay a fee.

Banks especially make money off of people feeling too awkward to complain a little, and they will squeeze you for it.

It's the same for almost all big corporations. If you stay on the line with customer support long enough and keep moving up the ranks eventually you'll get to someone who has the power to shut you up by giving you what you want.

It's not that stressful. You can be chill while doing it, you can make the call while watching a show or whatever.

hate crimes are the worst

My parents being Colombian we had the doors at home locked at all hours even when in the house. It was always strange to me when I went a friend's house and their place was completely unlocked.

Once in college my room mate had a some kid over to work on a class project. My roommate (is it joined or not? Spellcheck doesn't say) had to go to class and I left a bit aftewards, but the kid wanted to stay longer and work on a project. I didn't like the idea but my roommate said it would be fine so I tell the kid that I've locked the door just make sure to shut it after he left (we almost always kept the door open when in the room as it would get stuffy fast). Naturally he didn't shut it, so my friends, who lived down the hall, stole my computer to teach me a lesson that I didn't need to be taught. I was pretty annoyed but also really relieved when I found out it was just my friends that took it. They also kindly shut the door after they had done so.

It's why I never liked studying in the university library, having to go anywhere else was such a hassle because I was never comfortable actually leaving my computer unless I was with someone I trusted. Same reason I don't own a bike in Paris, as much as I'd like to, because I'd hate to have it stolen. So I use the public bikes which is an ok trade-off.

Wallet-talk: I always keep things in the same pockets. Phone in the left and wallet/keys in the right. I use my back pockets for loose change or ticket stubs (left/right respectively). I hope I'm not the only on with such dumb regular habits. My partner thinks I've way too many habits, but I wouldn't mind changing them but it's just easier not to do so.

I've listened three times. I don't understand how it works so well, but I don't hear many cuts in either song or up/down tuning. They fit in key, tempo, and structure. It's crazy.

Take some mucinex and drink a quart of water, then wait an hour

Pee a lot then go for a jog. It'll be painful but it'll shake that nasty mucous loose and then you just hack it up and bam, all set

Hey thanks, I took some mucinex (which I hate because it makes me cough more for some reason and I cough so hard it makes me see stars) drank the water did the pee and hit the treadclimber for 30 minutes and I feel better today, not completely over it but much better today. :3:

I'm right-handed. Having the phone in my right pocket means I can check it quickly or hammer out a quick text if need be.
