Shrit!
Went to see Chicago in concert. Awesome show with a ridiculous number of hits. But I found myself really irritated by the number of people sitting around me who sang along to almost everything. And not quietly, but with full throated accompaniment. Halfway through the show I wanted to scream "I didn't come to hear you sing!" My mature and understanding inner voice said "its ok, they are all just enjoying themselves." But the curmudgeon in me was not happy.
A local resident/personality and restauranteur (now deceased) who lived near us, Al Copeland, had such a huge display of Christmas lights at his home that after he died the display was moved to a local park for all to enjoy. And, his neighbors breathed a sigh of relief due to the lessening of traffic on their block.
Now, when we see a house that is decorated way overboard we just sneer and say to each other, "oh look, another Al Copeland wannabe!"
We don't put up any lights at all.

We turn on our front porch light.
Sent stupid battery lights back to Amazon for a refund. They were all tangled up and a PITA. Put wreath on door. Done.Christmas decorations. One house in our neighborhood, wayyyy overboard. They must have hired someone to design and put up. All the other houses a few lights, a wreath or something cute but minimal. I ordered some battery operated lights from Amazon. I'll put them up, let them blink. Why must I feel obligated to partake in decorating? I'd rather spend the $$ on giving to the local food bank. But no one would see that.

A few years ago I got one of the projection devices that projects rotating colors on the front of my home. $5 in the close-out Christmas ornaments bin.

How did that work out? They were advertising them do death for maybe 2 or 3 years I was thinking of getting one this year but have seen exactly ZERO ads for them. I guess they didn't catch on? I have never seen an actual house using one.
I walk in a park near my home where many folks walk their dogs. It annoys me that some people refuse to pick up their dog's poop deposited on the trail. The city even supplies poop bags for people to use but some can't be bothered.
Even though I'm a dog owner, I'm convinced that a lot of people just own dogs as surrogate aggressors. Why commit antisocial acts in person when the dog can do it for you and you still get the guilty pleasure?I walk in a park near my home where many folks walk their dogs.

If so, it's creeped into the Midwest. What a waste of air.SoCal. Maybe it’s the Disney influence?
I remember those days, too. It was so great to get in a car or a few steps into the house and then smell that smell.........I remember the days when nobody picked up their dog's poop. It seems strange to me to see people do it now.

Fidelity 2FA does not have email as an option to receive one-time code. I can't figure that out. It says to contact a rep but the only way to do that is by calling by phone. If you don't have your phone to get a text message, how are you supposed to call them? Every other online service I know of has an option to use email.
