My great grandma had a "pet" skunk. Lived under her she's and generally was pleasant as I understand.
Photoshop in a great white instead of the dog and you have my wife's fear captured perfectly.
Ha! I just got a call from the doctor saying just that! Didn't send the image though...
I'm waiting on my official Devo face masks, 4 weeks out though so I have to hope Corona virus has some staying power so I'll get to wear them and show off my Devo bling.
Yes it was. Decades aren’t counted like centuries or millenniaMe: "2019 wasn't the end of the decade."

I got my Chaosium masks a week or so ago. I've been slowly driving everyone mad by wearing the Yellow Sign on my face for a week! Who needs the King in Yellow play, when you can casually infect people's minds by wearing the Yellow Sign! I figure I've infected about 500 people or so in a week's time. I know the people at my job are definitely showing signs; twitchy eyes, the little slobber at the side of their mouth, the pasty skin from staying up a few days drawing alien sigils on the walls of their homes.... It's glorious! Hastur well be so pleased!
(If only! So far, the best I got was compliments of how nice my masks looks )
That would mean that in common usage, the first decennium started Jan. 1, 1BC since 0AD isn't actually a year. Personally, I'm perfectly fine with this, but I'm sure a lot of people would be confused by this fact so it's funny to call it "common usage".Boooo!
NYT article
Summery:
Using a modified Julian date, the 2020s will begin on Jan. 1, 2021, Dr. Mac Low said.
But that is out of sync with common usage. According to Emily Brewster, a senior editor at Merriam-Webster, a decade in popular culture is not defined by scientific convention. Because of this, the 2020s will begin on Jan. 1, 2020, and end on Dec. 31, 2029, Ms. Brewster said.
“It is interesting that there is this arbitrariness,” she said. “It’s unconventional, like language.”
Like most things these days, it's a matter of perception and choice. It depends on whether one wants to go with the common usage or the usage of the United States Naval Observatory. It doesn't really matter. I use both because doing so lets me get my party on two years in a row.
See, that's the thing though. Decades don't matter except when you're referring to periods that you can remember, or that were important to shaping recent culture. When we say "the 20s" we mean the 1920s. Nobody really talks about the 1820s or 1720s colloquially. Once they're that far away, we're talking about full centuries or more specific events with their own timetables. Once it's in history, decades are irrelevant. Then the scientific definitions matter, and we're usually just talking about centuries at that point.That would mean that in common usage, the first decennium started Jan. 1, 1BC since 0AD isn't actually a year. Personally, I'm perfectly fine with this, but I'm sure a lot of people would be confused by this fact so it's funny to call it "common usage".
The realization that the year 0 isn't actually a year, is quite mind-blowing IME, which is a lot of fun.This entire issue is irrelevant because we all know time is relative and calendars only exist to remind me how long I've been in lockdown.
And the added expense of an Uber and all those annoying other folks complaining about the weak drinks.One person's thoughts on future
LOL I was a bartender for years and don't miss the ignorant lowlifes who show up to a bar with $5 in their pocket and complain about weak drinks.And the added expense of an Uber and all those annoying other folks complaining about the weak drinks.

It's gonna be real interesting seeing what people are like after having 2+ months to just be themselves 24/7. I predict a lot of hugs and barfights.
I was in college and poor! And just odd socially. Now I show up with $20 and complain about strong ones.LOL I was a bartender for years and don't miss the ignorant lowlifes who show up to a bar with $5 in their pocket and complain about weak drinks.
So you are saying you are still odd socially but you have more money now?I was in college and poor! And just odd socially. Now I show up with $20 and complain about strong ones.
It's odd how much more of one increases the other....So you are saying you are still odd socially but you have more money now?
