Wish the news would make health items clear...

Apparently intermittent fasting increases risk of heart disease...

...in people who already have certain diseases and medical problems.

:facepalm:

We’re lucky to have a good one not too far from my house.

It’s like those folks who don’t say a word when one holds the door open for them.

I know what you mean...but I'm wondering in some cases were someone avoids eye contact and can't say 'hello' back that the reason might be they are very insecure or other mental/emotional conditions.

Who even knows. I don’t even need the eye contact.

IMO, some people are odd. But mostly when I hold the door for someone they almost always thank me. Now the flip side is I've walked into department stores and somewhere I hear a faint 'hello' and usual after I'm 30 feet from the door/cash register and it's the sales clerk. Sometimes I don't respond because it's not clear who said it and they say it to my back. But if they manage to say hello as I walk into the store I always say hi. Moral of the story if you're a sales person and you're greeting customers as they walk in the door, make sure and do it before they walk past you and don't mumble.

This is referring back to previous posts about the ads on YouTube (now that YouTube doesn't permit ad blockers anymore)...

I've discovered a little trick: if a video opens with an ad, and you had a previous video open in the same window; hit the "back" button then hit the "forward" button again. This has been working for me to bypass the ads. Sometimes I have to do it twice for multiple ads (such as when a video starts with an ad you can't "skip" followed by one you can).

Another trick is (if you can't use the back or forward buttons because you have a video open in a new window) hit the "refresh / reload page" icon once or twice - so far this seems to bypass the ads (but I haven't done it enough times to proclaim it "sure fire").

For anyone else experiencing this, let me know if these tricks work for you or not, (or if you've discovered better ones).
Thanks!

I was doing this also and it worked great, for awhile. There were times when I would hit back and reload so many times that if I just watched the ad it would have been shorter. It was the principle, though. Now it's 30 seconds plus for every video and if I watch anything longer than a few minutes it seems like there are more ads than over the air TV.

One woman on the register at Walgreens bawls out good morning! every time someone walks in the store. Depending on my mood I either reply or ignore her.

Seeing dog owners putting their dog's poop in plastic bags :D (when they walk their pets outside).
... dog scene.

Why?

Re: Things that annoy you...
 

Am I missing something, isn't that good that they pick it up?

:skeptical::goof:

It's good all right. Like that feeling of moderate heat when you catch it, even if just through that plastic bag :p

For walking my neighbors dogs, I get bags at a dispenser at the park (when or if there are any left). They're specially designed to pick up doggie "business" (they even work like a glove with a separated "business" end). But they say "biodegradable" on them - yet they look and feel like any other plastic bag.
Is there a biodegradable plastic?

Sure, plastic made from corn oil products.

Beyond annoying when people scoop their dog’s poop, but then throw the bag full of poop on the ground. Happens every day on my street & I get to pick it up.

People are so frickin thick.

People (especially medical offices) who leave voice mails in a very fast mumbled voice. Drives me nuts listening multiple times & then I don’t always get the full number.

How do old people cope with this? Answering machines do let one slow down the voice mail, but then the caller sounds like a zombie. :(

Hate that and it happens far too often.
