How often do y'all add air to your tires? My old car didn't have tire monitors, so I probably rolled around with low air pressure a lot of the time. Now, with tire pressure monitors, I'm adding air every six weeks.

Your hard drive is called the C: drive because early PCs reserved A: and B: for floppy disk drives, so when hard drives became common, they were assigned the next available letter, C. Drive letters were simply sequential labels, with A: and B: for swappable media and C: for the first fixed storage.

Christmas presents opened and appreciated. Christmas dinner cooked and eaten. Christmas pleasantries with a guest exchanged. I'm now going down for a nap. If you need me, no, you don't.

Any Xmas Trauma(TM) that you'd like to unload? I'd like to hear your story.
My dad once got into a huge fight with my mom on Xmas Eve because she let us open one gift instead of waiting until morning. He threatened to make us take the tree down, made mom cry, and never apologized for being a shit.

Is anybody enjoying Season 5 of Stranger Things? I'm two eps in and sick of all the arguing. You'd think people who have been to hell and back together FOUR TIMES would be kinder with each other. Someone needs to teach the writers that the conflict needed for drama does not mean constant bickering.

I just read someone's post about Christmas Carolers going door to door, and it's exactly how I feel. It's the worst combo of "strangers knocking at your door" and "restaurant employees singing 'Happy Birthday' to you."
