Here it’s Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years, Canada day, Victoria Day, Good Friday, thanksgiving, oh and labour day. Those are our statutory holidays.
Or just change the channel.At least you can turn the TV off when it gets annoying.
I have to say I prefer my horses and chooks to most people.

Don't feel bad, that happened to me when I rented a car for the first time in ages on a trip to Portland in 2017. The key fob had no key (!) and I kept trying to start the car with the dash push-button, but didn't realize that I had to step on the brake for that to work - DUH! And the was NO MANUAL in the glovebox, nothing to show me the basics on the car.I am having to rent cars to go to work because my two 20 year old cars gave up the ghost in the same week.
When I got the first one, I sat there for several minutes trying to find the key and where to put it.

We have frozen teethers in our kitchen freezer again, for when our little grandkids visit. Blast from the past! Sure was glad over Christmas, the baby's just cutting her first two teeth! She's too little for biscuits, still 100% breast milk.

In my day, you'd better be giving it a bit of gas if you wanted it to start...[yeah, we keep our vehicles forever, till they're not worth fixing].
And now I'm getting used to driving my daughter's all-electric Chevy Spark. Guess us old dogs have to learn SOME new tricks!
My mom remembers this when babysitting at ten years old. She used cloth diapers on me at first but quickly switched to disposable ones!
We used to hear the double-sonic-booms in the L.A. area when the space shuttles landed at a nearby airbase on their return to earth. Everyone always looked up from their desks when it happened, so cool...
