  1. Men are incompetent and stupid
  2. Same ad over and over for stuff I don’t want or need
  3. The offensive ads that assume I’m a boomer with too much money:
  • I can’t afford to buy a single house, why would I want landlord’s insurance on my holiday house?
  • I’m barely keeping my head above water, why do you think I want to refinance my house?

Telling me what I can save without telling me what it costs

ad: “Save $3000 this month on European cruises!”

me: How can they make money selling cruises for $15 each?

ad: “Popular soft drink $1.90 off per litre this week!”

me: That’s the normal price!

Rescued my daughter in the cliched flat tyre in the rain scenario, the flashing light was good to alert other drivers. I think it’s something that could be useful very rarely.

Due to poor life choices, I’ve had six.

I had a really good dentist and none of them were a big deal in terms of pain or discomfort. Just boring sitting there for long periods waiting for it to be done. I closed my eyes and meditated into a half doze. Good luck!

Define “better”. Surely it’s a matter of personal opinion?

I was part of a team that was trained in COBOL to help update code in time for Y2K. We’ve been headhunted by the same company several times in the last ten years to further update and maintain the same code, originally written in the mid-1970s. I’m now 56, and I suspect that code base will live at least as long as I do.
