Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am rickety too. The mask somehow makes it so I have no depth perception at all, and I already had poor depth perception.

Sophia, I feel you. The first time I wore a mask I discovered in the face-plant-on-the-sidewalk way that peripheral vision isn't just to the sides and that I look at the ground more than I realized.

Any other fully-hearing person discover just how much they read lips to understand what people are saying?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My doctor and I were just talking about how the mask messes with your vision, as he had to help me step down from the table. I got progressives a year ago, which makes it even worse for me.

I fortunately had a chance to get used to the mask before I had to get used to the progressives... took me about a month to go down stairs without grabbing the rail CUZ WE BE RICKETY!

I already knew I read lips a lot, but masking has def proved it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Any other fully-hearing person discover just how much they read lips to understand what people are saying?

Totally.

How do mondays keep happening? And I keep having to WORK for a living? Wtf.

Seriously, though.

What is even happening?

Cindy what does TFG mean? All I can think is “that ducking guy”

meara, it absolutely means that to me.

People use TFG for "the former guy" a lot on Twitter, but more often than not, they also confess they parse the "F" as the f-word.

Anyhow it means the guy who held office between Obama and Biden.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm watching a new (to me) procedural out of Australia (Halifax: Retribution on PBS) and one of the main characters has a late teen-early twenties daughter who looks so much like Matilda it's messing with my head.

Huh. I'lll have to check. Which actor/character?

That's her, though, looking at her photos, only when she's playing Zoe. Wow, she seriously has a range of looks.
