Is it okay to roast your balls with your laptop if you don't care to have children?
 
It's mother's day in North America. I was asked not to cook. Which means I bought bottles of champagne and a cake from a local patisserie that costs more than a four course lunch that I would make myself for the same amount of attendees.

The big pod machine are incredibly temperamental. I’ve had to exchange 3-4 until hitting on the current one which seems to be doing ok.

Be sure to run a cleaning cycle once a week

That was something I vaguely remember my father mentioning a few months ago. Of course now he isn't here to do it. So maybe that explains it.
 
A presenter on Bloomberg today said during a discussion of Best Buy's financial results that she doesn't own a laptop. She does everything on her mobile phone. There was a notable pause after that.
 
When going to someone's ballet recital dance, is it inappropriate to wear a suit and tie? It's a daytime event.
 
My landlord said he's coming by at 12pm to pick up my post dated cheques. It's more than an hour now. It's robbing me of the chance to go outside and breathe in the wildfire smoke.

But I'll keep waiting since there is, strangely, no rent increase.
 
There is a Jehovah Witness convention down the street from me. Lots of well dressed people for a weekend. A few of the women look unusually nice. What’s the trade off? No booze? Or is that Mormon? Bat shit crazy I already know n

I see them around these stands with books and a sign that says What does the Bible really teach?

But most are homely looking

Easy. I cheated. There were four financial institutions, three of which had assets that required probate. I used my father's passwords to get the current value of the assets for the application. They weren't right at the date of death so I have a bit of a discrepancy to reconcile now.

One of the institutions didn't require it in the end because he held many times more assets that could be transferred to the surviving spouse so they just wrote off the liability of the paltry 4 digits of money account.

Two of the institutions are digital/online only. It took me 2-3 months from notifying them of the death, getting the identity of my mum and me verified & notarised, filling in forms then notarising them, letters of intent/direction to get to the point where they produced a statement showing the balance at date of death. (It would have been easier to just walk in a branch but they don't have one). Meanwhile I had already submitted the application two weeks into this 2-3 months ordeal process.

If I had done everything in sequence I would have submitted end of July or beginning of August and likely waited till November. We also chose a court in a different county - where he died, rather than his official residence.
 
It is a new world order. The media is saying this about China with Xi in the middle and Putin and Kim on either side. BRICS, 3b people between India and China, etc.

Michael Clarke on Sky News says there are only 30 western democracies remaining. When did I end up on the wrong side of history?
 
Spent 3 hours at the banks today. 30 minutes counting foreign currency at bank 1 and waiting for their vault to open. 1 1/2 hours over two visits to sort out my father's estate chequing and now savings account.

It's not the worst case scenario where some of his money sits in a cheque that I stare at. But it's second worse - it's stuck in an account where there are fees and my mother's the only one that can manipulate it and the bank wants her to be physically present in the branch. So it's going to sit there and rot till mid March.
 
There is a new Michael Jackson show this season. We got over him being a pedophile? For awhile I remember playing his music at a bar was frowned upon.
 
My aunt gave me a new electric toothbrush. At the bottom of the brush there's a Bluetooth label. I've joined the 2020s.

But like any man I binned all the instructions booklets along with the packaging so I have no idea what it does other than there are indecipherable modes (other than the one that's a shape of a teeth) and it changes colour from red to green to white as you use it.

you can download the manual. Red when brushing with a bluetooth brush is usually you are pressing too hard and the brush is warning you. when not in use, red = recharge or change brush head
 
I dropped some malachite and some blue thing which the museum guide asked us to pass around. Amongst 85% seniors in the crowd no less. Very embarrassing.

This losing strength suddenly and dropping things is becoming more noticeable. Originally I thought it was related to the weights but it is a cardio day today.

Last month my mother saw me drop a cup of water.
 
Should I go to the beach on a 27c sunny day or spend 3 hours listening about contemporary Korean culture, K-pop and other Korean creations at the museum....
