i don't even know anymore

My a/c died at the house a couple of weeks ago. I am now the proud owner of a new 10k debt (to add to the new 10k car debt) and a unit that works adequately if not as well as the super old now dead unit. I am no longer looking for a new job because I can't afford the pay cut or to lose overtime and holiday pay. I am . . . fine with this.

please check out this weatherdude's mind being blown that his map is a touchscreen. Delightful smiles!

I wasn't a fan of Nope or the new Thor.

I saw Major Dad was on Netflix, and I really enjoyed it as a kid, so I thought I'd give it a chance for nostalgia, and people, it is still so good! This is the official tag: "A hard-nosed, conservative Marine impulsively proposes to the liberal reporter doing a story on him and agrees to help her raise her three daughters." But it doesn't quite get the point across. The Major is thoughtful, changes his mind based on new information, and is the best most trying dad to his three new daughters and his haphazard Lt. Holowachuk who is delightful. They talk about how helpful therapy and/or talking to someone is several times. I love this show.

I remember Major Dad! I'm pretty sure I watched it semi-regularly, and am glad it's held up (so much from that era really hasn't)

Yeah, I remember loving a bunch of the random sitcoms from back then. Just the Ten of Us was another one, but I don't know that lightning could strike twice, so maybe I won't go looking for it.

Ouch at the additional debt.

I've seen the Nope trailer countless times, it seems to have been on before every film I've watched for months. It opens here next week I think so it's a shame it didn't work for you.

Nope has some really cool effects, but I think I expected more horror than sci-fi thriller, so I set myself up for defeat. Also, I hate tall caps. I am sometimes very superficial.

I hope you enjoy it if you go see it!

Sorry to hear that the new AC unit isn't as good as the old one. Plus, of course, the cost. Though this is probably one thing you'll find to be worth it every time you use it.

Funny, I never watched the show though I remember its existence. I've never been much for family sitcoms so it never occurred to me to try it, but it's always a nice surprise to discover that old shows hold up well.

I'm getting more used to the new unit. It's not like I can go back anyway, and I am hopeful that the utility bill might be a smidge lower than I'm used to. Plus, it's still in the back of my head that I might sell, and the new unit will definitely help with that.

I mean, I pass on most of the kid kid shows I used to watch. I think the only thing that might tempt me from Nikelodeon (?) was Hey Dude WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT IS ON PARAMOUNT PLUS OMGWTFBBQ!!! I know what I'm doing at work this weekend.

Our AC went out earlier, and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. So sorry you had to get a whole new unit!

I also wasn't a fan of the latest Thor. Just saw Bullet Train today; my expectations were pretty low going in, but it was fun and surprisingly touching in parts.

Also I haven't thought of Major Dad in ages! Gonna have to revisit.

Okay, that weatherman clip is ADORABLE and I watched it like 3 times.
