My besotted younger brother threw a snit last evening after we had watched an episode of one of our shows (Chicago PD). I had then tried something else ─ an episode from 1985 of a BBC T.V. series called Screen Two.
Several minutes into it, he grumbled, "I'm not into this."
This is his method of overruling anything I might care to be watching ─ his drunken opinion is expected to override any preferences of mine.
He rose and spent five or more minutes in the kitchen before returning with some supper which he ate; and then around 10:20 p.m. ─ about half way into the show, he rose again and muttered "Goodnight," therewith betaking himself up the stairs and to his bedroom.
I watched a few more minutes of the show to give me time to finish the last of the can of strong beer that I had opened earlier, and then I cancelled out of the episode and turned off the T.V. and came upstairs here to my computer.
After a couple or so minutes I heard him sneak out of his bedroom and go back downstairs to watch T.V. on his own.
He had been out earlier drinking, and had swilled down three cans of regular strength beer during the course of the single can I was drinking. Apparently after coming back downstairs, he swilled away another three cans before he retired for the night.
My wife was home at the time that he became petulant and went upstairs to his room, but she was in her bedroom engaged with her tablet and likely unaware.
I went to bed around 11:15 p.m. relatively content, for I wanted to rise at 4 a.m. and head out for a three-mile walk, stopping for some pull-ups at some rings in an elementary school playground.
And this I was to do, no doubt feeling a little more rested than would have been the case had I sat up into the midnight hour with my brother, and had a second can of beer as I had originally planned.
Temperatures hereabouts dipped below the freezing level overnight despite it being overcast, so it was a bit chilly when I left home around 4:15 a.m. Early into my walk, I passed some young fellow apparently awaiting a bus, and engrossed with his cellphone. If there are actually buses picking up passengers that early in the morning, then I will be somewhat surprised.
I was never to encounter anyone else while hiking the three-mile rectangle that I have set up for myself, but near the finish of my first mile as I was crossing a street, I saw farther up the way a pair of raccoons also crossing it, one well behind the other as they travelled in single file as seems to be their way.
Despite the chill air, the rings I exercised with were dry and easy to hold with bare hands.
I was probably back home by 5:05 a.m., and my eldest stepson soon rose to start his workday. I remained up until nearly 7 a.m., I believe, and then sought some further sleep.
I was to rise at (I think) 9:14 a.m., fully expecting to find my brother downstairs watching T.V. However, he had not yet come forth from his bedroom. And so it was that I got a jump on him where accessing the T.V. was concerned.
When he soon enough joined me, I led off our viewing with Odessa Orlewicz's latest video from yesterday: March 9- BC, Canada's Reign Of Terror Bonnie Henry. Featuring Dentist Robert Johnson.
This was its description, for there were three other guests participating:
Bill Gates play toy Bonnie Henry has hit an all new psychopathic high coming after even MORE BC, Canada residents even after the Pfizer dump of truth and even after the Vancouver Coastal Health letter begging it to stop addressed to UBC. There is no jail small enough for this emperor with no clothes. While the rest of the world has stopped the madness including Vancouver Coastal Health, Bonnie proves how insane she actually is. I interview a furious BC dentist who won't take Bonnie's non -science Klaus Schwab tyranny as well as nurse Mel RN, BSN, MSN, BCNU steward. Also featuring Tanya Gaw from Action4Canada.Note that I had tried for us to watch the video at Librti.com (March 9- BC, Canada's Reign Of Terror Bonnie Henry. Featuring From Viral Video Dentist Robert Johnson and 2 Honest BC Nurses & Tanya Gaw), but it refused to play at approximately the halfway mark. And so I was forced to seek it out on Rumble where it played without issue.
We were to watch other videos, but I will only mention a 17-minute video by very cute Dr. Sam Bailey: The Truth About Viruses:
It doesn't seem to matter how many videos, articles and even books that refute the existence of "viruses", I still get questioned with "but....what about [insert anything here]?"
I took up the challenge to make a one stop video, although I'm not holding my breath 😶🌫️
I am not fully converted away from the germ theory, but I am no longer convinced that viruses irrefutably exist.
Darn it! Already it is well past 7:30 p.m., and I must forsake this post.
I do want to include this 19-second video that I posted today to YouTube concerning a scam telephone message that was left on our home answering machine. It probably takes longer to read the description I made than it does to listen to the video.
This telephone message was left today in an attempt to con someone into spontaneously reacting to have some surprise Amazon order halted before a charge was irreversibly applied to the recipient's credit card.
No doubt, to have intercepted the call and complied with its instructions would have resulted in some very helpful purported agent of Amazon who would have been most understanding, and would immediately cancel the order ─ all the recipient would need to do is provide full credit card details in order for the supposed agent to put a stop to or reverse the charge.
I am sure that there are people so alarmed by the call that in unthinking desperation, they would have gone through with this scam scare; and the result would likely have been far worse than the non-existent iPhone 11 charge that was quoted.
The security people behind a credit card would be the ones to do that verification if the charge was going to be unusually large ─ or if there was sudden unusual activity with the card; but Amazon would never make such a check, for they are only too happy to have customers spending money.
Also, had this somehow been a genuine call, the intended customer would have been identified and named. After all, anyone could have taken the call.
What is even more odd about this call is that we received an identical call two days earlier for the same product, but the price quoted at that time was a $595 charge ─ the scammers can't even keep track of the details of their lies.
But this is where I must stop for today.
