Quote:Wow, you have adventurous travel ambitions! I would be worried about getting lost, not knowing the language, or actual danger (Egypt).
SignyM:
The world is a pretty amazing place. I've been to the northeast (Boston, business) Florida (family business) the southwest (jobs) up and down the west coast (vacation) Dallas (family business) and a couple of places in between, and they all felt very different.
BRENDA: That is why I want to travel. The world IS an amazing place. I've been as far east in Canada as Edmonton and Calgary Alberta and in the US, Washington State and Northern California. The US trips were to visit my dad's sisters who lived down there and meet cousins.
I have always wanted to visit Paris. To walk around a city almost a 1,000 years old as an archaeology student at heart that would be amazing.
So many places on my bucket list in Europe and North Africa. Egypt being the biggie there. Japan and maybe walk along part of the Great Wall.

I've never been more than 250 miles away from any place I've ever sat down.
Can't imagine that there is any reason why I ever would want to either.
BRENDA: There is a whole world outside your corner of the US. New things to see and experience.
I have friends like that express the same sentiment as you. They have no desire to see anything really outside of their own part of Canada. I can't imagine living in that mindset.
SIX: Eh... To each their own. I'd never tell anybody not to travel if that's what they want to do and they can afford the cost and time to do it.
I'm just not all that moved by the wonders of the world is all, and people are generally the same no matter where you go once you peel away the superficial layers.
If you were to travel, you would find a very socially-minded people in Newfoundland, PEI, and Nova Scotia. You would find that people in Argentina assume petty corruption ... the kind that would upset most Americans ... to be part of life. You would find Asians to be very conformist. Even tho we mostly need/want the same things (food, water, shelter, sleep, sex, safety, acceptance, purpose, agency) many people have very different ideas on how to achieve them.

I think JACK's very limited life is how he assumes he can speak for 'everyone' and 'nobody' ... without the smallest recognition he's exemplifying the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon.

Anything I'd want to see that isn't right here I can see in high def on the TV.

That is your choice as well.
Of course people are all the same basically. But it is the things we have in common that makes the world amazing. The different ideas on food and music. Those are in my opinion worth experiencing.

I know I do and maybe one day. I know about the danger too. My cousin mentioned that when I talked about going to Egypt. Heck, she said people down in Louisanna were crazy and there by my wanting to go down there was crazy too.

We've already gone over this.
I'm the side of the Dunning-Kruger coin where I just get frustrated because I keep forgetting that most people aren't on my level so I have to walk around with extremely lowered expectations and on the rare occasion that it benefits me or I actually care to do so I need to dumb everything down for other people.
I envy you for never having to think about those things.

I figured it out because I can sleep elsewhere, but I'm EXTREMELY uncomfortable in bed because ... for whatever reason I'm ultra-sensitive to the sensation of sticking to the linens.
So today I ordered a polymer random mesh made for boats that you put under your mattress. The original onboard intention was to allow for air circulation underneath, to keep mattresses from molding (because, on ships, mattresses are placed on solid plywood and never get a chance to dry out underneath).
It was cheap, and I think it'll allow for cooling.
How hot is it getting in your house, and what temp/humidity level do you need it to be for comfortable sleep?
The $400 A/C I bought has done fine by me and it's cooling roughly 1,500 sq feet. Granted, it's not as hot here, but it's probably quite a bit more humid.
Maybe it's time for a new A/C unit. The one I bought is out of stock right now, so you'd either have to buy a smaller 5,000 or 10,000BTU version, or the 15,000BTU if you have a window large enough to accommodate it and have an extra $600 or $700 lying around.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Dang but my back is bad again starting Wed AM when I got out of bed, and it never worked itself out. Sigh. Another day gone of creeping around bent over and hardly anything done. I guess I'll be doing the heating pad tonight and hope tomorrow is better.

I feel ya Kiki. I overdid it on Tuesday with some vacuuming and some paper shredding. The shredder has its own basket but its on the floor. So bending over to do it. I felt it today when I had to bend down to pick something up.
