Television.

My wife finally got up the courage to ask her doctor to prescribe her something to help her crippling anxiety, which is pretty not sucky.

I've agreed to do something later on with someone that I'd really rather not do, so I'm "prewarding" myself with a beer tonight. I'm sure this term has been used thousands of times before, but it's new to me, so I'm rewarding myself with another one.

Did you promise to hang out with Calvin?

No one should stoop so low. It can’t be that bad

You could also just turn off the lights and imagine someone else.

Glad you're safe. That thing killed a girl, you know.

Is is more of an anecdote than a story. However, in searching for details I did come across this quote from 2008:

There's this thing called a constitution, and it provides these people, in Congress, all the means necessary to stop a President from overstepping his constitutional boundaries. Too bad they haven't been interested in donig their job for some time.

It's not up to the executive branch to police itself. That's not how the system was designed.

the more it changes, the more tornado warnings there are.

Band-Aid change their formula or something? These things are super sticky these days, leaving a nasty residue behind.

Before even 1-800-Kars4Kids, there was this:

This is pretty cool. There are some debates which might be based on when a political country designation was assigned. Lots of governmental institutions like national banks and the postal service, and lots of breweries. There is a good question about why Israel is just a grey area without information, but that is for the info-graphic people to sort out.

So it looks like oldest businesses are a winery in Germany (862) was followed by the British Royal Mint (886) then closing the cycle is a bar in Ireland (900), which seems almost entirely predictable. Make alcohol, a way to purchase alcohol, and the place to buy it in a 38 year cycle. FWIW, I do not see a bar anywhere else on the graphics. Sláinte!

Note that I missed anAustrian restaurant that opened in 803. Something I was told in Germany is that the Abbey in Salzburg was pretty ruthless in the salt trade. The church and state mix gave them wealth and power. The restaurant is within the Abbey.

is there any business besides funeral directors which is almost wholly still small businesses??

Haircuts? I know there are some national brands--are those places typically franchises?

Tattoo parlors. Vape shops. Nail salons.
