              Being retired is the greatest. It’s like being a teen-ager again, but with a modest amount of income and no parents to tell you what you can’t do. Like staying up all night reading if you want to.

                Nah, it’s even better than that, you can go do your hobbies, and “oh, I could use a nap, I’ll take one. Sure I stayed up all night reading a book I couldn’t put down, and now it’s 10:00am.” (Naps until noon) “Time for lunch, and more books!”
                The down side, “Oh it’s Saturday, only 11 pills this morning! Yay!!”

                  Damn, I want to be retired!

                  How does that stuff work with 3 kids aged between nearly 8 months and just turned 6 though? The middle one (3 next month) requires constant supervision because bright, resourceful, independent toddler who is good at finding ways to entertain herself (draw on the walls, rub moisturiser into the carpet…) and is potty training (over a year ago she started to tell us she needed to go and over about 3 weeks demonstrated she can reliably do so. But then she decided that actually soiling herself was less of an issue than taking a break from something more interesting. That’s still about where she is…).

            Clif, the first rule of being voluntarily retired is that you don’t tell anyone how nice it is to be voluntarily retired. Because then everyone else wants to kill you and being killed is not as nice as being voluntarily retired

          When I was in college the first time, I wound up using 4 alarm clocks set 5 minutes apart, two of them on the other side of the room…and I still would wake up some mornings with all four having been turned off and me having no memory of turning them off.

      It’s pronounced like revely. It’s English, but pretty much only used in military organizations and groups who are trying to imitate military rules and aesthetics (like scout camp).!

        It is very clearly a word of French origin (look at the spelling!), it is also the verb “wake up”. Pronounced “Reh – vay”.

        To be fair I was 100% sure so I double-checked before posting this. Reveille is a conjugation of the french reveiller, meaning “to wake.” It’s as english as tofu sushi tortilla sauerkraut croisant and every other adopted and integrated word. So yes, it’s english, but that’s not it’s origin story.

          My mom used to sing this to me as a joke because I am not a morning person. I often sing it to myself now. I didn’t know this version and that’s so cool! The version I know is “and when I get the other pup, the one who wakes the bugler up, I’ll spend the rest of my life in bed!” 😀

They may have been clean PJs paired with freshly done hair and a face of make up, mind.

              Sometimes you’re the bird. Sometimes you’re the worm.

              Sleep late. Stop when you’re tired because past that point you’re not really accomplishing anything.

    The surprise is, Sarah stopped setting her alarm a while ago considering Joyce a suitable substitute!

      Then if Joyce doesn’t wake her up, she’ll miss her morning class. Unless she’s like my feiend who made sure he had no “morning” class.

        When I was in college I avoided taking any classes that started before about 9 or 10 a.m. And even that was pushing it since I’ve never been a morning person.

          I had an 8:30 class my fall freshman semester, which I kept missing due to, it turns out, an undiagnosed thyroid inflammation and a serious vitamin D deficiency that were causing exhaustion and basically wiped out my memory of most of that semester (probably because I was sleeping all the time.) These both got diagnosed over the winter break, and I figured eh, I’m mostly through the prescription-strength supplements, I’ll be fine, right? And took a 10:30 class the next semester.

          I was not fine. I didn’t take another class before 11 AM the rest of my time in undergrad, just to be on the safe side. (I had an alarm. It was a DEEPLY unpleasant-sounding one! I slept through it constantly. My deepest apologies to my roommate that semester.)

          I try to do that, and I get close, but there’s always one asshole professor who’s like “oh yeah this mandatory class only takes place at 8 am because I’m a morning person, fuck you”

            If your prof was truly a morning person, why would they waste their best hours in a classroom teaching, instead of doing their own research in the a.m. and teaching in the p.m.? Aounds more like a subscription to misery loves company.

    Actual reveille, Navy style. A monotone voice, dead from hours of watch and years of active duty, saying “Reveille. reveille, all hands, heave out and trice up.”

    Nowhere near the level of cheer and enthusiasm that Joyce would bring.

        I hate to get up, I hate to get up, I hate to get up right now.

        If you didn’t wake up, the bugle sound source was brought directly into your tent.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
