I read kids books, too. It's sometimes to preview them, sometimes out loud for kids, or sometimes I just read what the kids are reading because they're good books.
I've not read the ET ones, but a little ... ...aaand...E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, or E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet?
I still feel sorry for you that you can't see Trump's dangerousness.
(but I do agree that politics, especially huge country, unwieldy politics, is corrupt by nature. I just don't agree that Trump is a healthy, incorrupt means of challenging the establishment. He's just more of the same and worse in many ways.)
My dad was conscripted into the Royal Signals in the 50's and is a radio amateur. From my earliest memories of him he's been sending nerdy messages into space as a biproduct of that.
I was trying to leave room for a discussion on whether we should send signals, or not, but yeah, shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
That's a really interesting ethical point.
The thought of other life out there is likely pretty mind-blowing for most people. If other life is discovered, or even more so if contact is made, I'd be pretty miffed if I were deprived of that profundity during my lifetime.
I've just watched a 1970's version to see if a different image of human kind might be projected, but what I found most notable were cuts to the audience that were less well synchronised with the rhythm.
Extra terrestrial's with no concept of human culture might assume the etiquette for the audience is to clap and dance offbeat. Imagine trying to practice in readiness for contact.
My understanding of predictive text is that one's phone offers possibilities not just according to the letters typed, but by the frequency of words used by the texter.
Which begs the question, why did your phone predict you were texting about hos?
How could a warning system work where you didn't have to turn off the alarm?
By giving them the honour of donating money they can ill-afford to him?
When Trump was claiming he was going to be arrested two days ago and calling for supporters to take the country back, he was also asking for as much as $3,300 from donors on his website.
It's also the psychology of causing resentment for perceived unfairness and the creation of martyrs.
Perhaps rescuing stray animals and building kids' playgrounds might do something towards breaking the cycle of disempowerment, rather than maintain it.
Something that might make a difference between our thoughts is that for nearly half of my life I've lived in areas where you could get a landline phone call if the river was about to burst it's banks.
When I was initially offered the service, I think you had to pay for it and I was just starting out in life at the time. Getting a warning to save yourself/your family/your documents and wallet seemed to depend upon your means.
In one house that I lived in for 15 years, I was about a meter too high to get flooded. The river could get to within meters of my house and the fields on the other side would literally look like the sea for as far as the eye could see. It was remarkably disconcerting and overwhelming, but the geography of the land was such that several other villages would have to completely disappear under water before it got that extra few meters to my front door.
I can't imagine what it's like when more devastating, or life-threatening flooding occurs.
I agree with the right to choice, but choosing for the sake of it even if it could be detrimental to myself, or others doesn't seem like a good strategy to me. It's not like we're short of banners to wave.
There is no one right, or wrong answer, but what you should do in response to the complaint is likely to involve several stages for the best outcome.
You're the first person to highlight the stage of finding out what the staff did.
As the business owner your records show that the parcel wasn't dispatched until Friday, so the complaint is at least partially true. Finding out what's happening on your shop floor should be the next step: Were unfresh items being dispatched? If so, where are the unfresh meals coming from? Were parcels packed with fragile items underneath heavy items? Why was the parcel not dispatched until Friday, too late for the Saturday midday delivery?
What is the next stage after checking what might have gone wrong in your own business?
I had various part time jobs working in pharmacies when I was at school and college. At the time tablets/capsules were 500mg salicylic acid and the dosage was one, or two every four hours.
Now you've reminded me, the 'mini' aspirin for angina is 75mg.
I don't get why dilating blood vessels would increase tinnitus, but I'll take your word for it. I think trying to google how that mechanism works might be a bit of a tall order.
Well done for refusing to shelve outdated products in real life.
Whilst you haven't answered the question as if you were the owner of the business, you're the first person to consider what the staff were doing that may have lead to the complaint.
I'm not sure if you can buy aspirin in the UK again. It was taken off the market about 30 years ago because of problems with intestinal bleeding. For a long time it was only prescribed in low doses for angina, or something of the like.
I certainly haven't had any since trying (rather unsuccessfully) to gargle with it as a small child because of chronic ENT infections.
What is most interesting so far is that the only person to write something involving interaction with the customer (apart from Itchy yelling shut up and eat your dinner) is Chesney.

Extra terrestrial communication.
That's a very good question.Are we seeking higher beings that with look after us, rather than us feeling alone, or feeling responsible for others?
