Time to go to sleep⊠night night lovelies!
Also: this is a âwewâ fashion shotâŠ
Photograph: Belfast teens wearing the latest teen fashion, 1974. These trousers were known as âparallelsâ, âhigh watersâ or âfloodsâ and had a short but extremely infectious heyday.
Nobody misses them.
We called them âdrag the riverâ and had a lot of fun seeing how our parents dressed. Of course they made fun of our holed jeans, lol.
I agree. Probably why theyâre models.
I really donât like pidgeons.
Why?
- They not scared of Zaera
- They pinch seed Zaera leaves for little birdies
- They repeat the same 15 notes over an over again just to annoy Zaera.
Now cats Zaera likes as once she chases them up a tree, they donât come back to eat Zaeraâs birdies.
The one on the right stands out as has rugged good looks and presence like Mick Jagger
No, they donât give you a plastic bag as it is bad for the environment, you will only use it once, and serves no specific purpose unlike the other pieces of plastic which serve the purpose to save you time and save some money to the manufacturer.
Loaf of bread: if bought and eaten daily it would not require any plastic. Here at home we have a literal bread bag made of cloth with strings to shut it and carry it.
A gallon of milk in a plastic jug: a light container for a lot of milk, hard to improve. In Europe itâs bought by litres in tetra packs who serve the purpose to extend its shelf life to three months which saves a lot of milk and packaging.
Paper napkins in a plastic wrap: idiots wonât buy them in paper wraps because âthey canât see themâ and any opening in the package means âtheyâre dirtyâ. Use textile napkins and wash them.
Store salad in a plastic tub: make your own salad at home from vegetables bought without packaging.
Plastic bottles of sauces: they used to be made of glass, but were expensive to make, procure, store and transport even if they were single-use rather than reusable. Also not being skishable made them harder to serve from.
Disposable plastic bag: seriously, how hard is to bring your own bag? Asnwer: hard enough to damage the business of shops not catering to lazy customers. My grandmother used to go buy with a wicker basket with the inside lined in cloth, those things could last well over 10 years of weekly use.
A lot of people used plastic bags from the store to put trash in and then put them in big trash plastic bags.
Also, plastic store bags ânoâ, but plastic trash bags âyesâ, as long as they are bought in store.
I do bring my own bags. Theyâre sturdier than plastic bags and prettier too.
My grandparents did too and my parents prefered regular bags over the plastic ones because they became thinner and thinner until they became unusable.
I donât use any of my plastic bags just once. I use transparent plastic bags only, and once Iâve brought them home they are used for plant propagation and as seedling domes. All my plastic bags get used multiple times over until they get holes in which case they will no longer serve their purpose.
Plastic is bad for the environment, but the problem is so bad that cutting the use of a few plastic bags is not gonna make much difference. It needs to be stopped on industrial scale. Additionally, scientists have developed certain fungi or something that actually do break down plastic molecules. So, itâs not as hopeless as it looks, although we might all be dead from plastic in our brains before those fungi get applied on a global scale.

Also: huh⊠what the purple�
Photograph: Michael Caine and Geraldine Moffat pose for a publicity shot during the filming of Get Carter (1970)
That gown doesnât even have lower buttons, so it was meant to be worn like this? Maybe was custom made for Ms. Moffat (who played some kind of sex worker in the film, IIRC)?
(Then thereâs the panties. The laced up panties. The purple laced up pantiesâŠ)
Iâm more worried about the shotgun in Michaelâs hand 
He doesnât seem too happy. Iâd be careful if I were her.
Great motion picture.
Crows, not pigeons. 
Long story short ,
/ nope 
I actually passed out tonight.
You typed that you are agoraphobic
I can relate to your fears and am willing to share with you a possible solution.
Alcohol
Will not probe you other through express your bravery.
@Chad_Frostpacker Iâm not brave. Iâm scared of the ugly bugs and psychoes in the streets.
I donât touch alcohol but maybe once a year and itâs usually fruited beers with 2.5 to 5.2 alcohol content. Lindemans PĂȘcheresse or Kriek. I donât like feeling like Iâm not in control of myself.
Iâm sure you have not many people are able to relate to this because they donât understand fully.
/ somehow too much information is not neededâŠ
I understand what youâre going through. I about went through the same thing few years ago before I got diagnosed with Bipolarity. It covers quite a few pathologies like Paranoia, Mood Deregulation, Manic/Hypomanic bouts, Depression, Cyclothemic Temperment, Psychotic episodesâŠ
I see a psychiatrist too, for about 3 years now. His first name is also Michael, although yours is his last name. I donât doubt that you understand some of what I used to go through. Iâm just glad the doctor is treating me well and I havenât had a manic episode for over a year now.
I wish you the same, Chad. I hope your doctor can identify the main problem and treat it. My main problem was constant abuse when I was a child.
You are better than giving in to alcohol. It only aggravates your condition. If you want help, please start by helping yourself and dump the booze.
Frosty has a death wish.
If he did not, he would do everything he could to quit drinking and vow never to touch the stuff again.
Strength is attractive Frosty, show Zaera that you can do it.
