I am going to an appt. across town, in part to get my meds refilled. I wasn’t paying attention and missed my stop, but I also overestimated the travel time required, and am on my way in the other direction with plenty of time to spare. 😸

      I thought I recognized your name - you were in my red lobster thread recently; the bankruptcy due to shrimp.

      ;-p

        Haha yeah. I really annoyed someone by joking around about shrimpfest in your thread. Man, it is super hard to convey tone in text. Hence overuse of “lol” or emoticons/emojis.

          You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If you try to convey tone and meaning, people get upset; if you just rely on context and the flow of conversation - well, that’s subjective and cultural in some cases.

          Memes are the key. Complex modern hieroglyphics that convey all meaning through image (and text descriptions spoken by ai computer voices for the blind)
