The Annual Re-education and Memorial thread
 

As we are all very stoopit, and need to be told tp get flu shots every year, and how to cook a turkey, and to change the batteries in our smoke detectors when we adjust our clocks for daylight savings, (those poor fuckers in Arizona must have a hell of a time remembering to do this) I wanted to start a thread where we can remind each other of things like this. This way we never have to look up from the cellar and turn on the news at all.

I'd like to start things off with a reminder to remember the losses we sustained on Sept 11, 2001. One a bit more poignantly than the rest, because it hit so close to home for us:

I am observing several moments of silence as I type this. I hope that you will too, my friends.

God Bless.

Was that a year ago that we started the "sister dying at WTC" meme? Wow, time flies.

MSNBC has been rerunning the initial NBC Today show coverage from that morning. Eerie. I'd hate to be somebody who turned that on without realizing that MSNBC was showing that stuff.

My Jeboduuza was goatse'd on 9/11 when snakes-in-a-can clogged up the treadmill.

remember to EAD Jimbo -

Made any sales on that?

I wouldn't buy it. There's dirt all over the letters.

Why should I listen to a dead guy?

I don't have to remember anything any longer because I put it into Google Calendar and then set up a reminder for myself. Like after today's dentist appointment I put in "March 17, 8:45AM, dentist appointment. It's St. Patrick's day so either wear green or remember to forget to brush teeth that morning". I'll get a Google nudge 3 days before. When you get old like me you will start relying on electronic post-its, too.

Three days before hand does me no good. I need a nudge 15 minutes before I need to do something.

Google calendar can do that. You can set the reminder for any number of minutes, hours or days. It can email you or even TXT you.

Yeah, but then it'll start TXTing you just because it's bored. And you can't break up with it because it know everything about you.

you are Google's bitch.

you would let Google give you a facial.

you are dressing up as Google this Halloween.

A Worf-style facial-- YAAARRRRRRGH! :splat:
