We are scheduled to abandon DST on the night of 25-26th October 2026! It will be a great 54th birthday present (on the 26th)!
But we were scheduled before, so I'm not very confident.
But seriously, if we followed health official recommendations we would stay on standard time year-round. What the US government wants is year-round DST.
Debbie and the heels: She's a bit socially awkward. And she's making a transition from dressing up exclusively in jeans, oversized t-shirts, and sneakers to something more feminine. Meeting Maddie and Kim can be a "bad" influence, and she is sacrificing comfort for looks. She heard "Christmas party" and, obviously, overdressed. Who goes to the beach in heels???That's why Meemaw and Kate (the shortest girls) are in the same picture, for comparison.
Ice boxes: That phone number is from the US, right?
Realised/realized and similar words: IIRC (I'm at work right now and don't have access to the files), the only one who uses the British spelling for "realised" is Saira. And it's on purpose because she's Indian. She will also use Mummy (for Mommy, not the Egyptian thing), flavour, and other similar things.
The Lisa cat pose has a story in my mind. They will talk in the game about that photo and that pose.
Remember Emma and Lisa are the "visual artists" in the family. She was involved in taking the picture. And repeated it multiple times when there are so many people (someone shows up blinking, with a weird smile, etc. And there are 18 girls there, no one will accept being the only one not looking nice). It also has to do with Lisa accepting that image as the "family photo" instead of asking to repeat it once again. She's becoming comfortable enough to not be "perfect" in a picture and accepting it for the sake of the group.
Why that pose? What does she lack in her head? Exactly, the Santa hat. She was literally going to jump to get her hat when the camera shot.

Oh, shit! I saw the 1 800 and the commercial also talked about $75, and didn't count the rest of the numbers. It looks like it's an Aussie thing looking at their webpage now!

Oh yeah they've got a lot of their own rules. I figured it was the weird Mormons, which is what I was referencing when I said we don't talk about them.

Interesting on Lisa and Debbie - makes sense. And I didn't realize that Saira was speaking in a British accent - or that it was only being used for her. I'll have to remember that.
As for TechniIce, it may have an "800" number in the ad, but:
