Just Remembered Shows Used To Have 20-25 Eps Per Season

My family dropped cable to save money and I find it difficult to describe the degree to which we all scrambled to find some way of watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve with Ryan Seacrest online at around 10:30 at night. We found a way, but the fear I felt before that was massive. I have watched the dcrnyewrs Every Single Year since I was born (though I was asleep for several of them). I don't know what will happen if I don't see it, but I have a theory:

IF I DO NOT SEE RYAN SEACREST'S UNSHAVEN, PERMASMILE, STRANGELY AWAKE FACE ALL OVER THE WALL FROM AT LEAST 11:45 PM ON DECEMBER 31 TO 12:05 AM JANUARY 1ST, THE YEAR WILL LOOP BACK ON ITSELF AND WE WILL GO THROUGH THE SAME ONE AGAIN.

So be glad we found it.

Seeing as how a dumb amount of villains had teamed up, this qualified as a worldwide disaster. After getting smacked at the watchtower, the Justice League realized they had to create a real plan. They weren't going to defeat this rapidly growing rendition of the League of Doom by brute force.

For want of a headquarters, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman had opted to meet in the batcave. Although Robin and the former robins understood the gravity of the situation, they saw no point in moping about it if they weren't allowed to join the meeting.

They instead amused themselves by having a many- way wrestling match in an adjacent room, with Barbara as the referee. It made a lot more noise than they thought.

"If we attack from the west-" CRASH!

"DIE FOUL BEAST!" (They tended to get a bit personal when wrestling.)

"DICK! JASON! TIM! DAMIAN! BARBARA! CASSANDRA! STEPH! QUIET!" Batman shouted for the fifth time.

"You have too many children," Flash said.

"That's not what matters right now," Batman replied, not even denying it. "We need a viable strategy- if everyone fights their own nemeses, we will know what to expect, but so will they."

A crash shook the wall. Most all of the sidekicks and former sidekicks were communicating in the odd, chirping language of their own invention by now. Cassandra screeched in an almost mocking tone, to which Barbara responded with a chastising chirrup. Cass tweeted apologetically.

Batman got up from his chair and stormed to the door. Slamming it open, he let loose a massive "SCREEEEEEECH!" followed by a rapid "SCRAW- CK CHKCKCHK- SSSSKCKCKS-" and a final "rrrrraAaAaAAAAaSKSCSKSCRA!"

Utter silence. Batman slid back into his seat. Green Lantern voiced the thought in everyone's mind.

"Bruce- you speak chirp language?"

Batman raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, of course. Didn't you know that?"

The average amount of days per month on which it rains where I'm from is 6 or 7. Today is rain day #24.

It's been raining off n' on round here all week. The lake is swallowing the beach and the calm, usually peaceful river is now class 5 rapids and impossible to hear yourself over. My grandpa's garden is prob gonna flood. The road is washed out and pavement is missing. Sand piled up so bad people can't leave their driveways. Flash flood warning. We're expecting another inch today. And here we are being sarcastic about it. New England, folks

HELPPPPPP Please, I'm begging can anyone help me with any amount?If you send me proof of donation, I will create artwork for you, even with up to 3 characters if you'd like. I took my cat to the vet today, and he has to stay overnight at the hospital. I can’t afford the full cost, and I need to pick him up tomorrow. Thankfully, he seems okay after a fall, but he still needs an X-ray to be sure everything’s alright.This is urgent I even gave up paying my rent just to prioritize this emergency. Any amount helps. Please, if you can, help us.

Unexpected perk of learning a second language: I get to judge characters' grammar on TV when they speak it, and it's always bad. Then I get to translate to my family and TELL them it was bad grammar.

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

Back when I was less familiar with batfamily stuff, I had no idea who the signal was. I would see him listed in stuff and think people were counting the bat signal for some reason. People would say "Duke" and I was like "why are they calling Dick that so much it's not his name" and I would see art with this weird yellow guy. Eventually I connected the dots and looked him up 😅
