U.S. sample size of 1 here. I don’t have any Christmas decorations up yet, but we have begun updating gift lists, purchasing some gifts (I monitor sales to find the actually decent ones for the 3-4 months prior, but don’t usually buy unless it’s really good), and we’ve watched a couple of Christmas-ish movies (Rise of the Guardians and Alien X-mas). We’ll put up our decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. Oh, and I keep an eye out for Christmas decorations we like for a decent price. Haven’t found any yet. Did fine a decent projector for half off. I suspect it’s really more like $40 off, but that’s decent. Haven’t bought it yet, though.

Who draws on plants?

Eventually they would likely resume trying to escape the shocks, but I do not support researching this. However, related studies show spontaneous recovery of responding once extinction is no longer in effect.

Maybe English isn’t their first luggage.

I love you people. My family, my friends, and then you people. You’re like the third leg of my sanity stool.

Why is anyone relying on reactions for anything important and/or time sensitive?

Also, even if you’re not getting your reaction summary email timely, you can look at the email you sent and see the reactions.

Also also, if I am scheduling something first thing and it’s late in the work day, I’m messaging the key people. To do otherwise seems like bad planning/choice making/trying to get out of meeting at that time. Alternatively, I would just send the invite as the first contact. At 8:59, if the key people hadn’t responded, cancel with the message, not everyone was able to meet. How about this date and time?
