I'm already doing it voluntarily. It seems like common sense and the patriotic thing to do, really.

Not flag waving patriotic, neighborly patriotic. Realizing that things are bigger than personal wants and desires at the moment, and that our actions, no matter how small individually, can make a collective impact.

. . . I picked a hell of a time to cancel Netflix though.

Man, I got an email from Netflix saying "please come back", and learned I had somehow cancelled my membership. So I went to re-do it and they wouldn't accept my card. Or my partners. For like three days we tried to give them money and I gave up.

However, my family latch onto my account like baby possums so they noticed the lack of Netflix. Mum eventually tried her hand and her card was rejected under my account, so she made her own account.

Now I am the baby possum.
