You may have won the genetic lottery there -- everyone's a little different. Also, you will see changes throughout your life, get ready for the roller-coaster now. It's all especially variable for a few years at the beginning and a few years at the end, but everything from pregnancy to stress to nutrition can result in changes right smack in the middle of your life, too.
As a young woman* I had severe depression with my cycle, but hormone treatments basically smooth out all those bumps. Irritable wasn't the word, ready to leap of bridges was more like it. I also suspect part of it's psycho-social, as you said, because depending on how bad it is, you can do things to affect it and make it better.
And the fellow's post above (below, wherever the hell it is) was interesting, too, in bringing up that it's quite difficult to be in touch enough with yourself to notice subtle changes in behavior that someone else might be able to see.
Good luck! I do hope you never develop the emotional affects, they're no fun!
*Holy crap, did I just write that? I'm only 30? I think I feel the depression coming back.
" similar as to how US kids today address adults as "Sir", etc. "
I must not see too many kids... there are really people out there using "Sir?" I'm genuinely curious, as I've never heard this happen except possibly in an ironic sense.
Speaking as someone who helped run donation sites for non-profits, the reason a lot of places don't take AmEx is because their fees (both transaction and monthly/yearly) are insanely high compared to the other cards. It's generally just a matter of doing the math.
At one place we actually took AmEx for a while, then reviewed it and realized that we weren't covering the fees with the gifts coming in through AmEx so we dropped it. If it were a more common card (or if the donors using it were giving a ton extra on average) and were paying for itself we would have probably kept it.
Coming in late to this conversation, but check out comments on news stories for places that require people to log in through Facebook to post. Our local paper did this, and the hope was that it would calm the conversation some. Heh, yeah, right. If anything it got worse.
Funny, my chickens love grass, to the point of chasing down the mower to eat the clippings (and yes, I have watched them to make sure they weren't just going after disturbed bugs -- they were eating the clippings). They'll happily eat it out of my hand, too. And they love all things vegetable. Cherry tomatoes are the best and result in games of chicken football (full contact).
I wouldn't bet on that. I had a Cocker Spaniel who's first response if you started yelling for help was to turn around and bite the person doing the yelling.
But then anything that looks as funny as an American Cocker probably shouldn't be taken seriously as a security dog anyway.
Up until I moved two months ago I had a real, honest to god, working original dial phone in the house I was living in. AND I knew how to dial it. AND I'm younger than 30.
I feel like I deserve some sort of recognition for that.
There actually are a number of sites out there hitting googleapis.com and googleusercontent.com, so depending on where you go, you can run into trouble. I run into it most on news sites, sometimes when registering for things (many places are using Google's captcha), and once in a while on forums, so it truly does depend on where you're headed as to whether you see it or not.
I find that RequestPolicy for Firefox makes it easy to pick and choose which sites are permitted to talk to Google without needing to deal with maintaining a host file.
If you know your egg source, there's not much danger in a raw egg. Only eat raw eggs that didn't get wet or crapped on first (both are obvious). I try to avoid eating them raw from the store because I simply don't know where they came from (and the salmonella recalls lately have been really common) and they've been cleaned and you can't tell which started out dirty. It is thought that very few eggs actually come out of the hen with the germs inside already (I think what I read was 1 in 20,000) so if you can arrange to get unwashed eggs and only eat the clean ones raw, you're golden.
And if you're like me and raise your own chickens... well, you breath in enough crap while you're cleaning the coop that it really doesn't matter what's in the damn eggs.
That would eventually tend toward juries made up of mostly 18-year-olds.
That said, though, I feel like they ought to at least give you X years between. So say you get the call and serve, you get 5 years off, get the call and get turned away after coming in you get 1 year off, and get the call but get turned away before you even have to come in and you're back in the pot.
Unfortunately I have run across plenty of cases where the numbers weren't an option. These are cases where they want you to say words to get to the next step e.g. "Say 'sales' for Sales", not "Say '9' for Sales." The worst is my credit card processor, though, which for some reason allows using the keypad, but only gets it right half the time when you do (how's that even possible to screw up that badly). It's actually more successful when you speak your number, oddly.
(And I should have made it clear that I wasn't only a lector and in theater, but that it was often stated that I was easy to understand in both cases -- especially in the lector case, where there are so many truly awful ones. But I thought that would have been assumed. If I was bad at either of them, I wouldn't have brought it up.)
I was in theater and a lector for a number of years -- these systems STILL never understand what I'm saying. Evidently I can do Shakespeare, but "Yes", "No" and the digits 0-9 ain't happenin'. A shame, too, since there are perfectly useful little buttons on your phone that have worked for ages to navigate a menu.
Emergency vehicle sirens have been improved? Really? That's interesting (and I mean that literally, not sarcastically.) The only thing I've noticed about the sirens lately is that I can't hear them at all until the squad is sitting in my back seat. I don't think I've gone *that* deaf in the last 10 years.
I think the point there was that grandpa croaked in the interim without someone else having discovered the files. Photos in a shoebox in the attic can be accessed after being forgotten for 20 years, they don't need to be reviewed every 6 months.

Unfortunately that screws over the women who don't want, and don't have kids. We're still stuck with the lower wage and we don't get the tax perk.
And there are plenty of us.
I swear I'm going to put your last sentence in huge letter on my wall. This, this, a million times this!
Got it wrong; chickens are omnivores. Pastured chickens eat bugs, grains, grass, small animals, seeds, and fruits.
Long-time keepers will tell you they're small dinosaurs -- translated: don't pass out in the hen house.

While we're on the on-upping...
Cinnamon rolls gave me appendicitis* Had one in the morning; was in the emergency room hours later.
Can't eat them to this day.
*Yes, I realize they didn't. I still can't eat them.

So in other words, we should nuke some place to turn back global warming? ;)
Which is better than what I do: rip the gear shift out and beat the spider to death.
"they will more than likely just eject you if you don't turn off your device."
That's be highly entertaining when coming in for a landing :)
Those exist. Or at least they did on the 8 planes I was on in the last month.

I thought we were talking about North Korea, not OSU fans.

More like you lose 100% of your paycheck and the price of goods goes UP 20%.
Savings just never seem to be passed on to anyone but the top management.
Why untangle? Just bring 'em all in in a big clump. They'll sit still better for afternoon lessons.
