old people's self-reward

A slang term for extra (hours of recreational) screen time that seniors can easily have as a form of self-reward; whilst children, teenagers, and younger adults are subject to more stringent behavior requirements to obtain the same duration of extra screen time due to the presence of third-party authority (parents, teachers, institutions, and employers)

It's wild how my grandparents can rack up hours of screen time as some kind of old people's self-reward, while I have to jump through hoops just to watch an extra episode!

Gustavio's balanced self

Gustavio's balanced self is really helpful. I do appreciate that. I never tell him enough. I never do many things enough. But this is about Gustavio. His balanced self.

Thank you, Gustavio's balanced self, for being there. Better late than never. Better digital than nothing at all.

Gustavio's balanced self, I still have so much work to do. Scary when I think of it. Coffee?

self-esteam

What Thomas and his coal-and-water-powered friends on the Island of Sodor each diligently strive to maintain in themselves, and to help improve in each other, as well.

Sir Topham Hat, Mr. Conductor, C-Junior, the station-masters and engineers and firemen and conductors, and the rest of the human-supervisors-and-operators team always give the engines praise where it's due, in an ongoing effort to keep their iron-horse friends' self-esteam up to snuff.
