I don’t put stock in the paranormal/ supernatural, but I’ve seen every one of those movies, and I know that if you try to get out of the situation, you’ll end up in an even worse Rube Goldberg machine of death.

Do you open shipping boxes on your desk? I’ve gotten things from ppl (Etsy, Ebay) in reused boxes and have had random detritus fall out of them from whatever the sender had been storing in them. So it could be from jewelry, just not your jewelry.

Also, I saw an eagle try to catch a snake once, and the snake was a constrictor. The snake wrapped itself around the eagle, grounding it. Neither were letting go, neither were going to survive. It was pretty metal, and it wasn’t beautiful. Definitely grotesque and brutal.

Dead and desiccated bodies around a body of water that has dried up. Fish, antelope, wildebeest, etc.

I could make an argument that Director of Development positions at community charities would fit a Robin Hood role. They aren’t fundraisers, they are tasked with schmoozing and convincing rich folk to hand over large sums “to leave a legacy”. And then the charity turns around and helps whatever group of less fortunate they feel mission-driven to help.

Begging doesn’t really work for the big dollars. You have to use psychology, and that can be twisted to appear as manipulating/robbing the rich.

Or at the top of the stairs/ escalator you just came up. There are people behind you with nowhere to go while you decide which way you want to go.

Elvis Presley dancing was considered borderline obscene not that long ago comparatively, so you might end up in the sanitarium if you said “hey, watch me floss!”

Hehe

Oof. I do this to my sweetie. Thank you for the reminder to work on that some more.

Is lazy town classified as a cartoon? It’s certainly in fever dream territory, no argument there.

Bluevine is a great online bank for new LLCs. It’s free. It’s easy to set up accounts. You can get a debit card. They will send you 200 free checks a year (upon request). I’ve used them for 2 of my LLCs and a nonprofit.

Don’t worry so much about interest rates right now. You’re just trying to get established. Once you have banked enough for operating costs for whatever joint maintenance there is, you can turn your attention to how you invest any surplus.

Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can’t stop binging it.

My mom and her calico would play tag. It started as peek-a-boo where she hid and the cat stalked her, but then kitty would run off and wanted to be stalked back. When either one was found, you had to go “boo!” with spooky claw fingers.

I think we’d compile a shorter list if we tried to name wholesome, respectable companies.
