#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line
putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

KinnPorsche rewatch thoughts, ep1 part 2:
Porsche giving Jom's name was like, 50/50 "yeah sure you're sending a gift basket, you'll never find me because my name's not Jom"/" wouldn't it be hilarious if Jom just got a gift basket for no reason"
Kinn's 😏 face when he tells Korn he "sent gifts" to the Italians 😂😂😂
Chay really thought he was gonna get a celebratory beer with his pizza, then Porsche gives him like, milk, lol
Porsche is still chewing his stolen snack when he learns that someone was looking for Jom, so his dawning horror is happening with little chipmunk cheeks
How many of those model agency cards did Kinn have made? Does Thai Vistaprint offer those discounts on 500 business card bundles?
Porsche, you cannot be mad at Chay's poop joke, mister "retaliation fart"; that boy gets his potty humor from his big brother
Even before he was a high class bodyguard, everyone still came to Porsche when there was a potential problem ("there's someone in the bar for Yok")
Kinn is so dramatic, lol 4 bodyguards in matching black suits, Kinn at the end of the bar in white and grey. "You think I'm low class mafia? No, silly man, I'm top tier Mafia."
Yok, that's your future son in law, dial back that flirt (jk, you're perfect, never change)
Kinn, drinking the cocktail Porsche made him and flirting by making threats: "wow, bitter then sweet, just like me" *nod of approval*
Tumblr media
Porsche is the most annoyed kidnapping victim in history
Kinn saw how many buttons Porsche had undone, and he Knew, okay? He just Knew
Tumblr media
The suit is actually ombre, I totally forgot. Such a fashionista our Kinn
They are *vicious* with each other in this fight. Love it. Hair pulling and biting… soon enough, they'll realize they've Discovered Things about each other, and themselves
Porsche's level of annoyance with Kinn waving his gun around and being demanding really sets the tone for their while relationship, huh? Kinn is into it (see his face? That man is Intrigued)
Tumblr media
Korn is matchmaking so hard
Porsche's face when he learns about his uncle's betrayal 😭😭😭
Porsche's face when he realizes he's going to have to work for the Mafia to save his family 😭😭😭😭😭
Chay accidentally started the self sacrifice Olympics, but Porsche is like "I'm a gold medalist, bro" These two love each other SO MUCH *sobbing*
Porsche cleaned the whole house before he left 😥
Chay knew Porsche was going to do something stupid, and now he has that letter and Porsche obviously did the stupid thing, but you can see Chay struggle to convince himself that his big brother is safe and happy 😭
Ken's tracksuit.
Big is such a Kinn fanboy. Chill, dude
Korn looks… genuinely sad when Porsche says "to hell with happiness"
Porsche: actually, y'know what would make me happy? Bossing those two assholes around
Korn: that's hilarious, anything for you
Kinn: dad, wtf?
Big and Ken: 🤬🤬🤬???

Classic Loki fluff alphabet
The first fluff alphabet. I had to Frankenstein this together out of other alphabet posts to get something that I was happy with. I omitted several letters since I've covered similar things in my headcanons
Tumblr media
B = Beauty (What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?)
Classic Loki admires your sheer resilience. Surviving in the Void isn't easy especially when you have to put up with a group of Loki variants
C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
He's the big spoon 99% of the time
D = Dreams (How do they picture their future with their s/o?)
He doesn't really care where you end up just as long as you're together
E= Equal (Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?)
It's a 50/50 partnership between you two. You both make absolutely certain of that
F = Family (do they want one?)
He has one already, it's you, him, Kid Loki and Alligator Loki. Boastful Loki was a part of it, but that didn't work out so well
G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)
He loves it, it's just another way to show affection. He picks up any gift he thinks you'll like while scavenging
H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)
He's not much of a handholder most of the time. He'll do it in the bedroom or if you're privately sitting together
J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?)
No, he's confident in your relationship and he trusts you
K = Kiss (Are they a good kisser?)
He has years of experience backing him up and he puts it to good use
L = Love Confession (How would they confess to their s/o?)
It took Loki a while to confess, he was originally afraid of rejection but he eventually bit the bullet and confessed after a few cups of wine
N = Nicknames (What do they call their s/o?)
Love and darling are the most common but occasionally he uses sweetheart
O = On Cloud Nine (What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious to others?)
It's obvious to all of the variants around him, he does things for you he couldn't be bothered to do for the others
Q = Quirk (Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.)
His magic comes in handy frequently and he's very proud of that
S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)
Loki is actually very upfront with you and he expects the same from you
T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)
It took a while for you to officially be together, to the point that the other variants were getting fed up with how long it was taking
U = Understanding (How good do they know their partner?)
He knows how to read people well to begin with, add that with the length of time you've been together and he knows you front to back
V = Value (How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?)
It's one of the most important things he has next to Kid Loki. He treasures your relationship
W = Wild Card (A random Fluff Headcanon.)
He'll help you get dressed for the day. He hands you your clothes and if you wear makeup then he gets everything set out in advance
X = XOXO (Are they very affectionate?)
He's pretty affectionate in private. He tries to stay near you in some way
Z = Zeal (Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind?)
He will fight, kill and die for you but most importantly, he'll live for you

I Was Born To Love You- Part six
Such an overwhelming amount of support for this series! I’m almost done writing it, I’m on Part 9 and I think I’ll try to end it there. Maybe one more. I have some ideas for the ending, but who knows! Thank you all so much xx
Summary: Leah goes home to a shocking surprise. Flash forward and she’s 7 months pregnant.
Warnings: death of a dog, adultry, lots of tension.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three weeks had passed since the party, and the next thing we knew, we were done with filming Live Aid. The guys did wonderful, but I was ready to see my little baby again. I missed Lola so much. The flight back was full of jittery guys, and and excited Lucy who never left my side. The absence of the baby daddy drove her into protective mode. She and I became very close throughout the weeks.
Once the plane landed, I drove everyone home, taking the rest of the next few days off. Bryan wanted me to get my new motherhood life situated before I came back. Two days was plenty for me. I was only about 6 weeks pregnant, so I wasn't showing yet. Austin's car was in the drive way, which was weird because he's usually at work at this hour. I opened the door, greeted by silence. Where's Lola? "Darling, I'm home," I said, setting my stuff on the coffee table. I looked in the kitchen and living room, Lola was no where to be found. I went into my bedroom to find a sleeping Austin. I smiled at the thought, but I quickly went away, I remembered what I had to do. I knocked at the door as he sprung up. "Leah," He said, getting up and wrapping himself with sheets. "You're home early," He said, not breaking eye contact.
I looked behind him to the bathroom door. Someone was in there. God this cannot be. My heart sank. I gave up. "Who's in there?" I said, defeatedly. He looked down in shame. "Shelly," He said. I threw my hands up in a I-should-have-known way. I walked out, as he chased behind me. "Dear, come back let me explain." He said. I held my forehead, looking at him. "I want a divorce. I have some lawyers in mind. Keep the house. But where is my dog?" I said, not looking at him. He looked around. "I didn't tell you?" He said. "No, you hadn't called me for an entire month. Where's my dog?" I said, angrily. "She, she died. She was struck by a car." He said, as if I should have known that. My heart was no longer in my chest. It had exploded. My baby, my life. "How could you have not told me?" I said, very quietly, crying to myself.
I left the house, getting into my car. I sat there and sobbed. I called Brian. "Hello, dear! How are you?" He said. I found a break in between sobs to tell him what happened. "I'll get you the number to a really good divorce lawyer. You'll be able to walk away with everything." He said. I shook my head. "I don't- want- everything!" I half way screamed. "I'm pregnant- with a baby- who's father- doesn't want us!" I said. "Drive to the studio. Roger and I are up here working on some stuff, we will find you a place to stay." He said. "But calm down first. Everything will be okay. Stay on the phone with me until you get here.
It took a bit, but I calmed myself down, enough to drive. "Okay, I'm on my way there." I said. I drove off.
I was there in about 15 minutes, walking in. I was a complete mess. All of the guys where there, including Lucy. They all wrapped their arms around me. As loved as I was, I had never felt more betrayed in my life. My heart ached. My dog was gone for god knows how long. The only good thing happening was my baby. I felt my face in a familiar chest. Ben's. I held onto him so tight and just let it out.
-6 months later-
I stayed with Brian and Roger for a few weeks before I found my own place. It was a very nice house. Still one story, but it had a basement, it was pretty big, a pool. And I had it all to myself. I really didn't mind living alone, it was actually kind of nice. Ben was with me all the time, helping me with the house and taking care of my crazy pregnancy needs, coming with me to the doctor appointments. The only problem being, the media thought this baby was his. The divorce was near finalized as he still hadn't signed the papers. I was 7 months pregnant. I started to enjoy the silence. But at one point or anther, I missed my girl very much. I called up Ben on this day.
"Hey, so I think I want to get a dog. Come with me to the Shelter?" I asked him. We all had Sunday's off. "Absolutely! I love dogs." He said. "Alright, I'll pick you up in about thirty minutes or so." I said, with that I started to get ready. Being pregnant in the fall is hard. I just bought these new maternity jeans, and a shirt that showed my bump. I had to say, this pregnancy was going well. The baby has been super active the entire time. But I'm sure it's a girl. I put on some comfy slip ons and left to get him.
We got to the shelter and I explained how I wanted a dog of any size. I told them about my house size, yard size and occupation. "Well, Mrs. Hardy," she said, she recognized Ben. I guess she didn’t know that wasn’t his real last name. I raised my eye brows and I was about to correct her, when she spoke again. "I have the perfect set in mind. Follow me." She said. We walked through the loud barking of dogs, once we got to a pair of border collie Siberian husky mix pups. "Two?" I said, questionably. "Well it sounds like you'll be gone a good amount, you'll want to make sure they have company so they don't get lonely. They're very smart and protective dogs," she continued, patting my belly. "And your house size sounds perfect for them." She finished. I smiled, she knew how to tug at my heart strings. "The price is around $500. But you'll be getting two-" "I'll take them!" I said eagerly. She laughed, as we filled out the paperwork.
"I'm very happy for the two of you," she said. I let it slide again. The thought wouldn't kill anyone, would it? The two beauty's came with leashes. Ben held the both of them as we buckled in. "Where to now?" He said, fighting his giggles back as the pups liked his face. "Doggie store!" I said, driving off. We got to my favorite store, 'Mulers'. It was an animal company that fought against animal cruelty. 50% of their earnings a year went to finding good homes for animals throughout California. They had organic treats, you were able to read exactly what you were feeding your dog, natural dog soaps, things if that nature. Sure it was expensive, but it was worth it. We let the pups out, and walked in. "Let's put them in the cart!" Ben said. He put them both in like little babies. One of them was black, white and silver, with a green eye and a brown eye. He was a boy. The other was all black with white around her eyes and belly. She has two bright blue eyes, but she was deaf. He looked cute with them. I couldn't help but to snap a picture with my phone. I posted on my Instagram.
"Welcome to the family! What should I name these beauties? Boy is on the left, girl on the right!"
Within minutes, comments of names emerged. I smiled at some of them, but I put my phone away. "How much do you have to spend?" He asked. "We will see. I had an extra thousand to spend from my last pay check, plus the money I'm getting from the divorce." He helped me pick out dog beds, with cages, puppy pads, little dog cloths, all things of that sorts. I had to put them in the cutest little shirts that said "Mommy's little diva" and "mommy's little prince". I held them with their backs facing out, as Ben snapped a picture himself. He posted it on his Instagram.
"Look who added to the family! @Joe_Mazello when can we start our own family?!?"
All of the young girls were a bit jealous, but I know they'll be okay. "I love them!" I said, putting them back. I picked out some dog food, a few different treats, some dishes and toys, and we were on our way. As I pulled into my drive way, I saw a lot of cars parked. My drive way was rather large, there was a spot titled "The Mother To Be". I giggled. "What's this?" I said. I took the girl pup, and Ben held the boy and we walked in. A group of balloons and confetti surprised me. I laughed at the startle. "You guys! You shouldn't have!" I said. Lucy approached me. "And who is this?" She said, holding the pup. She lost her mind when Ben walked in with the other. I laughed at her reaction to the two pups.
My closest friends threw me a baby shower. Lucy, still holding one of the pups, sat me on their make shift "Throne" (which was just a rocking chair they had gotten me), and placed a rather large crown on my head, with nipples sticking up, and she placed a sash on me that said "Soon to be mommy". I was so happy, this was so amazing. They had gotten me gift cards to places for paint, and baby stores to decorate the room whenever I decided I was ready to do that. They got me a changing table, crib, carrier, car seat, all of it was so beautiful. Lucy walked up to me, sneakily whispering in my ear. "I did a little snooping, and..." they brought out a box. I hadn't even thought about the gender, but I did really want to know. I don't even want to know how she got it.
Rami started to record. "Start!" He said. I giggled, standing up- or attempting to with the aid of Lucy- and wobbled to the box. "Before you open it, what do you think it is?" I heard Gwilym say. "Mmmm, I really think it's a girl. Every dream I've had it was a girl, so I think girl." Everyone had their bets, as it was displayed on the chalk board. Most thought it was a girl, too. I slowly cut the tape off, and opened it as different shades of blue appeared, balloons, all of it. It was a boy. I was having a boy. I started crying, happy tears. While I thought it was a girl, I felt so blessed to be carrying a little baby boy in my belly.
Lucy hugged me. "I'm so happy for you , Leah!" She said. The furniture that had already been bought was unisex, so it was up to you for decorations. As the party winded down, the guys had cleaned up, and everyone left, you held Bens hand as he started to leave. "Stay," I said. "For a little longer." He nodded. "So where's the nursery going to be?" He asked. I guided him down the hallway, the very last room. It was pretty big, had a rather large closet, and big windows. It was facing the back, though, so no one could see into his room. He smiled, walking in. "If I know your taste," He started. "The chair is going to go, here," he said pointing to an area that was surrounded you windows. I laughed, nodding, as I started to rub my belly. "And his crib will go, here, of course." He said, pointing against the wall. I smiled, nodding again, and walked in. My smile dropped. While I knew I had help by the dial of a phone, I could shake the feeling that I was alone. He could see it. He wrapped his arms around me, attempting to comfort me. "Hey, it'll be alright. This baby will be so loved, and I'm sure you'll met a man who will treat him like he was his own son. Hell, I'll teach him how to play catch. Brian can teach him how to sing-" I stopped him, pressing my lips against his. His hands held my elbows, as mine held his waist.
I pulled back, looking down. "I'm sorry," I said. He smiled. "It's alright, love. I was wondering when that was going to happen." He said. I took a deep breath, and cleared my throat. "I'm feeling a bit tired," I said. "Let me stay with you. You seem like you need a friend." Friend. Yes I needed him. But not like a friend. Something in me so wished this baby was his. I nodded. He had some cloths here from times that he and the guys got drunk and had to stay here. So he changed into what he had here, as did I, which was just a Queen t-shirt and shorts, and we both brushed our teeth. We walked into my room, boxes still packed up from the move, but I just never found the time to unpack them. My bed was across a wall of windows. It started to storm, which I liked the sound of rain when I slept, so I didn't mind. I maneuvered into the most comfortable position to sleep in, with my belly so big. Ben came up behind me, and wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my belly. It felt nice. Normal, really. He started to press kisses on my cheek and neck, which caused goose bumps to trail along my body. And we slept like that. All night.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE POSTS APPEALING BUT THERE'S FREE MONEY INVOLVED WHOOOH
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you sign up for Ibotta with my link in the next 4 days, WE ALL GET MONEY OUT OF IT.
I get 5 bucks for referring you
YOU get TEN bucks for redeeming an offer (literally already half of the withdrawn minimum)
And part of $100,000 for anyone who refers 2 people before the end of the month
LIKE Y'ALL
Okay so to get the free monies
1) Download Ibotta from either the Google Play Store or the... iStore??? I don't know Apple things.
2) Sign up for a free account and use my referral code yxpbaqu (a clickable link will also be in the reblog if you prefer!)
3) Add and redeem an offer for pretty much anything that isn't an "Any Brand/Item" rebate. (Because yeah about once a week you can get money back on literally any item you buy, just for the heck of it.) This will activate your account and add in not only your rebate amount, but also $10 if you do it before the week's out!! I would recommend either Chobani Simply and/or Yoplait Oui at Walmart, both of which are currently FREE AFTER REBATE, or picking up a Kinder Joy or two at CVS, 'cause you'll get 50 cents back each, and also now you've got Kinder toys without having to smuggle SQUAT.
4) Whenever you're ready, you can hook up your cute lil PayPal or Venmo account, and they'll send you your money! You can also get gift cards instead, and sometimes they'll give you extra money to do so (ie I was JUST offered a bonus two dollars to turn at least $20 into a Whole Foods gift card) Turn $100 into $110 by splitting your earnings up! :o
Like it's obviously not going to be an income level amount of monies, but this is what I've gotten back in a little over a year
Tumblr media
And keep in mind I'm dirt frickin broke all the time, so it's not like I'm one of those Suburbia USA moms that spends thousands of dollars a quarter on ~Foon n' Funsies LOL!~ and it just looks like a lot in return. That is actually a really decent part of my food budget. Most of that is from "Free After Offer," rebates, or rebates that paid for over half of an item or items because I combined them with sales, clearance, or coupons.
PLUS if you sign up with my referral, we'll be part of a team, too! Each month there are unlockable team bonuses consisting of two parts: Number of offers completed personally, and total dollar amount earned, team wide~ If the dollar amount refunded for the whole team is met, (and on my team it rarely isn't,) all you have to do is complete a few offers yourself to earn extra cash. There's usually 3 levels of this per month, with increasing rewards.
Tumblr media
Aaaaand I THINK that's it!
If you could sign up and redeem even one offer, it'd really help me out. Even like a 0.2% chunk of a hundred thousand is still $200.
Signal boosts are also super appreciated!
Now Let's Get This Bread Y'all!!!
Tumblr media
Figurative AND Literal!!

How to save money on holiday gifts
You have no time to waste if you want to dodge the typical holiday gifts because many Americans have the same idea this year. According to a recent survey, 50% of U.S. customers started their Christmas shopping in September or earlier, and over 40% expected it to begin in October and continue through Thanksgiving.
With these 4 simple steps, you can start shopping early and reduce your overall holiday stress:
1.Collect ideas:
Keep a running list of holiday gifts ideas throughout the year. Gift ideas will frequently appear during the year, only to be forgotten by the time the holidays arrive. It's likely that the phone you carry with you can be used to record gift ideas whenever and wherever they arise.
Take the time early in the year to get gift idea tips. This has the extra benefit of making your recipient forget about the suggestion by the time the holidays arrive.
2.Set your budget:
Examine the holiday gifts suggestions and make a comparison to your gift budget. (If you don't already have one, make one as soon as possible.) You can define target sale price ranges for all of the gifts on your list this way. If an item is never reduced to a reasonable discount price, you still have time to find another gift idea that you can afford. According to a survey, Americans intend to spend $862 on holiday presents this year, up 5% over last year's spending. That isn't to say you have to keep up with the Joneses and spend more money.
3.Research the prices:
Tumblr media
For both in-store and online pricing, contact many businesses. Consider seasonal pricing and look for off-season deals if the items are seasonal. If you discover that your price predictions were overly optimistic, alter your goal prices and rearrange your budget. Don't be fooled by sales signs that don't offer genuine discounts, or you'll find up charging more to your card than you can afford to pay off. Your credit may be harmed if you make late or missed payments.
4.Keep an eye on sales:
The most difficult part is over once you've completed the above homework. Now all you have to do is keep an eye on retailer deals and look for a discount that is at least as good as your desired price. Pounce on a good deal when you see one. Throughout the year, resist the desire to hunt for better and better holiday gifts offers.

My head has been full of music...
"Get in the bed and try to love someone"
He says pit.
But i do bed... It so much to me and makes me happy. Try.
It don't matter if i fail. I have a whole video in my head... Tree shot it... Bed full of us in clothes... Turns into a boxing ring. Tree should post it. For Chandler and all my children. It was 2008. I had amnesia. So many people loved me and were there for me after i wanted to kill myself. Because i had failed at the best parts of life and became normal.
Try. Try. Just Try. Don't have to be good at it. Give it a good start.
Just try. That was all i had to do. Try.
Just be in the bed and use that old heart.
No sex. No cuddles. No Nothing.
Just try to be yourself and no one else. Just give it all your go. Your best to be you.
That is what Rock told me.
I was on medication but my head was clear and the medicine induced happiness due to the raising of serotonin levels.
So i remember. How i happy i felt to be given that chance to be Me. How i was wanted and expected to only be myself as best as I could be. No matter what that was.
...
So NHRA i wanted to clarify, the $2500 match from me plus the $2500 match from the NHRA is for any employee
If you gotta scrape under the couch with a few friends to gather up the initial $2500 that's fine.
If you want to give out $200 per person that walks by a camera store any where in the world*. We have Abu that can assist you, free of charge to you. Magic Tree has been dying to get in on this, so he wants to pay the Abu.
So the Abu can assist you in any way to help you give your gifts of cash from the heart. Just let us know.
Alex, NHRA. Mark will tell Saint Luches whom will make a job posting for a specially selected group of Abu that are proud, honest and need this kind of job in their life. They were hand selected by the Tree and Alex will give an email to send your needs to and it goes straight to the tree whom will update and clarify your needs and post it in the system.
The Abu will get an email of the new website and log in so check that out hopefully you were selected.
So y'all get outta the bed and try to love someone.
*lucky for you i was given the gift of the Tree of Knowledge for my 2008 graduation present from the University of New Mexico. So you don't have to look up every camara shop in the world. The Tree of Knowledge will provide a list to each area Abu and hire Abu for each camera store. So you'll need to say "Saturdays is the day i want every week so it's consistent. So people can get rumors and go every week" or you say "i want to give the most randomly. I dont want to give to people that will come by again" So, tree Will calculate the future without changes or if he knows a change will occur in a certain area he will calculate those dates. So it takes less than a millisecond and he can do the whole world in that time and then less than 3 seconds later have the jobs all posted seperate.
So you just need to tell him where, how much, who and what you feel you want.
Like if camaras are your thing and you wanna help with diapers and be a consistent dollar supplier so you do every Sunday $10 from 6 am to 8 pm but you want to really help people randomly so yoh do $200 on the dates he says will be best at the times.
If your goal is to help keep camera shops in operation, then the Abu will notify the store clerk when a customer is making purchase to notify him/her and they will then give a card to apply to the bill to buy more accessories they were going to wait go buy later. Because waiting till they come out wirh a bag is great but letting them buy more that day while they're telling themselves why they have to wait to buy that one thing they crave but had to put back on the shelf...
That helps the shop keeper and changes the day dramatically for the shopper. Then they leave will a full package and the to do list is smaller -- get behind the lens and frame a bitch.
So if you would like the tree to decide for you you can allow that. If you want to be specific about the receivers or how it's going to be done you can do that. If you want him to brainstorm for you. He can and will.
I do require you do give away by your own hands. I am not going to list and bla bla rules I just want to remind you that's one of the reasons you want to do this.
To change a face. To change a day. For a moment in time be who you are, the best you can be.
So to have the Abu do it at the fee of $60 per hour the tree pays as i am under the deep hit man kill number and aren't paying all CIA Abu for extra events. The Tree has agreed to pay for Super Special Events in 2008. This falls under Chandler's Love Rule of never too much love in the world. So there's never too much money either.
It's additional impact of the gift of cash and love to have the Abu earn such a high amount to make people smile.
But its to impact the heart of each NHRA employee.
Steven Torrence. Greg Anderson. A few others already had heart attacks for lack of love.
Jason Line, Mark says, isn't doing to well. Hes about 9 months away from a coronary failure.
My anchors. They aren't only strong and wise. They also need love, too.
That's why I still have them in my Instagram news feed.. Some i could unfollow but others. I just couldn't. They needed love, too. For me it was evident.
So they most need to hand deliver gifts every work weekend.
The angry. The violent. Even if it's just $50 per person on The plane you have the airline attendant pass out with drinks. You will see and hear and feel the change within that plane. And its random but also slightly guided by God. Some greedy will miss their flight just because Jason Line was handing out $300 per person on a flight just to hear a smile in his heart.
And with the match there is plenty of money.
....
And any celebrity or rich person can join in a pledge of a lump sum to be divided. The $2500 or more is you to you. If they want to do a certain way or cause they can join in one already created or suggest to someone who hasn't yet figured out a way to do it or wants a change from the usual way they're using the Abu.
One of my kids, Jamamima, (jah-my-mah -- the a is a short a vowel sound. More like uh. Juh-my-muh would be better if you don't know the long and short vowels) posted the email to the tree so this way you can ask to join in. And if someone is brainstorming, the Tree of Knowledge can add your idea to someone He feels is a match to.
You can remain anonymous if you wish. Or let only the people you're working with (including the Abu) know who you are. Or let every One know. Or all the above according to Your level.
So email if you want the cards printed a certain way because that will change who you will pair with. If you want to have a photo background of the enablers of the free people in the world to not Rob banks then it changes who you will work with. Especially if you want a series of dinner photos and sight seeing photos.
What kind of cause you want. Schools. Children so near toy stores or museums or other child advertised places. Moms. Dads. Fire fighters. Hospitals. Lots of things can be bought online in a hospital. Now days if they're tired of hospital food, they can call up uber eats on a Visa gift card.
The particular style of gift giving you want. Every holiday a hospital in your favorite city. Or every 3rd Tuesday all children's hospitals in The world.
Or tree or NHRA employee choice.
How's it looking, now, Chandler?
