So, I haven't been posting much because being an adult kinda sucks. But also because I've been working with Pnut. Working our asses off really. And it all paid off weekend before last. I'm still kind of in disbelief. I've been told for years that he wasn't good for anything besides glue and other such charming things. BUT! I've finally found a great facility and an amazing coach and now he's becoming the horse I knew he could be in my gut, only I didn't have the tools in my toolbox to get him to this point. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of writing, especially after the big USDF show in August. Thanks for everyone that's stuck around, I swear I'm not dead and I haven't run away lol.

One thing that eternally baffles me with people calling dog sports abusive, is how the offered alternative assumes that a dog is happiest when it is not doing anything.
Putting aside PETA and its anti-pet stance, most critique I have seen comes from people saying the dogs are forced to perform for humans and therefore its exploiting them.
But even a cursory understanding of dog breeds tells you this mentality is not only flawed but also ignorant of the needs of the animal.
For one, you cannot force a dog to do things most dog sports require. If a greyhound doesn't want to run, it won't. If a husky doesn't want to pull a sled, it won't. Have you ever seen a dog in a situation it doesn't like? Most of us have to drag our dogs to the vet and then try our best to mitigate the dog's displeasure towards the vet.
A dog who wants to do something like running or fetching will do it regardless of your opinion. That is why most of dog training is directing this want so the dog isn't destroying things or hurting people.
The breed or breed mix also affects things. If you get a chihuahua, the experience with that dog is completely different from a border collie or a husky. Heck, even closely related breeds like German shepherds and Belgian malinois are vastly different in their temperament and mentality. There is this call for ignorance and naivete in posts decrying dog sports, where breed doesn't exist and any kind of activity outside the home is harmful to the dog. Admitting that dogs have been bred for jobs is to admit that human contact is not always negative for animals and that is a bridge too far for many of these people. It also means that jobs such as ratting, hunting, protection and such are blissfully ignored or assumed to be forced by humans. This means that when a pampered terrier does maul the family guinea pig, the owner gets blamed for abusing the animals. Posts that tell you dog sports are evil are not made with the dogs in mind, they are made solely for an ideology that benefits humans who do not have to live with the animal in question and so can sit on their constructed high horse.

May, could you translate those headlines? Google translate is not helping much
Of course! Although you're probably getting a lesson in linguistics that you didn't ask for 😂 (post for reference)
La Gazzetta Dello Sport "Colpo rosso" = "Red hit / Hit in red" pretty self explanatory
Il Corriere Dello Sport "Lewis in rosso" = "Lewis in red" also pretty self explanatory
Tuttosport "Il Baronetto Rosso" = "the red baronet" absolute genius headline from them. It's a word play on Lewis being knighted and being addressed as Sir (in Italy knighthood is associated with the Republic "Cavaliere della Repubblica", whereas a baronet is also a peerage assigned by the Crown - I believe the Savoy royal family would assign that title instead of a knighthood when Italy was a monarchy, but I could be wrong! My Italian history needs some... Brushing up lmao), the infamous Red Baron, the German Ace of WW1 (a reference on Lewis also being a legendary "ace" who drives German machinery), and "red" being the color associated with Ferrari.
My favorite is the headline from La Stampa "Il Baronetto Rampante" = "The prancing baronet" (For the Lewis/Baronet association see above ⬆️). There is a pretty famous novel from Italian author Italo Calvino "Il Barone Rampante" (literal translation "The Rampant Baron") - in English the novel was published under the title "The Baron in the Trees" 💀 The newspaper headline is a play on Calvino's novel title, especially the prancing part. Everyone knows about "il Cavallino Rampante" ➡️ "the Prancing Horse" being Ferrari's symbol, so now we have our little prancing horse with the prancing baronet to go with it 🥺
Hope that makes sense!

His Last Bow
Hey Tumblr,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have 0 idea what happens in this story. Kind of hoping it's a bit like Curtain, the last Poirot story, because that's a bop. Well, it's very depressing, but I love the solution. Although I also really hope it isn't, because then Agatha Christie would have copied that and I really don't want that to be the case.
I also really want ACD to have done something insanely over the top and decisive to make it really clear that this time there would be no retconning. Like... idk, the world being invaded by aliens. Sherlock Holmes stealing the crown jewels and being executed for treason. Mycroft turning out to have been a double agent all along and destroying the entire British Empire.
I'm no longer feverish, although my lungs are still trying to propel themselves out of my body in a way that keeps leaving me a little asphyxiated, so that's fun. But no jellyfishifters this time I expect. Or sea turtles... Yeah, Idk either.
It was nine o'clock at night upon the second of August—the most terrible August in the history of the world.
Oh Watson, you sweet summer child. I bet I've seen worse Augusts. Even if Holmes does die in this one.
The sun had long set, but one blood-red gash like an open wound lay low in the distant west.
London... is now... a hellmouth?
Tumblr media
Are we not in London? Is that the city from a distance. Where are we? Why is the sky split open? What is going on?
The two famous Germans stood beside the stone parapet of the garden walk...
The only two famous Germans. Ever. You know... those two.
Oh, so we're actually in the 'Sherlock is a spy' period. Weirdly I assumed that that was only going to be referenced. But no, we're actually going there.
Tumblr media
So the red line is... the war front?
One of these was his present companion, Baron Von Herling, the chief secretary of the legation, whose huge 100-horse-power Benz car was blocking the country lane as it waited to waft its owner back to London.
Is the Baron compensating for something? Maybe.
But we're not in London and we're not near the war front, so... what is that red slash in the sky. Is it London?
This is probably not the mystery I am meant to be trying to solve. I should pay more attention to the espionage and less to the environs.
“They are not very hard to deceive,” he remarked. “A more docile, simple folk could not be imagined.”
Someone has not been down the pub when the home team is playing. Hoo boy. Docile is not a word I would use...
Tumblr media
"One's first impression is that they are entirely soft. Then one comes suddenly upon something very hard, and you know that you have reached the limit and must adapt yourself to the fact."
That is, indeed, what she said.
“Meaning British prejudice in all its queer manifestations."
Oh boy. I don't think you mean what I'd mean by those words, but yet you have still brought upon me a great sense of national shame and wincing.
Tumblr media
"I was invited to a week-end gathering at the country house of a cabinet minister. The conversation was amazingly indiscreet.”
Given the general level of OpSec shown by government workers, bankers, and just... everyone within these stories, I cannot say that this surprises me. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. The majority of government people we have met have been entire and total imbeciles in the matter of privacy, data protection and general best practices regarding secrecy.
“No, no, don't call it a pose. A pose is an artificial thing. This is quite natural. I am a born sportsman. I enjoy it.”
Ugh, I hate this guy.
“And all the time this quiet country house of yours is the centre of half the mischief in England, and the sporting squire the most astute secret-service man in Europe. Genius, my dear Von Bork—genius!”
I will say, they're commenting on other people not being discreet, and here they are just laying out everything without even a hint of subtlety. Using people's names. confirming their identities, confirming their true purposes. Unless this, in itself, is a subterfuge... They're not at a party, at least, I suppose.
“You flatter me, Baron. But certainly I may claim my four years in this country have not been unproductive. I've never shown you my little store. Would you mind stepping in for a moment?”
This all feels very Cask of Amontillado, don't you think?
Is Van Bork Sherlock?
He then closed the door behind the bulky form which followed him and carefully adjusted the heavy curtain over the latticed window. Only when all these precautions had been taken and tested did he turn his sunburned aquiline face to his guest.
Oh. My. God. Did someone just use basic security protocols to prevent someone from listening or looking in on them? Be still my beating heart. I might faint.
Tumblr media
I am so confused about who is speaking right now. I need more dialogue tags. I have lost track. These two have merged into one very confused spy with multiple personalities. Or maybe just two heads. I don't know.
“Out of date and waste paper. The Admiralty in some way got the alarm and every code has been changed."
If that wasn't Sherlock or Mycroft, then I don't know who it was because every time the Admiralty has been in these stories they have been incompetent to the point of deliberate treason.
Will come without fail to-night and bring new sparking plugs. — —Altamont.
Is Altamont Holmes?
“You see he poses as a motor expert and I keep a full garage. In our code everything likely to come up is named after some spare part. If he talks of a radiator it is a battleship, of an oil pump a cruiser, and so on. Sparking plugs are naval signals.”
I take back that gif from earlier. Don't tell people the code words. Good grief, man! You've just compromised all of those phrases. I get that you're providing exposition for the audience, but still. STILL.
"I assure you that our most pan-Germanic Junker is a sucking dove in his feelings towards England as compared with a real bitter Irish-American.”
Fair.
...at a touch from the Baron's chauffeur the great car shivered and chuckled.
Is the car alive? I don't like this description.
Tumblr media
“Those are the lights of Harwich, I suppose,” said the secretary, pulling on his dust coat.
THANK YOU!
It's Harwich... No hellmouth, just Harwich. Mystery solved.
"The heavens, too, may not be quite so peaceful if all that the good Zeppelin promises us comes true."
Oh, you mean the bustle in the hedgerow? No... don't be alarmed about that. It's just a spring clean for the May Queen. Or if you're talking about the piper, he's just leading us to reason. It's really nothing to be worried about.
...beside it, seated at a table, was a dear old ruddy-faced woman in a country cap. She was bending over her knitting and stopping occasionally to stroke a large black cat upon a stool beside her. “That is Martha, the only servant I have left.” The secretary chuckled. “She might almost personify Britannia,” said he, “with her complete self-absorption and general air of comfortable somnolence."
Is Martha Holmes?
Honestly, that makes a lot of sense.
Or Holmes could be the kitty cat.
Tumblr media
It was a new experience to him, the silence and darkness of his widespread house, for his family and household had been a large one. It was a relief to him, however, to think that they were all in safety and that, but for that one old woman who had lingered in the kitchen, he had the whole place to himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DANCE PARTY TIME
“You can give me the glad hand to-night, mister,” he cried. “I'm bringing home the bacon at last.”“The signals?”“Same as I said in my cable. Every last one of them, semaphore, lamp code, Marconi—a copy, mind you, not the original."
No. No. No.
This is not how you do a treasonous handover of government secrets. I don't care how empty you think the goddamned house is. You don't say the actual thing. YOU USE THE CODEWORDS. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE CODES. YOU UTTER NUMPTIES!
Fuck you both. You're morons. What even is this? This isn't espionage. This is slapstick.
Good lord.
I... I despair.
I guess if you're this good at it, then it's no wonder that even the bloody Admiralty managed to get a clue.
Mycroft's probably been feeding you information for years, you muppets.
It's the incompetence that gets to me, it really is. If you're going to be moustache twirling evil German spies then at least have the self-respect and decency to be good at it.
This is pathetic.
Tumblr media
The Irish-American had entered the study and stretched his long limbs from the armchair. He was a tall, gaunt man of sixty, with clear-cut features and a small goatee beard which gave him a general resemblance to the caricatures of Uncle Sam. A half-smoked, sodden cigar hung from the corner of his mouth, and as he sat down he struck a match and relit it.
Oh yeah, this is Holmes, isn't it?
You couldn't even pretend to be good at being a traitor?
“So it's not quite as simple as you thought. It was four years ago that I had it made, and what do you think I chose for the word and figures?”
O
h
m
y
g
o
d
Tell me you're not about to do what I think you're about to do.
Please.
Tell me you have one braincell in your tiny head. PLEASE. You cannot be this dumb. YOU CANNOT BE!
“Well, I chose August for the word, and 1914 for the figures, and here we are.”
Tumblr media
And you're being dumb by trying to show off how smart you are. That's the worst kind.
“How could they have got on to Steiner?” he muttered. “That's the worst blow yet.”
You literally just told a man your safe combination. I don't know what to tell you, my dude. Maybe you're just bad at this.
Then he sat dazing for a moment in silent amazement at a small blue book which lay before him. Across the cover was printed in golden letters Practical Handbook of Bee Culture. Only for one instant did the master spy glare at this strangely irrelevant inscription. The next he was gripped at the back of his neck by a grasp of iron, and a chloroformed sponge was held in front of his writhing face.
Tumblr media
“Another glass, Watson!” said Mr. Sherlock Holmes as he extended the bottle of Imperial Tokay. The thickset chauffeur, who had seated himself by the table, pushed forward his glass with some eagerness.
Didn't call the chauffeur being Watson. Discounted him as Holmes for being too thickset. I guess since it's indicated Watson might have written this one I should have thought about Watson as well. Genuinely didn't think he'd be in this one, though.
"There is no one in the house except old Martha, who has played her part to admiration."
So Martha was working for Holmes this whole time. I think she wins the prize for being the best spy in the story.
"I shall no doubt reappear at Claridge's to-morrow as I was before this American stunt—I beg your pardon, Watson, my well of English seems to be permanently defiled—before this American job came my way.”
Oh no! Holmes used the word 'stunt' how scandalously unEnglish of him!
"The fact is, Watson, that this gentleman upon the sofa was a bit too good for our people."
Tumblr media
Guess the Admiralty is worse than even I gave them credit for.
The last remark was addressed to Von Bork himself, who after much gasping and blinking had lain quietly listening to Holmes's statement. He broke out now into a furious stream of German invective, his face convulsed with passion.
No... no... Holmes. You're not monologuing in front of the enemy prisoner. Don't do that. I believed in you.
"And yet I live and keep bees upon the South Downs.”
...don't tell him where you live...
I give up.
Tumblr media
“And most of that information came through you,” he cried. “What is it worth? What have I done? It is my ruin forever!” “It is certainly a little untrustworthy,” said Holmes. “It will require some checking and you have little time to check it. Your admiral may find the new guns rather larger than he expects, and the cruisers perhaps a trifle faster.”
god fucking dammit
Why are you telling him about the misinformation? The misinformation is meant to misinform. That's why it's called misinformation. You're undoing half of the work you did.
I... guys... guys, I just can't.
“My dear sir, if you did anything so foolish you would probably enlarge the two limited titles of our village inns by giving us ‘The Dangling Prussian’ as a signpost. The Englishman is a patient creature, but at present his temper is a little inflamed, and it would be as well not to try him too far."
Did he just threaten Van Bork with hanging. By referencing a possible pub name? A+ threat, but yikes.
The two friends chatted in intimate converse for a few minutes, recalling once again the days of the past, while their prisoner vainly wriggled to undo the bonds that held him.
They just... they just left him alone.
And went and had a chat.
I don't even know why I thought they'd drive him away immediately. Why would they?
Tumblr media
"I have a check for five hundred pounds which should be cashed early, for the drawer is quite capable of stopping it if he can.”
Such a weird line to end this on. OK then Holmes. Go cash your cheque.
And that was the last of the short stories... It didn't quite have the same poignancy as Curtain. But it certainly gave me a lot to talk about.
This has been a really fun year and I've loved writing these up - and spending far too long finding gifs and sometimes making my own memes when I couldn't find the precise thing I needed to say.
If you've read all of these, I have no idea why, but Hi! 2023 was certainly a year, wasn't it? Thanks to all of you. It's been really fun reading comments and learning things when people added to the notes to answer questions I'd asked.
I hear we're doing the novels next year. I have definitely actually read all of those. But I do get them all mixed up, and I will have forgotten a lot of them. I think I also signed up for another substack, but right now I can't even remember which one. That'll be a fun surprise.
Hope you all had a good, or at least not terrible, 2023. And I hope we all have a better 2024.
Happy (almost) New Year!

HRH Princess Benedikte's 80th birthday On Monday, April 29, 2024, HRH Princess Benedikte will celebrate her 80th birthday. The milestone will be marked with a series of official events, while the birthday itself will be celebrated privately with family and friends.
Tumblr media
Princess Benedikte was born during World War II during the reign of her grandfather, Christian X. The Princess is the second child of Crown Prince Frederik (IX) and Crown Princess Ingrid, and Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg was the setting for her upbringing. In 1946, her younger sister Princess Anne-Marie was born, and the following year her parents became the Danish King and Queen. Like her two sisters, the Princess completed her schooling at Zahle School in Copenhagen. Subsequently, Princess Benedikte studied first at Benenden School in Kent, England, and then Brillantmont Ecole in Lausanne, Switzerland. Later, Princess Benedikte completed her education with a course in dressmaking and design at the Margrethe School in 1965. At the age of 22, Princess Benedikte became engaged in March 1967 to Prince Richard zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. The wedding took place the following year in Fredensborg Palace Church. After the wedding, the couple settled in the northwestern German town of Bad Berleburg at Prince Richard's birthplace, Schloss Berleburg. Here, Princess Benedikte and Prince Richard became parents to His Highness Prince Gustav in 1969, Her Highness Princess Alexandra in 1970 and Her Highness Princess Nathalie five years later. After 49 years of marriage, Prince Richard passed away in 2017.
The birthday will officially be marked with the following events: April 19: Birthday dinner at Sølyst The Friends of Dressage and a number of Princess Benedikte's equestrian patronages have joined forces to mark Her Royal Highness's 80th birthday with a dinner at Sølyst. Throughout much of her life, Princess Benedikte has been interested in equestrian sports and horses, and since 1992 the Princess has been patron of the Danish Equestrian Federation. In addition, the Princess is patron of Danish Warmblood, Hestens Værn and the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. April 24th: Official opening of the exhibition "Princess Dresses" at Koldinghus As honorary patron of the Royal Collection at Koldinghus, Princess Benedikte will open the exhibition "Princess Dresses" on the occasion of her 80th birthday. On display is a selection of the Princess's gala dresses, which have been created by Jørgen Bender over the years. More than 20 dresses are on display, ranging from birthday dresses, a silver wedding dress, a selection of party dresses to a maternity dress and the Princess's bridal gown. In addition to giving an insight into Jørgen Bender's detailed craftsmanship, the exhibition also provides a view of four decades of fashion history, as the selection was created between 1968 and 1999. May 2: The Princess hosts a reception for her patrons at Rosenborg Palace In the Great Hall at Rosenborg Palace, Princess Benedikte will host a reception for the Princess's patrons and others. Princess Benedikte is patron of a number of Danish and foreign organizations that work within humanitarian or artistic purposes or sports.

15. dream job? no job. i wish i didn't have to work and loads of money would just appear on my bank account every month.
i'm so sorry for any double tags or if you don't wanna do this (just ignore me lol): @blueballsracing @hrhgeorgerussell @f1-giuki @borntogayz

Worst sister, best cupid. (MS47)

Note: HI there, hope you all are having an amazing holiday season, had this idea after thinking in all the nonsense in my head that Mick could actually be attracted to someone just by noticing they are really intelligent, he just has that vibe. Idk, anyway take care, and have a lovely day/night.
Warnings: none. Bad English, it is not my first language but I try my best on each post.
Mick wasn't exactly pleased to be all dress up to an event, but he didn't have any option, his sister Gina asked him to come with her long time ago since her boyfriend was already busy that night.
It was his job as a good little brother.
This was not a simple event, there were lots of important people that could sponsor the event they would host on the ranch in the next weeks, they had to be there with their greatest smiles and make sure to seal a deal.
The blonde was kind of overwhelmed, it wasn't really his thing doing that much talking, his social battery was running low and all he wanted was to get out of there.
" Are you ok?" His sister asked concerned.
" Yep, just a bit tired, this shoes are killing me." He lied.
The oldest just smiled with her lips pressed, she knew he was lying but decided to make it subtle so he wouldn't feel like he left her down.
"You should go to the bar and bring us something to drink, I don't know about you but talking to all of this people is really tiring me."
Mick chuckled, if he was bad at lying Gina was even worst.
He couldn't say anything when you approached them.
"Gina!" You greeted his sister, you two had met long time ago in a competition.
"Y/N!" She hugged you. "Uh, I almost forgot, he is my little brother Mick".
Mick felt he could die from embarrassment, as much as he was proud to be the youngest sibling it sucked for him to be presented like a little child, mostly when he thought you were beautiful.
"Nice to meet you." He tried to act cool about it, but Gina could easily notice how his body language changed.
She would have fun bothering him all the way home, but the blonde made her part shutong up and letting you both talk alone.
"The CS ranch is one of my personal favorite ones in Texas, if you ask me." You told him. "My dad actually took me there to see for the first time a horsing competition, made my first $20 on a bet."
Gina smiled already knowing that story.
" Really?" Mick asked pretty interested, always making eye contact with you.
"Yep, spent them the same day buying a t-shirt."
The german laughted, and Gina took mental notes of everything.
"I would go to the bar for some drinks, I would come back soon." She announced, but neither of you seem really interested beyond giving her a little nod.
" Do you compete?" Mick asked noticing that there were only two logical options for you to be there, either you were a rider or you were someone's plus one.
"Oh no, I am pretty bad at it, but I love the sport." You answered shortly making the blonde a bit frustrated of not getting extra information to answer his questions.
He would for once be a bit more like his sister and ask directly what he wanted to know.
"So? What brings you here?" He asked knowing Gina would be so proud of him.
You smiled even more.
" Guess. " You challenged him smirking knowing he would fail in the attempt.
Mick panicked, thinking what to tell you. He was frowning and his jaw clenched.
You giggled making him realize his expression and changing it to a more relaxed one.
" You are like me, a beautiful plus one." He flirted and your cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
"As flattered I am with that compliment, you are wrong mister, I am here representing my dad's company, making the deals of the season."
...
You both talked a bit more, you agreed to talk to them in a more professional manner a few days later to sponsor their event because a man was asking for you full attention.
There was not proper goodbye, Mick couldn't even ask you for your phone, he was fully depending on Gina to hear from you.
He was fascinated.
The oldest Schumacher didn't make any comment until they were both on the car later that night.
" So... you and Y/N seem to get along really well." She started knowing her little comments would make him insane.
"Oh.." He started but then cough to clean his throat and gain some composure. "Yeah, I think she is nice."
Mick hit himself mentally, that sounded so pathetic, too try hard.
"She is." Gina agreed, he thought he was safe until he heard his sister containing her laughter. " And she is totally your type."
The german panicked. Oh no,this was it, he was about to be humiliated.
" I don't have a type." He tried to stop her.
" You do, your are really into big brain girls, you like to be humbled by a lady that knows a lot. "
He felt called out.
Gina was right.
" I mean but that's not a type."
" You didn't say that I was lying." She stated back wiggling her brows at him. "Oh my God, marry her, mom would love her."
Mick's cheeks were burning by now.
" No, we are not getting married." He told her trying to give her his most serious face.
"Well not now, but imagine your kids would be so cute, and they would have a mama that can shut the man in a riding event, a super woman if you ask me." Gina started talking quickly making with each of her statements Mick get more and more red.
They arrived home and he was glad when his mom was already slept.
He spent the rest of the night thinking about you, he looked you up on Google, he wanted to know more, no, he needed to know more about you.
The next morning tired and all after spending most of the night on his phone he went to have breakfast, his sister and mother were already eating.
"You look like you didn't sleep well, honey. Everything alright?" His momma asked looking at him with concerned written all over her face.
"Yeah, we just arrived really late and that messed up my sleeping routine."
" Yeah mom, his sleeping routine was affected by the fact he stayed until Y/N's o'clock. " Gina giggled, their mother opening a lot her eyes.
"Gina! You are the worst." The youngest protested.
"Gina ve nice to your brother." Mama Schumacher tried to bring peace to the table, but she was curious. " Mick, tell your mama more about it, who is Y/N?".
Mick wanted to desapear.
"He would not tell you, she is the girl from my charity riding afternoon from last year, the one that suggested the betting house." Corinna quickly got who she was talking about. "They were all over each other, if it wasn't because of a man that would still be there talking, mom."
"Y/N, oh, she is really pretty, a really intelligent young woman, oh Micky you should totally go on a date with her."
The blonde wasn't happy with the suggestion.
" Mom..." He protested.
" See Mick! That is what I told you, do it for the next generation of Schumachers, we need them to be more prefect than us." The oldest said making the three of them laught.
" I would think about it."
The two women celebrated.
Gina's phone vibrated, she looked at it with a wide smile on her face.
" Hey Gi! Hope you had a great night yesterday, I talked with your brother about sponsoring your event, I am free tomorrow night to talk about it a bit more, tell me if you are up to go and have dinner," she read out loud, Mick made a confused expression on why was she so abnormal about a simole text. " Also, could you please give Mick my number? I told him I would sent him my favorite breakfast receipts and I don't want to bother you more."
The oldest screamed like a little child, and stated pocking Mick's side. "SHE IS ALSO INTO YOU."
"Gina, clam down." He pleaded not knowing how to even act.
"Ok Ok, I would go make you a plan to go on that dinner with her and you can thank me later by naming you first kid Ginger." She hugged him and started running upstairs.
" You are the worst!" The blonde told her and his mother just giggled.
"She may seems like the worst sister, but is the best cupid you could ask for."
