The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bed Bath and Beyond has magical checkout counters. There's one of those pretty nearby. I'll check it out.
I've traditionally been using small safety pins to defeat shirt gapping, but kat mentioned that the tape worked for that neatly. And probably with fewer flesh wounds.
And I have a wrap dress that's just this side of impolite that may be rescued by tape in a way that pins just can't accomplish.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dayum.
All centipedes are believed to be predators. Their diet is composed primarily of small arthropods, although some scolopendromorphs have been found feeding on toads, small snakes, and other vertebrates.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Bed Bath and Beyond has magical checkout counters.
Be careful. More than once I have fled the store without what I wanted to purchase because of headaches induced by the scents around the checkout counters. I can usually avoid the candle displays, but some items are stealthier.

Huh. I wonder who would win - that type of centipede, or the plant that ate the mouse?

I've been lucky, aurelia. That sounds awful.
The guy who lives in the apartment across the stairs from floats in a stench of cologne. I have to hold my breath walking past him. Luckily we're on nonspeaking terms.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
And if you're holding your nose whenever you walk past him, that's not likely to change.
