Now I understand the effect of the woman coming in to whisper "Big boys don't cry" in the middle of the 10cc song "I'm Not In Love."
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
TAL did a segment last week on ASMR [link]. At the end of it, I turned to J and said, "Wait, are you telling me you don't have that tingly sensation when someone whispers or speaks quietly in an accent? I thought everyone did." This totally explains why I saw every episode of Bob Ross painting. So, how many Buffistas get that feeling? I am going to try using some of these youtube videos when going to sleep and see what that does.
I read about that a while ago! And I watched a video of a woman folding towels and talking about it, and...nothing. But I wanted to tear down a wall in the hallway so I could make a linen closet.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can't remember a night that awful. Would Not Stop.
I had one of those recently. At my brother's and with a full house. I just couldn't stop the terrors or calm down. It was awful and it would not stop. The only small blessing is that I did have a door to my room and was freaking the fuck out and panicking in private. It was horrid. I got through the next morning through sheer will.

I quickly go from nose-wrinkling itchiness to JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.
Okay, I watched the beginning of the video of the woman TOUCHING THE CAMERA, and I pretty much had this reaction.
Bob Ross is nice, though.

I know you all were on the edge of your seats, but here's what I did with the ripened avocados: I mashed one and mixed it with some pico de gallo from the store and we ate that quick guacamole with our chicken tacos for dinner!
I have more avocado that I think I will eat for breakfast tomorrow with more pico and eggs.Yay!!!!

I love avocados....I wish the squirrels who took them off our trees would either eat the whole thing or at least not leave semi-ripe ones with one bit out at the bottom of our stairs.
We also have kumquats on a tree. I live in a weird house. I think all of the fruit trees are making me sicker.
