'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It was a beautiful day here and I spent the afternoon in a laundromat because a cat decided to pee on the bed while I was cleaning the litter box.
I've kept my reading weighted toward women and POC for the last six years. Intentionally so for the last four.
So someone invited my mother to a grief workshop that is apparently about being a medium or whatever. I said it's in Florida in January, she should just go!
8 listings up now and pics taken for 6 more.
If I can keep this up, I might get a chunk of mac's old toys up and a bunch of yarn or fabric. Thus far this is clearing out the last of my Lularoe over buying from last year.
As is always the case, I wish I had another day in this weekend.
Hahahaha that's hilarious Jesse.
I kept trying to think it was more metaphorical, but no. Literally about talking to your dead loved one.
Someone put a flyer for psychic readings in my car door while I was at the movies today. A real psychic would have known not to waste paper that's just going to go in the trash.
She could go to Florida and skip the medium stuff to go the beach, I suppose.
Woohoo my priciest eBay listing (Tiffany necklace) has a bid, so I'll at least get $75 for my trouble today. The necklace was for 5 years with the company. I got it with the plan to resell. Retail on it is $125 so I hope it goes up some, but this really is free money, so anything is good.

On the one hand, let's face it, I have a lot of beliefs that make my more skeptical friends shake their heads as me. On the other hand, I am deeply suspicious of anyone making money off of being a medium, including organizing conferences that I assume aren't free. Taking money from grief-stricken people in the name of magic and occultism is sleazy.
(I feel like I should include a #NotAllWitches hashtag.)
So I see this Chuck Grassley quote come up: "I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing, as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it's on booze or women or movies."
Now my first thought is that that's probably not a real quote because it just seems like too much. But, no. It's real. What an asshole.
