Reply to TIL that in Chinese Folk Religion, a mortal human being could ascend into godhood not through the decisions of a clergy/church, but by the sheer number of people who believe that their extraordinary achievements led to apotheosis, which forced Confucian/Taoists clerics to canonize a person as a God. by Khysamgathys
So the premise of American Gods.

I use a long obnoxious lanyard with loud colors and have a super special key place on the wall that I can easily hit as I walk in and out. I have lost my keys twice in two years and it used to be nearly daily. My solutions involve just accepting I’m out of storage space in my brain and make situations automated.

This reminds me of a shitty poster you’d see in a waiting room in the 90s.

They can expire under federal law, but each state varies. In CA, they cannot.

That’s something to be proud of. I’ll fix a lot of things on my own around the house, but I won’t touch plumbing (or electric). Mistakes way too costly.

After my mother died suddenly, months later I found an voicemail telling me she’d gone home, and “if you need me, I’ll be home.” I saved it everywhere I could. I can hear it in my head whenever I miss her. One day I’ll meet her at home.

I make my bed every day, I have a top sheet, and the first thing I do when I get into bed is pull the bottom free. Do not want my feet locked in.

They didn’t say toxic, they did say it would release more pieces. They’re right that you’re sanding it down, and I imagine it would create a rougher surface than it was manufactured with, which may lead to more pieces dislodging during use or cleaning.

Makes as much sense to me as anything else supernatural tbh.
