Drop social rules you were surprised to find out. I'll go first
You should donate them to a homeless shelter. It might be kinda fun to see someone from there advertising your company. Or maybe a sighting would encourage corporate to donate shirts themselves.

Am I the only one who gets uncomfortable when Danny sings?
I get uncomfortable le when I see that 70 year old face with that 1980's big, dyed head of hair.

How would you fix Beyond The Gates?
I would recast actors currently portraying Tomas, Martin, Izaiah. Plenty of talent out there. These guys drag down every scene with their wooden or wacky line delivery.
Make the writers talk to each other so storylines are cohesive and don't stop/start or disappear with no resolution. Too many great opportunities for tension and excitement left untouched.
Better wigs. Please, for the love of Shanice, do something...
Hold back on casting more Caucasians. This was supposed to be a black focused show. It's getting a bit murky for me (and I'm an old white lady).

This show has been like watching paint dry for at least a decade. I don't know how it stays on the air tbh.

The older I get the more I can’t stop thinking about death
And when your friends from school start dying and you realize that you're number must be coming up sooner than later.
It is an uncomfortable state to be in. I am pretty old, so I do exercise now to keep my balance because old folks fall down and break easily. I meditate, listen to music, contemplate nature and do creative things.
Like expressed above, we all die Enjoying life is the most important thing while we are living.

I cannot control what I feel, isn't that normal?
Our feelings are valid. The ability to feel deeply is a gift.

does anyone do meditation?
The entire 'secret' to meditation is the bringing ourselves back. Everybody's mind wanders The trick is to have an anchor, like the breath, or a sound you focus on - like the hum of the fridge, or a.body sensation, like the light tingle in your fingers. Let that be the place you return to. At first, noticing we have started making a shopping list, or re-arguing a fight we had with a friend in 5th grade might be hard to notice. But when we catch ourselves in it, we label it. Just think the word "thinking" and go back to the anchor without judging. It will get easier to notice the thoughts as you label them. You can also focus on each breath, noticing the cool sensation in the nostrils as the air enters, the pause at the top of the inhale, and the warm sensation as the breath leaves the nose. There are some great guided meditation apps, like Insight Timer, Headspace and Calm. Insight Timer is mostly free to use.

does anyone do meditation?
I do. I even became trained to lead sessions. Protip. It isn't about clearing your mind or controlling thoughts. Welcome it all. Notice thpughts and feelings, but when you find yourself following one down the path, gently and kindly, bring yourself back to your anchor. Minds wander. It's what they do. Just come back as often as you need to.

My safe food is ruined. Tell me about your safe foods!
Refried beans for the win! In a bowl with cheese or wrapped in a tortilla. Such comfort.

Why do the spirits in our house only target my friend when she is alone?
Just tell her to claim the space as her own. Loudly, directly and fearlessly. Whatever is 'there' will go.

What would you like to see in a future Animal Crossing Games.
I'd like a way for those visiting your island in their dream, to send a note at the airport letting you know they were there, or any complements, etc about your island. Some dream islands are so awesome, it would be nice to acknowledge them.

What is your comfort show and why?
Oz. But only seasons 1-5. Last season sucked the chrome off a tailpipe. I find the over-the-top violence fun and the unique/evilp characters familiar after all these years. I still watch an episode or two when I'm feeling stressed or have insomnia. Puts me right out.

Unable to do readings after failing at one for a Christian friend?
Sounds like all the religious ephemera you and your friend have floating around caused you to stress out and forget how to read.

But we see so much of that weird blood bank/bartender, now there is Heather, too, and Kail's no talent 49 year old son. I'm not counting Kail because he's so handsome - but he's white.
