Housed For Now!
[New]
AS OF DECEMBER 20TH, 2023, WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT OUR NEW LANDLADY WANTS US OUT WHEN OUR LEASE ENDS IN FENBRUARY. EDIT Dec 27th 2023: We just learned that she's adding an electric garage door to the garage. Her ex-husband is working on it with an electrician friend of his and I overheard them. She doesn't intend to move in, she wants to add the small ass garage onto the lease and thinks it's worth adding another $1K+ dollars to the rent.
[Old]
Dave just doesn't get how finances work. Because he's so unhelpful and doesn't fucking listen when people speak, he's whining about how after getting paid, mom has nothing left for the month. "But we don't have to spend $230 on the storage unit anymore!" "That went into other bills, Dave!" He thinks that cuz we don't have that one issue holding us down, we're going to be able to handle everything else easily and have money left over for whatever he wants to waste it on. Because mom has had to pay one bill and let another slide as a result every month. It's how she's had to handle our financial problems this entire time. And people all over have to do things like this, it isn't a new tactic.
Mom finally paid off the bank after Dave bounced her account several times last year. She's been paying $100+ a month for ages to get that handled. That should make things a little easier now.
The car insurance has increased by several dozen dollars so it's over $150 a month now. (EDIT: Dec, 2023: It was increased again.)
Her phone and Bethy's phone have to be kept on because of her schooling and we need a functioning phone number or else we'll be in big trouble in many ways. $100+ just for 2 phones. Dave is in charge of his own damn phone.
She has to handle her Discover and Capital One cards since she's had to use them to save our asses a few times. She NEEDS to pay them off so her credit score doesn't tank, and many places won't give you a chance if your credit is low. She's got monthly payments for those around $100+ in total.
The P.O. Box price has increased. Almost $50 now. (EDIT: Dec, 2023: We had canceled it since we finally got a place to live, and now we'll need to get a new one. I'm so tired.)
Dish Network has been on pause or almost 2 years cuz she can't cancel it before the full year she paid is used up or the fee is astronomical. They keep suspiciously unpausing it and trying to lob thousands in fees at us. (EDIT: Aug, 2023: Mom finally got it taken care of by going to the Better Business Bureau with dozens of emails of proof for her case and they came down hard on Dish Network. So we're fine on that front now.)
Then we have gas for a minivan, that Dave should be paying for, but isn't. A mostly full tank is around $80 every 4-5 days. Gas is average rn. So over $400 monthly in gas. (EDIT Dec, 2023: $20 gets 4 1/2 Gallons right now. It is hell.)
We need the part for the van which is $800+. The van is just so old that finding parts for something considered an antique now is damn near impossible, and not having the money up front makes it worse. (EDIT: Dec, 2023: The van is dead and despite how the alternator was replaced and the battery and starter are fine, there's no vehicle.)
She has to pay for her medication cuz we have shit medical. She's already going without many of them but some health problems, like Asthma, can't be ignored so the inhalers are prioritized. (EDIT Aug, 2023: Our medical changed out of nowhere at the beginning of the year and all of our doctors no longer take it. No doctors take it, in fact, so our attempts to get better help have to start all over again.)
Bethy needs school supplies regularly.
But Dave just thinks that she should have all this extra money left over at the end of paying everything off. Many of these things come out instantly on the 1st of each month btw. She has to then work through what is left for the bills that aren't instantly paid off. He thinks if he works with his friend for 3 weeks, he'll have enough money for an apartment, completely ignoring that he'd only have about $1800 for a full month of work with no breaks. The cheapest 2-bedroom in Delaware requires almost all of that, which is why we're waiting on housing which charges based on your monthly income. Even if he handled the monthly rent of $1400-$1700 for a 2-bedroom, mom still has all this stuff to worry about... and then gas, water, electric, sewage, etc... Dave doesn't listen. In public housing, those things are included. Outside it, they are separate expenses.

[NEW Dec, 2023]
I was right to keep on my toes about this. Dave does not read or pay attention and he just rushes into things without thinking. He's made every excuse possible to defend this lady saying she'll see how clean the house is a let us stay, but when she made a point to say she's thinking of moving in here, she isn't looking for a ruined house. She already has the reason for why she wants us out and she put it in writing, and it's because she claims to want to live here now. She doesn't need any other reason; she owns the property and that is good enough.
So, we have to be out by mid-February, which means more moving. And we just have no money and nowhere to go.
[NEWER Mar, 2024]
We need food, heat, hot water, etc... and Dave's getting scammed by a blackmailer that he's now given over $3K to... His dumbass was cheating, as he always does, and within a few conversations felt safe enough to tell this bitch all his personal business, as well as everything about his kids and grandkids. And now, cuz he offended her, she did a search on him and found his family and is how holding them over his head to Apple gift cards.
Yet he stomps in the house every day demanding to know if anyone 'gave us money'. And then got mad when mom finally snapped at him with, "No, actually Helen has gotten any commissions this month, so there's nothing in the PayPal." All cuz Dave doesn't want to admit that I've brought $16K in just through commissions alone.

Oh PHIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL i am twirling into your inbox like a ballerina
PLEEEEASE TELL ME YOUR WILDEST GHD THEORYYYY
thanks :]
HI EDDIEEEEEE :D
Thank you so much for this this is EVERYTHING!!! to me
SO. Ultimately I do think the happy ending that we see is what really happened, but I still love to theorize and there are a lot of cool ones on the internet, so I’m gonna make a list of some of my faves. So buckle up!
Tumblr media
1. Probably one of the most popular internet theories is the “purgatory theory”, which proposes that Phil died early on in the movie/musical and the time loop is his personal purgatory that he must escape.
I think my favorite part about this theory is all the different ways people think that Phil could have died; such as freezing to death when he left the van to talk to the cop or from getting hit by the shovel when he’s in the gas station.
2. The theory that Ned Ryerson is causing the time loop in order to sell insurance to Phil is probably the funniest one to me, and it also has a surprising amount of canon backing?
The only day where Phil buys all of Ned’s insurance is also the day he breaks out of the loop, and the way Ned approaches Phil to tell him that they went to high school together is uncannily similar to how Phil convinces Nancy of the same thing. So it’s interesting to think the Ned learned this about Phil and then put him in a time loop solely to sell some insurance lolllol.
3. Probably my favorite theory ever is video game theory. Idk what to say I just think explaining the loop by proposing that Phil is just a video game protagonist and the time loop represents a save point is really cool!!
I also fucking love undertale and I could draw parallels between Phil and Flowey for hours but that’s another post. Additionally I enjoy the idea that when Phil dies over and over it’s just the player getting super pissed and ramming their character into every hazard in the game.
Also this isn’t really a theory but I like the idea that Phil commits all of the seven deadly sins before he gets out of the loop.
Wrath- Taking revenge on the people that bothered him before the loop, such as punching Ned in the face numerous times.
Sloth- Sitting around memorizing Jeopardy episodes.
Gluttony- Gorging himself on breakfast foods.
Envy- His envy for the popularity of the groundhog as well as possibly envy for his colleagues.
Greed- Robbing banks.
Lust- Seducing practically every woman in Punx. using his ability.
Pride- His greatest character flaw.
So yeah thanks for the awesome ask Eddie this is one of my fave ghd topics !!!! ♥️♥️

The Twisted Crimes of Catholic Priest Hans Schmidt
Tumblr media
January 28, 2024
Hans Schmidt was born in 1881 in a Bavarian town called Aschaffenburg. It was said that both of Hans' parents sides of the family had struggled with mental illness.
Hans was beaten by his father as a child and often watched his mother get beaten too. Hans also had a fascination with drinking blood and was interested in bisexuality. He was also fascinated with the death of animals, often watching farm animals die at the village slaughterhouse.
Hans was ordained as a Catholic priest on December 23, 1904 by Bishop Kirstein, despite many people believing he did not have the proper morals or mental capacity to do this kind of work.
Hans began molesting altar boys, was having affairs with various women, and was involved with sex workers. Many fellow priests complained to the Bishop about Hans, and eventually he had to move to the US in 1909, as they stopped giving him parish assignments due to the complaints.
He was assigned to St. John's Roman Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky, but was soon transfered to St. Boniface's Church in New York as he got into it with a senior pastor.
Hans met a woman named Anna Aumüller in New York in 1912. She was the housekeeper of the church and had emigrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1910. Hans later claimed he had heard a "voice from God" telling him to love Anna. Anna originally turned down Hans, but eventually engaged in a sexual relationship with him.
In December 1912, Hans began a secret sexual relationship with a New York dentist named Ernest Muret. The two men began operating a counterfeiting ring together.
Hans was then transfered to another church in Harlem but it did not stop him from keeping his secret relationship with Anna. The two even got married secretly, a ceremony Hans performed.
During sex with Anna, Hans later said he received a command from God, telling him Anna needed to be sacrificed. Hans said it was very persistent so he told Anna and she called him crazy. Anna began pregnant shortly after this.
On September 2, 1913, Hans went to the apartment him and Anna had been pretending to live in as a married couple. Hans slit Anna's throat while she was sleeping and then drank her blood. He also raped her while she bled and dismembered her body, throwing pieces of it into the river.
Anna's torso washed up on Cliffside Park and Weehawken, New Jersey. Hans had used a pillowcase to wrap part of Anna's body and there was still a tag on it. This was traced to Hans, after he had bought the pillowcases on August 26, 1913 using the name A. Van Dyke.
Police staked out the apartment for three days, but Hans did not return so they broke into the apartment to search it. The floors had recently been scrubbed, but dried blood was found on the walls. A bloody knife was found in the kitchen. Men's clothing with the name A. Van Dyke sewn into the clothes were found, but letters in the apartment were addressed to Hans Schmidt.
Lots of the letters were sent from women in Germany, but most of them were sent from Anna. This led the police to the address Anna had provided, but she was not there. They traced everything back to Hans who had admitted immediately that he killed Anna.
Hans plead guilty by reason of insanity. Due to his family's history with mental illness many thought he was insane. However, many people who interacted with Hans did think he was sane. This led to a hung jury in December 1913.
The second trial began two weeks later and it was found that Hans had actually taken out a $5000 life insurance policy in a woman's name of Bertha Zech, who was posing as Anna.
On February 5, 1914, after three hours, the jury found Hans guilty of first degree murder. He was sentenced to death. In December 1914, Hans admitted he was faking being insane during the trials. He also accused Ernest, the dentist he was having an affair with of accidentally killing Anna while performing an abortion.
On February 18, 1916, Hans went in the electric chair at Sing Sing. In a muffled voice, his last words were saying goodbye to his mother. Hans' family wanted to ship his body to Germany, but because of World War I it was impossible to do so. Hans was buried in New York, but his family requested that the location be a secret.
Hans has been suspected in at least 4 other murders. He had been seen with a woman named Helen Green, who then disappeared. She was never found. Hans was also seen with a woman he claimed was his wife when he first moved to the US. This woman disappeared.
The apartment Hans lived in he was seen with a 5 year old boy in his living room by the owner of the building. Hans said the boy was his son, but he then disappeared. He told the owner his son's name was August Van Dyke.
Hans was a suspect in the murder of 9 year old Alma Kellner, whose body was found burned in the basement of St. John's Church in Louisville, Kentucky, which he worked. Her body had been burned and the killer attempted to dismember her.
It was eventually discovered that the church janitor, Joseph Wendling was responsible. He was sentenced to life in prison, but Alma's uncle requested for him to be pardoned and he was deported to France in 1935.

Jojolands 16: Omnes Viae Romam
Tumblr media
What a ruckus this time. We'll skip the body horror cancer fighting stuff in the van. It was quite gnarly though. Nothing super new for Jojo's but after some really tense freaking out from Jodio Dragona rallies enough to use Smooth Operators. Van was no place to be ending but leads us to somewhere to start. A hospital! And since it's set in modern day America I'm glad we got the one joke worked in, about health insurance.
Nice turn to be honest and I like how it all comes together. Now that They know they can utilize Smooth Operators they want to hijack an MRI to find the damage in the others. Charmingman pretty much did the most he could to get Dragona's. Jodio using November Rain did not have to look like a giant sperm cell shooting down a sibling's throat but it did. Speaking of...it's subtle but I like how there's this visible difference. Jodio freaking out about his big brother next to Usagi panicking about Pink-chan. I still think all that's gonna be played with over the course of the part. Anyways:
Tumblr media
Never, ever let this gang stop being idiots. Comes around great in the end, but I hope this is a running theme with Jodio. Reminds me of a song from Hair that'd probably drive him crazy. LBJ took the IRT down to 4th street USA...when he got there what did he see? The youth of America on LSD. It...gets sillier from there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First of all this Matte Kudasai camera gag is fucking hilarious every time and I hope we see it every time. But look at this cunty grandpa! That seems to be the biggest development. We've introduced a sorta detective on the gang's trail. Complete with a little girl he just happened to be babysitting who is really helpful at this sort of thing. And is maybe the origin of the enemy standou? I like them a lot and am curious where it all leads.
Now then...let's get to the finale of this chapter because it really says a lot about what is giving Jojolands so much potential to be an easy #1 for me. We already have the cast to do it, but watch how this all ends.
Tumblr media
Love this panel for one thing. But in the end, the detour to the ICU gave the gang a golden opportunity. Or really the Lava Rock subtly pulled them towards it. Howler's land, the deeds they were after to set all this up. The politician's daughter that was attacked by the Stand? Her dad is there. He was already wavering on setting off government intervention on that land and interpreted his daughter's illness as an attack. To me it seemed like he was ready to give up.
But in a moment of serendipity, his daughter had a sudden shift that makes him leave the tablet with the forms on the bench. The gang gets handed a massive extra coup on a silver platter. Using Smooth Operators they pull a fingerprint over and force his hand. It's made clear the Lava Rock is influencing this. Bringing the land closer to them. Everything that happened since touching it to the deeds brought the gang to this moment.
That, my friends, is some killer writing. And truly absurd.

Oh nerds, I have had a week of a week. Frist off; house keeping. I got the job in Vancouver and my last day at Camel Town was yesterday. I start in Van in 7 days.
Now for my week of weeks,
While still interviewing find the Perfect Place to live. A 2 bedroom condo in my price range available in time for my start date. Stop looking for other places.
Get job offer, tell new landlord to move forward, get emails from his rental company, look up rental company and see it is a real one that exists.
Make plans with Sister to transport Ianto and I to Vancouver. Sister's partner takes a day off work to help.
Send deposit of 3400CAD to rental company [deposit consists of 1 month rent 1700, and two damage deposits - one for Ianto -totalling 1700]. Normal and legal in Canada. Most places just ask for one of the deposits but not illegal.
Do all that by Friday [9th]
Walking Ianto at 6;30am on Monday 12th - 4 days before planned move in date - and get email from rental company asking for another deposit of 3400 as 'insurance' because they have been 'having issues with transactions from Canada and the United States'. Will not send keys and paperwork before getting the additional funds.
Think for a minute and reply something like 'Landlord and I agreed on 3400, which you have just confirmed you received. Please send the keys etc asap.'
Alarmingly quickly Landlord [not company] emails me to say company got in touch with him and this is their policy. He will give me 20 per cent off rent for first 6 months if I just send the money. [This is the first red flag I actually notice]. I replythat I am moving in 4 days and if the transaction takes as long as the first one, I won't have anywhere to live but be out a fuckton of money.
Calll my parents. It's 6;30 in BC but they are visiting Ontario where its 9;30. Not worried about waking them. Mum immediately offers to transfer the money for me because part of the issue is that I have to move money around to get that much which takes up to 48 hours. I cut her off and say 'I feels scammy' which dad agrees with.
Dad is a retired real estate agent, gets in contact with folk in BC a few hours later while I go to work and freak out [had already packed my anxiety meds... not fun]. Turns out 'Landlord' doesn't have title for the condo.
Also Rental Company email is very obvious fake. I googled the company but didn't check the email. Like a fool.
Tell 'landlord' that I cannot move that amount of money in the time allotted and would like my deposit back please [didn't expect to get it back but... its the presidency.]
Looked for another rental. Found one that wasn't dog friendly. Ianto is a service dog but is not yet certified to BC standards. Thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Called and was very frank; just got scammed, moving at end of week for work, have a dog. She gave me a short list of other rentals she knew accept dogs because she could not allow Ianto before his test.
Contacted a few, Ianto was too big for a few, filled out an application to one, and got a virtual tour set up for the other [this takes us to Tuesday].
Tuesday email my contact at job in Vancouver to let her know that I might not be able to start on the 22nd because no home. She [witn permission] then contacts my board to let them know. One has a line on an apartment.
Discover my mattress is very mouldy.
Application denied with no option to contest, virtual tour cancelled because property manager got sick and couldn't reschedule until this coming Monday.
Call my bank about the scam. They start an investigation which will take about 10 days and cancel my debit card because... I don't know. [bringing us to the end of Wednesday]
Application to board member's suggestion accepted. Need to pay the down payment which is just one of the damage deposits. They take in-person payments or money orders. Because my card is currently... gone. I cannot do online or app banking. Would have to do in-person or phone. Nearest branch to me is 2 hours away by car and I don't drive. Try calling. It takes over an hour to discover that because of the investigation I cannot get a money order done via the phone. Because that would be too easy.
Call my parents - they were busy - texted my brother. Asking both if they could help. Brother puts me in contact with his partner who would have their car tomorrow at the same time my parents offer to do a money order for me. Get the address etc from new rental company [legit]. Send confirmation.
Move in date is [probably] Saturday.
So, a very week of a week if I do say so myself and it's not over yet. I need to finish packing still [wall art, blankets, the last of Ianto's stuff and odds-and-ends]. Still need to get there. Chance the Money Order won't get there in time - as it has to go from Ontario to BC and tomorrow is Friday. but... Better position by miles than on Monday.
There is a small chance my bank can get my money back but.... Unlikely and it was a painful lot of money to say the least.

The Next Round Approaches: An Intriguing Prospect
Tumblr media
Dearest Readers,
As we draw nearer to the next round of the Survival Games Bracket, one cannot help but feel a certain thrill in the air—a heady mix of anticipation, dread, and unbridled curiosity. The first round has left us all with much to ponder, and dare I say, even the sharpest among you may have been caught off guard by a twist or two.
First Poll: 1. 2.
Perhaps living the Life of a Fancy Nomadic Hobo - or Family Van Vlog, in other words - serves for some extra Experience points than a chef who can barely keep track of a Van. As Aranis seems to have taken the lead with 8 votes while Frost was left with 5.
The same vote count applying to the right side of the bracket, with Soldano being estimated to have probably punched his way through survival, beating Edevane by 3 extra votes.
Second Poll: 1. 2.
Now, we move onto the battle between two scientists; one of biology and the other of psychology. What Valerian lacks in immunity and iron, he makes up for in military training to beat someone as sharp as Ziegler by a whopping 9 votes over her 5.
Definitely the most pitiful poll result yet, we have Shinmen beating Liáng's 1 single little vote by his 12. Ouch...
Third Poll: 1. 2.
Allow me to provide a physical display of what this hypothetically would look like;
Tumblr media
That is Swanson failing to 7 votes with only 4 in her possession.
The battle between the brains and the brawn, unsurprisingly insured Rossi's esteemed victory of 7 votes over Eischen's 4. Will this one be recorded in the history books or will Eischen go unnoticed once more?
Fourth Poll: 1. 2.
Although Sherwood was burned at stake and Andrew seems to either be suffering from amensia or a time paradox, this witch's brew seems to have beaten Perkins' acting skills by an admirable 11 votes over his 3.
This knight may have burned down her village,but he cannot burn down the fragment of braincells she acquires more than him to have earned herself 9 votes over his 5.
Fifth Poll: 1. 2.
And let us not forget our traumatized veteran, Vrban, who, much to the delight of those with a taste for the unexpected, has emerged from the shadows and into the light to fight against the toxicologist, Kadin with a single extra vote to take the victory of 8 over 7.
The next challenge, however, is one that was most entertaining for myself. Even with Fontenay having the psychical capabilities of a soaked kitten, one who fought in the musically beloved June rebellion is fiercer than a royal who was served everything upon a silver platter. That would be a 9 over 6 votes, if only it had been reversed to make the most comical joke.
Sixth Poll: 1. 2.
Never doubt the nature of a whore because they can be out for more than one sort of bodily fluid when cornered! With that being said, Rascuis topples Becu with 11 votes over 4.
One who hails from a historical time period quite literally has double the life experience, and with that Isayev has pushed past Onasis with 10 votes over 4.
Seventh Poll: 1. 2.
The dashing Captain, who so effortlessly charmed her way through the initial skirmishes, now finds herself facing an opponent of equal cunning and charm the ever-elusive Cowboy Vargas. Nonetheless, she remains victorious with a close tie of 8 over 7 votes.
The debate of whether a mechanic would be enough against an athlete was decided upon a vote of 11 over 4.
Eighth Poll: 1. 2.
Last but not least, the challenge between the towns favorite platonic couple! With Costs taking the reigns with 6 votes over 4, likely due to his experience as a poor little Brazilian boy.
To top it all off, we best not hope Miss Roosevelt plans to join presidency one day with only an embarrassing 2 votes for her first ever ballot against Ella's 7.
Tumblr media
It is not just a test of strength or cunning, but of our own discernment, dear readers. Each vote cast is a reflection of your understanding of the delicate balance of power, the art of survival, and perhaps, a little of your own heart’s desires.
Who shall emerge victorious in this round, and who will find themselves consigned to the annals of history as a mere footnote? The game, my friends, is afoot, and it is you who shall decide their fate.
Until next time, when the results are revealed, and the scandals continue to unfold...
Yours most sincerely,
Miss Gossiper

Auto Transport Process: What to Know
Learn how the Auto Transport Process works and what to expect when shipping a car to or from another state using a car hauling service
Tumblr media
Shipping a vehicle, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned shipper, can seem like a complex process. Understanding how auto transport works and what to expect at each stage can make the experience much smoother. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from requesting a quote to the final delivery of your vehicle.
1. Requesting a Quote: How to Get Started
The first step in the auto transport process is obtaining a quote. Most auto transport companies offer a simple and straightforward quote request form. You’ll need to provide basic details such as the type of vehicle, the origin and destination, and your preferred transport method (open or enclosed carrier). Once submitted, you’ll receive a quote that outlines the cost and details of your transport.
2. What the Quote Includes: Understanding the Details
When you receive your quote, it will include all the necessary information to help you understand the specifics of your car shipping service. This typically includes:
Vehicle Details: The make and model of the car(s) being shipped.
Carrier Type: Whether you’ve selected an open or enclosed carrier.
Origin and Destination: Where the vehicle will be picked up and delivered.
Pickup Date: The estimated date for pickup.
Vehicle Condition: Whether the vehicle is operable or inoperable.
Quoted Price: The total cost, including taxes, tolls, fuel, and insurance.
The quoted price should cover all essential costs, so there are no surprises later on.
3. How to Reserve: Booking Auto Transport
Once you’ve reviewed your quote and are ready to proceed, booking your auto transport service is the next step. This is typically done online through a secure process that guides you through each step. You’ll confirm the details, choose your preferred payment method, and finalize the reservation. It’s important to double-check all information to ensure accuracy before confirming.
4. Carrier Dispatched: Receiving the Dispatch Notice
After your reservation is confirmed, the transport company will assign a carrier to your vehicle. You’ll receive a Dispatch Notice that includes important details such as:
Dispatch Date-Stamp: The official date your vehicle is scheduled for transport.
Pickup and Delivery Dates: The estimated dates for both.
Carrier and Driver Information: Details about who will be handling your vehicle.
Payment Instructions: Any remaining balance or payment due at delivery.
Contact Details: Information for your assigned dispatcher.
This notice keeps you informed and prepared, ensuring you know what to expect as the shipping date approaches.
5. Pickup Process: From Contact to Loading
When the scheduled pickup day arrives, the process begins with the driver contacting you to coordinate the pickup time and location. Upon arrival, the driver will conduct a detailed inspection of your vehicle, noting its condition in a report. You’ll sign off on this inspection, and the vehicle will then be securely loaded onto the carrier.
Throughout the transport, you can expect updates on your vehicle’s progress. This communication helps keep you informed, reducing any stress about the process.
6. Delivered to Destination: Completing the Journey
As your vehicle approaches its final destination, the driver will reach out to coordinate the delivery.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day (green tea!) Welcome to the weekend and welcome to September!
Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?
First of all, many thanks to everyone that got involved with Throwback Thursday on my page. Yesterday’s word was HOME. Again, another emotive word! It has both good and bad connotations for people. I could lay my hat in all sorts of places but it wouldn’t feel like home! I like my bed, my sofa, my armchairs, my remote, my fridge, my study. You know I’m a creature of habit and routines, so I need to things to stay the same. Am I a little OCD? Maybe I am?
Looking forward to the weekend. After the show, we are popping down to Hove to see Lady Wesker. She’s been a bit out of sorts. A Curry’s delivery van totally wrote off her car (while it was stationary) and Curry’s stingy insurance company only gave Mum £2k. What can you buy for that? Anyway, she’s sorted now, so hopefully we can go out in her new (second-hand) car? The last thing your mum needs is some big oaf in a big van destroying the key to her independence. We will not be shopping at Curry’s again! Heartless corporate bastards!
A quick word on the England squad. The word is pathetic (and that’s being polite!) Maguire, Phillips and Henderson? Really, mate? Where are Sterling, Watkins, Bowen and Ward-Prowse? Southgate must think it’s still 2020?
Naturally, I’m very grateful to receive a lot of promos via email. However, it takes a lot of time to work through them all. I wouldn’t mind this if most of them were decent and playable, but most of them are NOT! Even new music by established names! Maybe I’m fussy but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Doubtless, loads of people will say, “Oh, there’s plenty of good, new music, Lindsay!” Well, it might be good enough for YOU but I’ve been collecting top quality music since the late sixties and most of this new stuff is not cutting it! I look at the charts to see the most popular tracks, check them out on iTunes and, more often than not, I am seriously underwhelmed!
Really hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’: The final part of The Letter P. We will have one week of Q, then move on to the next letter. I have made contact with the executive producer of The Letter R (Pt. 1) and she has built a superb show! We’re going to Jamaica in mid-September for a wedding, so I’ll miss one radio show but I’ll be back in time for the start of The Letter R on September 23rd.
Absolutely buzzing! Friday: my favourite day of the week! No work ‘til Monday, The Mighty Josiah arrives, Chinese for dinner and my team are on telly! Very excited!
Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?

Tips for new drivers
As someone who has seen so many people not know how to drive- and watched people get in wrecks for doing stupid things
1. Do NOT fuck with semi-trucks
I don’t care how Savvy of a driver you think you are, or if they’re driving like an ass
Do not drive next to them (this is annoying for people trying to pass, and dangerous. You ever see those big chunks of rubber on the side of the road? Yeah that’s because sometimes semi truck tires blow out.)
Do not break check them
Do not ride super close behind them
They are much bigger than your car or truck or van, they have massive blind spots- If you get onto an accident with one YOU are going to be the one injured or dead. Pass them quickly.
2. Use your turning signal
Even if you don’t think any one is close enough to you for it to matter- use it. All it takes is one car to come flying up from nowhere and if you try to get over and they don’t know, they will hit you.
3. Give motorcycles some space
this is the opposite of the semis- I don’t care how much of a dick that guy on a bike is being. Give him space- because if you get into a collision, you could kill them. Even if it’s not your fault- you will feel HORRIBLE about it for the rest of your life. Give them space, do not try and cut them off, do not break check them, etc.
4. Slow DOWN in bad weather
I know people who thought they were safe in their big four wheel drive trucks who then spun out on the ice and smashed into a railing.
If it’s pouring, if it’s icy, if it’s snowing- SLOW DOWN! Put your hazards on if you have to and stay to the right. Hell- pull over if you feel like you need to.
Let people honk their horns at you and flip you off. Getting home safe is more important than anything else. It’s not uncommon for people to go pretty slow in bad weather- just stay out of the passing lane
5. Assume everyone else is the world’s worst driver
You need to be ready for people being horrible drivers. Always. Check to make sure someone isn’t going to run that red light before you go, give that car ahead of you some extra space in case they don’t use their turning signal or suddenly break, do not ride next to other cars in case they swerve.
I do not care if the accident wouldn’t be your fault- you may think
“Oh I’ll let them hit me- their insurance might just pay for me to get a new car!”
You could die. You could get seriously injured. That irresponsible driver might have kids in their car that could get hurt. And yeah- that’s not your fault, but why wouldn’t you want to try and avoid that from happening if you can?
6. Get off your phone
Even if you think you’re the best person in the world at texting and driving- all it takes is one little thing. One kid darting across the road, one car slamming on their breaks, one especially deep puddle, or something in the road- and suddenly you’re driving headfirst into a tree or ditch.
7. Driver to driver communication
Sometimes- people will make gestures. They mean different things in different situations
-flashing your brights or hazards, this could indicate a ‘thank you’ for letting someone get over or merge. Or it could be someone trying to let you know of an animal crossing the road- and or other hazards
-waving at stop signs or intersections etc, this usually means someone is giving you the right away. This also applies to pedestrians at crosswalks. It’s a simple ‘go right ahead’, but if you take too long they might go anyway.
-Horns. Horns don’t always mean ‘Fuck you’, although they might! They might also be someone trying to alert you of an imminent hazard- especially during the day. If you think you’re doing everything right and someone honks at you- take a look around. There might be something they see that you don’t
-revving engines. This could either be them showing off- or if they seem to be looking and trying to talk or gesture to you- especially at a stop light, they might be trying to race you. Do not race people. This is in fact- illegal and dangerous
8. Don’t slow down on the highway to exit UNTIL you enter the exit lane/ramp
This is more of a personal thing than anything- but this was also told to me by both my drivers instructor and the class I took.
If you are getting off the highway- don’t slow down ON the highway. There are people BEHIND YOU, a lot of which will probably have cruise control on. Wait until you enter the Exit lane and then slow down.
Ideally you wait until all four tires are in the lane- if the lane is too short for you to slow down fast enough- at least get over quickly and try not to slow down too far ahead. If you must, make sure you have that turning signal on so people know you might slow down.

On the one hand I'm happy Daniel finally got a pool with water in it, on the other hand LA is like in a constant drought.
The kids are having croissants, omelettes and fruit for breakfast, which is very cute.
Espresso clink is my favorite
How long do you think it took between episode 1 and 2? Not like in filming but in actual canon? Because:
Tumblr media
That's a sign, and window decor. And Johnny's on a super tight budget. So did he just hand paint/stencil that all himself? Who made his sign so fast? I mean half the time signs take forever to go up. Also kebab places signage is totally different.
Miggy in his LA dodgers jersey is giving Daniel in his Halloween day outfit. It weirdly doesn't have a number. I don't know sports, don't they usually have a number?
The amount of interior work Johnny did is huge. Like he put mirrors up? The mats are down. His little silhouette karate guys are all over the walls.
Every time I see that box of trophies they're going to multiply. Now I see 5.
I think...despite everything his stencils were crooked:
Tumblr media
Maybe it's the camera angle.
Do you think Daniel and Mr. Miyagi had to fill out all that paperwork for insurance and certification before they opened out Mr. Miyagi's little trees? I suppose we never actually saw it open officially, just the set up, and they actually got a lease from a realtor, not a handshake with a dude outside of a strip mall.
Daniel spent his summers playing in a broken fire hydrant next to his Aunt Tessie's.
Do you think Daniel picked out Encino Oaks on purpose since he'd been there once? (It is supposed to be the same country club right?)
Amanda and Daniel like Dirty Martini's ice ice cold.
Aisha drives her father (Isaiah's) Q5
The summer party they're at they go to every year, so it's annual event with magicians and clowns.
Junior year Johnny didn't lose a single point in the All-Valley.
Miguel tells his mom he's on the debate team
Johnny recommends Guns 'n Roses and while doesn't seem to own a phone or know what one is does know what a ring tone is.
Kyler still has a bruise on his left eye from fighting Johnny, which makes me think not a ton of time has passed between episodes, and Johnny spent a lot of time decorating.
So Daniel drives an Audi but I guess they also have a big silver van, that he also drives.
Moon has a 'channel', I guess youtube channel? I wonder since it was originally a youtube red if they could've done a silly little spin off channel with extras and content.
One thing I've noticed, I don't think Daniel and Amanda have a lot of kitchen storage space, i.e. cabinets and what not. Thus:
Tumblr media
All the pots and pans and tools are hanging on the wall. The amount of noise that must make.
So Sam's in trouble for throwing a party, but it kind of looks like Daniel cleaned up the whole thing by himself. That's a weird parenting choice.
Newspaper clippings that Daniel framed include: "Mystery Dojo with Single Student Defangs Cobras" with a photo of Daniel and Mr. Miyagi and the other says "Local Valley Champ Defends Title Against Karate's Bad Boy" Which has Daniel versus I guess Mike on at the tournament.
It's interesting that the flashback lesson they show is of Daniel teaching Sam how to break boards. Since that's arguably the worst lesson he ever got from Terry Silver and not something he probably learned from Mr. Miyagi. It is thankfully something a whole lot easier than =what Daniel was doing in TKK3.
"Never give up your defense, beware the spinning hug move" is just so adorable.
Yasmine was driving a Range Rover that hit Johnny's car. And the fact her dad just bought her a new car...
I dunno, I don't think Daniel particularly over reacted to a bunch of strangers in his house and wearing his clothes and also Sam telling him she wasn't expecting him back so early and then he was the one to clean up and she's just sitting talking to her friends.
LaRusso Friday family dinners is cute.
I also like that they talk about the boys she texting.
Daniel tells Sam she's 'Jersey tough'...but she's born and raised Californian.
This school lunch is pringles, a banana, a hostess cupcakes, Organic chocolate milk and what looks like maybe a cheeseburger?
Tumblr media
Look at these babies (affectionate) and their yoohoo. They've also been given two trays and a plastic sporks. What is this school? Clearly you get some options because both of them got fruit cups (different types) and the main course differs since Elis got something else. I guess you also get to choose between pudding cups and hostess cupcakes? I did not get this many options in school. Also like most of the other kids who brought their lunch just have brown paper bags.
Sorry lots about the food but why would Miguel be offered organic Valley chocolate milk and these everyone in the above shot has yoohoo? Why are there that many chocolate milk options?
So...the popular girls drink apple juice from juicy juice and the nerds drink different brands of chocolate milk? Because literally everyone's drink choice is by table. Lol even Kyler has the same apple juice when he sits with them. What's with that?
Karate lesson one "cobra strike" which seems to be a lunge and the "bite" a punch to the nose, mouth or neck. Kudos to Johnny for getting an actual punching dummy.
I feel like this is the first little kernel of Johnny's 'some mercy' when he looks at Miguel after this example and goes 'uh for only extreme situations' rather than go for the throat.
Johnny did not correct Migue's hands. His thumbs are sticking out.
Robby goes to North Hills High and the vp is Carla Jenkins and Robby has molly on him.
It's kind of funny that Johnny doesn't know what that is, but also makes sense seeing as he rolled the tiniest joint on the planet for the first film.
Like Johnny Robby wears band t-shirts, specifically Misfits.
So plot issue. Small one. Johnny is literally only a few feet away when he's taking this phone call where he says he's this kids dad and yet a big sticking point later is that Miguel doesn't know Johnny has a kid.
Daniel being such a sweet infodumping foodie nerd with his fancy yanagi knife. He made: sashimi he calls "Larusso ponzo toro" which uhhhh is like the fanciest sashimi ever. Omg I didn't realize this is what he tried to feed Kyler before. This is like....wagyu. It's extremely expensive bluefin tuna. Holy moly Daniel what the hell? No wonder Sam and Amanda look so excited. That makes making it for Kyler who doesn't like sushi/fish so much more of an oof, that was such an expensive purchase.
Tumblr media
Is that the pickled ginger and wasabi?! They're huge! Daniel for the size of fish you got that's ridiculous. You gotta realize that's ridiculous right bud? Also is that just a bowl of soy sauce? Like a whole bowl?
Daniel didn't like sushi as a teen. (Then why the heck would you buy the rolls royce of fish for a teenage guy you don't know anything about other than your daughter is texting him????)
All these teenagers lying really get Johnny in even more trouble than he already is in.
Uh...so Miguel lives in what apartment 109 and Johnny lives in apartment 2. How does that make sense?
Johnny wrote down that the karate dojo is for teaching karate to anyone who wants to learn karate which is very...him since he doesn't kick anyone out and keeps Stingray.
Dojo is at 6 Herons Nest Reseda meanwhile his apartment is 7428 Saticoy street Reseda. Dude writes in big blocky all capitalized letters for everything which, thanks, easier to read.
So what is the idea here? Daniel leaves his fancy toro behind to go confront whoever owns the cobra kai studio? Is he expecting Johnny or is he expecting Kreese or heck even Silver? Did Kyler tell him any thing else? Did Daniel stay through finding Kyler some fish sticks or something?
They may have been awful Johnny but they were still teenagers.
Daniel is surprised someone is calling Johnny sensei. Like what are you expecting this place to be Daniel? A place without students? A museum? You thought Johnny just moved into a strip mall and decorated it like a dojo because that's gotta be what his house would look like? Or again, did he think someone else was the sensei and Johnny just happened to be around?

Temporary Van Insurance for Business Purposes: Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness ?
Tumblr media
Temporary van insurance offers businesses the flexibility and cost-effectiveness they need to manage their fleet efficiently. Whether you require coverage for a single day or up to a month, temporary van insurance provides the protection you need without the long-term commitment. Here’s why it’s becoming increasingly popular among businesses in the UK.
Flexibility: With temporary van insurance, businesses have the freedom to tailor coverage according to their specific needs. Whether you need insurance for a one off delivery, a short-term project, or to cover a temporary increase in workload, temporary van insurance offers the flexibility to adjust coverage duration and level as required.
Cost-Effectiveness: Opting for temporary van insurance can often be more cost-effective than traditional annual policies, especially for businesses that require coverage for short durations. Instead of paying for a full year of insurance, businesses can save money by only paying for the period they actually need coverage, helping to minimize overhead costs.
Quick and Convenient: Temporary van insurance policies can typically be arranged quickly and conveniently, allowing businesses to get the coverage they need without the lengthy application process associated with traditional insurance policies. This speed and convenience are particularly beneficial for businesses that need immediate coverage for urgent or unexpected situations.
Coverage Options: Temporary van insurance policies offer a range of coverage options to suit different business needs. From basic third-party coverage to comprehensive insurance that includes additional benefits such as breakdown assistance and legal expenses cover, businesses can choose the level of protection that best aligns with their requirements.
Temporary Situations: Temporary van insurance is ideal for businesses that operate in seasonal industries, experience fluctuating demand, or have short-term projects or contracts. Instead of committing to a long-term insurance policy that may not be necessary year-round, businesses can opt for temporary coverage to meet their immediate needs.
In conclusion, temporary van insurance offers businesses the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and convenience they need to effectively manage their operations. With customizable coverage options and quick arrangement processes, it’s a practical solution for businesses seeking insurance for short-term or temporary situations in the UK.

Roundabout City
by Goose_smoothie81
“And how did you first meet?”
Vi looked over at her. “Are you just trying to keep me talking ‘cause I might have a concussion?”
The van took a turn, indicator clicking. “Maybe.”
The pink haired woman sighed through her nose. “She was helping at her parents’ winery the day I was helping dad close a deal with said winery.”
Janna considered this. “That’s quite the coincidence.”
“Tell me about it.”
The older woman smiled, the twist of her lips mischievous and giving her an elfish, ethereal look about her. “Almost as if it were fated.”

Walmart does not work with goodrx. No matter how much I try. My insurance will only cover 7 days of my medication. The rest of the month will cost me $124.60.
Tumblr media
I have run out of options. I spent the last $40 I had on some groceries. If any of you were on the edge of buying one of the super cool pieces of jewelry I make, now would be the time to surprise me and gift yourself. I desperately needed some personal care items, my car insurance is due, and I have another Dr appt coming up in kc on the 14th, and the electric bill due right after that.
What I'm saying is... if you have the ability to help, I really could use it. Even if only $1.

Just About To Give Up
It's been 15 months since we lost our home. During that time, I have put in a multitude of applications to various low-income housing developments and a slew of public housing sites in 6 different states.
I applied for Delaware Public Housing Authority almost 2 years ago. I have not heard a thing since other than three sites that contacted me to make sure I was still interested in housing. Each of those three sites was out of state.
I have contacted the Salvation Army, Welfare, Social Services, Delaware 2-1-1, Hope Center, Hope House, Lutheran Ministries, Catholic Social Services, Neighborhood House, Children & Families First, First State Community Action Center, etc. The list is long.
Welfare put us up in a cheap motel (roaches included) for a month. This fell under the Covid benefits. Unfortunately, those benefits ended which left us where we started, living in the van.
The other places all gave me relatively the same answer. They don't help with finding housing for people or they cannot financially help. The Salvation Army did say that they would help pay back rent but that doesn't do us any good since we would need to have an apartment to rent to get back on the rent. They also said that they may help with security deposits if we found a place.
We reached out to every homeless shelter in the area and were told the same things by each of them. Since I am physically disabled, they cannot allow me to go into their shelters. They do not have the zoning for that and I am an insurance risk. I even told my family to go stay in the shelter and that I would stay in the van. They refused.
During all of this, I have been paying for 2 storage units that contain all of our belongings including furniture, clothing, appliance, and everything from our house. The two units are very expensive and I am on a fixed income due to my disability.
Now, due to the fact that the storage facility changed owners, the rent is higher, and I cannot afford it. We are now behind and are in danger of losing what we have left.
But that's not the worst of it. Our van is breaking down. The power steering is going. Brakes, motor mount, shocks/struts, water pump, etc. The list continues to grow. Dave was a mechanic for years and could do the work as long as someone helps him. It's cheaper than putting the van in the shop. The problem is that we just don't have the money to buy the parts needed.
Our daughter's 16th birthday is in just 16 days, and we have no money to do anything special for her. This is a big milestone for her. She is in driver's ed and will be going for her license soon. I cannot even celebrate her special day and spoil her. This makes me feel like a failure. I sent her to stay with a family so she wouldn't have to deal with being homeless, but she is still affected by it.
We keep getting hit while we are down, and I don't know how much more we can take. I have a Go Fund Me set up to help mitigate costs but it takes so long for the money to go through. I also have Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal which are quicker.
Please donate and share. Our backs are against the wall. The van is barely hanging on and we desperately need it.

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Fenrir, The Wolf of Expectation Fenrir Week - Day 1
Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Fenrir / Fenris / / Fenris-Wolf / Fenrisúlfr / Hróðvitnir / Vánagandr / Vanargand, the Giant Wolf. Mentioned on runestones, in the Heimskringla, the Prose Edda, and the Völuspá and Vafþrúðnismál in the Poetic Edda.
His name has been translated “fen dweller” from the Old Norse ‘fenrez’. Meaning "swamp", "marsh-land", or "wetlands dweller". His other names being 'Hróðvitnir' meaning "the famous wolf" and 'Vanargand' and 'Vánagandr' meaning "the monster of the Van river", as he is the source of it. He's also called “the creature”, or “wolf”, “of expectation” because of the prophesy around him ,and how that prophesy directly leads to all the events that happen to him. 
He is the child of Loki and the Jotun / Giant Witch Angrboda / Angrboða. Who along with it's siblings Jörmungandr, who would become the enormous Midgard Serpent, and Hel the eventual ruler of Hel or Niflhel the Lands of the Dead, all grew up in Jötunheimr together.
Given the mischeivious nature of both Loki and Angrboda, Odin was inclined to believe a prophesy that indicated that as the children got older they would cause untold trouble, eventually ending in many deaths including Odins.
So the Aesir went to see the children. Jörmungandr was growing so large that he would eventually take up all the land, so they sent him to the deepest sea that circles the earth. Hel who appeared half dead they gave her the lands of the the dead not claimed by the gods, Niflhel / Hel to see too. And Fenrir who was already large and frightening, they realized was not so terrible once Tyr bravely gave him some food. So they took Fenrir home to live with the Aesir. 
Fenrir lived peacfully there amongst the gods for a time. But eventually his ever growing size and memories of the prohesy that he would injure and kill so many of them led some of the gods to think to fetter him for their protection. 
The gods had three fetters created, each incedibly strong and each twice as strong as the one before it. Fenrir being an intelligent creature had to be tricked into trying them on, by saying they wanted to see how strong they were and he was the only one they could think of to try them, hoping to entice him with the fame of breaking such incredible bindings. The first Leyding, was easily kicked off. The second was Dromi, that he had more difficulty shaking and kicking off. The third was a magically crafted fetter called Gleipnir, made by Svartlheim dwarfs out of the 6 strongest and mythical materials. Smooth and soft as a silk ribbon.
Fenrir was brought down to the Lyngvi Island, on Amsvartnir Lake to see the latest achivement in the gods fetter. But he could see it looked like silk and was either too flimsy and there was no need to test it, or it was magical and he was uneasy in testing it. Fearing that he would be unable to free himself, and was afraid the gods would not free him. He agreed to be tied up if one of the gods would put their hand in it's mouth as insurance that they would free him afterwards.
Only brave Tyr who had shown Fenrir kindness was willing. Odin swore they would free him, and Fenrir agreed. Fenrir was bound and started to kick and pull at the binding, with Tyr's hand in it's mouth. The silken band grew stronger the more he struggled. The gods, all except Tyr, laughed and cheered. When Fenrir realized the bindings would not break, and he was being bound without being freed. Tyr lost his hand. 
The gods ran the cord through a magical stone slab called Gjöll (scream) that was placed deep into the ground. With an large magical stone call Thviti to anchor it down. When Fenrir howled, the gods placed a sword in it's mouth upright with the blade against the top oh his mouth. This caused the giant wolf to salivate so much that it would become the river Van. 
Fenrir will continue to grow with the fetters growing with him. In Ragnarok when all bindings will snap, the stones and slab will tear free of the earth and the bindings fail. Fenrir will be so large that his mouth will touch the ground and sky at the same time. And with Flames from his eyes and nose, he we seek his revenge. Reuniting with his Brother Jörmungandr and other Jotun. Swallowing Odin at least, before Odins son Víðarr, the giant God of Vengeance, armed with a magically strong boot that holds Fenrir in place by his jaw, fells Fenrir.
This one always feels like so many Norse myths, a tragedy, and a self fulfilling prophesy. A betrayal and deaths that likely would not have happened without the prophesy that they would.
I love drawing animals, and I’m off work this week. So I decided to sketch seven quick drawings of Fenrir to end this year with a short daily series. With Fenrir progressing in age as we go.
