There will always be those who feel more comfortable not venturing from the warmth of the hearth, but there are those who prefer to look out the window and wonder what is beyond the horizon. -Jimmy Buffett, American singer, songwriter, musician, author (three of his six books were New York Times best sellers' list [two in fiction and one in nonfiction] and businessman (two restaurants named after two of his hit songs [Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise] ...December 25, 1946, to September 1, 2023, I don't own anything from Jimmy Buffett [music, books or the restaurants (well mostly the Margaritaville Cafe and now defunct Cheeseburger in Paradise) whatsoever]

You can do anything that you set your mind to. - Benjamin Franklin [1705-1790]

(This is the same quote as Delia Ketchum said to Ash Ketchum while on the video phone in the English Dub version of Pokémon: the original series in the episode: Pokémon Emergency while I was looking into inspirational quotes to live by from each Pokémon series on YouTube and so far, this quote is the only one from a historical figure, without being said I don't own anything from Benjamin Franklin, Pokémon or YouTube whatsoever)

Alice, Luce
"I just want you to know that if you are out there and you are being really hard on yourself right now for something that has happened ... it's normal. That is what is going to happen to you in life. No one gets through unscathed. We are all going to have a few scratches on us. Please be kind to yourselves and stand up for yourself, please."

— Taylor Swift

    ((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.))

    ((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

    ((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

    ((My right middle finger, behind first knuckle, left a bit of skin on the button... I was that angry. They decided this without talking to me, saying they were "tired of the stress". They're set on a two bedroom apartment ($154 more than the current, at least), it's up to me if I want to move, they said. Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

    Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.
