   when I was growing up my mom use to threaten to get the pancake turner if we didn’t misbehaved or didn’t do what she told us to do. In a family of 8 kids we never did find out what she was going to do with the pancake turner. I also remember a charicter in the wheel of time book series who would always ask for several random items when someone would refuse to answer his questions. Every time a prisoner heard him asking for a bunch of random items they’d get terrified and start confessing to whatever they’d done. One time someone asked the guy what he was going to do with those random items and he admitted that he had no idea, but whatever the prisoner imagined he was going to do with the items was enough to make them talk.

   I hope I don’t trigger anyone with this story, and just so everyone knows the only time I ever use the N word is when it’s in context, like quoting Huckleberry Finn. One time when he was in the hospital my father (an older white dude) had a roommate (an older black dude) and for the most part they got along well. One day the roommate’s family were visiting him and one of them brought out a bag of mixed nuts to share. My dad spoke up and asked if he could have one of those N word toes. At that point the whole family went dead silent and one of the young men came over to stand over my fathers bed and lecture him on why they found that word so repugnant. After the rest of the family my dad’s roommate turned to him and gave him an apologetic smile and said, “When I was a kid we called them N word toes too.”Just to make sure that everyone knows what they were talking about, they were referring to Brazil nuts.

   I remember when a friend of mine would complain about something to his mother she’d ask him if he was bragging or complaining.

   The wall reminds me of the scene from Zootopia when the rabbit trainee jumped off her fellow trainees to get over the wall.

   My church is very non-conformist, even so people will sit in the same place every week because that’s where their friends sit or that’s where they feel comfortable. Before Covid hit everyone knew where I’d sit because it was the easiest seat to access with my wheelchair or walker.

    to be fare it is easier to hold on to a large soft item like a newspaper than it is to hold on to a small slick item like a phone.
