Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.

Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.

Do yourself a favor and wait.

There’s a good chance you could make your condition worse.

This is when you bite the bullet and talk to a trained professional.

Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it’s a Native American ritual burial, but it’s not…

[see TV show ‘Dark Winds’]

There’s an urban legend in New York City.

One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim’s hands, feet, and skin was removed. There’s a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it’s the body of a gorilla.

There was a hot dog factory in the area.

When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…

If you haven’t seen it, “Orphan Black” is a BBC show about a group of clones being hunted down by their creators.

One actress played about 20 different roles in the series; and there were a few scenes where all the clones were in the same room together.

Great show and a masterclass in acting.

Modesty Blaise was supposed to be a ‘refugee’ raised in ‘the Middle East.’ She could be Kashmiri, Afghan, or Iraqi.

I’d do it with two actresses; a fifty-something Modesty narrating her life story and a younger actress for the early years.

Quentin Tarantino and I [and probably a lot of other folks] came up with the idea of setting the next Bond back in the 1960s.

There really is no such thing as ‘The USA.’

I live in New York City and what’s cool here will get you arrested in other places.

Some towns are fine with you having a rifle on open display. Some towns are fine with you smoking pot on the street.

Listen to your SO’s friends and [close] family.

Your SO talks to them about what they really want.

Click bait that actually makes me glad I clicked???

I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”

On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.

You can’t copywrite a “Hannibal” action figure.

Reminds me of an off topic story.

“Fables” was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.

The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.

I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don’t put anything in kids’ media that can’t be sold.

EC titles like ‘Valor,’ and ‘Frontline Combat.’

My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.

Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.

Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.

I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.

If you’re sitting for more than an hour straight that’s probably the problem.

OSHA rules demand that anyone sitting for more than 90 minutes straight get a 40 minute break.

Stop torturing yourself.

Drag yourself to the local store that sells chairs etc.

What is comfortable for one person is torture for another. Somethings have to be purchased hands on.
