Ha! To which they will then melt in my arms and kiss me and tell me just how wonderful I am… only to then punch me in the arm and say… “now tell me what I can get you, dammit, or I will hurt you more!” 😁

It’s a great idea. I did nearly the same exact thing some years ago. It helped a lot. It grounded me. Rejuvenated me. I want to be there again. TMI: since then, life has blown up… more than once… and left me pretty mangled. Hobbies and those life giving things dissipated. Mental health declined again. I started drowning in work and survival. But slowly I’m getting into a better place. I miss those walks with camera in hand. Watching life unfold around me. Capturing creatures living life in all their funny ways. Yes, I quite liked that. And while it may not happen in time for my bday, that craving is there and that’s a good thing. I hope you’re able to spend more time in the here and now, with camera in hand. 💜

Oh man. There definitely would be uses for such a replica. I just had a lot of fun generating stupid ai images of this scene:

Generate Jean-luc Picard in bed, wearing a robe that is open to reveal a hairy chest. He’s on his side, propping up his head with an arm. He has a pipe in mouth and is wagging his eyebrows, inviting you to join him.

Oh yes. Jogging. I remember that.

I may have to start jogging again just for the beer. 😁

I asked god. Still waiting for a response. Will let you know.

Do you mean earbud style? Generally, never…

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, you know?

But if I do drop them and dirt or something, you can remove the rubber and clean it with soap, water, and qtip. You need to be very mindful of the actual speaker portion. A toothpick can be helpful for removing debris, but I wouldn’t apply any liquids to the face of the speaker. There’s usually a piece of fabric that’s glued on and you don’t want to lose that or get it gunked up.

Well, this morning I was able to get a few things down and then a few more things after that. I told my partner that I have a list for me and they got super excited.

I honestly don’t care if I ever get around to getting most of these things, but for the sake of other people doing something like this is a big deal and I love seeing their excitement.

Plus, my youngest kid said they can’t wait to get me another stuffed animal. I’m seriously hoping they can be steered towards something else that I don’t have to put on my bed to make the poor kid happy. Lol.

If I didn’t have to actually absorb all the calories from that amount of beer, this would be an amazing gift. 🤣

Seriously, I watch sitcoms where people are drinking beer after beer at home or going to bars all the time. My body simply can’t keep up with that amount of input. 🙃

Now this is what I’m talking about. 💯

Oh no no no. Lol. I think I’m all full up on Tim Robinson for a while. 🤣

Charity is a great idea, actually! Thank you.

And thanks for the birthday wishes. I didn’t think about the fact that this question actually revolves around my birthday actually happening. Was kind of hoping to just ignore that. I’m at the age where I’d like to just pretend this getting old thing isn’t truly happening. 🙃

For my birthday, I want immortality!

I’ll put it on my wish list. 🪄😺

Imagine the gift of wonders that my mind might give me for my birthday! It would be incredible!Either that… or I will suffer a psychotic break. 🤣

Ha! You’re on to something with that! 😁

You know, I should have played a game where I guessed the percentage of comments that would involve some element of sexuality. Haha.

Purple is my favorite color. 😁

Good god no. Half my family’s allergic. I’m just allergic to their nature. 🤣

🤣 💜

Ha! I so very rarely go for drinks, mainly because I don’t wanna pay for it. Lol. If only I married someone who was independently wealthy. Oh well, no take backsies. 😁

There’s a lot of good truth within this post. More than you might realize. Something to ponder today.

I don’t have boots… 🤔

😁

Damn it! I clearly want things! Why don’t I think to write these things down!?

You’re only slightly creepy for looking at my comment history, but also pretty dang smart for doing so.

It would take some research, but maybe they can help with that. I think that’s the frustrating part for them because they don’t know the first thing about these things, but hey… they are the ones who want to get me something. Haha.

Years ago, they bought me clamp on lenses for my phone, but it did not fit. I have a new phone now and I would love lens that I could mount to it. There’s a company that makes custom cases so they easily attach. I didn’t want to bother getting a new case, but my partner might want to do just that.

And if I don’t dig it, we can always return it and try again. Hopefully that wouldn’t be too offensive. I’ve done that in the past and never ended up buying a replacement item even though I promised I would. 😬

So yeah, an attachable lens or mount that would affix my phone to my binoculars when birding. And I think there are monopod stands, kind of like a tripod but only one leg, which can be used to keep things like binoculars stable. Maybe something like that if it isn’t too weird looking. Lol

Thank you, creepy internet sleuth! It’s so funny that I wrestle with what to think of when I know I’ve expressed interest in things. I don’t know why I couldn’t think of that on the spot. I very rarely actually get those things, but others might want to go that extra step and actually get them as a gift!

This can work!
