@Cerberus We were talking about something here:

Do you ever use guided meditations to get to sleep?

This one rocks:

Listen to it with headphones while watching this playlist on mute:

The two complement each other.

Very effective for sleep and fabulous ASMR.

What happens when you add frozen yogurt to cola soda? I don't have any frozen yogurt to test.

@JohnnyApplesauce it’s going to look like someone threw up in your glass?

(Sorry.)

Does it taste like a float or not?

@JohnnyApplesauce It would taste like a float as much as frozen yogurt tastes like ice cream, I'd guess

@Jolenealaska Hey, thanks! That immediately triggered my ASMR haha.

But I've just woken up, so tonight will be a better time, as you said.

I can see why those videos might complement it. A form of art I had no idea existed!

@Stephie That sounds just perfect.

@Jolenealaska I'm so glad you talked to your father!

I'm sure he will have your back if worse should come to worst, won't he?

Well, to the point that I won't sleep under a bridge, yes.

The money I'm referring to there is mine

he was just holding it in an escrow acct, btw.

Oh, hmm.

But he does know about your situation, in its entirety?

Jesus Christ I sound like a politician here, but that kind of depends upon what you mean by "in its entirety". He has not read those documents, but he knows of their existence. I told him specifically that I wasn't forwarding them to him because I know he would hate them.

But he knows you are at risk of being evicted?

yes

I assume any father would help his daughter if that should happen?

So I'm glad he knows.

He has declined to help me before in ways that I would expect a father who loves his daughter and who has means to do, but I have always been able to count on him when things really got ugly, like me sleeping under a bridge and dying of covid with a broken leg.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

If I were he, I should have sent you more money at any time than he has in the past.

But no sleeping under bridges.

Same. He is different as a parent than I would be, but he loves me.

That's the most important thing.

On a much more pleasant note, it is a really funny bit of the universe doing what it does that I ended up putting together that particular playlist (above) and that particular recording (above) and the very concept of ASMR. That has always been very important to me, but I never knew it had a name until you told me.

It's a highly suggestable phenomenon.
