Thanks! :)

This has been working for me, so here it is:

1. When you’re ready to fall asleep, pick a five to seven letter word (it can be longer if you can keep track of the letters). (e.g. - “Candle”)

2. For each letter, pick an animal. (e.g. - “C is for Cat”)

3. To the best of your ability, try and picture that animal in as much detail as you think is appropriate. (e.g. - “It’s seated but not laying down. It has cinnamon-colored fur, short. Its nose is pink, etc.”

4. Move on to the next letter and do steps 2 & 3 for each letter.

5. If you finish a word, pick another word, and repeat the same process.

Apparently this mimics the random-ish thought pattern that precedes sleep, and supposedly signals to your brain that the environment is safe enough to sleep.

I forget where I picked this up. This was just one of those things where you go, “Oh - that sounds interesting. I’ll guess I’ll give it a shot if I happen to remember it when I’m trying to fall asleep.” It wasn’t something that I ever really expected to work for me.

Textless version cuz it’s cute

TL;DR - They’re bringing this up cuz Kroger’s trying to merge with Albertson’s. Other than that, it doesn’t seem like the FTC’s seeking any punitive measures, or seeking to curb any sort of profiteering.

crowdplay? 🤔

But we can say shit on the internet, and the world is pretty terrible.

The Google of streaming services.

I don’t think it’d be confusing if they either never show his face, or only show his face as heavily disfigured.

I did worry about his voice though, as RDJ has a pretty distinct accent and way of speaking, but then I reasoned that he’s a good enough actor to put on an accent, and that Latveria, being a fictional country, could justify a strange accent and mask his speech, no pun intended.

Looks great! Doesn’t seem like you have much rust to shake off, if any :)

Eyeshield 21 was a how-to manual.
