I send digital Amazon gift cards all the time. I suppose, theoretically, the electrons could go astray between your computer and their computer, but I havenβt had any issues so far. π
That might explain why theyβve called you to come pick them up rather than driving themselves
Sigh, I get it. I really do. But please consider β youβve got pals on here who, if we were within an hour or twoβs drive, would drop everything to bring you groceries/walk Edgar/make sure youβre not unconscious on the floor over there. Your irl community might surprise you, if you let them
Hold onto it until 2028, Iβm sure itβll be competitive somewhere around there!
No one, or no one youβd feel comfortable asking for anything, even though theyβve asked you in the past?

Too bad the TX primaries have already passed, you couldβve run it against Cornyn and Paxton for the senate nomination
π Youβve spent years going out of your way to help anyone who asks; is it possible that one or more of the beneficiaries of those efforts can check in/run errands/whatever in Boyβs absence?

One thing I think is bad is when a single corporation controlled by a single malicious billionaire is permitted to become a foundational aspect of society. This makes me a radical.
Whoβs this guy? He looks like a guy who got cleaned up for a documentary shoot to tell us about the cool new species of dinosaur his team discovered in Montana last summer π¦

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that donβt fit because theyβre scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.

Not ideal.
Folk faith sorceries often deploy like to thwart like. A system of sympathetic magic to defeat hostilities believed to be walking abroad. The placement of Wicker Queens on agricultural land as field wards is an example of imitative practice and many a farmer will tell you it works. β Dr. M. Benn
Oh, sorry. Were you thinking "refreshing lemonade," or "delightful sorbet desserts," or "beach sunsets?!" Wrong! It's almost time for people to fall off ladders. Remain vigilant.
Holy crap, thatβs terrifying. Your dad was fortunate to have survived it!
