Thursday Thirteen

I'm doing today's Thursday Thirteen by typing in something in Bing and seeing what the autocomplete offers. And then I'll expound upon it if I feel like it.

1. I need . . . a hero. Don't we all need a hero, someone in a cape to come swooshing in to save the day? Or somebody simply to enfold us in a hug?

2. I need . . . help. Help! I need somebody! Ok, wrong song, maybe. I suspect we all also need help with something or another. Even if it's just a better way to cook pork.

3. I need . . . you. And I do, whoever you are. Thank you for reading my blog and being part of my world, even if I never know you. I appreciate the fact that you share some time with me here.

4. I need . . . money. Doesn't everyone, except the rich dudes like Elon Musk & Bezos & Gates? My husband and I were watching a show and the announcer mentioned a painting someone bought for $110 million dollars. If that person instead had given the money away in increments of $100,000, he could have helped 1,100 individuals. A hundred thousand dollars would pay off a lot of people's bills, help a lot of retirement funds, ease 1,100 tired minds. Or the person could have given 2,200 people $50,000 and that would have helped many folks, too. But, it's his/her money, so if they want a mult-million-dollar painting, they buy a painting.

5. I need . . . a new butt book. (Ok, I have no clue what this means.) WTF?

6. I want . . . my invite code. I would like an invitation, too, only I don't go out much anymore.

7. I want . . . to eat your pancreas. (Total eww factor on this one. WTF?)

8. I want . . . to know what love is. Love is an intangible, and it means different things to different people. Some people think they say I love you when they give you things. Some people think they say I love you when they give you time. Some people think you're supposed to know you love them without them ever having to say it. It's infinite and finite all at the same time, conditional and unconditional all at the same time, timeless and time-limited all at the same time.

9.  I am . . . jazz. I'm not even going to expound on this one, I just like what it says.

10. I am . . . Sam. Sam I am? Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings? 

11. I hope . . . you dance. Dancing is good for the soul. Even if you look bad doing it.

12. I hope . . . they serve beer in hell. (Well, why not?)

13. I hope . . . this works. Yeah, me too!
