Salutations.

It is now 7:04 AM EST for me.

Before I begin, I want to recommend again something that you may find useful. You don’t have to buy it, there’s no obligation, just helpful advice, and I’m not getting paid to advertise it, for example, a sponsor. I have nothing against legitimate sponsoring, I’m just clarifying my actions.

I mentioned in the past that my small left toe experiences some discomfort. I tried various things, some? I believed helped. Recently, the discomfort is back when I would be on my feet for a period of time. While not working, I would not wear socks, and the discomfort is reduced considerably. I used that logic to purchase these things from Amazon.com:

FootFitter Set of 2 Heavy Duty Premium Professional 2-Way Shoe Stretcher, Stretches Length & Width, Loosen Tight Shoes

—

It’s about $100 for 2 of them, and I purchased them yesterday. I haven’t used them yet, but if not wearing socks would make my small left toe feel better, than according to my use of logic, these shoe stretchers should also allow my small left toe to feel better. If you are considering purchasing a pair, keep in mind to purchase the ‘2-way’ option. There is another option that stretches the width, but not the length, of the shoe. I recommend the ‘2-way’ option. And after you purchased it, and you think you need a bigger or smaller one, then returns should be easy. Last time I checked, just go to your local UPS store to return them, with the return code from Amazon.com. Here’s an edited comment(just took a few words out) from the Amazon link:

‘ Having little feet is not a problem. The problem lies in their width; mine are wide – as in duck feet wide. The minute I found these shoe stretchers I knew that I had found the answer to my life-long quest. I shall have shoes that fit my odd feet. After reading the short instruction booklet, I began to “play” with my new “machine.” Well, it IS a mechanical answer to my quest. I took out a pair of shoes (We will not mention brands here, but suffice to say that the shoes are midrange priced and casual style.). I sprayed in the stretching solution, slipped in the stretchers, and began the process of fitting my shoes. That complete, I left them to cure for 24 hours; the booklet says less, but I am a firm believer in a 24-hour process. At 24 hours, I removed the mechanisms and slid my feet into the shoes. (edited) They no longer squeezed by little toes. The shoes were not sloppy or loose; they fit well, but no longer pinched. (edited) This stretching set worked, it’s not complicated, and it’s worth every dime it cost me. ‘

—

To be clear, I just ordered them yesterday, I didn’t get them yet, but I believe they should work for me.

—

It is now 7:27 AM EST for me.

I just changed my order:

FootFitter Premium Professional 2-Way Shoe Stretcher, Stretches Length & Width, Strong & Heavy Duty Construction

—

It’s about $60 each, and I ordered 2 for Prime One day shipping. It’s $20 more, but if you have Prime shipping, then you should receive your order the next day.

I forgot to mention that I cancelled my previous order, and made this new order.

—

It is now 7:32 AM EST for me. I’m going to look for that music video and trailer now. After I prepared them and start typing again later today, I’ll give you my proposal as to what I will type in. So, if you are there later today, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 7:35 AM EST for me.

I forgot to give you my current status with my PHP update for using this blog. I have 6 error messages in the beginning, but the PHP update is successful, with the 3 year use of the ‘restore and backup’ program they offered. As long as I am able to continue to type, and people are able to read it, I don’t see those error messages as an issue. I was thinking of having another chat with Ipage customer support, but that’s not a priority. Since I’m assuming that kids may be reading this blog, and some of them have their own blog because of this blog, if you need to have your PHP updated as well, and you don’t know how to do it on your own, the expense as far as I can tell only involves using their ‘backup and restore’ program, and that’s not that much a year if you are using Ipage. According to the message that I read from my blog, WordPress will no longer support out of date PHP, so it’s a necessity that you update it. If you can purchase that ‘backup and restore’ program, then it’s only a matter of you requesting and giving permission from someone from customer support to give you that ‘backup and restore’ program, and to request and give permission for customer support to upgrade your PHP for you to the latest version. If you manage to do that, you may also get error messages, but you can always chat with customer support about that as well later. If you need permission from your parents?, or if you need one of them to do it for you, that is also a recommendation. The urgency is that WordPress will no longer support older versions of PHP, which could mean that your blog may no longer work. Show that message from your blog to your parents, since I don’t want your blog to just shut down, when such a problem can be avoided.

Anyway, I’m going to look for that music video and trailer now.

—

It is now 10:17 AM EST for me.

I looked at the 4 references to look for music videos, and disappointingly, I couldn’t find one. The process is time consuming. After doing that, I decided to use one of the music videos that I saved in advance, saved in www.youtube.com, category ‘Watch later’. Before I start, what I’m about to say about it feels like I’m ‘lining it up’ to be criticized/ridiculed by the men reading this blog, but that is not my intent. And here it is: the music video that I selected reminds me of the intro from tv series ‘Elementary(2012-2019)’ starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes. In that intro, based on my interpretation, a ball bearing moves around a maze while the theme song for ‘Elementary’ is being played. The music video that I watched in it’s entirety for the 1st time earlier today and recommend to be watched/used for this advice is called ‘Hold It Together’ by The Marías. Here is a quote from the lyrics:

I got a feelin’
That I wanna slow down with you
Nobody else will ever do
I got a feelin’
That I wanna be there with you
Nobody else will ever do

—

And here is a quote from link https://northerntransmissions.com/ that I found in www.google.com searching for phrase ‘the marias hold it together music video reviews’:

… is a surreal, Lynchian visual that features lush red velvet and reflective orbs that seem to have a life and magnetism of their own.

‘ …As an introvert on tour and the only woman in a band, I was extremely anxious and stressed during this time. I think the song represents my inner turmoil. We also wanted the video to represent this as well. Bethany’s concept captured it beautifully. The chrome balls, from my perspective, almost represented my brain. I wanted to console it and hold it, but at times, it got too much for me to bear and it spiraled out of control. ‘

—

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘the marias hold it together’, it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 1.7 million views. It was published by publisher ‘The Marias’.

Here is a quote about ‘The Marias’ from www.wikipedia.org:

‘ The Marías are an American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California. They are known for performing songs in both English and Spanish, as well as infusing their music with elements like jazz percussion, guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals, and horn solos.[1] María Zardoya is the lead vocalist with Josh Conway on drums. ‘

—

In my opinion, as I was watching the music video ‘Hold It Together’ earlier today, I thought it was mildly strange. There are various shapes of orbs/ball bearings illustrated in the music video, and María Zardoya is interacting with many of them. I like the special effects.

—

Before I recommend the movie trailer, I want to say that it is my belief that many practiced cultures and beliefs in America, such people are oblivious/do not even know many things that are important to people who practice other forms of cultures and beliefs other than their own. My point is that there are many things that you consider important as you interact in America that people who practice other beliefs other than your beliefs, they are not even aware of such importance! The reason I’m saying this is because I’m using the music video as an example of fortifying perspective, that the 2 main characters, the 2 sisters in that movie trailer, they have a sense of self fortifying perspective that I find useful to know about, but even such an illustration example of self fortifying perspective, people who practice other beliefs may not even be aware of such a thing. Anyway, The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and, refurbished for advice, recommend for this advice, is called ‘Polite Society’. I found it from publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Trailers’. Just search for that phrase in www.youtube.com, select that publisher, select ‘VIDEOS’, and movie trailer ‘Polite Society’ is one of the 1st trailers offered. It has 35 thousand views, and was published 2 days ago. Here is a summary from link https://www.metacritic.com/ that I found from searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘polite society movie reviews’:

‘ A merry mash up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment and bold action, Polite Society follows martial artist-in-training Ria Khan who believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood. ‘

—

It’s an action and comedy movie, so the self fortifying perspectives are also illustrated by comedy movie illustrated flying kicks and stunts.

I’m just recommending that you watch the trailer, not the movie.

—

It is now 11:48 AM EST for me.

All right. Here’s the proposal: The 1st thing that I’ll do is make a comment for idea ‘Admit happen’ from Wishlist #1356. And then I’ll make 3 stories. The purpose of those stories is to give you something contemplationally more to work with, to prepare you more for the strategy ideas that I will type in next. The 1st story is a ‘Humility’ story, using the ambiance that I watched from the ‘Beastmaster(1999-2002)’ tv series starring Daniel Goddard as Dar, and from the movie ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever(2022)’, a movie that I didn’t even watch yet. The 2nd story is based on a few scenes from episode 1.1 ‘Josh Just Happens to Live Here!’ from comedy musical tv series ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend(2015)’, and the 3rd story uses a few scenes from episode 2.3 ‘Your Newfound Popularity’ from tv series ‘Fate: The Winx Saga(2022)’. So, if you want to continue to read, there’s the proposal.

Admit happen(revisited):

Here’s a quote from Wishlist #1356 for idea ‘Admit happen’:

Here’s the explanation for idea ‘Admit happen’: An instigator improperly imposes upon you a sense of admitting, instigation related, that causes you to think about it further as if it actually happened, but the reality(in the context of this advice) is that such a sense of admitting is false, it is not true. For example, you experience some sort of instigation which creates a sense of admitting that causes you to think about that sense of admitting from time to time, but the truth is that, soon after causing you to experience that sense of admitting from that instigator, let’s say this situation occurred at work, that instigator was confronted about that incident by management, and eventually that instigator admitted to management that the imposed admitting was false, and that the instigator does not subscribe to such a sense of admitting. In the meantime, however, you are still from time to time interacting with that sense of admitting, even though that instigator not only confessed that it was not true, but also said to managment that the instigator is also not subscribed to such a sense of admitting.

If you choose to use idea ‘Admit happen’, if you have such an idea at work, and an instigator imposes upon you once again a sense of admitting, and you suspect that such a sense of admiiting is false, and that instigator if confronted by management, would confess that such a sense of admitting was false, and that even that instigator would confess that he/she is also not subscribed to such a sense of admitting, then you may choose to ‘get rid of the middleman’, so to speak, and treat that experience as a sense of admitting that did not happen. When you contemplationally say ‘Admit happen’, you are choosing to evaluate an instigation and/or inadvertency as ‘a sense of admitting that did not happen’. You’re choosing to not use that sense of admitting.

—

Normally, I don’t make direct comments about ideas that I had already typed in. Sure, I could use them to make new ideas. Anyway, here it is: the instigator doesn’t have to actually confess in order for you to disavow/dismiss what they had showed you. The idea is that, if the instigator talked to management/teachers about what they had done to you, then that instigator may confess to it, and may even say that he/she would never do it again. The purpose for using idea ‘Admit happen’ is to mitigate/lessen the adverse/bothersome experienced instigation effects. Even if the instigator never confesses to it, the idea is that ‘if’ the instigator talked about it to management/teachers, then the likely result is that he/she would confess and also say that he/she would no longer do that to you. It’s like that Star Trek quote I offered you in Wishlist #1356:

The scene is near end of movie ‘Star Trek V: The Final Frontier(1989)’. The movie is available from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 37 minutes, and 33 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Korrd(Charles Cooper): ‘Kirk, my junior officer has something to say to you.’

I think it’s Captain Klaa(Todd Bryant), but I’m not sure: ‘I apologize. The attack upon your vessel was not authorized by my government.’

—

Based on my interpretation of the movie, Korrd brought his junior officer’s actions to the Klingon government, and it was validated that his junior officer attacked Kirk’s vessel without authorization. But let’s say that did not happen. ‘If’ Korrd brought his junior officer’s actions to the attention of the Klingon government, then the government would validate tht Korrd’s junior officer did not get authorization to attack Kirk’s vessel. In other words, the instigator does not need to actually confess to management/teachers in order for you to disavow/dismiss his/her bothersome actions. You can just do it, if you choose to. Idea ‘Admit happen’ is supposed to help you make that decision, if you choose to do it. (Keep in mind that this is an addendum, an addition to the original idea ‘Admit happen’. Whether or not I had it in mind, I did not type this in before.)

Using idea ‘Admit happen’ again, I am addressing something that I talked about before. I’ll just call it ‘The involvement game’. I made the speculation that new employees who choose to instigate other employees based on certain forms of information that they had discovered, I speculated that they always use the wrong involvement. When management explains to them that how they are using that information, that they are using the wrong involvement, then what they would usually do is establish an involvement interaction with their jobs that is acceptable to use, with management’s help.

Using what they had learned from management and their group participations, I speculated that they may use that experience to encourage you to… this is based on how your contemplations and deductions are presented to others. I’m assuming that you have no intentions of presenting such contemplations and deductions, since none of those things were presented to you officially. However, since certain instigators may be in instigation groups where you work, I speculated that they may use their experience to encourage you to manifest your imaginations, and I call them ‘imaginations’ since they were never meant to be presented to anyone in the 1st place, to manifest your imaginations as if they were real events. So, you were never informed, you did not even agree to actually address or discuss such things with others, therefore the instigator is adversely encouraging you to manifest your imaginations as if they were real, something that they learned from their ‘involvement’ mistakes. The solution is, if it actually happens at work and if you have the contemplation time, you may contemplationally remind yourself that, based on their ‘involvement’ experience, he/she/they? are simply? adversely encouraging you to use your imaginations as if they were real.

It is now 12:40 PM EST for me.

All right. The 1st story uses the ambiance from the ‘Beastmaster’ tv series, you can just watch one episode to get that sense of ambiance, and from the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ movie. That gives you the setting. Here’s the story. Oh, keep in mind that I imagined the whole thing: Several companies, with the help of a specific college, created a short term humility project for their employees, and to give it further usefulness and legitimacy, they arranged for this project to be provided in the form of a college course. The ‘Humility’ project is in 2 parts: 1)the written test, which is done in the college’s intranet, and 2)the ‘in the field’ test, which looks like a scene from the series ‘Beastmaster’ and the movie ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’. A bunch of actors who are all African American, maintain a scene that simulates a fantasy village, where participants learn to interact with the villagers with the help of a teenage girl. The girl is also an actor, but the teenage girl can be from any nationality. She doesn’t always have to be African American, and she’s not an actress. The program gets participants from several local high schools. So, if you were a woman that took the college course, the woman would interact with the teenage girl who is helping her participate in the village. There is one moment during the interaction when the teenage girl would present herself with the woman to the leader of that village, and they would both be kneeling in front of the leader. The teenage girl would explain to the leader the participations of this visitor, and making further requests to allow her to continue to be in the village. All of the women who took that college course so far has passed the course on the 1st try. I imagine certain short moments when women would take that test, noticing how well the women synchronize to the teenage girls.

As for the men, it’s like a scene from the tv series ‘First Wave(1998-2001)’. I don’t remember the specific episode’s name, but I remember Joshua(Roger Cross) also taking a test. He would everything about that test except the last part, which involves I think some sort of computer hacking, and he has difficulty finishing the last part of that test. The same is true for the men. Many of the men who take that test fail it the 1st time. The guide is still a teenage girl, and it takes several tries for the men to pass that test. And since it’s a college course, you can’t just keep trying and trying and trying. If you fail the test 10 times, you will have to wait for next semester to enroll in it again.

I imagined that a common mistake made in such situations is to evaluate something that is simple to learn as something that is not relevant to learn, or it’s something that can be allocated out, since it’s simple to learn. I believe that, based on how non-managerial employees learn in general, how they strive with difficulties, since learning is normally associated with some sort of difficulty, then people in general would associate certain aspects of learning with some difficulty. If it doesn’t have some difficulty, then it may be allocated, or dismissed altogether. That ‘Humility’ project, even though it’s very easy for women to learn, you still have to take the course in order to learn from it.

The Rebecca Bunch story:

It is now 1:27 PM EST for me. Less than a minute ago, I decided to call this idea ‘The Rebecca Bunch story’, since it’s about the main character from the comedy series ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend(2015)’. I didn’t really watch this show. I only watched a few scenes from this show.

The idea is just based on a few beginning scenes from it’s 1st episode, episode 1.1 ‘Josh Just Happens to Live Here!’ from tv series ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend(2015)’. It’s available streaming from Amazon.com and from Netflix’s streaming service. I’ll use Amazon.com as a streaming reference. I originally thought that, when Rebecca went to camp, it was law camp, not theatrical performance camp. Here is a quote from the wiki, https://cxg.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Canyon_Grove:

‘ Camp Canyon Grove was a summer musical camp for kids which specialized in theatrical performance. Years ago when they were teenagers Rebecca Bunch and Josh Chan both attended the camp. The two dated until camp was over and Josh broke up with her. The brief relationship formed at camp would eventually have significant repercussions on both thier lives a decade later. The camps first appearance was in the Season One episode “Josh Just Happens to Live Here!”. ‘

—

So, refurbished with inaproprieities removed, I used the beginning scenes from it’s 1st episode to make this idea, and here it is: When Rachel was a kid, she complained to her mom about something unfair that she experienced. They both went to that person, and Rachel’s mom cited legal precedents to that man, and the man apologized to Rachel, and offered some sort of compensation. That was the moment Rachel’s mom prepared Rachel to become a lawyer.

Rachel’s mom introduced Rachel to other classmates whose parents were also in the legal profession. Rachel’s mom met those parents when parents would be allowed to attend a teacher’s conference, and other similar meetings. They would often offer legal advice to those teachers and faculty. She wanted to make sure that Rachel had relevant social interactions. Sure, she can talk to and interact with other students in school, but she wanted Rachel to interact with other students who had common interests. And for other characteristics, she encouraged Rachel and her friends with parents who were in the legal profession to attend Law Camp.

Later, while Rebecca is a practicing lawyer, a lawyer was told by other lawyers that what he was missing they were able to attain during ‘Law Camp’. That male lawyer later attended Law Camp, even though he is an adult lawyer, and Law Camp are for kids and teenagers.

It’s 1:48 PM EST for me. I’m going to close this list now. I don’t feel like typing today anymore. I took too long looking for a new music video. My mistake. Hopefully, you will still find useful what I had already typed in in this list. Next week, I’m going to recommend to you more ‘strategy ideas’, unless I change my mind again. So if you are there next week, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 2:00 PM EST for me.

Just a few minutes ago, I remembered something about how I created that moment, when instigators may encourage you to use your imaginations as if they are real. During that moment, I thought about that scene in the movie ‘Divergent(2014)’, starring Shailene Woodley as Tris. During some sort of mind simulation, Tris was able to discover that what she was experiencing wasn’t real, and she even said to herself quote:

Tris: ‘This isn’t real.’

—

Later in the movie, they discussed certain details of the experience after the fact, further validating that the experience wasn’t real. I recalled somewhat both of those moments when I invented that idea. The movie ‘Divergent’ is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 28 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Tris:(while looking at a reflection of herself) ‘This isn’t real.’

—

All right. So, I’ll see you next Saturday if you are there.
