Salutations.

It is now 7:19 AM EST for me.

As I anticipated, I made more new ideas. What I did not anticipate is that I improved certain ideas I already made. Idea ‘Strength’, in my opinion, is an important idea that I believe may be useful to you, but that is in a context that is evaluated as if you are in school, like I am giving you an assignment. Since this is a blog, I don’t expect you to have the expectations of a school assignment to learn these ideas. I am not even obligating you to learn these ideas to begin with. And, in my opinion, there are adults that just want the answer anyway. Therefore, I am going to give you 2 more ‘story ideas’ designed by intent to give you more depth, like the previous list, and if I have time, I’ll try to type more in, and next week I’ll explain idea ‘Strength’, unless I change my mind again. The 1st idea uses a sense of work to help calm you, and the 2nd idea, well, many people in my opinion tend to be very stringent, very exact, when communicating with others, and the 2nd idea is going to use that to help people in general relax more. And as usual, you don’t have to use those ideas. In relation to advice said, you can take them apart, do what you want with them. You don’t have to use those ideas in it’s original form. So to speak, maybe you just want the free toy that’s in the cereal box. That’s up to you.

Before I begin, I want to help with a purchase that you may have made based on one of my past recommendations:

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

—

If you chose to use that shoe stretcher, then I have another recommendation to go with it:

12 Pack Multi-Purpose Jar Gripper Pad Rounds, Bottle Openers

—

It’s only about $8 dollars, and Prime one day shipping is available for it.

If you click ‘See all reviews’ from Amazon.com, there are 2,923 total ratings, 466 with reviews. Here are 3 quoted from from category ‘Looking for specific info?’:

Why would you need 12 of them? Do they wear out very quickly?

Answer:I use them under ceramic plant saucers to protect the wood window sill or scratchable surfaces. I have one in my bunny room to open gallon water jugs. I have three in my kitchen drawer and usingv3 together works better than one. Believe me when you have 12 you won’t know where they’ve all gone! Also keep one in a travel bag and one in your purse to open water bottles!

12 is a lot. They don’t wear out fast, helpful in opening jars and shucking corn cobs. Perhaps they are meant to be discarded after a while.

Mine don’t have time to wear out, I misplace them and I’m off to the drawer to get another. They never seem to reappear. I also have about four places I use them . Anyway, I have already received my second dozen and I’m working my way through them.

—

This is what I originally used:

Prepworks by Progressive Jar Grips Multi-Purpose Lid Openers, Set of 3

—

I purchased that, according to Amazon.com, on 2019. I used the blue square one to turn the knobs on my FootFitter. It works, allowing me to more tenably turn those knobs, but it broke. Yesterday, I found the jar gripper 12 pack, and I figured that, even if the 1st one broke after a short use, if you purchased it, if you bought the 12 pack, it’ only a matter of time before you got used to using it. Even if they will eventually break, they’re still $8 dollars for a pack of 12, giving you a lot of time for you to use them. I haven’t used them myself yet, but I ordered them yesterday, and I should get them delivered sometime today. It is my opinion that it should be a relief for you to use them, if you were turning the knobs with just your bare hands. Keep in mind that these jar grippers are designed for such situations. It’s not something you ‘MacGyvered’ to work, so to speak. And I’m not making money from this recommendation. It’s only a recommendation, something that I think may be useful for you.

—

It is now 8:05 AM EST for me. I’m going to look for that music video and trailer now. Soon after I prepare them later today, I’ll start typing again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 10:02 AM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Gatekeeper’ by Dylan Conrique. I found it from one of the publishers on my ‘Watch later’ list from my ‘signed-in’ youtube homepage, publisher InMusic Official. Search and select that phrase from www.youtube.com, select ‘VIDEOS’, and a video clip from the music video ‘Gatekeeper’ starts 51 seconds into that video collection. To watch music video ‘Gatekeeper’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘dylan gatekeeper’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 12 thousand views. It was published by publisher ‘Dylan Conrique’ as of now 22 hours ago. Here is a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Gatekeeper’:

Who do you think you’re saving?
The world is slowly breaking
I swear I’m strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders
And you can’t stop the changing
That everybody’s making
I’ll only get weaker if you stop me getting older
You can’t be the gatekeeper

—

And here is a link that I found in www.google.com using phrase ‘conrique gatekeeper reviews’, https://thehoneypop.com/. For some reason, I’m not able to ‘copy and paste’ the quote from that article, so I’m going to just type it in:

‘ Knowing an artist has the duality to express emotions through their words and voice just makes us feel even more connected. ‘Gatekeeper’ is such a raw look into growing up and dealing with emotions head-on. It’s crazy to think that after only two years of releasing music Dylan is putting out this caliber of art. ‘

—

I did another search in www.google.com for the phrase ‘dylan conrique biography’, and she was ‘Born: 2004 (age 18 years)’.

I recommend starting watching the music video 5 seconds in it’s beginning. You’ll see that girl several times more in the music video anyway. During the music video, in my opinion, Dylan Conrique is singing her song while wearing long johns, and there’s some sort of construction model she is tinkering with. No dancing, just her singing while moving around in one room. I can’t complain about the lyrics or the music video, and I still recommend that it’s to be used with this advice.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘The Portable Door(2023)’, starring Christoph Waltz as Humphrey Wells. Here’s a storyline quote from www.imdb.com:

‘ Paul Carpenter is an intern at a mysterious London firm with unconventional employers, including a CEO who wants to disrupt the ancient magical world with modern corporate practices. ‘

—

I found the movie trailer from one of the publishers presented from my ‘signed-in’ youtube homepage, publisher ‘Rapid Trailer’. Search and select that publisher from www.youtube.com, select ‘VIDEOS’, and it’s presented as one of the recently uploaded trailers. Because that trailer doesn’t present subtitles, something I think you may benefit from when watching the movie trailer, I searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘the portable door trailer’, and eventually chose the trailer from publisher ‘Madman Films’ because that offers subtitles. I recommend you watch that one, and select ‘CC'(subtitles) so that you can better understand what is going on while watching it.

In my opinion, when I watched the trailer ‘The Portable Door’ and it presented how ‘the portable door’ works, I thought it would make my travels a lot easier, and less than a minute ago, it’s important to keep in mind that it will take you wherever you want to go, so it’s important that you keep that in mind. You don’t want to go to a situation that you are not properly prepared for. In my opinion, the special effects in this movie trailer are incredibly convenient, and that watching it inspires the imagination, it’s ‘portable door’ concept.

—

It is now 10:53 AM EST for me.

I want to apologize for something that I typed in in this list:

‘ It’s not something you ‘MacGyvered’ to work… ‘

—

It was a mistake for me to say that, so I apologize for typing it in. I don’t want you to be overly sensitive for reading this blog. One reason why I’m clarifying this is because of the 2 ideas I plan to be typing in this blog, the 2nd idea, more specifically. If I get to it, you may notice why.

—

It is now 11:25 AM EST for me.

1st thing’s 1st. For this 1st idea, I’m going to recommend that kids imagine vacationing in a place for 1 week, and then you come back. You don’t have to use this idea if you don’t want to.

There are 2 reasons that I am using to make this idea. The main reason used to build this idea is, based on the article, celebrity Orlando Bloom’s experiences in Antarctica. I searched in www.google.com for phrase ‘orlando bloom antarctica’, and chose the article from www.forbes.com to make this idea. There are other articles that describe his experiences in Antartica, but I’m using the Forbes article. Here is a quote:

—

How An Adventure In Antarctica Changed Actor Orlando Bloom Forever

…how his escape to Antarctica changed his life.

Bloom’s cousin Sebastian Copeland is an environmental campaigner and photographer and was creating a photo book about Antarctica and Global Warning. They both decided to join a research mission for several weeks on board an old Norwegian icebreaker with no phone or emails. Bloom slept in a bunk and shared a toilet and shower with 27 other guys. He went into the experience for the promise of adventure in a dramatically remote region with no communication with the outside world.

Was this a luxury excursion through the region?

Bloom: “My mode of transport, my home for a few weeks was a 30 meter, 1960’s former Norwegian de-mining coastguard icebreaker … and the glamour, was not cocktails on the deck but rather literally being strapped into my bed and holding on for dear life as we embarked on the journey of a lifetime that began, with crossing the Drake Passage, a body of water which can be so rough they say it will make a man out of any sailor – and would easily humble the possibly, slightly inflated ego of a young movie star looking to escape the trappings of fame.”

—

I just want to get the kids ‘in the mood’ for this story. Taking the inapproprieties out of that article, you’re just going to imagine participating in this story, the story time is just 1 week, what you’ll do when imagining it. Of course, it’s just imagined. You’re not going to spend all that time like celebrity Orlando Bloom did in Antarctica, and you’re only imagining a weeks’s worth. If you want to read other articles about Bloom’s experiences in Antarctica, in relation to advice said, be my guest.

The 2nd reason is to use an imagined sense of work to help you cultivate more a sense of relaxation, more of a sense of solace. Refurbished for advice with inaproprieities removed, to start us off, I’m using a quote from the sci-fi movie ‘Blade Runner 2049(2017)’ starring Lennie James as Mister Cotton. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts, according to Amazon Video, 1 hour, 7 minutes, and 3 seconds into the movie. Here is a quote:

Mister Cotton: ‘The nickel is for the colonial ships. Closest any of them or any of us is gonna get to that grand life off-world. And I encourage play, I do. Keeps ’em occupied and it makes ’em nimble, right? (chuckles) But it’s work. It’s work that molds them into a child worth havin’. ‘

—

You may watch more of that movie, in relation to advice, but this is the quote that I recommend that you recall when using this idea:

Mister Cotton: ‘It’s work that molds them into a child worth havin’. ‘

—

It’s a sci-fi movie, and that scene is from an orphanage. In fact, according to the movie, one of the main characters, Dr. Ana Stelline(Carla Juri) is from that orphanage. It’s messed up, I know, but you’re just using that scene to have a positive sense of work being useful to you. When I recall Mister Cotton saying that, to me, it feels like it’s working.

Two more references, to prepare you for the story. I’m using the definition of ‘Sabbatical’ from www.dictionary.com to describe this idea, but I’m not giving it the name ‘Sabbatical’:

(lowercase) any extended period of leave from one’s customary work, especially for rest, to acquire new skills or training, etc.

—

So, this imagined idea is to mostly participate in a sabbatical with the Q Continuum for about a week, 6 days. The last day, you’ll be a member of the Star Trek: Voyager crew for only a few episodes, episodes that are acceptable for a kid to participate in with the inapproprieities removed, get back to Earth, and then back to where you are, all within 1 imagined week. So, imagined, 6 days with the Q Continuum, and 1 day with the Voyager crew.

So, let’s prepare you with 2 ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ episodes. The 1st episode uses a scene in episode 3.11 ‘The Q and the Grey’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Voyager(1996)’, to introduce you to Female Q(Suzie Plakson). The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 14 minutes and 59 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Q(John de Lancie): ‘Kathryn Janeway, may I present… Q.’

Female Q(Suzie Plakson): ‘Not just any Q– His Q’

Q: ‘We were involved for a while.’

Female Q: ‘About four billion years.’

—

The 2nd reference is in episode 7.18 ‘Q2’ from ‘Star Trek: Voyager(2001)’. Refurbished with inapproprieities removed, that will be one of the ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ episodes you will be in, where you will meet Q2(Keegan de Lancie), the son of Q and Female Q. I’ll explain the meeting later in this story.

It is now 12:27 PM EST for me.

All right. So, if you agree to this imagined sabbatical, you will be with the Q Continuum for an imagined 6 days. When you are there, you will live in a house that looks like a normal house I guess. The area looks normal. It’s not meant to by ‘showy’, and you will interact with the adult Q’s. They will talk to you like American philosopher teachers, and they will bring you to places within reality(alternate realities, schools of thought, etc.) where you will work like a construction worker. Don’t worry, you will be transported there and working with one of the Q, and you will be working with the powers that Q deems appropriate. It won’t be work that is unacceptable for you to do, just seeminly minor labor from several various places throughout reality, Q will teleport? you there and back, and then you’ll be brought back to that house where you are staying, living, and sleeping in. If you choose to, you can accept visitors from other Q adults. For example, one of the visitors that you may want to talk to is that Female Q from ‘The Q and the Grey’ episode. The rest of the Q present themselves in the form that looks like other members from the crew of ‘Star Trek: Voyager’. For example, when I imagined talking to one of them, I pretty much just talked to a Q that looked like the Vulcan Lt. Tuvok(Tim Russ). While I was there, he explained to me that the children Q are the ones that use and present the obvious power that many other aliens often associate with Q. Most of the adult Q’s, based on their definition of what an adult Q is, they don’t present such power at all.

So, the Q that you will choose to work with, you get to choose how that Q looks from the ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ crew main characters. For example, if you choose a female member, a female Q that will work with you for most of your stay will choose to look like that female member of Star Trek: Voyager. You will hear a lot of acceptable philosophical banter from them, in a reasonable pace of course, and when you want to talk to them.

After your imagined 6 day stay, you will be placed in an episode of ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ for let’s say 4 episodes. The 1st acceptable episode is to get your bearings, then the Q2 episode, and then 2 more episodes, you’re back on Earth, and then you imagine being sent back to where you are.

It is now 12:47 PM EST for me.

Now to prepare you for you meeting with Q2(Keegan de Lancie). Based on the episode ‘Q2’, Q2 is being punished. Capt. Kathryn Janeway(Kate Mulgrew) is helping Q2 with certain issues, and that’s where you come in. Since you’re also in that Voyager ship when that happens, you may choose to give Q2 some words, to help him feel better.

[2/11/2023: It is now 7:25 AM EST for me. I’ve changed the music background reference used. I’m still using that music background used, the one with the trumpets/horns playing in the background, but I’ve changed the ‘Star Trek’ episode reference. I don’t know what that particular music score is called, but I can still quote when it was played in what episode. 2/11/23]

For that event, I recommend a particular music background found in episode 2.2 ‘Who Mourns for Adonais?’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek(1967)’. That episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 6 minutes and 50 seconds into that episode. You’re only going to use that background music. I believe that background music was played in other episodes, at least 2 episodes, but I am only using that episode to help you remember that background music, and remove the inapproprieities/don’t use them. Here’s the quote:

Lieutenant Nyota Uhura(Nichelle Nichols): ‘Activity on hailing channel 3, sir.’

Captain Kirk(William Shatner): ‘Put it on audio, Lieutenant.’

Apollo(Michael Forest): ‘The eons have passed… and what has been written has come about. You are most welcome, my beloved children. Your places await you.’

Captain Kirk: ‘Response frequency, Lieutenant.’

Lieutenant Uhura: ‘Calculated. Channel open, sir.’

Apollo: ‘You have left your plains and valleys and made this bold venture. So it was in the beginning. You have made me proud. Now you can rest.’

—

[2/11/2023: It is now 7:44 AM EST for me. I know that it took me a week to change that background music reference. I changed it for the sake of the ‘future kids’ and others reading it in the future. I don’t want the parents of the ‘future kids’ complaining to me, that certain references should be changed for better ones. At least I’m trying to avoid those complaints. 2/11/2023]

The background music starts when Apollo started talking. With that background music, ring Q2’s door to request to talk to him, hear that music background, walk up to him, and give Q2 one of those quotes that one of the Q adults told you. He’ll smile at you, since you remind him of home and other things Q, and within reason, just imagine why Q2 feels good when you said that quote to you.

—

And that’s the moment, when you talked to Q2 and helped him feel better. Soon after that, you get back to Earth, and then you get back to where you are.

—

It is now 1:03 PM EST for me.

In my opinion, it took me too long to type in that idea. I don’t want to finish past 2:00 PM, like I did last week, so I’m going to close this list now. Next week, I plan to type in that 2nd idea, unless I change my mind again, and another idea if I have time, and then the following week, that ‘Strength’ idea, again, unless I change my mind. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

Oh yeah, since you just imagined it, you don’t have to say to Q2 anything specific. Just imagine saying something to him, one of those philosophical things that one of those Q said to you. You don’t have to know specifically what that it. It could be an actual philosophical quote that represents it. It’s not actually that quote. The quote just represents it. It could be any phrase you want. You can just mumble, and that mumble represents it. That’s up to you, and you can change it.

And, of course, you don’t have to use this idea. You can just use it sometimes, or not at all. You can take it apart, change it’s details. In relation to advice said, it’s up to you.

—

It is now 1:10 PM EST for me.

Fantasy viewer discretion for movie ‘The Portable Door'(Just recommending to watch trailer). Rated TV-PG sci-fi violence, viewer discretion for tv series ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ and ‘Star Trek’. Use only refurbished for advice references recommended. Throw away rest of episode, series, and movie. Use idea(I did not think of a name for it) for reference, allocation, and prevention when needed.
