"That thing's haunted! I don't want it back!"

Is lazy town classified as a cartoon? It's certainly in fever dream territory, no argument there.

True. There was that one annoying dude on GoT that experienced such.

Just a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can't stop binging it.

Lead, thallium, mercury... metals not friendly to direct human contact. I find it rad that if we add a few more protons we get a pretty, shiny metal that won't melt our brains.*

I live next to protected wetlands and in a generally swampy area. Yes, there are clouds of insects.

I'm not a fan of spiders and dealing with cobwebs, but since moving here, I have declared a truce with them. We try not to keep any lights on near doors to minimize bugs getting into the house when we come and go. And UV sticky traps are very effective and always shock me with how many they can accrue overnight. We have a regular bug service coming too. Creepy crawlies are just part of life here.

The hvac control panel.

The furnace and ac units are both great, but the control panel will sometimes just, idk, dissociate. I can change settings and it displays them, but they don't "take". It won't relay those changes to its bigger brethren. In order to snap it back to reality, I have to go out to the garage and flip the breaker because there's no other way to power cycle it.

There are spiders in the garage. And they are prolific with their webs, especially where I need to walk to get to the breaker panel.

So when the hvac panel glitches, it's a whole ordeal to fix it.

My mom and her calico would play tag. It started as peek-a-boo where she hid and the cat stalked her, but then kitty would run off and wanted to be stalked back. When either one was found, you had to go "boo!" with spooky claw fingers.

Yeah, chronically low. Technically just barely within normal, but too low to donate. I've got other things going on, and see my doc every 3-6 months (with labwork). I guess it's just normal enough to not be fiddled with now yet still annoying.

I hear it frequently too and bp is low-normal. I can hear it when my ear is laying on a pillow, and I also hear my ear moving with the pulse against the fabric, not just hearing the pulse on its own. This will be in the middle of the night (i.e. no activity, low resting heartrate). But I can also sometimes hear it when I'm sitting upright. I hear it after doing cardio, which may be normal. The ear wiggling thing against the pillow irritates me tho because it keeps me awake and I prefer side sleeping.

I've had a few relatives with this mindset. My advice is try the comfortably now and find a little part time gig later to supplement income and provide activity.
