Now, you are going to be astounded -- excuse me -- by the gas coming out of my face. [Theme music] Welcome to episode 48 of Delete This History A podcast by two besties of a certain age Searching for answers, we're your host Cara Burch And Brea Brown Hi girl Hello Let's just dive right into this Okay Bookmarks for today, I only have one Okay. The Kevin Bacon version of Footloose. Sean and I have never seen this movie and the Alamo was airing it on this week and we went and saw it and let me tell you, it's actually a good movie. Yes, I've heard that. I was expecting, I bought these tickets thinking, okay, this is gonna be a fun, terrible movie night, we can just make fun of it and just, you know, enjoy a terrible movie. It was a good movie. I know. I enjoyed it. It actually has like a plot and like. The jokes are actually funny. They hold up. Dare I say the entire movie holds up. Wow. I could not believe we walked out and I said that was not what I was expecting. I wonder why they felt the need to remake it. I don't know, but I'm a little bit interested to see it. But I probably won't watch it. But anyway, hey y'all, if you haven't seen Footloose ever. Or maybe it's been since 1984 when this came out. Watch it again, it's totally worth it. I bet there are a lot of people, a lot of DTH besties who have never seen it. I haven't ever seen it. Is that right? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Because it was like kind of before my, Right. Before I would ever watch movies, because I was only in what, six. We were very young. Little babies. And we didn't go to the movies very much. We didn't either. Because that cost money. Yes. And then when I got to the age where I did like movies, it was too old. It was too old. I don't want to watch that. That's lame-o. So it's excellent. Yes. So that is my recommendation. Okay. Watch 1984 Footloose. Okay. Um, I have a bookmark. I'm still watching time-lapse videos. I am addicted. I can't stop. It's okay. It's just so satisfying. Because you go from chaos to neat in seconds. It's just like, I wish cleaning my house was like that. Yes, time lapse. I wish I could time lapse clean my house. Yes, or clean your house and fast forward. All right. That would be nice. I wish I could scrub as fast as these people scrub with their razors. Tch tch another time lapse channel. It's called Nobody Should Be Forgotten. And this guy goes and he cleans graves, like gravestones. Yes. And then he tells a little bit about the person. He does research about the person whose gravestone he's cleaning. And so as he's cleaning it, there will be like words that come up on the, it's not really captions. I guess it kind of is captions. I almost said Chyron, like we were back at the TV station. I was just getting ready to say. But words will come up on the screen while he's cleaning, and it will tell you information about this person. Nice. So he does a little bit of research, and he scrubs the crap, like lichen and moss and all kinds of stuff off of these gravestones. You can't even see the names or the dates on them when he starts, and then when he's done, it's beautiful. I love that. It's so sweet. Will you clean my grave someday if I go first? Mmm, sure. Thank you. You won't have to clean my grave. Cause I'm gonna be a tree. Oh, that's right, you're gonna be a tree. I will water you. Will you prune my branches? 100%. You bet I will. And I'll use very sharp prunes so I don't hurt you. That's so nice. It sounded really dirty when I said, will you prune my branches? Will you? Okay, and then there's one more cleaning video. Yes. Her name is Ari Katarina and she is Finnish and she has the cutest accent and she's blonde, you know, like they all are. Of course. And she's got her hair like in French braid ponytails. Oh my gosh. And she's just a dynamo and she loves cleaning like the worst places. She's like diving into trash and it's probably not very healthy. But she does a great job, but then she talks about the person whose home she's cleaning and why this person needed her help, because she only does like extreme cases. Oh, okay. And the way she talks cracks me up. She'll say, there was so many trashes. Because she does it in English, which good for her. Like I don't know more than one language. But then she'll be like, there were so many trashes. that I had to blah blah, you know, like, or I had, I had seven bags of trashes just from this kitchen. It's adorable, she's adorable. Love it. Excellent. And yeah, that's it. Okay. That's all I got for bookmarks. Well, all right, there's nothing wrong with that. Short and sweet. Yeah, it was just one of those weeks, you know? Where all you do, when all you do is sit and watch time-lapse videos, you can't really. experience other things. Right, that's that was your experience. Yeah, that was it. Well, we're not here to continually talk about time-lapse videos, Brea. Why not? Well, because we have to do The Reading of the Lists. Oh, okay. In this segment, we tell you our top three most interesting, funniest, most successful internet searches of the week in list form. And it's even Number two, witness marks. Number three, Svaldbard global seed vault. Wow, that's some words all in a row there. Okay, here's my list. Number one, MacGuffin or McGuffin. Can be spelled either way. Okay. Number two, upcycled paint. Number three, let them cook meaning. Okay. Are you ready? So ready. What are we gonna do now? We're gonna play a game and it's called. Search Me! This is where we each pose one question to each other and see if she can answer based only on the reading of the list. Brea. Uh huh. Today you are playing for. . . This packet of. . . affirmation cards. I saw these and I thought oh my gosh she could just give these to her kiddos whenever they just need a little boost or they've had a little bad day or maybe she could just tape one to her monitor for herself or maybe put one in Clint's lunchbox. Any they're all different there's a whole pack there's probably I don't know 25 in there. Those are all great ideas. Oh thanks. So I hope I get this right. Your questions are always so hard. Okay, well this one is not. Oh great. So if I don't get it right, I'm an idiot. I think you're gonna get this one. Okay, okay. Okay, so here's my question for you. And you keep watching time lapse cleaning videos. I keep watching the repair shop. Oh man. So from my list of searches this week, which of them was prompted once again by watching the repair shop? And for you. DTH besties that are playing at home, here's my list again. Number one, Hot Mess Express Organization. Number two, Witness Marks. Number three, Svaldbard Global Seed Vault. I'm gonna say Witness Marks. That's right! You nailed it! So I was watching the repair shop. Yes. And shame on anyone who hasn't watched the repair shop. It will change your life. Horologist Steve Fletcher was repairing a clock. Yeah. A clock. I said that kind of silently, so I repeated myself. A clock. And he mentioned witness marks that helped him understand what was wrong with a certain part of this clock. I was like, um, I mean, I pretty much understood what he meant, but I've never heard that term before. Yeah, that it actually has a name. Yes. So I looked it up and I discovered that witness marks don't only refer to clock parts. Oh. There is a wide variety of witness marks out there. Here is a basic definition of a witness mark. A scratch or similar mark on each portion of an assembly used to determine the previous position or location of its parts. So some examples for you are. They can indicate how something was implemented, user repaired, for example, witness marks on an antique clock, like Steve was saying, can help guide a horologist on what path to follow. Yeah. There could also be small dents or holes or discolorations that were left behind by pieces that might have once been there, but are now missing. Yeah. So like voids. Yes, exactly. In land surveying. A witness mark is used to aid in the recovery and identification of your property corner. That is a very simplified explanation of witness marks in surveying land. Well you did a great job. Oh thank you. Witness marks can also be used to provide a visual indication that something has come loose. For example, witness marks can be used on screws when putting together a firearm. Okay. Witness marks also help align moving parts with precision on musical instruments. I had a flute once and there were witness marks. I didn't know on how where it should be lined up when you put the parts together. And I remember, this is like in the seventh grade or something. I remember that. They can be used to make lines more visible, especially on metal pieces. Faint dots can be lightly punched around the edges of a piece of steel that needs to be cut out. They are also used in welding, inspection, and quality control crime scene investigations, forgery examination, and artwork. So essentially I've seen witness marks my entire life and didn't know that they were called witness marks. I just always learn so much from the repair shop. I know. I just love it. I went to work there. So please hire me repair shop. When you run out of repair shop videos to watch, go to YouTube, because you will find furniture restoration videos, time lapsed, which is really cool because you get to see something go from trash to treasure in a very short amount of time. You get to see the whole process. I watched the one that you sent to me. It was incredible. Isn't that guy amazing? He is amazing. And then, and they'll have, you know, you'll be able to find a ton of other things. Like I've basically just been watching that guy and there's one other guy and they just do big pieces of like wood furniture. They do woodworking, but you would, you'll be able to find clock making or clock repairs. You'll be able to find all that stuff that you love upholstering. Clock repair is fascinating to me. It really is. And imagine if you time lapse clock repair. How meta is that? So meta. Oh my gosh. My, so these are yours. Yay. You just give those to whoever needs to brighten their day. Never give up. That's why I did such a good job on that quiz. My sources for that were Google Gemini, the repair shop, and Merriam-Webster. Nice. Webster's dictionary defines witness marks as. Oh my. Actually, that's so nerdy, I love it. Okay, Cara. Yes. Today you. are playing for. Oh, what's that? These blue diamond blueberry almonds. What? They are rich in antioxidants. I need those. Like vitamin E. They're oven roasted almonds that have like a blueberry flavored coating on them. Oh my gosh, so like they freeze dried blueberries or something? I don't know. I think they just put like a blueberry flavoring. on the outside of an almond, like they rolled it in blueberry dust. Oh, blueberry dust. Yeah. Natural blueberry flavor. I'm all over this. Yeah, and you'll get your antioxidants from almonds. Hit me with this question so I can put these in my mouth. Okay. I've never seen anything like this before. You just don't hang out in gas stations. What? Like I do. Okay, okay. Which search started with me despairing that I'm old and out of touch, but ended with me okay with that when I learned more about this concept? Now, for those playing at home, your choices are MacGuffin, upcycled paint, or let them cook meaning. I'm gonna have to say let them cook meeting. Yeah. All right. Excellent. That's correct. It's always some kind of saying that the youngins are saying. Let them cook. Tell me what that means. Well, you don't know. No, I don't. Of course I don't. Well, Peyton and I were watching YouTube and I was questioning the purpose of what someone was doing. I was like, what is, why? And he said, mom. just let him cook. And I was like, what does that mean? And then he didn't wanna tell me. So that made me super nervous, cause I was like, oh gosh, what did he just say to me? So here we go. It means to let someone do what they're good at without interference. Oh. Or let someone continue what they're doing, even if it seems unusual or has an uncertain outcome. OK. So even if you're not sure what the point is, let them cook. So he nailed it? Yeah. OK. Of course he did. He knows all the lingo. He's a youngin. That's right. Here's another one. Okay. Leave them alone. That kind of thing. Just leave them alone. And alternate meaning is to let someone think, consider, or to be in their own thoughts. Kind of like let them stew on that for a while. You know, let them cook. And another meaning is hear him out or hear them out. Here's another meaning still. give someone time to grow into themselves in appearance, like glowing up. As in, he's goofy looking. And then someone would say to you, let him cook. This person is gonna be something someday. Okay. Their features just don't look good on a young person. But someday they're gonna be super handsome. You know how that goes sometimes. I understand, yes. We all have that awkward phase. Oh yes. Mine was. Mine was horrible. Some of us never grow out of it. You're beautiful. If you're thinking you're an awkward little duckling. I really, I really was. Girl, I was too. Yeah. I can't even. I'll have to bring the big folder of pictures that my mom gave me. Yes. With all my school pictures throughout the years. Oh. I'll have to. Yes. but she left to me. She didn't give it to me. She was already passed away. Right. There was a folder like an accordion file with my name on it. Each of the kids had an accordion file with their name on it and it had all their school pictures throughout the years. What a sweet thing to do. She was so organized. Oh my goodness. And it's a good thing because she had a lot of shit. Well, she had a lot of kids too. Yeah. The origins of this phrase. Oh yes, I'm sorry. Are attributed to rapper Lil B. which is hilarious because we call him Lil P. That's true. He's used it on social media since at least 2010. So it's not that new. Dang. Not that new. Lil B refers to himself. Anytime someone refers to themself as something, it's gonna be good. He refers to himself as a master chef and other talented people as cooks. So what does he, is he. . . He's a rapper, so he's like the master chef of rappers. Here are my sources. Yes. Urban Dictionary, Reddit, WikiHow, Know Your Meme, YouTube, Dictionary. com, and Collins Dictionary. Mr. Collins. Cara. Yes, Brignac. You know what else is awkward? This transition. The transition to this next segment. Yes, that we call Shared History. Yes, it is when we tell you our DTH besties what we searched this week, why we searched it, and what we learned, if anything at all. If anything, but we always do. We always do. So much. I learned so much this week. It is insane. Did you? Yes, I did. So the first thing I'm going to tell you is about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. I am riveted. So the Finnish woman that you're watching her videos, this is in Norway. How weird is that? It's a totally different country, but yes. Well, I mean, regionally. They're regionally in the same place. I know they're not the same. I know we talked about our geographical challenges next week. Don't come at her. Yes, I know they're different. All the Finnish people live in Norway. But it's Nordic. It's Nordic. Thank you, Brea, for understanding. I understand how your brain works because we are one brain. One brain, absolutely. Have you ever heard of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault? Hell no. Okay, this place was established and is fully funded by the Norwegian government. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food receives guidance from a dedicated international council established to advise on the seed vault. It offers services to all types of gene banks seeking security storage for unique seed samples. The vault provides safe, free, and long-term storage for seed duplicates from all gene banks and nations participating in the global community's joint effort to ensure the world's future food supply. Oh my gosh. When I was reading all this, I was getting chills. Because this is such a fantastic idea. It is a great idea. How did I not know this existed? I'm so glad that people smarter than me exist. Right? A lot of smarter people than me. Because who would have even thought of this? The Norwegians. These people. Yes. I kind of want to go live here. Oh my gosh. But I'm also a little bit like stressed out and overwhelmed by the scope of this project. Yes. We'll keep listening. Okay. The facility serves a humanitarian purpose and is part of the international system for conserving plant genetic diversity guided by the UN Organization for Food and Agriculture. While there may be a role for the seed vault in the event of a global catastrophe, its value is considered to lie much more in providing backup to individual collections in the event that the original samples and their duplicates. . . are lost due to natural disasters, human conflict, changing policies, mismanagement, or other unforeseen circumstances. So if a giant meteor hits the globe, we're probably all dead. So the seeds don't matter. But we could have a world war. Or we could have. . . You know global warming is becoming a problem and it's changing how crops work and all that so having these duplicate seeds Could benefit us correct Crop diversity is the foundation of the world's food production it allows crops to adapt to the climate and population changes that are coming The United Nation predicts the global population will increase from the 2020 population of 7. 8 billion to 9. 7 billion by 2050. So that's another 20, or excuse me, two billion people that they're anticipating by 2050. That's a lot of people. Yeah, it is. And they're all hungry. Yeah, they all gotta eat. They all have to eat. It's how it works, people. Changing weather patterns cause changes in growing seasons and the environment impacting the ability of today's agriculture crops to thrive or even survive. Seeds contain the raw materials that scientists and plant breeders might need to improve the yield, resilience, or disease resistance of agricultural varieties that the farmers plant. So this seed vault functions as a safety depository for orthodox seeds, primarily of domesticated plants and their wild relatives that are important to food and agriculture. Fast fact. Orthodox seeds are seeds that will survive drying or freezing as opposed to recalcitrant seeds. So recalcitrant seeds, they will not survive drying and freezing. Okay. So they are not used or they're not sent to the seed vault only the orthodox seeds are. Oh, I see. Interesting, huh? So Svalbard is the Norwegian archipelago halfway between the North Pole and mainland Norway. So the location's really good because it's cold, it's safe, and it's a long distance from seed vaults that house original collections. Oh. The seeds are placed in the chambers inside the frozen mountain, and artificial cooling keeps the temperatures at a constant minus 18 Celsius, which is right around zero Fahrenheit. Okay. Should the refrigeration fail within the vault the permafrost in the mountains surrounding the seed vault keep them cold for a really long time allowing the Repair people to fix the refrigeration if needed. Okay, so they are planning ahead for a wetter and warmer climate Norway has taken precautionary measures and they've carried out major upgrades to the facility between 2016 and 2019 The entrance to the tunnel was made waterproof and a more efficient and environmentally friendly cooling system was installed. All right. All gene banks holding sustainable seed collections are invited to deposit duplicates of their seeds in this seed vault at no cost. The deposits are made in accordance with the depositor agreement between the depositing institution and the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food. They are deposited again free of charge under black box conditions. So that means that any of the seed boxes and containers stored in the seed vault will not be opened and are indisputably owned by the depositing gene bank. Oh, okay. Only that gene bank can request a return of the seeds from the seed vault. So this is just like a storage unit basically. 100%. Yeah. Exactly. So the Nordic Genetic Resources Center or Nordigen manages the global seed vault and coordinates with gene banks on what seeds they want to store there. So that includes approving the material to be deposited, establishing the timeline and process for the deposit, providing guidance on the appropriate packaging, labeling and documentation of the material to be deposited and facilitating shipment of seeds and the subsequent signing into the seed vault. I mean, the coordination and organization of this is very appealing to me. Like I think I wanna go work at the seed vault. I was just about to say, can we go work there? Yes. So seeds are usually shipped to Svalbard by air freight, although sea transport can be used for large shipments. Gene Banks shipped the seeds to coincide with pre-planned opening dates. So they're only open like three times a year. So you can't just keep opening, closing, opening, closing. So it's like three times a year, this is when, so you wanna send me seeds, our next opening date is blah, blah. Okay? That sounds like. Those are very busy days. Yes. Once shipments arrive in Norway, the seeds are transported to the town of Longyearbyen. Oh, sure. Longyearbyen, where the seed vault is located. So for security, all seed boxes are scanned to ensure no other items are inside except for seed pouches. The dried seeds destined for storage in the seed vault are packed in specifically designed airtight aluminum within 60 by 40 by 28 centimeter boxes, which fit exactly on the shelves of the vault. Oh. Did you just get chills? It's so tidy. I know. It's so neat in there. The boxes are made of plastic, wallboard or wood and are numbered, labeled, and have names of the depositors on the boxes as well as the shelf position. So it's like shelf 921, spot seven. Oh my gosh. I know. All this information is then uploaded into the SEED portal. Database. Y'all, I narrowed down all this information. There's so much information about this place. How many people do they employ? I don't know. Okay. I'm surprised that they give this much information. I feel like this should be more of a secret facility. Right. That only the most important people should know. Terrorists. Right. They would just be like, let's go after the seed. We're gonna kill the seeds. Anyway, I encourage you to go look at a picture of the opening. of this vault. It is awesome. Yes. It looks super scary. Like something that you would see like on like a like a I don't know espionage movie. Really? But then they've got artwork at the very top of it. Oh, it is so cool. So it's scary like a bunker. Yes, it's exactly like a bunker because it's in the mountain. Yeah. So there's only you can only see the door and like a little bit of the walkway and then it just all goes underground. Yeah. Oh, I know. We gotta go. Oh, I bet they don't give tours. They do not. You're not allowed inside. Yeah, they don't. I already checked. But you can't walk by it. But they employ people. They do. We would have to know Norwegian, I bet. Maybe. But they might know English, so we might be safe. I'll get us applications, we'll look into it. My sources for that were croptrust. org, seedvault. no, oh, I can't say this one, regionerion. no, time. com, and identiv. com. That was a fun search. I learned a lot. Excellent. Thank you, little seeds, for feeding us. Okay. My first search is MacGuffin. Do you know about this literary device? I do know. Yes, because you were a film studies major. That's exactly right. Okay. I had forgotten. Oh, yes. Until I started reading and I was like, oh, there. Yeah. Yes, I learned about this in film studies. Well, let's tell our DTH besties what it is. Okay. A MacGuffin is an object or device in a movie or book that serves to move the plot along. Example, the ring in Lord of the Rings. Yeah. For sure. The Yellow Brick Road. Yes. And the Wizard of Oz. The Sorcerer's Stone in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone or Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as it is originally called. The Briefcase in Pulp Fiction. Yes. Yeah. Now, can you think of any others? I was just sitting here trying to think of others. It's hard to think of them off the. . . It is. So my brain automatically went to The Matrix because they're my favorite movies. Of course. So what would the MacGuffin be in that one? The red and blue pills? That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. Or maybe The Matrix itself. Maybe it's Morpheus. Because for whatever reason, Neo is searching for Morpheus. Yes. And that's what he does in his free time, is just look for Morpheus. Yes. So maybe he's the MacGuffin. Maybe. So here is the concept, how it came about. Yes. Now, it's as old as storytelling, but the origin of the actual term MacGuffin. It was coined by a British screenwriter named Angus MacPhail, but it was popularized by Alfred Hitchcock. Yes. He used the device often in his films, most famously in 1935's The 39 Steps. He explained it this way in a Columbia University lecture in 1939. Here we go. I'm not going to try to do a Hitchcock impersonation. I'm sorry. It might be a Scottish name taken from a story about two men on a train. One man says, what's that package up there in the baggage rack? And the other answers, oh, that's a MacGuffin. The first one asks, what's a MacGuffin? Well, the other man says, it's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands. The first man says, but there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands. And the other one answers, well, then, that's no MacGuffin. So you see that a MacGuffin is actually nothing at all. That's how he explained what it is. Okay. But it's been posted, sorry, nope. It's been posited that the word comes from guff, meaning anything trivial and worthless. However, despite what Hitchcock believed that a MacGuffin is an object or device that the characters care about, but the audience doesn't. the importance of the object can vary depending on its role in the story. So the Ark of the Covenant and Raiders of the Lost Ark, for example, would be a MacGuffin, and it's just as important to the viewers as it is to the people in the story. So it's still a MacGuffin. It moves the plot along. It doesn't have to be a physical object either. It can be a concept or idea, like the Force in Star Wars. That's it. I love it. I love the McGuffin and I don't do this anymore, but back when I was shortly out of college, everything I watched, I was watching for the McGuffin. I just was really, I was just a film nerd, like very heavily into film. I was too and yeah, in college. And I really thought like, if I could swing it. And if I hadn't had the responsibilities that I had, and I really just needed to get in, get out, and get a job, that was college for me. But if I had been able to kind of widen my horizons, I really did want to kind of be like a film critic or something like that. Because I just loved breaking films down and really like getting into like, why is this shot a- close up as opposed to a long shot or vice versa. Yes. Things like that. And see, I wanted to edit film so badly. I just, I cannot even imagine how fun it would be to edit a feature length film. Oh my gosh, I'm overwhelmed. That's so overwhelming. Oh, I would love it. My sources were Cambridge Dictionary, Britannica, Oxford Languages, and Wikipedia. Nice. I'm so glad you did that one. That's brought back a lot of fun memories. And I may just start looking for MacGuffins again. Oh, man. Searching for MacGuffin. Oh, yes. That sounds like a great move. That's a book you could write. And you could be a movie critic. You could still be a movie critic. I could. Yeah. Anybody can be anything. Yeah, they can. That's what my parents told me. It was a lie. I think mine tell me just get a good job. My parents, they really tried to instill some fantastical ideas into my mind. You can be anything. You're gonna be something. Wow, thanks. Thank you. They set me up for a lifetime of disappointment. with their stupid encouragement. Jerks. They're the worst. All right. We're ready for your second topic. Okay. My second search is Hot Mess Express Organization. It's kind of weird how our searches have lined up this week. Yeah. Just a little bit. Yeah. So this is. . . a cleaning organization. I saw it, I was reading a local article in the newspaper about a national nonprofit organization called Hot Mess Express and a local woman here in Springfield started a Springfield chapter of Hot Mess Express. And here is an explanation from the national website. We serve the women in our community with no judgment through cleaning, organization, and offering a fresh start. Our board consists of women who are actively involved with the Hot Mess Express rescue missions, whether it be juggling a career or family or both, we understand the need for a village. And their motto is not a handout, just a hand. Isn't that nice? Nice. So these chapters take nominations from women. who need a little extra help just getting caught up on chores, getting organized, just like, they're just so overwhelmed. All the chores have just been pushed to the wayside. So after a woman is nominated, the group picks a chaos coordinator. So they lead up the rescue mission. So all of the visits are called rescue missions and the chaos coordinator. They contact the nominee and they ask them, Hey, you've been nominated. Are you interested in this? And then they schedule a date, they organize the volunteers and the supplies. So then on the day of the rescue missions, the volunteers typically spend anywhere from three to four hours doing dishes, laundry, basic deep cleaning organizations, sweeping, mopping and vacuuming. Oh, okay. This is a non-crisis organization, so they do not assist with hoarding situations. This is just like, you just, your chores are falling behind. Right. Um, so our local chapter was started by Daphne Boggs in April of this year. And they have scheduled for rescue missions so far in the area. And the latest woman they helped has a six year old, a four year old, a two year old and a two month old, and her husband is overseas in the military. So she is just trying to do it all by herself. Um, so they had five volunteers. They helped declutter, clean. and they got her set up with some organizational situations to try and help her keep things tidy for a longer, um, stretch of time. Um, Daphne found out about the, um, national organization through Tik Tok. And then she just was super interested. She's like, this is awesome. She doesn't have kids and she has some extra free time. She's in college. but she's getting ready to finish that up and she likes helping people. And so she just thought it would be cool to have a Springfield chapter. Excellent. So she started a Facebook group. And so after posting about the new chapter on the Welcome to Springfield Facebook group, she got a whole lot of traction really fast and she's got hundreds of people that have started following her Facebook page, but then she's just got like maybe 10 or 15 who are constantly involved. with the volunteering. So if anyone would like to volunteer, you go look for Hot Mess Express Missouri Springfield Facebook group and then you complete a volunteer form and that's it. Wow. Now, if you can't devote time to help directly or maybe cleaning and organizing just isn't your thing, but you like this idea, they have an Amazon wishlist and you can just send products to them that they need to clean houses. Yeah, cause it's expensive. It does get expensive. Yeah. And so their Amazon wish list is Hot Mess Express-Springfield Moe. And I bet they're, like you said, it's a national organization. So there are chapters everywhere. There are chapters everywhere. I looked. So look it up in your area if you're not, obviously, from Springfield. But yeah, see if there's a place or a chapter near you, because that's a great cause. Yes. And you can also donate to the national organization just directly. money or they have merch. Oh boy. If you're interested in merch. It's mostly t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies. Some have their motto on it. Some identify people as chaos coordinators. So they're shirts you can wear during the rescue missions. Yeah. Some say volunteer. One says be gentle with yourself. Oh. And then one of them has a picture of five diverse women and they all have arms linked. It's super cute. Oh. I think I'm going to get that one. That sounds like a great shirt. You had me at Merch. I know, I know, me too. My sources were hotmessexpress. co and the Springfield News Leader. Wow. Yeah, I thought that was really neat. That's really cool because I would love to do that. I don't think I could be a chaos coordinator. That would be kind of overwhelming. But I wouldn't mind being like, you know, just the muscle. Yeah. So nice. There's just so much. I'm glad that it's focused on women because there's just so much pressure on women to have perfectly tidy homes. For example, we are recording in my home this morning and I looked around with not Brea eyes and thinking, if I wasn't here every day, what would I look at and be like, what the heck? And there were so many things. So I was just like tidying and then cleaning and then I was like, oh this floor is dirty and then I was like, oh this refrigerator is gross and then Before you know it an hour and a half has gone by and you're a sweaty hot mess like hot mess Yes express, but I just But why am I the one Who looks around and does that nobody else in my family seems at all bothered? I know that there are you know rings on the coffee table where people have set drinks or that there's dust someplace or That there's boxes that have not been broken down from the numerous Amazon deliveries that we've had Nobody else. I mean everybody just else just walks past it and it doesn't seem to bother them. Why I don't know it's just one of those things where It doesn't matter if you have a job outside of the home and how much you're doing, how much you're contributing to the household in other ways, the cleaning always falls to the woman. Yep. And it's like, now I can get people to help me clean, but I have to be the one that. . . You have to instigate. Yes, I have to be the one that says, we are gonna clean today or you need to clean today or can someone please help me clean? Like, why? So I'm really glad that they help women who are overwhelmed because we're the ones who generally have to take that on. Yeah, it's just our responsibility. I think that's changing a bit. I think that, especially since the pandemic, I think a lot of men are either working from home or they're stay at home dads, maybe not in this area. So we don't see it very much in this area. But I think that in. . . more progressive homes, maybe that's becoming not quite the case. I think that my son, I'm hoping, my oldest son who has his own household now, I think that he's pretty good about, hey, it's my day off or it's Saturday or it's whatever day. So that's just part of one of my weekend days is that we do this. We tidy up. They're pretty tidy people. I don't know who he got that from. But. . . He got that from somebody. Not me, not his dad. So, I don't know, maybe he was hatched. Or maybe Michaela has been a good influence on him. There you go. Because she's pretty tidy. But, you know, she's also a stay at home mom. That helps probably too, because when it comes time to do the chores for the week, it's not a humongous deal because she's been maintaining all week long. Yes. But if I was, I mean, I'm at home. six out of seven days a week. I'm not maintaining. It's cause housework sucks. It does suck. But I love a clean home. Right. Like after it's clean and everything's put away and the clutter's all gone and it's like, you've got clean surfaces, it's, ugh. It's so mentally- Yes. Destressing. It is. It's like, oh. And I know that if I would, you know, do the deep clean and get it all set up and then do maintenance, it wouldn't be so bad. But once you do the deep cleaning, you are burnt out from cleaning for long enough that you don't want to do the maintenance. It's not even that for me. It's just I get home from work and I am, I'm wiped. I'm just wiped. And the last thing I want to do is maintenance. And I definitely don't want to do house cleaning on the weekend because that's my weekend. Right. Well, you don't have weekends right now anyway. Well, no, it's true. I don't. But yeah, I'm, I just. I don't know, I've got to find a way to make it more fun. And sometimes I do, like today I listened to a podcast while I cleaned and that helped it go by really fast. And then some of these cleaning channels where they do these extreme cleans, you know, most of them say that what you have to do is you can't say I'm cleaning the house today. You have to say, I'm cleaning off this table. And then you have to say, I'm vacuuming the living room. Or I'm dusting the TV. So just bites out of the elephant. You have to take it one bite at a time and take breaks. You're like, you can't just go, go. Like, I'm just gonna push her and get it all done. This one guy says, every 50 minutes, take a 10 minute break. Because that way you're recharging. but it's not long enough to like really get settled in. Right. And the whole time you're taking a break and sitting or going outside and getting fresh air or whatever, you can be thinking about what I'm gonna do next. And then that way you're still in the mind frame, but physically you're kind of like taking a break. That's kind of like the Pomodoro effect. Yeah. Yeah, like 20 minutes at a time or, yeah, and he chose 50 minutes, 50 and 10. But you could do 20 and. . . 10 or 20 and 5 or 30 and 10. Sean and I used to do that. See, things have fallen apart since the pandemic. I used to clean on, Sean and I had a regular schedule. We cleaned every Tuesday night and we have a, we had an Excel spreadsheet where all the things that needed to be cleaned. And so we just got that out, we put it on the counter and we checked them off and Tuesday night, that's when we did all of our cleaning. Holy crap. And it was awesome. Our house was always clean. Yeah. The pandemic happened and it's like, I know we've talked about this before, but all these things just kind of came to light that they don't matter. Yeah. And nothing mattered anymore. And apparently cleaning was one of those that fell to the wayside because nobody was coming over and we weren't leaving. So we were just there all the time. So you would think though that the house would have stayed even more clean because we were always there, but we didn't know what was going on. We were totally stressed about, you know, the world is going to end or whatever. Nobody knew anything. Yeah. And so you were just holding on tight for the next disaster and the next round of people, hundreds of thousands of people that died and just things that suddenly seemed so dumb. Yeah. You're like, stop doing. Who gives a crap if the, if the coffee table is dusty. Yeah. Like who cares? So we just stopped. We massively all the routines just yeah. They just went to the wayside. Yeah. I mean, I think we forget even it hasn't even been that long, but I think we forget how stressful the uncertainty was at the pandemic. Exactly. It wasn't just, okay, we're locked down and everybody has to stay home. It wasn't just that. It was your lockdown and you had to stay home. and everything that comes into your house, including your groceries, could kill you. Right, and if you have diabetes, if you're overweight, if you have all these pre-existing conditions, if you catch this, you're probably gonna die. Right, yeah, and then you had people who were like, but I'm not gonna wear a mask, because fuck you. Yeah, this isn't even real. So then you have the stress of learning that some of your friends and family, You couldn't talk to them anymore. Right. Because you- They didn't care enough about you to put a piece of cloth over their face. They suddenly were like 180. Yeah. You learned that your beliefs were 180 from theirs. And you're like, wow. OK. Or at least that you had different values. Yes. As far as what's important and what's not important. Right. Exactly. And basically, some of us weren't important to other people. Yes. Or we suddenly became stupid. Right. Like they realized how stupid we were because we thought the COVID virus was real. Yeah. And then when the vaccines came out, that was a whole new layer of stress and, ooh. But we had already called down our social networks. Not a friend, not a friend. So by the time vaccines came out, you were pretty much surrounded by the people who. Didn't want to get vaccines and agreed with you. Like, I'm not getting a vaccine and everybody around you didn't want to get vaccines either. Or you were the people who definitely wanted a vaccine and everyone in your social network was on the same page. Right, they were like, I'm in line. Right. I know. It was so, you're right. Like it's been far, it's been long enough now that you're, I'm starting to forget some of that stress. Yeah, it's just all that time that we all stayed home. But it was so much more than that. It was so much more. And then when we were allowed to leave our homes, how stressful that was. Yes, like should I leave my home? Well, not just that, but we were not conditioned anymore to be out around people. Right. To just be out in the world. And everybody was so, it was such a time of protect myself, protect my health, me, me. And now. . . I really, that is such a huge part of why I think society has changed since that is that we're very self-centered and we don't care about other people as much as we used to. But it should have been the opposite because wearing a mask was about protecting other people. It wasn't about protecting yourself. I know. So you would think that it, but nobody could ever, we could never get it through our heads that was the case. We couldn't agree. Even those of us who were like all about wearing masks and whatever, we could say it until we're blue in the face, but still every time you put a mask on, at least I wasn't thinking I'm protecting other people by putting this mask on. I was still thinking I'm putting this mask on because I don't want to die. Well because so many people, at least around here, were refusing to wear masks. Yeah. It was. It was kind of a defense mechanism instead of a societal protection. Absolutely. We're getting too political, Cara. Sorry. I mean, certain people think that we're too political on this podcast. So I guess if you say anything that anybody disagrees with, it's a political thing instead of just a, hey, I'm just saying something that maybe you don't believe or agree with. Stop, stop it. I'll stop now. Just stop it. I'll stop. Anyway, that is Hot Mess Express people. I love it. I do too. I thought that was the neatest dang thing. All right, my next search is upcycled paint. Yes. What is this about? Have you heard of this? No! I was watching a really cool YouTube channel and it's called Schoolhouse Homestead. And this couple in Indiana, they had lived out on the East Coast when they went to school and started their careers. But then they went back to Indiana and bought a school. Not a small school either. Like maybe. . . I'm trying to think how many square feet it was. A very square school building, but not like a one room schoolhouse or anything like that. Like a school that could, that probably when it was open as a school had about 200 kids. And so there's lots of classrooms and, but it was very old timey. And they bought this place and they're turning it into their house. So a big house, a very big house. And they had a time lapse video. I know. See, rabbit hole. It's funny. Of all the progress they had made so far. So they're not finished with it yet, but they are getting really close. And so they went back and took all their footage and. kind of put it all together really fast. And it was still like 45 minutes long. Oh, wow. Yeah. So you could see from the very beginning when they first walked through those doors and they're tearing walls down and they're repointing, I think that's what it's called, the brick work. So where you scrape out all of the cement between the bricks, not all of it, but as much as you can. And then you re- You like re-cock it, kind of, is what it looks like. It's not cock though, it's cement. Whoa. So they did that and they had to redo the electrics and all kinds of crazy stuff. So they got to the point in the video where they were painting walls. And she held up a can of the paint to the camera and it said up, upcycled paint. And I was like, what is this? Because they're trying to do this as sustainably as possible. The whole point of not just tearing the building down and building a new house on top of it is to keep the building, to keep the history. And I think they're gonna put a school museum in part of the. . . building, maybe. Just so much work. You just look at it and you're like, nope, I'm out. Too overwhelming. But upcycled paint is supposedly an eco-friendly product made from leftover or used paint. So you know how you buy a can of paint? You know this. You've bought some paint lately. And you use maybe 80% of it. and then you keep it in your garage like maybe we'll have to do touch ups. But do you ever really have to do touch ups? Well, I did what Roy's house. Did you? Oh yeah, you did. Cause you had to redo it. But most of the time that paint goes into the garage or wherever and it just sits there. You're right. Well, you could send your paint, your unused portion of paint to a place like up. There are multiple places and they will take it. and they will combine it with other paints and they will process it. And create full cans of paint to resell. So that these paint cans are not going into landfills or down drains or wherever people incorrectly dispose of paint. How does the color work? Here you go, are you ready? Yes. So they take this paint from construction sites, households, businesses, and they remove impurities and contaminants. So they blend and filter it. And then the process paint is combined with other leftover paints or pigments to create as desired color or consistency. So they can take light colored paints and combine them. And they can also add pigments to certain paints to make them different colors, like a deeper brown or a deeper red or whatever. and match the paints together. And when they mix it all together, then it will be that color. And then you can choose online or wherever from their color palettes. That's cool. Yeah. The large scale production of recycling or upcycling paint is a fairly new practice stemming from consumers awareness of environmental issues and sustainability. More and more people are like, I don't want to just buy a brand new can of paint that had to be produced somewhere with chemicals and all kinds of things that are polluting the earth. Why don't we take what we already have and get it from somebody who didn't need whatever was left over. The benefits are obvious, but here they are. Reduces waste and minimizes the need for new paint production. It's usually cheaper, but sometimes depending on. . . what the quality of the upcycled paint is, or the colors, or how rare it is, or whatever. Sometimes it could be more expensive, but it's usually pretty comparable or a little bit cheaper. Okay. And the result of combining the paints is sometimes unique colors or textures. So sometimes you can get something that you wouldn't be able to get any other place because. they created a unique color based on what they had, you know, based on what came in. Uh-huh, yes. The downsides are that the quality and coverage can be inconsistent, and sometimes the color that you want might be hard to find. You could find upcycled paint at online companies like UP, which is highly rated, Recolor, Paint the Earth, and Green Paints, and then many local hardware stores paint stores now carry upcycled paint options as well. So ask at your local hardware store because they might have some. That's awesome. Mm-hmm. And some local recycling centers have programs for collecting recycled paint and offering it for sale or donation. A lot of cities, they'll do that once a year where they'll ask people, hey, bring us your old paint or your old car oil or whatever. so that people aren't disposing of it incorrectly. Yes. But typically, then they just dispose of it. Yes. So hopefully, municipalities and cities and stuff might catch on to this trend. And when they do collection events like that, they might think about sending things to a company like up. You know what? I work in the department that does collect things like that. Yes. And I just might mention that to them. not just mine. I will mention this to them because we have a household chemical collection center and they take, they don't take latex paint because you can, they have they have suggestions on how you dispose of that yourself. Right. But other stuff like oil-based paints and other chemicals they take. So maybe they could start taking the latex paint and sending it up. Yep. Because I was looking around on And like I said, there are other places. It's not just Up. There's Recolor Paint the Earth Green Paints. But I was looking at the Up website because that's what I saw on that channel. And they will send you the box to send the paint to them. So they're very proactive about getting your paints from you. We are going to have paint left over. You are? Yes. And I will say that every freaking room, every wall that we have painted in Roy's house has been paint that either Sean and I already had or paint that Allison already had. Oh. We have not bought any paint. And let me tell you, we've painted a lot. Well, that's great, though, that you were able to find enough leftover paint. Yes. Thank goodness. In both of your households to do that. Yes. Smart. It was. lucky because you're like I don't care what color this is we're gonna sell this house and all the paint we've had has been neutral yeah so it worked out fantastic yeah it's not like you have to live in this house or you had to be picky someone's probably gonna repaint it anyway it's right we just trying to get it sold you just want it to be clean and a fresh clean plate for somebody and the realtor said if the house smells like paint when people come in to look at it that gives them a sense of security that We've done some fixing up, which lorry have we done some fixing up, right? You need to start your own YouTube channel with some time lapse videos. I'm telling you, we've fixed it up so much. It's like, maybe we should just move in here now. Tempting. No, we will not be doing that. Um, my sources, that is the word and it's written right down here. on this screen for me to see and I still lost it. I still lost the noun. It's okay. Because I lose nouns. My sources were Paintcare, US EPA, Sustainable Living Magazine, and Up. com. Nice. That was such an interesting and helpful search. Thank you. You're welcome. I thought you'd be really into that. As much of a painting aficionado as you are nowadays. Um, actually after we're done here, I'm going straight there to finish the painting. I think you should stay here and watch YouTube videos with me. I can't. We're gonna get this house done. It's the goal. Our mantra is finish the house. Finish the house. I know poor Sean when he had to bring you your cable yesterday, I said, are you gonna hang out here at the library? for a while and you know, cause I thought maybe he would wait for you and then you guys could go out to dinner or something. And he was like, nope, I'm going to my dad's house. Ah, I mean. I know. But yeah, I mean, come on. I know how to power wash now cause I've watched multiple videos. Yes. So. That is on the list, so. If it doesn't get done in a timely fashion. Okay. One of these weekends, you call me and I. I will come over and give it a try. Okay. Cause it looks like a lot of fun. It's super fun. I've done our deck. I've done both of our decks and I did our driveway and it's very satisfying. Yeah. And you didn't need like any training or anything. Heck no. You just did it. I had never done it before. Yeah. And Sean was just like, you point this here and you can change the nozzle to different types of sprays. Yeah. And you go for it. Okay. And I did. And it was nice. It's kind of meditative too, because you're just like, rrraaaam. Well, you might want to do it then. No, I'm OK with just doing other stuff. Really? Yeah, I'm just. Aren't you sick of painting? Well, we've got so many other things to do. It's fine. Don't worry about the variety of work that needs to be done. OK, well, yeah. Call me if you need me. OK, I will. But what about this one? What about it? This is a quick listing of our other searches from the past week. that we didn't have time to discuss or we're just too damn boring. You're boring. Yeah, you are. Here's my list. Okay. John and Carrie Halford update. There's no update. Oh, I figured since it was, you're what about this one? But they are in trouble. You in trouble? They have another court date, I think later, maybe September or October. So standby, I will keep you updated. They are in trouble. Skatewing. St. Michael's menu, Dairy Girls, Milano Roll, which is not my belly, Word for refund for remaining amount. I could not think of the word pro-rated. Oh yes. I probably thought about it for 10 minutes and finally gave up and I was like, hey Google, Dollar Tree, Better Business Bureau, Blueberry Almond and Lemon Cake Recipe. And I got, you just won some blueberry almonds. I know. That's so creepy. Isn't it weird? Yes. One mind. Ginny Lind Apartments. What does brat mean according to Charlie XCX? I've been hearing brat summer and Kamala is brat and this is so brat, I had to look it up. What is it? So this is a quote, I knew you were gonna ask me, so I wrote down a quote. Okay, cool. Charlie. XCX, she is a singer and an influencer apparently. I don't know. An influenza, as Heather and Mike call them. So her quote is, a brat is a person who feels like herself, but maybe also has a breakdown, but kind of likes to party through it. Is very honest, very blunt, a little bit volatile, like does dumb things. It's a brat, you're a brat, that's a brat. That's the quote. I don't get it still. I'm a little. So somebody who's just authentic? It feels like yourself that maybe has a breakdown, but kind of likes to party through it, is very honest, very blunt, a little volatile, does dumb things. So everybody. I mean, you're a brat. I'm a brat. Right. You're a brat. Don't we all fit that description at some point? It sells records. I mean, the party through it part, maybe not. Speak for yourself. Oh, yeah, I know. You're a big partier, not me. Huge. OK, sorry. OK, Dolly Parton, Missouri visit. She's coming to Missouri. Mini photo printer, wire cutter podcast. Green Bay schedule, COVID surge, lows, CD rates, Senegal. Okay. I have a mini photo printer. You do? Yeah. Do you like it? I've printed maybe one picture from it. I was thinking I could, cause I take a lot of pictures. Yeah. And I was thinking I could print pictures to put on cards. Yeah, that'd be perfect. That's why I bought it. And you just haven't used it. And then I printed a picture of my mom and her brother when they were little. And I really did buy it for paper crafts. Yeah. But I was like, oh, I'm going to try this. I'm going to print this picture of my mom and Uncle Jim. And that's it. OK, that's all I've done. Well, if you ever want to sell it, let me know. It's, you know, still in the box, I think. Oh, my goodness, because that's, you know, how I store it. Here's my list. Yes. Bauhaus table. Google Pixel Sluggish. Dark and Stormy Cocktail. Marlo Thomas. Shallow Storage Cabinet with Drawers. Stanley Water Bottle. Graphic Tees Online. Flinch Card Game. Aggravation Game Rules. Gansito Snack Cake. Longaberger Baskets. That was a very diverse list. It was kind of hard to pick what I was going to talk about this week because I had quite a few that were kind of interesting. That Bauhaus table. Pretty cool. But I've been watching a lot of furniture restoration videos. So, you know, it makes me think that maybe I could restore some things. Of course you could. But. . . Then I watch more and I'm like, I could never do that. Oh, you could too. What are they doing? You could too. I really don't like sanding. So that's probably a deal breaker. I don't like sanding either. I don't like the sound of it. And I don't like how sandpaper feels on my hands. I don't like rubbing wood, like unfinished wood, with my hand. And every time I watch a restoration video where they're sanding and then they rub it, they rub what they've sanded with their hand, I'm like, like it makes my teeth itchy, but I still watch it. It makes my hands tingly. Yeah. And I'm like, Oh, you're going to get a splinter. I, when I'm watching the repair shop and Will is replacing something or he's having to sand wood or whatever, I have to mute it. Cause I do not like the sound of ch ch. Yeah. I really like when the restoration channels, they go fast over the sanding. Like they speed it up and they mute it. Yes. I'm like, oh, thank you. They know, there are people like us out there. Do you have any shout outs? The only thing I have is that sweet Colleen reached out to us. Yes. And she was saying hello from Australia. Yeah, she has a really rough life. I just want to say. Hey, it might be really hot down there, and she's got the stress of a wedding. It's winter there right now. Hey, it might be really cold down there, and she's got the stress of a wedding. That's right, she is preparing for her son's wedding. Aw. Her baby. And I wish I could go. It would be fun. Oh, I wanna go so bad. My brother Sean was there. Aw. He's not gonna be there for the wedding, but he was there. last week and the week before, I think. And she sent pictures of the two of them and all the things that they did. And then also her son and his fiance and all the things that they did together. And I was like, mer. Yeah, I would love to go. I'd love to meet Colleen and I also would like to meet her where she lives. Yeah. Which is not Australia. No, she used to. For many, many years she lived in Australia. But now she lives in the UK. So both of the places that she's lived outside of the United States, really awful places to live, let me just say. I don't. . . Australia has some weird creatures, like spider situations. And snakes. That I don't think I could handle. I'm okay with just visiting Australia. I don't believe I'd want to live there. So I don't know. If I lived in the UK, I could go work on the repair shop. Sure. I mean, I would just sweep their floors or run the cameras. I mean, I can do that stuff. Yeah, and when they're sanding, you just wear noise canceling headphones. I'd just be like, they just had to be like, Cara, we're gonna sand now. And I'd be like, okay, I'm gonna take a break. That was the weasiest laugh ever. Okay, so, no mine. Oh, I was like, did I sound weasel? It just kept going and going and I was like, when is it gonna stop? In addition to her being down under, she provided some important insight. And she said, we didn't have to mention this on the podcast, but I'm definitely going to like, I'm all about corrections. Do it. So she loved the movie Wicked Little Letters as well. That's the one with Olivia Coleman, where there's the poison pen letters that go around this village and they are filthy and everybody says all these. Um, terrible. words out loud and people are very proper. And I said that it was post-war and I said post-World War II, but she pointed out that she thinks it was post-World War I and she's correct. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, the more I think about it, I haven't looked it up or anything, but the more I think about the living conditions and the way they were dressed and everything, it was definitely before World War II. Oh, good catch Colleen. It was earlier than that. Sometimes my US education gets in the way and. . . Or sometimes I'm just like, everything in the UK always looks old, older than it is sometimes. So then I get kind of trapped into, oh, that was probably later than it seems because everything is just old over there. But I think she was right, that it was post-World War I. Too lazy to look it up. Other people weigh in if you want to. Regardless, I'm glad to hear from Colleen. Yes. Mm-hmm. Um. . . I've been hearing a lot from Martha Dee, too. Oh, have you? Martha Dee has been getting caught up on some, um, episodes. Yes. And so she's been sending me a lot of text messages, like, I didn't know this, or I learned this about you. And what did she say? Oh, I had no idea you loved Matthew Perry so much. I don't think Karen knew she loved Matthew Perry so much. It just hit me. I, it just hit me. Just don't talk about it. I'm not going to. Honestly, it wasn't, I mean, yes, it was the fact that, you know, Matthew Perry should not have died. That's upsetting. And we're learning so much more about it. Yes, we are. Recently that it was the coincidence of the timing. of me looking that up and then that news coming out like the next day I think after I had my crying fit. Yes. I was mostly crying because I was remembering how Keith Morrison was talking about it. And I'm not gonna cry because I'm over it now. Sweet baby angel Keith Morrison. It just, God, why am I still talking about it? Move on, Cara. Well, you know, Martha brought it up. She did. So anyway. But yeah, she's catching up. So I was glad to hear from Martha. Um, thank you, Martha, for checking in. That was very nice of her. If you guys don't want to get in contact with us, what you could do is rate and review us. Oh yeah. That'd be amazing.
