The surest way to avoid getting stuck in the sand

The surest way to avoid getting stuck in the sand is to not drive on the beach. Which we didn’t.  The instruction should have been a bit more specific – the sand, rather than a beach.  Don’t drive on the sand.  This is what we did. Skipping past the first hour, spent in self-reflection on the rationale that got us into this position ( “How can I be such an idiot!”) mixed with a spousal debate…

What is a road opener spell?

Something that really confused me as a beginner witch was 'road opener' spells. I heard people talk about these spells all the time but I had a hard time actually understanding what it meant until I did one myself. Because of that I decided to put together a little guide for all things 'road opener'. I hope this helps!

What does 'road opener' even mean?

Road opener is a type of spell to open the person up to new opportunities and to remove any blocks stopping them from obtaining those opportunities. These spells are great if you're feeling stuck. You don't have to have an opportunity in mind, you might just feel like everything is stagnant and you want things to start moving again.

What goes into a road opener spell?

Generally, these spells have 2 parts/aspects to them; removing barriers and negative energy and bringing in prosperity and new opportunities. You can do these together or seperate them into a 2 part spell, it all depend what you feel like. road opener is like a fancy name for a banishing spell mixed with a prosperity spell.

An example of a road opener spell:

Candle Spell:

A white, green or black candle (green for prosperity and growth, white as a replacement or to symbolise a fresh start or black to remove any negative energy or blocks) Black salt (to remove any negative energies or obstacles from your path) A bay leaf (for prosperity and wealth. write your intention on the leaf) A sigil with your intention cinnamon (represents wealth) cloves (protection and wealth) basil (protection and wealth) an anointing oil (note: optional) something to carve into the candle with (a sharp pencil, scissors, a paper clip, etc) a heat proof dish and candle holder Method: 1. Cleanse yourself, your work space and tools

2. Create your sigil. I like to use the intention 'All obstacles are removed from my path' or ' nothing stands in the way of my success' but it's completely up to you

3. Carve your sigil into your candle.

4. Write your intention on the bay leaf then place the candle on top of the leaf

5. Mix the remaining herbs together (except the black salt) and sprinkle them in a ring around your candle. If you wish to anoint your candle and roll it in herbs instead, this is the time to do so.

6. Place the black salt in a circle around the herbs and candle. This is to represent the banishment of any negative outside energies or to just get rid of anything that doesn't serve you anymore. You don't have to put it in a circle, it just works for me.

7. Watch the candle burn and focus your intention.

Notes: there are 1000s of ways to do this spell with all the ingredients I listed. If this spell doesn't feel right to you, don't do it or change it. It is only an example.

Based on this post from last night and a little bit on Ify's explanation from Adventuring Party today, here's a tangent-y paragraph analyzing Vic Ethanol's treatment of Wendell in episode 5.

Vic's movie is all about la familia and how siblings are the most important thing, and how siblings don't insult or mistreat each other, but I don't think that's true to him. Ify kind of points it out in AP, it seems pretty clear that winning is the most important thing to him. His siblings have value until they overshadow him. He doesn't care that Dang is part of Wendell's familia, Dang winning is unacceptable. It would have been unacceptable if it had been his brother and right hand man, Shaun Nitro winning. No one gets to win except Vic. Vic can share the road but he cannot and will not share the spotlight, and now that Wendell is in the driver's seat everything is falling apart. And, based on the previews for next week's episode, the cracks in la familia are beginning to show more and more. It's not Wendell's fault that Vic's personal philosophy is flawed, Wendell is just revealing the potholes that were already there.

The big plan is to take them to a garden for photos, but I couldn’t resist taking a few at home

These are part of an eventual video along with their gothic outfits from Fall.

This capture was biased darker by a stop to offset the tendency of the camera to over-exposure in this sort of lighting and end up with washed-out diners. And to avoid colours clipping, contrast was left untouched.

first proper comic i've ever made! this is for my fic rainspeak; treat it as a bit of a "deleted scene" that takes places right after chapter 13

i never wrote anything from reigen's pov during the last few chapters bc 1) i wanted to focus on the kids, and 2) i'm not totally confident in my ability to write something compelling from that pov w those circumstances. so here's a comic instead <3

delivery driving is fun. sometimes you'll end up an hour from any interstate in rural places with dirt roads wandering around a farm in the pitch dark looking for the front door of the house and end up delivering their pizzas 12 minutes later than you should've, & the worst thing about the experience is that the customer is SUPER understanding and tips you $25. because you can't find your dumbass way around their driveway.

Incompatible Sexuality?

(Pls Lydia be for the girls)

Ant's pansexual.

Lydia is indeed for the girls, or would be if she ever moves past her trauma enough to actually want to be romantically involved with anybody (unlikely).

Honestly though, they're the unofficial, sexually-incompatible old married couple of Mamma Mia's. Held together by the glue that is constantly worrying about PG and Sam.

DIET Survival kit: Car Edition

Here is what I got together so far, just stuff I had around the house. Prepping this to save me from hitting a drive thru and creating sanity for myself if I need flavor and am outside the house. I normally do take a to go tea or coffee, which I have been enjoying, but I have run out of beverage. And when there is so much temptation out there- save money, save calories.

-Cute bag to fit in my middle console

-Protein- Tuna and beef

- pre workout packs, LMNT electrolytes, cold brew tea, flavored benefiber, Nuun tablets, drink mixes.

Feel free to share any other ideas 💡😊

This is just some stuff I grabbed that was lying around the house. Easily mixable in a bottle of water or shaker bottle.
