Cookies, The Alliance, and Witty

avatar
(Edited)

I am not good in group settings for long periods. I know this about myself. I try hard not to hurt people's feelings when asked to be in a group, and I, now say 'No, Thank you.'

Only some understand the answer 'no.' Over my lifetime entering into groups, I know I have hurt people's feelings. I have watched many groups fall apart. It's sad, and sometimes it hurts your soul.

I can make small talk and make you feel at home. I can be the hostess and make sure everyone has a beautiful time. I am good at these things, and most times, when it is my idea, I have a blast surrounded by all the fun and laughter. Then I will disappear for days on end.

I love making others happy. I love to see others smile and laugh. It is what makes getting up in the mornings worthwhile. Spreading joy and hope is the least I can do for those in my life.

I once read how people are not always meant to be in our lives forever. Some people show up for us for moments in time when we need them most. Once their job is done, it is time to let them go. Not always the easy part but one which needs to happen for you to move on in life.

Then some special people come into our lives, and we are connected with them upon meeting. Not in a sexual way but in a bonding way. It is this feeling of 'I know this person' or 'You wonder where you have met them before, but you know you haven't.'

This was going thru my mind when I met @Enginewitty for the first time. I sent him a DM to ask about what @thealliance stood for.

I needed a place on the Blockchain to call home. I wanted to connect with real people. I did not want to join a Blockchain group, so someone might read my posts. After an interesting back and forth with Enginewitty, I wrote my post to join The Alliance, and the rest is history.

Why were Enginewitty and I destined to meet over five years ago? Girl Scout Cookies are why. Honest. It has to be why. Someone in the universe knew in February of 2023, I would need boxes of Girl Scout cookies to make me laugh and smile.

If I had not ordered the cookies, I would not have received a cool sweatshirt with the PIMP token logo on the front and a lady's bum on the back! There would not have been a reason for Engine to send me that. It only makes sense when the bundle also came with an Alliance bucket hat!

Added to all the gifts was a drink coaster, making me think of many other Hiveians. It makes me smile when I glance down at it throughout my day. The last present Engine sent was something I never thought I would own. I now have a personal fidget spinner to...spin.

The spinner weighs a reasonable amount. If you ever see a flying black spinner approaching your head, DUCK!

Thank you to my little brother for always having my back! The Girl Scout cookies were delish! I even shared some with Hubby! The best of the best was the caramel brownie ones!! I had not had any Girl Scout cookies in over ten years. Waiting for the box to come in the mail felt like a kid waiting for the once-a-year sale.

I felt spoiled. Thank You!

Help someone smile today. It can not hurt you.

Jealous! We NEVER get girl scout cookies here. caramel brownie sounds perfect!...i wonder if British kids do that, not as much of a thing as in the US for sure! It's great connecting with people all over the world and feeling at home! The alliance is definitely a special place! Keep buzzin Snook!

Sometimes I think it is more the fun of knowing you can only get them once a year that makes them so special :D

And you can always find me in the Alliance Discord plus the PIMP one, too :D

I will ponder on the rest. Promise.

Maybe i'll need to cover the shipping and get them over here once a year also! Especially if @enginewitty is filling the box with Pimp/alliance goodies!

I sloth my way around most of the discords, slowly buzzing into everyone! I'm sure we'll hook you in one day, no pressure, we're all a little sloth there anyways!

Those fidget spinners are better than ninja stars. I heard once, that somebody took down down 2 dragons in one throw! Amazing feats. And who doesn't love a good bum? I mean, I do. So everybody does, right? 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the cookies, I figured they wouldn't last long. I'm trying to save a few boxes here, but am not having much luck. Down to my last box of Samoas. Happy most, that we did greet and then meet and are connected. I hear, it's outside of your comfort zone that the magical things happen.

You better watch out next time we meet. We are going to have Throwing Star Fidget Spinner competitions :D

I still have one box left of my favorite ones. The plain Trefoils. I am saving those for someday soon or tomorrow. Not sure :D

And I think we would have been alright meeting in person too. I might have boxed your ears first, though. LOLLLLL

Magic is magic, for me, just as it should be. We all find the magical things where we are most comfortable.

HUGE HUGS!

This is so awesome. I know exactly what you mean when you connect with someone and it just sticks, the rest becoming a beautiful history of friendship, it's a special feeling.

I love that top and the coaster, what thoughtful gifts and of course who can say no to cookies? They make your heart sing and it was so good to read you happy!

And none of the boxes look wet so the rain didn't get them! Yay 😁

I could hear you in my head at "With a ladies bum on the back!" 🤣😂 hahahaha you better be wearing that around town representing Snook 👀💗🤘 (now I'm sad I'm out of pimp command lol)

It makes me so excited to think of you surrounded by cookies, contemplating the defensive merits of a fidget spinner 😍🤣 HUGS!
