Most economists agree that by the time you're 40, you should:
- own a fully stocked occult library
- move about the forest in an old cottage atop giant chicken legs
- turn all your rivals into newts & moss
- gossip with owls under a blanket of stars
@Edmonds_Scanner I confess I have done - gossip with owls under a blanket of stars.
Apparently, when you hear "toweet-tohoo", you are actually hearing two owls, one responding to the other. Years ago, walking my dog in the evening, I heard "toweet". Putting on my best owl accent (and hoping nobody was watching) I replied "tohoo". I spent about 5 minutes in conversation with an owl! One of the most magical things that ever happened to me.
@Edmonds_Scanner It's hard enough getting fiber to a static location here, let alone a chicken house thing. Pass.
@Edmonds_Scanner But here in the UK after Brexit it's so difficult to get the Big Chicken Feet add-on that would convert our Victorian semi into a mobile home.
@Edmonds_Scanner 3 out of 4, can't seem to get the cottage to walk yet ...
@Edmonds_Scanner Unfortunately, millennials are ruining chicken-legged-cottages just like they've ruined everything else. "Minimalist" "plant-based" "cottage alternatives" will never be as good as the real thing -- and don't even get me started on the iron kettle thrifters driving up prices for everyone.
"And hid his face amid a crowd of stars."
I love the fact that it took an Irishman to perfect the art of poetry in English.
It took that Gaelic feel for music and song, lilt and rhythm, to really nail it.
@Edmonds_Scanner I'm not sure I'd say "most" economists, but certainly the ones worth paying attention to.
@Edmonds_Scanner @jwz Can’t I just own a bunch of doorways to nowhere that lead to my pocket dimension instead of the nasty baba yaga house?
@Edmonds_Scanner ugh. I'm 44 and so behind on my milestones!!!
@Dasy2k1 @Edmonds_Scanner I hope this is real.
@Edmonds_Scanner I am currently trying to befriend every crow that I see. Crows are extremely intelligent and can remember the faces of different people for up to five years. Now, I'm not saying that I'm trying to befriend all the crows to create an evil army or anything. What I am saying though is that you never know when you might be in trouble and need an evil army of crows. #crows #murderofcrows #occult #nature #flyingawayfromthepolice
@Edmonds_Scanner
Sigh, got it wrong again. I've just been gossiping with stars under a blanket of owls.
On the upside, these little mushrooms I found whilst searching the forest for a chicken-legged old cottage are oddly tasty.
@Edmonds_Scanner Yes but is Baba Yaga's house kosher 
(I already talk to birds... all sorts)
@Aviva_Gary @Edmonds_Scanner Me too - and sing back, do you? 
@PirateJoie @Edmonds_Scanner My singing is...bad... But! I have been known to tell them things (like where they can get a cheap meal or if they need to hide).
(Also have cool convos too but you know...)
@Edmonds_Scanner In my 70s and you just made me feel like an under-achiever.
@Edmonds_Scanner the *most* is the key word there
@Edmonds_Scanner Well, I’ve got 3 1/2 of those things
@Edmonds_Scanner Got 0 and 3. Working on the cottage.
@Edmonds_Scanner The cottage — definitely.
@Edmonds_Scanner @juc It Seems quite a Good retirement Plan
@Edmonds_Scanner I like the fourth point. Owls are my favourite animals
@Edmonds_Scanner I'm running out of time fml
@Edmonds_Scanner 3 of 4 is not too bad.
@Edmonds_Scanner darn it, I'm behind the curve AGAIN. Who comes up with all these ridiculous standards? Those chicken legs are expensive.
@Edmonds_Scanner got No.1 checked, including some rare books, in the chicken-leg, owl and newts department I am a total failure
⛤ (Elle/They) @Edmonds_Scanner And cats! Lots of cats, I love them 
Need to find myself a cottage with chicken legs, and I still have a few things missing from my library.
Drat.
@Edmonds_Scanner
The chicken feet are a problem and I'm still working on the newt spell.
@Edmonds_Scanner owls do have the juiciest gossip.
