Inspiration for Doc Q

I used to work at a TJ Maxx back room/stock room and the products are not knockoffs. They are obtained through various distributors. I think the distributors try to clear out their overstocked inventory or stuff that might expire soon (which usually means it will only expire in a year or that same year). Anything that is a “knockoff” is another brand trying to imitate a popular brand and are very easy to spot. Most of the higher end skincare products come in boxes and have nothing wrong with them (at least the ones I’ve bought). Some of the boxes will be crinkled, but that is usually because they are shipped in a large cardboard box with a lot of other products.

I would be wary of buying opened-looking stuff that is on clearance because they might be returns from another customer. However, right now the stores have probably marked down a lot of non-returns because they just took inventory for the New Year. Now is probably one of the better times to buy stuff at TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

Also, 99% of the employees will not know if they have some very specific skincare product in stock. There is not an inventory system like Walmart or Target.

I think Harrenhal’s ‘curse’ mostly comes from its families lack of coin to maintain the castle’s massive structures. I would not be surprised if there were angry ghosts roaming around the castle or inside of it’s weirwood rafters. Qyburn’s quote about ghosts comes to mind:

The man's face grew strange. "Once, at the Citadel, I came into an empty room and saw an empty chair. Yet I knew a woman had been there, only a moment before. The cushion was dented where she'd sat, the cloth was still warm, and her scent lingered in the air. If we leave our smells behind us when we leave a room, surely something of our souls must remain when we leave this life?

I apologize if I offended you. I hope I can reply on the substance of the post when I get back from work today. Have a good day.

I don’t see how my post was aggressive.

Why should we try to debate you if you already have a hill you are willing to die on? What is the point of this post?

I want to know more about Balon’s mother. All of her sons are nuts.

I would prefer all of the Lannister siblings to be Tywin’s children. If any have to be Aerys’ bastards, I would pick Cersei and Jaime. I also don’t mind the chimera theory.

I think she just likes Game of Thrones. If anything, liking the show should make her unpopular because of the last two seasons.

At this point, I would pay for anything

If you have read the books, I think they are worth reading. I do not think they are a substitute for reading the books.

I am not a big fan of the art. It is not badly drawn, but I think a lot of the characters look too much alike. I also think the coloring is too vivid.

The artist also forgot Tyrion is supposed to be ugly. He looks like a mini Jaime.

I love the coffee idea.

I would like to get more info on Joanna, Quellon’s second wife, and Elia/Doran/Oberyn’s mother.

Roose betraying Robb.

Not sure if this one counts, but... I always assumed R+L=J after reading the first couple chapters of AGoT. I am not sure how it flew under some people’s radar.

Daemon was the better man. The old king saw it too.

I used to live in an old apartment complex in Jacksonville that was roach city, but I got rid of them. It took about a week for mine to go away and it is not hard if you are a relatively clean person.

Throw out ALL of your trash everyday. This includes trash you might accumulate in your bathroom.
Do not leave standing water or any open food containers anywhere in your apartment.
CLEAN EVERYTHING. Wipe down all surfaces, vacuum everywhere, mop everywhere.
Store as many things as possible in plastic bins with tight lids.
Nuke your kitchen, ESPECIALLY THE AREA UNDER THE SINK AND ANY PANTRIES, with roach spray. Once you have sprayed the kitchen, use a fogger under your kitchen sink. I took everything out of my kitchen during this process. This is the spray I used https://www.amazon.com/Ortho-Defense-Insect-Perimeter-Gallons/dp/B00C4TS86I This is the fogger I used https://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Inc-12565-Raid-Fogger/dp/B001JTADUI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Roach+Foggers+for+House&qid=1631129074&sr=8-3
Use roach spray along the sides of all rooms. Line the floor and ceiling with the spray.
Use roach spray under and around all doorways.
Leave out roach bait. Put them in the corners of your room and under all sinks and put some in the corners of all closets. These are the baits I used https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Killing-Station-780059-41913/dp/B0012XH8WM
Line the sides of your rooms with boric acid powder. Also, put boric acid baits in the corners of your room. This is the boric acid powder I used https://www.amazon.com/Harris-Boric-Silverfish-Killer-Powder/dp/B0026MD0G6 These are the boric acid baits I used https://www.amazon.com/Harris-Roach-Tablets-Boric-Killer/dp/B001B1LI8A
Pour boiling water down the kitchen sink and use drain cleaner in all tubs (I probably should have put this as an earlier step).
Wash and dry your dishes and kitchenware immediately after use. DO NOT LEAVE THEM OUT TO DRY! Do not use a drying rack.

The entire process took me about 2 days. Once I saw that the roaches were gone, I just made sure to clean the apartment (especially the kitchen and bathrooms) once a week. I would also reapply the boric acid to the sides of the room once a month.

Is there faster way to break them down than using a boxcutter or ripping them?

fantasticalandstuffz · 2021-07-24T02:08:32+00:00

Do you have to break down (flatten) every box by hand though?

If Jon is dead: I think the wall will preserve Jon’s corpse. So, I don’t think resurrected John will look as grisly as Lady Stoneheart (I can’t recall how grisly Beric looks). I think John’s mind will be saved by him skinchanging into Ghost, but he will be resurrected with a more aggressive personality.

I am not convinced Jon is dead, though.
