Quick Cash

What I would do if I needed to make a $100 in a short period of time. And how my opportunities will change through the years.

  If i needed to make a hundred dollars in a short period of time right now in 2019 I would start a local lawn care business and hire my friends to do the work. My plan would be to charge the customer 100% of the price then let my friends (employees) take 70% ,leave 10% to repair any damages, and I would keep 20% as manager and head of marketing + advertising. Then over time the 20% will start adding up and then I would soon have my $100.

  In the coming years if i need to make a quick $100 I would probably just sell some junk thats laying around. A garage sale might be a good option. I would find the price that I payed for an object that now has no worth to me I would then find 75% of that price and list said object for 25% off. Thats what I would do if I needed to make some quick cash in the coming years.

In life you will grow, and you’ll learn new things

and new basic

life skills. Out of the many things you

will need to learn, one of the most important is to

learn how to drive.

1. You should learn all the basic signs, how a car works, parts of the cars etc. If you don’t learn about the road and about a car, there’s no way you’ll be able to drive.

   2. You should get your permit. Once you get

your permit you’re able to drive with parental supervision.

To get your permit, you’ll have to be a certain

age it depends on the state you live in, it could

be from ages 14-18, when you’re able to, you can go and

take a test on the laws, etc.

  3. Even if you got your permit, you should keep on

practicing. Go out with your parents and keep on

practicing and working on making sure you remember the

laws and road signs. When you practice you should make sure

it’s in a safe area away from a lot of people.

  4. Finally when you’re old enough you should go out and

get your license. Take your drivers test and keep on

trying until you succeed.

Safe Knives Matter

As I was pondering which types of life skills are necessary, I've got to say, learning how to use knives

never occurred to me...however, this really is a great topic! Much to my embarrassment, this is NOT a skill I went into adult life with an I learned quite a bit. So, to save you a cut or two, please read on for the following helpful information:

1. Use only sharp knives--buying a knife sharpener is not a bad idea. Dull blades are more likely to slip off of whatever you are trying to cut, and possibly cut you, so be safe.
2. Pay attention! Slice away from your hand and keep your fingers far away from the approaching blade. This one is pretty self-explanatory. As an avid multi-tasking, it's not a good idea to do multiple things when you're cutting anything.
3. Safe and sanitary go together like peanut butter and jelly! Use a safe cutting board (not your kitchen counter or the palm of your hand)--preferably one that isn't wood (bacteria/food can get stuck in the crannies). Make sure it's stable and made of plastic, marble or granite that can easily be washed off. Always clean the knife and cutting board right away. Don't decide to freestyle and slice things over the kitchen sink. You will regret it. A "friend" told me cutting yourself and getting stitches is really embarrassing.
4. If you get all chef-y and you're mincing (like onions or garlic), make sure you pump your wrist up and down in small, controlled movement and watch your fingers.
5. Don't lick things off the knife. Again, that same "friend" mentioned it's rather uncomfortable and painful when you lick something off and your tongue is cut. Plus, it's gross.

All in all, using a knife is a good way to start adulting, show common sense and develop cooking skills! So...go safely use a knife today!

In America, on March 17 every year we celebrate a holiday that almost everyone is familiar with, St. Patrick's day. While most people know about the traditions of St. Patrick's day, many do not know who St. Patrick is or why the holiday is celebrated. While most people think that he was born in Ireland he was actually born in AD 387 near Hadrian's wall in Britain. When he was a teenager he was kidnapped by pagans to work as a slave in Ireland. After six years of being captured he escaped to his family but vowed to return because he loved the spirit of Ireland. He studied in monasteries for a long time until he was ordained a bishop. Then he was commissioned to return to Ireland to spread the word about the Catholic church. He traveled to many towns tearing down idols and temples. He also made many schools and monasteries, and baptized and ordained priests as he traveled. Eventually he had converted almost all of the Irish population to Cristianity. After many years as serving as a bishop he eventually died on March 17, 461.

The History of St. Patricks Day

We all know March 17th is St. Patricks Day, but do we know why we’re celebrating? What is
the history behind this holiday? Well, St. Patricks Day is always celebrated on March 17th,
which is the date of St. Patrick's death. Saint Patrick is the patron saint and the national apostle
of Ireland. At 16 years old, Saint Patrick was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave, but
he later escaped. After a while, he came back to Ireland and was credited with bringing
Christianity to its people. In America, we usually celebrate this holiday by wearing green, and
looking for four leaf clovers. We also eat a variety of dishes like; Irish brown bread, Corned beef
and cabbage, Beef and Guinness pie, Irish cream chocolate mousse cake, Irish coffee, Irish
potato champ, Irish stew, and Irish potato soup. At home, me and my family always dress-up in
green and decorate the house with four-leaf clovers, and anything that we can find that is
green.

     St. Patrick's is a holiday we all celebrate, but why do we celebrate. What is St. Patrick's day even about. As said in an article by Time and Date, "St Patrick's Day is celebrated in many parts of the world, especially by Irish communities and organizations. Many people wear an item of green clothing on the day. Parties featuring Irish food and drinks that are dyed green food color are part of this celebration." We all know this, we all do this, but why do we do this? Not a lot of people know how St. Patrick's came to be, nor, do they know why we even celebrate this holiday. The reason being, for, of course, what the holiday its self is named after. St Patrick, St Patrick was a Patron in Ireland in the 5th century. A brief summary would be found in dummies.com stating that St Patrick grew up in Roman Britain. However he was captured by Irish raiders and was taken to Ireland as a slave. According to popular legend, he had rid Ireland of snakes. Later on he'd arrive back to his family and become a Patron. Personally, my family does not do much for St Patrick's, except wear green, everybody does that really though. Also, sometimes, we do eat green foods for dinner, but it isn't often.

Deadline is TODAY for the March Blog Post:)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Remember the deadline is TODAY for the March post. Here's a little traditional Irish blessing for you all and my sincere wishes for marvelous things to always come your way:)

A lot of you referenced Chicago's St. Patrick's Day tradition of dyeing the river GREEN!! They really do and here is what it looks like:)

There are many legends associated with St. Patrick's day, Which many of them are false, such as St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland. Once upon a time there were snakes but that was before the ice age, and I'm pretty sure that Patrick wasn't alive then. He was born in Roman Britain. St. Patrick's given name was Maewyn Succat. At around age 14 he was kidnapped by Irish pirates and became a slave and worked as a shepherd. He later escaped back to his family. He eventually went back to Ireland to teach Christianity to the people. He used shamrocks to teach Christianity. I don't really celebrate this holiday but many people do by dying the Chicago river green and having parades.

St. Patrick's day is about well, St. Patrick! Not many people really
know why we celebrate it. I never really knew either! St. Patrick was
kidnapped at age 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He eventually
escaped but then, he returned to convert people to his church! Who
would want to return somewhere that they had kidnapped who and
used you as a slave! Many legends grew around St. Patrick. Like that
he drove out snakes and used the shamrock to explain the trinity. St.
Patrick actually died on March, 17. In my family my dad's birthday is
March, 16 and so we usually have a celebration a day before for my
dad. Now I know more about St. Patrick's day!

The History of St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday celebrated by many, but how did it start❓ According to history.com, St. Patrick was born in Roman Britain, and he was kidnapped and made an Irish slave at the age of 16. He went back to Roman Britain, but then went back to Ireland with the glory of bringing Christianity to his people. There is a St. Patrick's Day parade in New York that over 3 million people attend each year. According to britannica.com, Chicago dyes its river GREEN for the day. In my family, we don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day much, other than wearing green and eating Lucky Charms. Overall, this is a really fun and interesting holiday!

History of St.Patick

St. Patrick lived in the fifth century and was born in Britain. When he was 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and was kept in captivity for 6 years, escaped and converted to Christianity. Then he returned to Ireland to work as a Christian missionary for the rest of his life. He also used the shamrock to represent the holy trinity. When he died on March 17, 461 he was forgotten, but then centuries later was remembered because of the legends. On of the legends was that he made all of the snakes in Ireland disappear, but the problem is that there has never been snakes in Ireland because the temperatures in Ireland's waters are to cold for any snake to migrate to there. In America we usually celebrate by doing parades, concerts, firework shows, dressing in green, and eating Irish food. My family doesn't do anything on St.patrick's day.

St. Patrick's Day!!

St. Patrick´s Day is a holiday celebrated around the globe and it is celebrated in many diverse ways. The history of it and why it came to be a holiday is a very interesting story. It all began when St. Patrick was born. He was born in 386 A.D in Roman Britain, Shocking right!! When he was just 16 years old, he was captured by Irish Pirates and taken to Ireland. His master Milchu was a high priest of Druidism and bought him so that he could attend to sheep. He was held captive for about 6 years and took his enslavement as a test to his faith. He dedicated himself to Christianity and undertook himself to devote his life to converting the Irish. He escaped by boarding a ship and sailing the seas far away from his captor. When he found his family he decided to live in France and study the church. When he was ordained a bishop, Pope Celestine I sent him to Ireland to fulfill missionary work. He converted countless people and performed several baptisms. He did a lot for the people of Ireland, that is why we celebrate him and honor the good that he did.  

In America, we celebrate in many different ways. Some cities will have festivals, parades, live music, and Irish Food. According to Trip Savvy, many cities celebrate differently  In Chicago, they dye the Chicago River green in honor of the holiday. In Savannah, Georgia they take many days to ''green'' the Forsyth Park Fountain for the holiday. In Washington D.C, they have a massive parade nicknamed  "The Nation's Saint Patrick's Day Parade''. This parade features floats, marching bands, and fire, military, and police brigades. As you can see, America really loves this day and honors St. Patrick. Many people celebrate it differently but each way is unique and special.
 
   In my family, we wear green. eat green food, and spend the day as a family. Last year my mom made green pancakes for breakfast! On St. Patrick's day, we do an activity as a family. We might go to a movie or out to eat. We usually also wear green so that we don't get pinched! That is how I celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

The History of Saint Patrick’s Day

By: Lilly Wittwer

Did you know that Chicago dyes the entire river green for a few hours on St. Patrick’s
Day? Or that the color of Saint Patrick’s Day was once blue? Many people have heard about
Saint Patrick’s Day, and wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. (I mean who doesn’t want to protect
themselves from getting pinched on St. Patrick’s Day?) However, many people don’t actually
know the origin of St. Patrick’s Day, let alone why everyone is supposed to wear green.
St. Patrick’s Day actually celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of
Ireland. Saint Patrick died on March 17, which is the day that we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
However, Saint Patrick actually wasn’t Irish. His birth name was Maewyn, and he was born
in Roman Britain. The only reason he ended up in Ireland was because he was kidnapped
into slavery, and got brought to Ireland. In the article, GPB Media, it states, “Patrick became
a bishop and after his death was named Ireland's patron saint. Celebrations in Ireland were
understated though. When the Irish emigrated to the U.S., they created the bigger
celebrations and parades known today.” Another source, Saint Patrick's Day in the United
States says, "Celebrations concentrate on Irish themed parties, drinks and food. Many people
get into the spirit by dressing in green clothing, and eating green colored food. Irish clubs and
pubs often hold parties or have special deals."This shows why St. Patrick’s Day is so popular
and important to both the Irish, and the Americans. In my family, we often wear green on St.
Patrick's Day, and if you aren't wearing green, you get pinched. We also often eat green
colored food for dinner.

Saint Patrick´s Day, (Feast Day March 17th) The Patron Saint of Ireland. Who was born in Roman, Britain in the late 4th century (400 A.D.) At the age of 16 he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland and put into slavery. Around 432 A.D. he escaped and converted the Irish into Christianity. He died on March 17th, 461, many legends also grew up around him. Now on March 17th, the Irish celebrate with religious services, and feasts. (Information off of: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Saint-Patricks-Day ) My family celebrates Saint Patrick´s Day by inviting family over, and my mom normally has gold chocolate coins hidden all over the house. And sometime when you wake up in the morning and go into the bathroom she has put green food coloring in the toilet to make it look like a leprechaun came. HAHA

Why We Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

         Since the Revolutionary War, the United States has celebrated St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day is a religious celebration in honor of Saint Patrick, who was foremost patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th, the day that is believed to be the death day of Saint Patrick. Although St. Patrick's Day was started in Ireland because Saint Patrick lived there, Saint Patrick wasn't originally from Ireland. Saint Patrick was actually born and raised in Britain. Then, later in his life he moved to Ireland where he was very loved, but that is why this holiday was started in Ireland. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated by many families by wearing green, parades, and feasting. My family celebrates St. Patrick's Day by eating corned beef that my grandma makes, and wearing green so you won't get pinched. My family obviously doesn't celebrate this holiday as traditionally as other families do, but  I really enjoy spending time with my family doing these things on St. Patrick's Day.

History of Saint Patrick's Day

     Have you ever wondered what the history of Saint Patrick's day is, and why people celebrate it? Well, Saint Patrick's day began in Ireland, and Saint Patrick was actually a person. He was born in Roman Britain 4th century. But he was kidnapped, and brought to Ireland as a slave. He escaped and returned to Britain, but went back and converted to Irish Christianity. Saint Patrick's day mostly celebrates how Saint Patrick ministered Christianity into Ireland, in the Fifth Century. It is mostly celebrated in countries that have traces of Irish decent. So that is the history of what Saint Patrick's day is, and why people celebrate it.

The History on Why we Celebrate St. Patricks Day!

When you think of St. Patricks Day you think of the color green and the leprechaun. But that is not the real reason of why we celebrate it. On this website called “gpb.org” it states “St. Patrick’s Day celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick died on March 17, 461. But did you know he wasn't even Irish? Patrick's birth name was Maewyn Succat. He was born in Britain. He was kidnapped into slavery and brought into Ireland. He escaped to a monastery in Gaul (France) and converted to Christianity. He went back to Ireland in 432 as a missionary. While Christianity had already taken hold in the country, tradition has it that Patrick confronted the Druids at Tara and abolished their pagan rites, making Christianity more widespread. Patrick became a bishop and after his death was named Ireland’s patron saint. Celebrations in Ireland were understated though. When the Irish emigrated to the U.S., they created the bigger celebrations and parades known today. Eighteenth century Irish soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War held the first St. Patrick’s Day parades. The celebrations became a way for the Irish to connect with their roots after they moved to America.” This is the history on why we celebrate St. Patricks Day! Also my family doesn't even acknowledge that St. Patricks Day is even a thing so that'ts that.

History of St.Patrick's Day

History of St.Patrick’s Day

Do you ever wonder why we celebrate St. Patrick’s day and what the history of St. Patrick’s day
is?  Patrick’s birth name was Maewyn. Maewyn was born in Roman Britain and was kidnapped
into slavery only at the age 16 and brought to Ireland. He escaped to a monastery in France and
was converted to Christianity. Maewyn went back to Ireland in 432 to convert the Irish to
Christianity. During the time that he was alive, he had set monasteries, schools, and churches.
According to the website “timeanddate.com,” It says “St Patrick is one of Ireland's patron saints
and many Americans with Irish ancestry remember him on March 17. Patrick's Day is fixed on
March 17, but may occasionally be moved by Catholic Church authorities. This happened in 1940,
so that the celebrations would not fall on Palm Sunday, and in 2008 to avoid Holy Monday, the last
Monday before Easter Sunday.” This means that St. Patrick is a patron saints and many people
celebrate it on March 17. It also says that many catholic people did not want to get the dates
mixed so then the celebration would not be on a Palm Sunday or Holy Monday. In the website
“GPB Media,” it says that Patrick became a bishop and, after his death, was named Ireland’s
patron saint. In this article, it said that in the 18th century,  Irish soldiers who fought in the Revolution
ary War held the first St. Patrick Day parades. The celebrations became a way for the Irish to
connect with their roots after they moved to America. Some of the fun facts I found on this website
are that St. Patrick used the three leaf clover to explain the Trinity. Another fun fact is that the corn
beef and cabbage is an Irish American dish. They were so poor that they could not afford certain
meals. So, what they could afford, as the best dish for St.Patrick’s day was the corn beef and
cabbage. Do you and your family celebrate St.Patrick’s day? In my family, only me and my siblings
celebrate St.Patrick’s day because we like to wear green and pinch other siblings if they don’t wear
green.

The History of St.Patty's Day!

A lot of people celebrate St.Patrick's Day but why? Well first let’s tell a little bit about St.Patrick
himself, He was born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century. He was kidnapped at the age of 16
and taken to Ireland as a slave, he escaped but returned in about 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity.
He died on March 17th, 461, during his life he had established monasteries, churches, and schools.
Many legends grew up around him for instance, that he drove snakes out of Ireland and that he used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and
feasts, people emigrating from Ireland to America who transformed St.Patrick's day to a popular holiday
to celebrate all things, Irish. Boston has a very big St. Patrick's day celebration, the very first parade
was held in 1773, and still goes on today! Many People celebrate this in different ways but a few
of the ways are super interesting. For instance, a lot of people pinch each other for not wearing green
but why? Well its because in Ireland if you don't wear green it's considered shameful. In addition to this,
people wear green to make themselves invisible to mischievous leprechauns, apparently they jump and
fly through the air pinching anyone who failed to wear green. My family celebrates this way,my brother
pinches me relentlessly whether or not i'm wearing green.

History of St. Patrick's Day

                                                              

                Every year on March 17^th, we celebrate all things green, watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and maybe even get pinched! St. Patrick’s Day is full fun tradition—but what is the purpose? Who was St. Patrick, and what did he do? St. Patrick (also known as Maewyn Succat) was the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Although he was born in Roman Britain, he was taken to Ireland as a slave at the age of sixteen. There he was kept in captivity for six years! He eventually escaped, converted to Christianity, and moved back to Ireland as a missionary. Sure St. Patrick has an interesting history, but that doesn't explain why we wear green. As a missionary, St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. Each leaf represented a different part of the Holy Trinity—The Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. St. Patrick died on March 17, 461. To honor his teachings, people would wear shamrocks (on March 17) to show their Christian pride! The tradition eventually grew from wearing shamrocks to wearing green clothing instead, which we still do today! Even though St. Patrick was an apostle of Ireland, the St. Patrick’s Day parade started in America! The first parade was very small. It took place when a few soldiers from Ireland marched to a tavern in lower Manhattan. Irish traditions continued in the United States—partially because of immigration that took place during the 1840 potato famine. This brought many Irish citizens to America. Today’s St. Patrick’s Day parade honors Irish tradition with over 200,000 people marching down the streets of New York City! St. Patrick himself is the reason we wear green (besides to avoid being pinched!). March 17^th will forever be a day to celebrate the Irish!

Who's St. Patrick? (No, seriously, who is he?)

We all know about St. Patrick's day, and we all love to use it as an excuse to harm our friends, but do we know the real story behind this enjoyable holiday? Many people don't, so let's just dive in. First of all, not much is known about the first 16 years of his life, because he didn't elaborate his youth in his autobiography, other than his father was a religious leader. He was born A.D. 385, and grew up a normal life for his younger days. When he was 16, pirates from Ireland kidnapped him and sold him into slavery. He served as a shepherd and farm laborer for six years, and he grew to like Ireland. One night, he had a vivid dream, and it showed him how to escape. The next day, he followed what he saw, and he escaped on a ship back to his home. While he was in Ireland, he learned to have faith, because of his trials. He loved Ireland, and vowed to go back. When he got home, he studied the gospel and he was ordained to be a priest, then a bishop. Eventually, he was commissioned to be an apostle to the land he escaped. He went back, and converted many to Christianity. There is a legend that St. Patrick got rid of all the snakes in Ireland, but this is not true. Snakes weren't in Ireland since the last ice age. They might be referring to driving out the druids or pagan worshipers. The snake was a popular symbol in the Irish pagans. It might also refer to creating a new ethic for all of Ireland. St. Patrick also used the shamrock as a way to explain the trinity. Americans celebrate St. Patrick's day by hosting parades, wearing green, and sporting the shamrock. In Chicago, they dye the river green with a vegetable-based solution for eco-friendliness. The main way that my family and I celebrate St. Patrick's day is by wearing green and pinching each other. Maybe I should celebrate St. Patrick's day by telling others the story of Saint Patrick!

St. Patrick’s Day

How does America celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? After some research on how we really celebrate
this day I found some pretty cool news! According to the timeanddate website, it states that
St. Patrick’s Day is a non-federal holiday to the USA so schools, businesses and organizations are
open as usual. Large street parades mark St Patrick's Day in places like: Boston, New York, Seattle,
and many more throughout America. What is the history of St. Patrick’s Day? I never really knew
the real history of St. Patrick’s Day, and I’ve always wondered what it was. Have you? From the
GPD Media website, it says, that this non-federal holiday was basically started by a man who
was born in Roman Britain. He was kidnapped into slavery and brought to Ireland. Patrick's birth
name was Maewyn. When the Irish emigrated to the U.S., they created the bigger celebrations and
parades known today. Eighteenth century Irish soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War
held the first St. Patrick's Day parades. The celebrations became a way for the Irish to connect with
their roots after they moved to America. Here are fun facts that I found from this website; #1.The shamrock: According to legend St. Patrick used the three leaf clover (or shamrock) to explain the Trinity. #2. Dyeing the river green: The practice of dyeing the river green started in Chicago in 1962, when city officials decided to dye a portion of the Chicago River green. From the timeanddate website is said that the most notable body of water that was dyed green was the Chicago River in 2005. #3. Corn beef and cabbage: This is an Irish American dish. Irish Americans were so poor they could not afford certain meals. On St. Patrick's Day, the best meal they could afford was beef and cabbage. It became a staple for the holiday. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? In my family, we don’t really do much.
Sometimes we’ll wear green just because it’s fun to tease everyone and do the pinching game.
Other than that, there isn’t much that we do to celebrate.  :)

St. Patrick's Day

The magical holiday of St. Patrick's day is March 17. The history of St. Patrick's

day is based on a man named, well.....Saint Patrick!! He was born in Roman

Britain in the fourth century. He was kidnapped when he was 16 and was

taken to Ireland to be a slave. He escaped, but while he was in slavery, he

converted 432 people from Irish to Christianity. St. Patrick died March 17 of the

year 461 so that is why we celebrate it on March 17. He was deeply appreciated

in Ireland. He established many churches, monasteries, and schools. Many

legends grew about him. Immigrants that came to America are the reason why

our country started to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. They told Americans what Saint

Patrick had done and how they celebrated him in their country. So now we

celebrate!!!! We don’t celebrate St. Patricks Day at our house, but I would really

love to. Maybe someday we’ll celebrate, but for now we will probably just wear

something green so we don’t get pinched!

There is much great history to St. Patricks day. Saint Patrick’s Day, feast day (March 17) of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britainin the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and feasts. That is the history of St. Patricks day. In my family we do not really do anything big. We will wear green and maybe go out to eat. St. Patricks day is not a huge holiday for our family, but it is just is fun day.

St. Patrick’s Day

When you hear, “St. Patrick’s Day” do you think of green? Do you think of
leprechauns and rainbows with pots of gold? I sure do! Saint Patrick’s real name
was Maewyn Succat, and he was born in the late 4th century. He was kidnapped
when he was 16 years old by Irish raiders. He then escaped, only to return back to
Ireland later on. Maewyn was a very religious man and used the shamrock to preach about religion. He established many churches and schools, and
once he became a priest, he changed his name to Patircius which was then translated
to Patrick. One tradition my family I have is eating Colcannon and Corned Beef for
dinner to celebrate Saint Patrick's day. Another tradition is to wear green, and if you
don’t, people can pinch you!
