Well now, let me tell ya ’bout that there totem pole, the one they got up in that Beacon Hill place. Big ol’ thing it is, taller than anythin’ I ever did see. They say it used to be the tallest in the whole wide world, can ya believe that? Story Pole, that’s what they call it. Stands right there in Beacon Hill Park, lookin’ out at the water. Pretty sight, I reckon, though I don’t rightly know what all them carvins mean. Lots of birds and critters and faces,…

Alright, so you’re talkin’ ’bout runnin’ this LibChat thing on an iPad, huh? Well, let’s get down to it, no fancy talk, just plain speakin’. First off, this LibChat, it’s like a chat thingy for libraries, see? Folks use it to ask questions and get help. Now, iPads, them’s them tablet things, like big phones, but not quite phones. You with me? So, can you run it on an iPad? That’s the big question. From what I hear, this LibChat ain’t like a regular app you just download from that…

Well, now, let me tell ya somethin’ about them sequential numbers. You might’ve heard folks talkin’ ’bout them before, but ain’t too many folks really know what they mean, or at least ain’t got the words to explain it proper. So, I’m here to give it a try, plain and simple, like we talk around here. Sequential numbers, they just mean numbers that follow each other in order, like one after the other, just like how we count. Simple as that. Ya know, it’s like when you’re counting beans or…

Alright, let me tell ya ’bout these here pathfinder runes. Now, I ain’t no scholar or nothin’, but I’ve seen enough to know a thing or two. These runes, they’re like… well, they’re like them fancy stickers ya put on yer car, but for weapons and armor. Makes ’em better, ya know? What are these runes, anyway? See, most times, when ya find a real good sword or a tough piece of armor, it ain’t just the metal that makes it special. It’s got these here runes carved into it….

Well, I tell ya, if you’ve been dreamin’ and keep seein’ numbers in your sleep, you best start payin’ attention. It ain’t just some random numbers poppin’ up in your dreams. No, no, those are angel numbers, and when they show up, they’re tellin’ you somethin’ mighty important. You know, sometimes life has a funny way of sendin’ us signs, and if you’re seein’ numbers in your dreams, that might be one of them signs, comin’ from the spirit world. Now, you might be wonderin’ what these angel numbers mean….

Alright, let’s talk about this here puzzle, the one they got in the newspaper. Folks call it the “NYT,” whatever that means. Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar, but I can tell ya a thing or two about what makes this here puzzle tick. First off, they talk about the “grid.” Sounds all highfalutin, but it’s just the way the little boxes are set up, you see? Like a checkerboard, but with more squares. And this particular grid, it’s got a special somethin’ about it. They call it lateral symmetry….

Alright, so you’re asking if this number stuff, this “numerology,” is a sin, huh? Well, let me tell ya, I ain’t no fancy preacher or scholar, just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two. But I can tell you what I think, based on what I’ve heard and what feels right in my heart. First off, the Bible, that big book they read in church, it don’t come right out and say “numerology is a sin.” It ain’t that simple. But it does talk about numbers, ya know?…

Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here… uh…alligator animal totem thing. Folks say it means a whole heap of stuff, but lemme break it down for ya the way I see it. Strong like an ol’ gator: See, them gators, they ain’t nothin’ to mess with. They strong, real strong. So, if the gator’s your animal, maybe it means you got that inner strength too. You know, the kind that helps you get through tough times, like when the crops fail or the well runs dry. It’s…

Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here BlastEm thingy, whatever it is. Sounds like one of them newfangled contraptions the youngsters are always fiddlin’ with. They say it can do somethin’ with them See-Dee games, the ones that look like shiny coasters. Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I’m just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two. But from what I gather, this BlastEm thing is supposed to let ya play them old games on your computin’ machine. You know, the ones with the…

Alright, let’s talk about this moon runes translator thing, whatever that is. I heard some young folks jabbering about it, so I figured I’d poke around and see what the fuss is all about. Sounds fancy, but I bet it ain’t nothin’ us old folks can’t wrap our heads around. So, from what I gather, this translator thingy, it takes them English words we use every day and turns ’em into somethin’ called runes. Now, I ain’t never seen a rune in my life, but they say it’s like them…
