⚔️ What item would you go on an epic quest to acquire?

I would slay a million dragons to get a *truly* "smart" video editor that does everything I need, is easy to learn, and is reasonably priced (see, I'm even willing to concede on price!).

🔮 Do you own healing crystals? If so, do they… work?!

I don't, but one of my friends put some under my daughter's hospital crib before she had heart surgery. Considering she just finished preschool, I'd say they did *something*! 😄

I’d probably go on a quest to get an item that freezes time and lets me get things done. But I’d definitely end up in a Twilight Zone episode where I was addicted to doing it and I seemed like I was rapidly aging to the people around me... dead in one year. I’d assume.

Also I’ve got that disease I hate where you start idly chit chatting with people and start talking about something inane that you have little to no control over, the main two being weather or fuel prices. My version of that is talking about being busy - so I’d also gladly take a gourd that stopped that from happening too.

As for crystals... I don’t buy it. I mean I *bought* them on eBay for 100,000 gold but I don’t buy them as a functioning thing. I’d rather stick to ignoring all my ailments til they eventually kill me. This all starting to sound like a pattern.

Good question. I would probably go on an epic quest to acquire a typewriter-like keyboard with all the modern conveniences of mechanical switch keyboards. It's so hard to find one that has that typewriter feel without it being cheaply made T_T

This is my incredible eBay find, which included the imagineer's business card for authenticity:

This is one of the "Muppets on Main Street" buttons the imagineering team received when the Muppet history project started. He said less than 50 were made and I paid $50 for it. As a Muppet and Disneyland fan, I was absolutely thrilled.
