Once retired from show business, John Hodgman, meals will be provided for you, although you will be required to take nourishment in solitude. You will have ready access to shampoo, rope and matches. Almanacs and other encouragements of excruciating minutiae will be verboten. You will die alone, in conversation with a sled.

Snake Dream (New York)
I had a dream that I was taking a shit on the floor of my apartment and a snake or something like it was in the feces. I am a male in my mid-30s and I think my girlfriend was there. I can’t entirely remember if it was her, but definitely a woman. Any ideas as to what this dream might mean? I’ve looked on some dream websites but they say different things.
It will be called: John Hodgman: I Have Agreed to Stop. Then you will be allowed to peacefully exit show business, like Idi Amin being exiled from Uganda on a full stomach. Your safe passage is ensured.

IVF Frozen Donor Eggs (Newark, DE)
I am a IVF patient in PA who bought six frozen donor eggs from a reputable agency. I no longer need them as I became pregnant on my own. I invested over $15,000 in them and would sell them for much less. They are safely stored at my doctor’s clinic in Newark, DE but I can ship them to your clinic at any time. I have all of the donor information (Caucasian, blue eyes, brown hair, health info etc.) and will provide copies of the signed contract for their purchase. I hope someone can use them for an IVF cycle. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and good luck with your IVF journey.

I’m Fat
And Very Happy! No counting calories. I’m about to eat some steak with fries that my fat wife is cooking. I’m rubbing my feet together because I’m so Excited!!!! OHH BABE!!!!
My Grandma… (Westchester)
I would like to barter my Grandma. Currently I am living with her. She is independent and does not need to be taken care of. Just be prepared for her ignorant rants about how everyone is stupid and things used to be so much better. You will hear about how she is glad her husband is dead and probably some racist stuff also. She will be nice to you and everyone else’s face but will badmouth everyone behind their back in the six hours she spends on the phone a day. She will do gross stuff like use your kitchen sponge to wash everywhere and put it back in the sink. Also never eat her cooking. She is unsanitary and you will be crapping liquid for days. She does stuff like dipping raw chicken in bread crumbs and then putting the remainder back in the box to be used again. Grandma is a pack-rat who blows through money recklessly and then complains she is poor but uses the excuse that the bible says the world will end soon. And speaking of the bible if you ever cross her she will say you have the demons in you. She believes that she was diagnosed with MS in her thirties and overcame it. (First case I ever heard of) Dont try and argue with her. She is always right. If you have any type of headache ever she will insist you are a drunk even though you never drink.
Doesn’t sound too great huh. Maybe we can barter for some yard work exchange for the next sixty years and you could maybe just push her down the stairs. Be creative…will entertain all offers.
